Holiday Rental Description

Built into a Lefkada hillside – in a rather harmonious fashion we might add – this sensational villa is blessed with the sort of incredible views at which you'll never tire of gawping. From the address, there's an uninterrupted panorama of the Ionian Sea, Nydri Gulf and the neighbouring island of Skorpios.

As you would hope, there are plenty of spots from which you can admire this wonderful landscape. If the weather's on the warmer side, you can take in the surroundings from the pair of swimming pools or out on one of the myriad terraces and balconies. When the sun's gone down, you can choose instead to sink back into the Jacuzzi or retire next to the fire pit for a little bit of added cosiness.

Although you'll want to spend as much time out in the open air as possible here, you won't be disappointed when you finally have to head inside. There are two wings to the property, plus a self-contained studio apartment, which means that there's an abundance of private space, even for larger groups. The design throughout is gloriously contemporary, with sleek surfaces, a minimalist approach to adornment and oodles of natural light from the large windows. If you ever have a hankering for the more rustic side of Greek accommodation, the pair of wood-burning fireplaces might just scratch that itch.

In the local village, there are a couple of restaurants to keep you satiated, but there's a much wider choice in the tourist town of Nydri, about twenty minutes' drive away. In the same direction, Dessimi Beach takes just over a quarter of an hour to reach in the car.
