Large family villas with a pool just moments from the beach are a rare find indeed, but here we have the pretty three-bedroom Villa Kamini set in its own grounds, a couple of minutes away from the shoreline.

This thoughtfully designed villa is laid out over two levels with an open plan living room and fully fitted kitchen. There is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room with doors leading out to a balcony to enjoy the exquisite views anytime of the day. Also on this level is a further twin-bedroom with en-suite WC, and an additional bathroom. Upstairs on the first floor is the second twin-bedroom with a small en-suite shower.

The outdoor terraces blend in with the natural beauty of the olive groves and there is plenty of dappled shade to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Traditional stone steps lead down to the pool for that morning or afternoon dip but if a spot of sea swimming is your preference, then there is direct access to the beach from Villa Kamini.

If you can tear the family away from the villa, Gaios is 25 minutes walk or a 5 minute drive, for that morning coffee, shopping or simply stocking up on supplies for all those al fresco dining experiences on the terrace.

Villa Kamini is a great family villa in a superb location on this very Greek of Greek islands.
