Perched on the northern side of Ithaca, in the area of Pilikata, with three other properties, Mint Villa offers a private oasis away from the hustle and bustle of day to day life. Ithaca island is everything the legends describe it to be, with rugged landscapes, turquoise water and white sandy beaches that will take your breath-away! The villa itself sleeps four guests, with homely interiors and beautiful open terraces featuring stunning views over the island and sea. Located a ten-minute drive from the beach and just five-minutes from the town of Stavros, everything you need is nearby, making the calm and tranquil setting of Mint Villa even more desirable, the perfect retreat after sunny days exploring the island. Elegant and luxurious, yet with a friendly, personal touch, the interiors feature old firebrick walls, with wooden floors and solid wood furniture, creating a homely, warm atmosphere. On the ground floor, there is an open-plan living area, with a kitchen, dining area and lounge, as well as elegant doors opening out to a charming balcony. This space feels larger than it is, with a double height ceiling over the living and dining space, and a balcony on the first-floor level that overlooks the room, creating a social connection between upstairs and downstairs. In the lounge a feature fireplace adds to the homely feel, encouraging guests to curl up and relax, making themselves at home. There is a twin bedroom on the ground floor, as well as a romantic double room on the top floor. Both floors offer a bathroom. The bedrooms have plenty of storage and benefit from the bright, sunny windows that draw the outside in! Stepping out to the terrace, it is evident that outdoor living is a must! Whether it is a morning coffee on the balcony, a cook-off on the barbecue or a sociable evening meal around the al-fresco dining table, at points there is no need to step foot inside! The private swimming pool is perfect for kids and adults alike and the terrace offers plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sunshine.  Features: The Villa Ground floor - Open-plan living room and dining area - Twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom First floor - Double bedroom with en-suite bathroom Exterior - Two terraces - Swimming pool in a fenced area - Sun loungers - Barbecue - Outdoor dining area - Balcony Additional facilities - 3 TVs - Alarm system - Sound system - Safebox - DVD - Ironing board and iron - Hairdryer - Small dishwasher - Microwave - Filter coffee machine - Toaster - Hob - Oven - Fridge freezer Location: Mint Villa is located in an area known as Pilikatai, on the breath-taking island of Ithaka, near to the large village of Stavros.

Known as the homeland of Odysseus, Ithaka island is every bit as rugged, romantic and beautiful as it is described in the legend. The natural beauty of this peaceful holiday destination easily charms and seduces travellers, with the ancient ruins, picturesque harbour villages and countryside walks offering something for everyone to explore. The villa benefits from complete privacy and far-reaching views yet located nearby Stavros; once a small fishing village and now a developed tourist resort, you have everything you could need nearby. Ithaca’s rugged coastline is made up of limestone cliffs, bays and short strips of white sand. Several of the beaches are only accessible on foot or by boat. The nearest beach from the villas is the beach of the Ancient City of Stavros. Formed into a semi-circular lagoon, the beach is completely protected from the winds, offering a peaceful setting for you to rest on the white sand and swim in the glistening turquoise water. Squeezed between Kefalonia and the mainland, the only way to access the island is by boat or a private jet, creating a feel of complete privacy and exclusivity. Guests can get a boat from Patras, Kefalonia, Astakos or Lefkada and have the option to enjoy a day cruise during the holiday to explore the surrounding coves, beaches and islands!
