VILLA CAVALLINO

Paxi 490 82, Greece

Cavallino is lovely on arrival at the front door but this does not prepare you for the wonderfully varied views that can be seen from the many seating areas and patios at the back of the house.

This is a house for those seeking 'The Durrells' a long garden terrace surrounded by olive trees and planted with lavenders and roses stretches down past the 10m electrolysis pool towards a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area complete with vinyl record player.  The house itself sleeps three on the first floor (one king and one single) and two (one double) plus one single sofa bed on the lower ground floor which is accessed by wide exterior steps.  A further two can be accomodated in the gloriously romantic Shepherds Hut nestled in the olive groves at the end of the garden.  With exceptionally comfortable beds, lovely crockery and glassware, two large terraces with plenty of sofas and scattered seating and a glorious horizon pool, this is a place to kick back and relax away from the heat and bustle of the villages.  A five-minute walk to the beautiful Ipapandi church and its bell tower and the path to Lakka runs directly in front of the house.
