Villa Brody

INSIDE:

Accommodation at Villa Brody is spread over three separate, charmingly Paxiot stone-clad buildings.

The first, the day house, hosts an open-plan, many-windowed living area and kitchen with lofty, white, wood-beamed ceilings, exposed stone feature walls and well-chosen, stylish furnishings. To one end of this space is a utility room and a guest bathroom, while at the centre, a wide doorway provides seamless access to the wrap-around terraces.

A few metres away across the terraces rising above the pool, is the second building, the first sleeping wing. Here there are three calming, stylish wood-clad bedrooms:

• a double with en-suite shower room

• two double-twins with en-suite shower rooms

The second sleeping wing also hosts three bedrooms, all doubles with en-suite shower rooms.

OUTSIDE:

Brody’s accommodation sits amidst a garden of mature shady olive trees. Dry stone walls give way to stone-flagged terraces and sun-baked borders planted with aromatic plants, herbs and flowers. The terraces wrap around the living and sleeping quarters, offering up numerous areas for sitting, snoozing in a hammock, cooking, and dining.

Immediately outside the day house is a dreamy al fresco sitting and dining area with built-in barbecue. A pergola on the opposite side of the day house offers another option for al fresco meals.

The first sleeping wing, meanwhile, has its own shady furnished terrace from where, via a few steps, one reaches the inviting pool with its submerged sitting area.
