Meganisi Retreat

On the Greek island of Meganisi, this scenic villa offers privacy and serenity with stunning sea views. This home's elevated position and surrounding nature make it perfect for a romantic stay, but the many steps to reach it and the uneven ground means it may not be the best choice for children or those with reduced mobility. There's plenty to do once you've navigated the climb, whether that's lounging by the infinity pool or heading down to the sea and renting a small boat to explore the coastline. You'll want a car to discover more of the island, but Spilia beach and the village of Spartochori are both within walking distance.

The garden has an array of patios and relaxing spots from which to admire views of the Lefkada countryside, our favourite being the emerald infinity pool. All three bedrooms have their own balcony too, where you can enjoy some time to yourself. It was the jetty just below the villa that caught our eye, however, which offers a sunbathing area right next to the ocean. It’s only shared with two other villas, so you don’t have to worry about overcrowding. The traditional harbour of Sivota is just a 45-minute walk away, where you can enjoy a meal on the waterfront.

From the address, there's an uninterrupted panorama of the Ionian Sea, Nydri Gulf and the neighbouring island of Skorpios.

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.

On the outside, this charming villa has an old-world appeal, with its red wooden shutters, rust-coloured tegula roof and classic stone façade.

We think it's the perfect family home – and with views like that, it's hard to imagine a more idyllic getaway.

Days here are endlessly dreamy. Wake up to the sight of the Sivota Bay in the distance, then pad out onto the balcony to savour an espresso in the morning air. Afternoons are best spent lounging on the daybed (an excellent spot for a catnap in the sun), splashing in the glimmering pool and swinging in the hammock underneath the shady trees. Follow the path down to the sea when you fancy a dip in the ocean, or stroll through the lush gardens, picking fresh vegetables, ripened fruit and aromatic herbs to use for the night's dinner. And speaking of meals, there's no better place to tuck into a feast than the outdoor table, sharing a bottle of wine as the evening slowly fades.

It's only a five-minute drive into town, where local tavernas and coffee shops sit along the bay.

When you’re ready to soak up the sunshine, spill out onto the terrace and call dibs on a poolside lounger.

After a leisurely swim, wind through the hills to the heart of Nydri, a charming town packed with cafes, tavernas and souvenir shops. Stroll along the promenade with an ice cream in hand, stretch out on Perigiali Beach or hop on the ferry and explore the nearby island of Meganisi.

Wild Sea

Overlooking an assembly of islands in the Ionian Sea, this breezy villa has several balconies and a private pool boasting panoramic views across Nydri. Spanning three stories, it won't be suitable for those with limited mobility, and the interiors are minimalistic and dated in some places. That said, it's relatively roomy and the sun-kissed outdoor spaces are perfect for socialising – the veranda makes a great spot for family barbecues. As it's located high in the mountains, you'll definitely need a car – although the beach and centre of Nydri are just over 1 kilometre away, where you can hop on a boat to visit the surrounding islands.

The Eternal Blue

With its traditional interiors and modern trimmings, this hillside villa on Lefkada’s east coast is a place to switch off and embrace the go-slow way of life.

Come together for a spot of lunch in the open-plan kitchen diner or jump in the car and take the short five-minute drive into the heart of Nydri for its authentic tavernas. Take it easy with a gentle stroll along the promenade or lie back and soak up the golden sunshine on Perigiali Beach. If you’re feeling adventurous, however, explore the Dimosari Waterfalls, just 1.8 kilometres away. And when it’s time to call it a day, return home for a snifter of Ouzo on the balcony as dusk descends on the indigo Ionian Sea.

Ionian Eyes

By evening, the terrace transforms into an intimate gathering place – perfect for dreamy drinks and Greek-inspired feasts as the stars fill the sky.

It’s not just its octagonal shape that gives this home an edge. It’s got a lot going for it, from the walled Jacuzzi garden to the so-called ‘hammock tower’, one of many spots from which to soak up this villa’s incredible mountain views.

Secret terraces and verandas are furnished with macrame hanging chairs, hammocks and sofas providing many a boho-luxe spot to enjoy a good book. The first-floor balcony is the perfect spot to take in the mountain and sea view, preferably with a cocktail in hand.

It feels as though the interiors have been designed with nature in mind. Driftwood sculptures, macrame cushions and wicker chairs and lampshades create a palette of raw wood and white. It all draws the eye to the view from floor to ceiling glass, which can be rolled back to blend the living room with the terrace. The kitchen is minimalist but feels luxurious in dove-grey with everything tucked away behind cupboards. While bedrooms benefit from glass doors onto patios and balconies.

This one’s for a beachy break with the closest sandy bay a five-minute walk away at Dessimi. And if you fancy dining out, the charming town of Nidri is just a ten-minute drive.

At dusk, the covered terrace is the ideal spot to kick back with a glass of something chilled.

The interiors are traditional and inviting – the wood-panelled ceiling adds a touch of cosiness while the tile floors keep things cool underfoot on hot days.

To say the views from this villa are breathtaking is an understatement. With sweeping blue vistas over the sea and the islands hugging the coast, this hillside retreat is all about the scenery. While we think the views are best enjoyed from the gated pool and dining terrace, Ionian eyefuls can still be admired from inside, even if the functional contemporary decor isn’t quite as spectacular. With easy access to a clutch of beaches and boat trips on offer from Nidri’s port, you’ve got everything you need here for your very own Greek odyssey.

Single-Level Home

Secluded yet conveniently located, a five-minute drive from the nearest sandy beach at Nydri, this contemporary villa sunken into the forest is perfectly suited to groups of friends or families looking to get away from it all.

Recently renovated, you'll immediately notice the modern touch that's been given to this rural home – from the sleek glass-screened balconies to the handmade furniture, casement windows and hotel-quality bedding. Natural light pours into the home, thanks to the sliding doors framing the idyllic sea views beyond the pool. With direct access onto the terraces from each of the three bedrooms, an alfresco dining area with covered seating and a sprawling pool area with several sun loungers, this home encourages seamless outdoor living. 

Head out to explore and in addition to the nearby beach, the lively town of Nydri, with plenty of fantastic tavernas and buzzing bars, lies just 3km from your villa. 

Fairy in the Forest

Surrounded by Lefkada's olive trees, lush forests and rocky terrain, this villa has a perfect position high up in the hills. From this vantage point, views of the Ionian are a given – and if you're anything like us, you'll be keen to spend all day and all night making the most of the scenery. How could you not, with Vlycho Bay and the islands of Scorpios, Meganisi and Atokos glistening on the horizon?

Enjoy relaxing afternoons poolside, flitting between dips in the pool, cocktails on the lounge chairs, and naps in the hammock. Come suppertime, fire up the built-in barbecue and dine alfresco on classic Grecian fare, the setting sun and sparkling sea creating the perfect backdrop.

Five minutes away by car is the charming port town of Nydri, one of the busiest on the island's east coast. Here, you can hop on a boat tour, walk to the Nydri Waterfalls or sample the local cuisine at the beachfront bars and restaurants. Nydri Beach is 4 kilometres away, but for even more postcard-worthy beaches, head west to Pefkoulia or Egremni Beach – both reachable in an hour's drive.
