From your hilltop retreat, look out onto a stunning landscape. Fragrant lemon orchards and olive groves lie below; Turquoise Sea, islands and mountains shimmer beyond; a cooling breeze bears scents of jasmine and thyme, stirring fragrant pines on the mountains above - and at night, the velvet-black sky is a carpet of stars. Exquisitely designed and craftsman-built to a world-class standards, Villa Octavius is inspired by Emperor Octavian, who defeated Anthony and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium in 31 BC at nearby Preveza. And to reflect Octavian's dominions, renowned interior designer Miranda Holland-Cooper has decorated the villa with rare fabrics, treasures and antiques from Britain, Europe, Egypt, India and China.

A private 45m2 swimming pool is located on a 200m2 patio with barbecue. Also on this patio there is a shaded dining area. 10 sun beds are included in this area as well. Steps lead to a very private walled Jacuzzi garden; two sides of this garden give you views of the dramatic high mountains to the west over an olive grove valley. The best time for the Jacuzzi is at night as the night sky and stars are stunning! Villa Octavius has many stone terraces with flower beds on all corners. Scented flowers, herbs and fruit trees are all around together with palms and bird of paradise flowers. At night special plants give off lovely scents. The built-in BBQ is located by the swimming pool and is a great place to have a party. Guests will love the fire-table during the cooler nights of low season. A large gated parking area has lush garden borders.

If you are looking for a luxury home, the real Greece, peace and tranquility but close enough to the hustle and bustle of a busy town and tourist destination the villa is ideal.
