Tucked amidst a sprawling estate dotted with olive and cypress trees, fragrant jasmines and colourful bougainvilleas, this villa boasts vast outdoor areas, lush interiors and a Hollywood pedigree -it was featured in the James Bond film “For Your Eyes Only” and in “The Executioner”. This stunning nine-bedroom mansion is also one of the neighbouring estates to Mon Repos, the summer residence of the former king of Greece.

Spread out over a generous plot of land on a majestic hilltop that overlooks the Ionian Sea, the residence is comprised of a main house and two guest houses that are connected through the common outdoor areas – a generous swimming pool, shaded lounges and dining spaces, and the aptly named ‘Bella Vista’ terrace. At the far end of the gardens, a stone-paved path twists and winds all the way down to a secluded cove with a wooden pier.

The interior is spacious, bright and decorated in neo-colonial style. Comfortable sofas and bamboo dining settings are complemented by artworks and ornaments that were collected from around the world. In the bedrooms, the décor is simple and the ambiance laid-back. Tall windows provide access to the terraces and bring the sunlight in. The villa includes a pool house and a gym.
