The villa is all on one level and has been comfortably furnished and decorated with great joie de vivre. The main entrance leads to an open plan room featuring a spacious living area with sofas and armchairs set around a fireplace; an indoor dining area for 6 guests; and a fully equipped kitchen with bar area and cosy breakfast area. French windows lead from this room onto a spacious veranda with outdoor dining area overlooking the pool.
From the open plan room a hallway leads to the bedrooms. To the left of the hallway is the master bedroom that has been colourfully decorated in contrasting cherry red and cerise pink. The en-suite bathroom has both bath and shower. French windows lead from this room onto the front patio overlooking the swimming pool. To the right of the hallway are two further bedrooms: The ‘turquoise’ bedroom with double bed, and the children’s bedroom with bunk beds. Both of these bedrooms share a spacious bathroom with excellent shower, and both bedrooms have French windows leading to a spacious veranda and the garden.
Villa Regina has Sat TV with large TV in the living room and TVs in each bedroom. The villa also features DVD, outlet for i-Pod, WIFI, air-conditioning, washing machine, dish washer, microwave, cot and highchair, large fridge/freezer and full sized oven.One of the great benefits for families with small children renting this villa is that the house can be fully railed off from the swimming pool terrace. For guests not with small children, the railings can be slid back so that the villa becomes open to the pool and grounds.
The sun-drenched pool terrace is a perfect spot for relaxing in complete tranquillity surrounded by the natural woodland. There are plenty of sun-loungers and two large umbrellas for shade. The main outdoor dining area is beside the villa and has magnificent views over the surrounding countryside to the bay of Aghia Efimia in the distance. There is also a large built-in stone barbecue.The garden surrounding the pool area and villa have been terraced using local stone and are filled with a variety of herbs and flowers including banks of lavender and rosemary. A path leads from the main terrace through the woodland to a secluded and quiet spot where there is a stone-built picnic area. Below the pool terrace are orchards filled with orange, lemon and tangerine trees.
This is a beautifully quiet area of the island and is equal distance between the famous beach of Myrtos with its incredible turquoise water, and the colourful fishing village of Aghia Efimia with its shops, tavernas, bars and cafes. Either are just a 10 min drive away. An old mule-path from the villa takes you down to the nearest supermarket within 2 mins’ walk; if youcontinue on for another 10 mins you come to the traditional village of Makriotika with its cafe and taverna serving authentic local dishes. The village of Divarata with more tavernas is just a few mins by car, though in the cooler summer months of the year it is a really pleasant 25 min walk through the countryside to this village. The very pretty fishing village of Assos with its breathtakingly beautiful bay is about 15 mins drive away, and Fiskardo with its colourful array of shops, restaurants and cafes that line the water-front is about 30 mins drive away. A wonderful day out is to hire a boat in Fiskardo and find your own little piece of paradise for a day!
Villa Regina offers an easy and comfortable choice for any guests – whether families with small children or couples – to holiday in peaceful surroundings in one of the prettiest areas of the Ionian Islands.
