Relaxation

Just returned from our second visit to this magnificent villa .Even though this was a return visit we are still getting the WOW! effect. The location overlooking NIDRI and the Ionian islands at the front and the green and white Lefkadian hills at the year is a constant joy. Steve and Monica are the best hosts ever .Steve masterminded the design and construction of the villa from the bare rock upwards. With Monica he has produced luxurious space beautifully finished and detailed. In particular the gardens are a triumphant blend of planting and local artefacts. All rooms are immaculately prepared prior to arrival and the standard is unobtrusively maintained throughout the stay. If you want to know anything about the area ask there is a wealth of local knowledge on the doorstep. A highlight again was a trip around the islands skippered by Steve who has many years Adriatic nautical experience and particularly the local waters. Take my word for it but google the villa for the beautiful pictures.
