The villa

Tucked away in a charming village, Villa Gwen welcomes you with its timeless character and thoughtful modern touches.

Just off the living space, a charming Greek - style “panga” bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, embracing tradition with its raised sleeping area and understated elegance.

Climbing the wooden staircase to the second floor, you’ll find two classic bedrooms, each thoughtfully appointed for comfort. One of these rooms opens onto a balcony, inviting you to take in breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape—a perfect spot for your morning coffee. Nestled in a cosy corner, another traditional panga bedroom offers an authentic touch, seamlessly blending with the villa’s aesthetic. A full bathroom and a separate WC ensure convenience for all guests.

Step outside, and the villa’s outdoor sanctuary unfolds before you. The sun - drenched patio is designed for both relaxation and conviviality. A sparkling swimming pool invites you for a refreshing dip, while the custom - made marble dining table provides the perfect setting for al fresco meals under the shade of century - old olive trees.
