We built Storeali in 2006 to be completely in keeping with its surroundings. The villa sits on the hillside surrounded by olive and cypress trees. The views of the coastline and beyond are spectacular. On a clear day the mainland and its mountain ranges can be seen. It is perfect for relaxation in the sun though with ample shade on one of the terraces at the hottest time of the day Inside is a large open plan kitchen/dining/sitting area off which are three twin bedrooms and one double, all en suite. Below is another en suite twin bedroom. Two of the rooms have air conditioning, the others being cooler for being built more into the hillside. All the bedrooms have ceiling fans and all enjoy beautiful views. There is a built in barbecue on the main terrace beside a large dining table for those wonderful balmy al fresco evenings. The pool measures 10 by 5 metres and is 1.8 metres deep at the deep end. It is not fenced. The property is unsuitable for children under 6. Facilities include wifi and an iPad dock. Eva looks after the house and is immensely helpful. She cleans the pool daily and the house several times a week

My family and I came to the island over 20 years ago and when the children were teenagers we decided to build a holiday home there and never looked back. The beautiful weather, warm hearted people and relaxing atmosphere had us all hooked!

Our villa is set on a hill. It is not at all overlooked but we have neighbours in walking distance. It is very private but not lonely.
