LUXURY VILLA NEFELI - Kontogialos
As you follow the narrow, winding roads up to Luxury Villa Nefeli, the intimate landscape of cypress trees, shady olive groves and old stone terraces completely fail to prepare you for the scale and grandeur of the view from this spacious villa.
Nature at its most ethereal expression is laid out before you – and with the dramatic luscious green hillside, looking out over the coastline and crystal-clear waters of the deep blue Ionian sea featuring uninterrupted sunsets ahead, a cooling dip in the infinity pool feels like a swim on the edge of the world.
Often a property with such extraordinary views pales into insignificance, but Luxury Villa Nefeli was carefully designed to complement its unique location with many comfortable, cushioned places to lose yourself in the patterns played out in the water below.
As well as spacious terraces, manicured lawns and stonework the colour of granite, you can slide back glass panels and open out the whole front of the villa to make the inside space part of the great outdoors too.
It’s the carefully considered details that will make all the difference to your stay here.
And if there are no dolphins out at sea or eagles to divert you, the drama of the landscape and unrivalled ocean views of the azure waters and the horizon, will keep you busy for hours.

For the cycling and mountain bike enthusiast, within the vicinity one can equally find endless options.
