Many times during our holidays we look for an opportunity to become one with nature, to wake up amidst the green of the trees, listening to the sounds of birds and gazing at the blue of the sea. We found all this at the stone-built villa of Captain Michalis or otherwise Captain Mike's Villa<\/a> in Sivota!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Built in a privileged spot, on a verdant hill, the villa is literally \u201cdrowned\u201d in pine and pine trees, offering absolute peace to every visitor. Its architecture is perfectly in harmony with the natural landscape, as if it sprouted from the earth!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here, memories of carefree childhood holidays will awaken, you will feel at home, you will forget worries and troubles in a place of unparalleled natural beauty. Your thoughts will travel you to the Greece of the past, to pure and unadulterated times that you lived in the years of your youth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The view we saw as soon as we arrived left us speechless! To our right we saw the famous beach of Bella Vraka and the islets of Agios Nikolaos, Mourtos, Megalo and Mikro Mourtemeno. Opposite was the southern part of Corfu and to the left were Paxos and Antipaxos! Half of the Ionian Sea at our feet!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the huge veranda-yard of the house you will find plenty of shade to enjoy your breakfast with a view, but also sunny spots for your much-needed sunbathing. The tranquility of nature will captivate you\u2026 In the evening, the soft lights of the veranda will accompany you to your cocktail, when you will listen to your favorite music or read the novel that excited you.<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Captain Mike's Villa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The interior of the villa could not fail to be in harmony with the external environment. Stone dominates the walls and floor, while the various decorative elements (portholes, lanterns, trunks, etc.) demonstrate the owners' seafaring spirit and their love for the sea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The house consists of a large bedroom with a double bed and another single bed, a second bedroom with two single beds, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, exactly what a family needs for a comfortable stay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stavros (the owner) is always available for anything you need, while before your arrival at the place he will prepare a useful guide with all the information about Sivota and the surrounding area. He will inform you about where to eat, where to find the best beaches, he will tell you stories about what the settlement was like in the past, he will talk to you about his father Captain Michalis and how he built a warehouse that slowly evolved into the villa you see and much more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I saved the best for last! The most beautiful beach in the area is located almost below the villa. In about three minutes walk you will find yourself on a wonderful beach, which few people know about and the chance of finding one even in the middle of the season is very small.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So why choose Captain Mike's Villa? Because it is ideal for families, because you will wake up in nature with the sounds of birds, because of its incredible view, because it is a real retreat, because here you will feel at home!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure! You will leave Sivota having felt true peace and tranquility after a long time, something we all seek to break the routine of everyday life.<\/p>\n
