Gardens of Olea

Gardens of Olea: Peloponnese

Tucked into olive and pine trees, stands this villa of ancient stone. Reminiscent of the limestone-clad houses from Ancient Greece, this home almost feels like it should come with someone to feed you grapes. Surrounded by lush greenery so tall it promises privacy, here you'll find olive, lemon, and pine trees. The interior mimics that of the outdoor area, with natural hues of muted brown, cream, and white. The perfect place to catch a moment of respite from the baking Grecian sun.

Hazy days cast a sepia film over this beautiful setting. Days spent by the pool, dipping in and out. Occasionally challenging someone to a game of table tennis. When the morning rolls into the afternoon, that's the perfect time to make the short few minute walk to the beach. The lowering sun shines particularly beautifully on the twinkling Aegean Sea. Or, if you're looking for more action, spend the day at the lively Porto Heli. It's a six-minute drive and full of all of the water sports, restaurants, scuba diving, and taverns that your heart could desire. Spend the day here and you'll return home happy, although you'll probably want to stay and hop around the area's lively bars.
