Villa Despina Benitses is located in the outskirts of the village of Benitses,
on the sea. It is surrounded by a garden full of flowers, and lemon and orange trees. The garden is fenced. Internally, the villa is decorated in a simple and relaxing way. The coastline in front of the villa is full of small pebble beaches, the nearest one being in less than a minute walk from the villa. It can be seen in the photos we have uploaded in the site. The villa looks directly east,on the Ionian sea, so one can admire the rising sun or the moonlighted nights, while lounging on the patio. If you are lucky, you may even spot dolphins! Overall, the villa is ideal for calm and relaxing vacations.
