Villa Mourtos

Are you dreaming of a family getaway? Three-bedroom Villa Mourtos is your go-to. This modern villa is in a quiet location in the pretty seaside village of Syvota in Greece. Perfect for small families – it boasts a private swimming pool and a landscaped terrace with plenty of space to relax, play or simply sunbathe. When you need some reprieve from the warm Med sun, pull out the retractable awning, or step inside the villa where cooling air conditioning awaits.

Inside, the villa flaunts sleek lines and contemporary décor. We’re talking a calming natural colour palette of cool greys and beiges. Add that to the comfortable furnishings – including a large sofa and chairs – and you’ve got a winning combo. There’s a spacious living room equipped with a television and a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you’d need for a self-catering stay. Dine here on the wooden table and chairs, or head outside where there’s an alfresco spot under the shade.

The bedrooms are equally stylish and serene – featuring plenty of space to stash your holiday wardrobe – and there are two bathrooms at this villa, so they’ll be no fighting over the shower in the morning. Soak up the nature views from the two balconies – the ideal place to catch a sunset over a glass of local Greek wine. You can pick up produce from the nearby shops and supermarkets in the village. Or, treat yourself to a meal out at one of the local tavernas. Look out for Greek specialities like grilled octopus, hearty meat mezes or moussaka – all made to time-honoured recipes.

Thanks to the free parking at this villa, getting around couldn’t be easier. Syvota is in a picturesque part of Greece, where powder-soft beaches and secret coves spill into turquoise waters, so there’s plenty to see and do. Wander through the time-stood-still village – dotted with shops and restaurants – and explore the nearby olive groves. You could also hop on a boat to the small islands off the coast. Top spots include Diapori and Alati. There’s also a popular beach in Agios Nikolaos.
