Porta Del Mar Beach Villas Summary
Ideal for: wedding couples, travelling with small groups of friends and family, wanting to experience all that Greece does best. This rustic complex of traditional stone villas with sprawling gardens and majestic views offer guests a little slice of paradise. Sweet, charming and quintessentially Greek, this is a wonderful choice for a beautiful destination wedding.
The Porta Del Mar Beach Villas are set in the most wonderful location, offering spectacular views out to sea and steps that wind down to a perfectly formed sandy cove. The gently shelving ocean provides a crystal clear pool suitable for families with small children. What’s more, from here you can enjoy the famous Ionian sunrise and sunset.
The Villas
Back in 2004, the Rigas family built the Porta Del Mar Beach Villas using locally sourced and eco-friendly materials such as natural stone, wood, handmade ceramics and artisan furnishings. The result is a holiday home offering all the comforts of home with a gorgeous Greek twist.
Each beautiful villa faces the endless swimming pool that is the Ionian Sea. Guests wake to the sound of the lapping waves and end the day watching the sunset, cocktail in hand. The gardens are resplendent with bougainvillaea, sweetly scented pines and gently swaying palms. Complete with sumptuous loungers, we can’t think of a lovelier spot from which to escape with a book.
Inside, the villas are reminiscent of a bygone era. Rustic, intimate and charmingly furnished and yet complete with many helpful modern conveniences such as; air-conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, beach and bath towels, hairdryer, bathrobes and LCD TV.
Dining
Perfectly placed, the gardens on one side and the ocean on the other is the Porta Del Mar restaurant. Here, dining is informal and relaxed. However, great importance is placed on the quality of the food. Most of the produce comes from Porta Del Mar’s very own gardens including pressed extra virgin olive oil and freshly cut vegetables. We love that the menu features Greek classics as well as more modern fare. Desserts are delicious and cocktails freshly prepared. What more does one need?
Weddings
Imagine your wedding day on a sun-kissed beach with the sea sparkling in the background. Meanwhile, your beautiful villa awaits with rose petals strewn all around and complimentary chilled champagne and chocolates. The expert team of wedding professionals at the Porta Del Mar Beach Villas ensure that each wedding is a bespoke experience from the wedding menu to the details of the ceremony, the decor, the photographer and the music. If you are seeking an intimate wedding experience with a vintage Greek feel, then this is the place for you.
