Bright and airy, large windows allow light to pour in and take in views of the pretty, lush grounds that surround. The spacious villa has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a large open-plan living/dining room and kitchen, and all the mod-cons you could need like air conditioning, a flat screen satellite TV, WIFI, and more.
In a quiet and remote spot, the property affords great privacy and has a lovely garden in which to relax, with its charming pool fronted by loungers, a group of sculpted chairs around a low table to take tea or enjoy drinks while lounging under the trees, a couple of hammocks to swing in and read a good book, a little two-person dining area and a larger dining area under a shade, and little paths and walkways throughout.
Located in Ialyssos, Rhodes, just 500m from the beach and near famous attractions like the stunning Valley of Butterflies (17km), the Palace of The Grand Master of Knights (8km), the Old Town of Rhodes (7.5) and Surfers Paradise (2.9km), this incredibly special villa makes for a great spot for both those who want to simply enjoy time alone together and lazy days hanging about the villa or wandering down to the beach and those in search of adventure.
Of course, given the caliber of the property, it has a price tag to match but if you really want to treat yourself for your honeymoon, this is one of the dreamiest options that we could possibly imagine...

Ascos
Ascos, located on the famously beautiful island of Zakynthos, is another idyllic gem of a villa for honeymooners, being exactly the kind of place where one can wake up to morning light glinting across the sea and watch perfect pastel sunsets over the water each evening.

However, the sea views of Ascos can also be enjoyed through the windows of the cosy but spacious open-plan kitchen and living/dining room, the two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
