Villa in Marrakesh, Morocco
5.0 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviewsVilla Zin
Relish the lush serenity of a private oasis in this exquisite Moroccan villa near Marrakech. Nestled amid expansive gardens, olive groves, and stately palms yielding to Atlas Mountain vistas, the villa's alfresco living spaces set an enchanting stage for wedding receptions, special events, or intimate gatherings with loved ones. Eight bedroom suites, oustanding spa faciliites, and 800 square meters of interior living space accommodate parties of sixteen, with two stand-alone guesthouses offering privacy to couples or small families. Situated along the prestigious Route Amizmiz, Villa Zin is an easy drive from the splendors of central Marrakech and some of the country's finest golf courses. The 12,000-square-meter estate revolves around a lagoon-like swimming set between two alfresco dining areas. One features a long table and ample lounge beneath a rustic palm pavilion with gorgeous hanging lanterns and a charming dinner bell—an open-air banquet hall in a tropical glade. The second occupies the ample patio adjacent to the main house. Canopied sunbeds, elegant loungers, and a palm-strung hammock line the sparkling water, inviting you to delicious days and nights under the clear sky. A glass wall with wide threshold joins the dining patio with the main house, allowing the interior to breathe the fragrant air. Sumptuous sofas invite you to evening aperitifs overlooking the pool, while a hearth-warmed parlor and study will keep you toasty after nightfall. Separate from these living areas, the villa's spa includes a massage room, traditional Hammam, and modern, well-equipped gym enclosed by garden-view windows. The main house includes three garden-level bedrooms opening to the terrace. Warm fireplaces and traditional Moroccan decorative details such as tadelakt walls, hendira rugs, batik textiles, and Berber-inspired furnishings cast a dreamy ambiance. Each of the two stand-alone guest apartments enjoys a private entrance, furnished terrace, and sixty square meters of living space. One, known as the Shadow Pavilion, includes two bedrooms nestled amid bougainvillea. The three-bedroom Musk Pavilion is adjacent to the gym. Villa Zin blends exclusive privacy with outstanding proximity to the finest destinations in and around Marrakech. You're a short drive to Royal Golf Marrakech and Amelkis, while Jemma El Fna square in the old city's Medina quartier is a half-hour away. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Villa in Thira, Greece
4.57 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsOlia 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.
