Olia Villa

Tucked away on a hillside in beautiful Imerovigli, far away from the tourist crowds, Villa Estelle offers contemporary clean and compact living with sensational views. Ideal for families and small groups, this lovely home from home can also host intimate weddings and social occasions (event fee applies). Fill your lungs with fresh ozone as you gaze across the deep blue of the Aegean Sea to the mysterious Santorini volcano and magical island of Thirasia. A villa manager and concierge will make sure your vacation lives up to your dreams and a daily housekeeper will keep everything neat and tidy. There is not a sharp angle within curvaceous Villa Estelle. The building - and even one of the nightstands - has been crafted from snow-white stone and the kitchen fits snugly into a rounded alcove. Its splendid waterfront location is mirrored by the softly lit heated plunge pool and you can enjoy fabulous views from the roof garden, day or evening. Lavender sunsets are a Santorini spectacle and an alfresco poolside dining table enhanced by candles means you can gather with friends or family and talk long into the night. Indoors, a homely living room opens out onto the sun terrace. Cushion-stacked sofas invite you to put your feet up and enjoy all the entertainments on offer. Pick a movie from the collection and play it on your DVD player. There’s a satellite television and games console. Staying connected with the outside world is also an option with Wi-Fi. Prepare yourself a fresh juice or strong coffee in the compact kitchen and enjoy it from your lounger as you soak up the morning sun. Later, you might fancy cooking up a feast on the gas grill.  Drowsy from all the sea air and sunshine, you’ll be looking forward to a sound night’s sleep and Villa Estelle’s three air-conditioned king-size bedrooms can offer just that. All the home comforts are here, from LCD televisions and the finest linen to modern en-suite bathrooms with showers. There are also two sofa beds, ideal for teens and one of the rooms boasts a writing desk, perfect for penning postcards home. If you feel like exploring the area, a five minute walk will take you to a church, restaurant and grocery store in the nearby town. It’s a 8.2 km drive to the airport and nearest beach.

Blinkwater Villa

Settle into a laid-back routine of beach time, braai and exploring Cape Town at Blinkwater Villa with a 5-star grading from the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa. Though it’s set on a leafy, residential cul-de-sac, this contemporary vacation rental is only a few minutes’ walk from Camps Bay and its beach, and a few minutes’ drive from highlights like Table Mountain and the city center. The architect-designed interiors and four suite-style bedrooms can be shared by up to eight guests. Unwind in the shadow of Lion’s Head on private terraces with loungers and a pool, and alfresco dining for ten. Watch the stars come out over the mountains from the outdoor living areas or finish the evening inside around the TV and sound system, sharing photos of your day via Wi-Fi. Sliding glass doors link the open-concept great room of Blinkwater Villa to the terraces for stunning views of the bay and hills. Sleek contemporary furnishings give the living and dining areas a feel of modern luxury, and, in the fully equipped kitchen, you’ll find stylishly minimal cabinets along with a practical breakfast bar and state-of-the-art appliances. The villa’s four bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, are well suited to groups of friends or extended family on holiday together. There are three with king beds and one with a queen bed; all open to terraces or a courtyards that have been thoughtfully landscaped with indigenous plants. Nestled between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, Camps Bay is one of Cape Town’s trendiest areas—and Blinkwater Villa is in the heart of it. It’s only a 4-minute walk to the beach, which is popular with locals and visitors alike, and 10 minutes to the downtown area, where you can browse unique shops, grab a coffee at a hip new spot or book a honeymoon-worthy dinner at an oceanfront restaurant. With Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, the Twelve Apostles and central Cape Town all less than 15 minutes away by car, you’ll have no trouble exploring this vibrant city. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

Thalassa Residence

Think about the warmth of the sun and the cool of the sea breeze—and nothing else—at Thalassa Residence. This newly built Crete vacation rental is designed for relaxation, whether that means napping in the sun, making memories with friends and family, or a little bit of both. Its six bedrooms can accommodate groups of up to twelve, while a location near the town of Panormos is convenient to shopping and dining. You’ll want to spend most of your holiday on the villa’s stunning terrace, which features a swimming pool, hot tub, tempting row of loungers, sitting area, barbecue and pergola-covered dining area, all with views of the sea. Inside, however, you’ll also find luxury amenities from a games room and sauna to a private exercise room and elevator. Sliding glass doors that run nearly from wall to wall make the villa’s L-shaped great room feel like an extension of the terrace. Understated furniture and stone floors look chic (and feel cool underfoot) in the living and dining areas, while a sleek corner fireplace will add warmth if you want it. The kitchen, on the other side of the L, is fully equipped and has an inviting breakfast bar. Each of the six bedrooms at Thalassa Residence has a king bed, en-suite bathroom and TV, and several of the suites open to a balcony or terrace as well. Like the main living areas, the bedrooms are bright and stylish, with refined details like tufted headboards or graceful side chairs, plus spa-worthy bathrooms splashed with stone tile. The villa’s location in the Rethymno area is a 10-minute walk from Panormos Beach—a quieter stretch of sand perfect for a honeymoon-style stroll or splashing with the kids—and an 11-minute walk from the town of Panormos, where you can take care of shopping, explore the cobbled streets or sample the local tavernas.
