Description
With its whitewashed walls, forest green shutters and pantile roof, this old stone cottage nestles on its high perch among the trees, a sunny terrace at the front furnished for al fresco dining. The villa’s interiors are a charming step back in time, where modern appliances complement a simple kitchen, air conditioning cools two comfortable bedrooms, and WiFi enhances island simplicity in the sitting/dining room, with its dark wood table and country-style cushioned bench. So far, so beautifully bucolic, but the very traditional Erimitis has a secret wow factor.A stone path, 120 metres long, twists and turns between the olive trees to a cliff-top clearing, where a stunning infinity pool seems to spill over the edge, and dramatic coastal views are unrivalled. Joined by a poolside dining area and handy kitchenette, it is the perfect place to raise a toast to the sun as it turns the sky pink and slips into the sea. On the adjacent peninsula, the Erimitis Bar & Restaurant is a popular spot, and the villa is 800 metres from a local taverna, and about 2km from Fontana’s bakery and mini-market, and from the beach at Erimitis Bay.
