Description
‘Oneiro’ is Greek for ‘dream’, and this cheerful, colourful, character house certainly has the criteria for a dream holiday, in its views, its quiet but convenient location, and in the villa itself. With pastel décor and vibrant fabrics indoors, and outer walls colour-washed in warm burnt-orange, the house looks out over bright blossomed shrubs and olive grove slopes to the deep blue of the bay. In the foreground, a softly curved infinity pool is a cool splash of pale turquoise filling the lower terrace. In the distance are the heat-hazed mountains of Albania.And in-between, Avlaki’s pebble beach forms a broad crescent of seafront tavernas easily accessed just 1.3km from the villa. With air conditioning throughout, and exotic pieces from India and Morocco, Oneiro is both comfortably and creatively designed. Its welcoming living room and each of the three bedrooms open on to a terrace or balcony, and are complemented outdoors by a delightful dining veranda, and terraces sprinkled with seats, sofas and sun-loungers.
