Inside

accommodation at Oikos Nostos is all on one, step free, level.

The main entrance opens into a welcoming hallway, which in turn leads into a generously proportioned, extremely bright open-concept communal area. The most striking feature of this space is the sweep of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, which serve not only to make the most of the spectacular sea views, but also to unite the interiors and the terraces in a seamless continuum. In terms of design, clean contemporary lines, soothing colours, and a minimalist aesthetic combine to create a sense of grace and ease that is enhanced by the Greek sun, the gentle sea breezes and the inspiring cliff-top position.

At the centre of the open-plan communal space is a well-equipped contemporary kitchen, which features a large central island-bar. Beyond this is the dining area, with its impressive marble table and access to the guest WC. Nearest to the main entrance, meanwhile, is the living area, which has been furnished with a voluminous sink-in L-shaped sofa and a selection of easy chairs. Wherever you are in this space, the views out to sea and across the neighbouring islands are hypnotic.

From one side of the living area, a corridor leads to the sleeping wing and the three bedrooms, all of which come with walls of sliding glass doors, terrace access, tranquil vibes and exceptional sea views:

• a double with in-room sink, and an en-suite shower room with a skylight above the shower
• a double with walk-through wardrobe and en-suite shower room with a skylight above the shower
• the main bedroom, a large double with self-standing in-room tub, and an en-suite shower room with double sinks

Accommodation at Oikos Nostos is completed by a gym on a lower floor, accessed via an external flight of steps.

Outside

all of the rooms at Oikos Nostos flow out via walls of sliding glass doors onto a terrace that wraps around the property on all sides and offers endless panoramas across the sparkling blue Ionian Sea to Meganissi, the islets of Arkoudi and Atakos, and, in the distance, Kefalonia and Ithaca.

Dotted with sitting areas (allowing all guest to find their own spot), the terrace finds its apotheosis outside the open-plan communal space. Here is the extraordinary 20m-long angular infinity pool with an adjoining hydromassage pool.

At one end of the pool, a sun-kissed stretch of decking gives way to a voluminous shaded area furnished with a large sofa, easy chairs and a dining table.

Daily maid service, up to 2 hours per day, and a chef service are included at Oikos Nostos.

The chef service in more detail:
• your chef will prepare breakfast and either lunch or dinner on 6 days (for a total of 12 meals per week), including dinner on arrival day and breakfast on departure day
• the cost of ingredients and beverages are not included and should be paid directly to the chef by guests during their stay
• guests can choose between lunch or dinner and select the timing of their meals
• a flexible menu will be provided on arrival or prior to arrival
• all dietary preferences and allergies will be catered for
• the service includes table setup, waiting at table, and cleaning of the table and kitchen area afterwards
• the discreet chef will spend around 2 hours per meal at the villa but will fully respect guests' privacy - most of the cooking (except where the barbecue is concerned) will be carried out in the second kitchen away from the main house and its terraces and its pool area

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

Oikos Nostos features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

The final section of the access road to Oikos Nostos is a little rough, so we recommend guests hire a 4x4 or at least a car with high ground clearance.

Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist.
