Description:
Ella's was built 6 years ago and recently has had the addition of a beautiful 10m pool which nestles below the house and two terraces and enjoys stunning views across the olive groves and cypress trees over the sea towards Kephalonia. It is very peaceful and quiet and the house and the pool area are completely secluded. The sea is five minutes away by car, and the lively resort of Alykes just 15 minutes. An English run sailing club is nearby where you can enjoy delicious alfresco eating (use of facilities by prior arrangement and depending of time of year). Spiti Martini is 150 metres from Ella's and provides an ideal opportunity for 2 families or larger groups to holiday together.
