Lehouni II

A cosy vacation home tucked in a verdant plot with sweeping sea-views. This villa is a cosy summer home that belongs to a complex of two vacation villas just off the town of Skiathos and close to the sandy beach of Lehouni. The retreat is set on a verdant hillside that offers panoramic views of the island’s rolling countryside and the sea beyond. Taking advantage of its vistas, the house is fitted with large terraces that offer plenty of outdoor entertainments spots, including verandas with lounge/ dining arrangements and a gorgeous infinity-edge pool that seems to blend into the sea below. The interior is cosy and bright, blending the clean-lined aesthete of modern architecture with cosy rustic details such as wood-beamed roofs and walls made of uncovered stone. The living room, dining area and kitchen occupy the upper floor, which opens to verandas with uninterrupted sea-views. The bedrooms, decorated minimally with provincial-chic furnishings and dressed in romantic pastel tones, are located at the lower level and provide direct access to the terrace and the lawn garden
