Villa Ladon Greece

If you are looking for a dreamy, romantic pad close to the sea and with luxurious facilities, then Villa Ladon might just suit you perfectly. Villa Ladon is one of three newly built villas nestled in an enclosed olive grove in the village of Agia Varvara, Plomari. The villa is just 250 metres from the sea and only a 5 minute drive from the ever popular, award winning, organised beach of Agios Isidoros. Villa Ladon and its sister villas have been built with sophisticated yet unpretentious design to settle into a natural, tranquil environment. The designers vision was to combine contemporary, modern facilities with traditional Greek values to exude homely warmth, creating villas that completely intertwined with the gorgeous location.
The pebbly Agios Isidoros Beach is known for its crystal clear waters and beautiful environment. It is one of the longest beaches in Lesvos, perfect for snorkeling. Plomari, very close to the villa, is an extremely pretty, colourful town where you can enjoy the authentic Greek countryside life. It is the ouzo capital of Greece as well as enjoying a pretty harbour, stunning beaches, delicious cuisine and a very friendly atmosphere. Lesvos is the third largest Greek island and boasts sensational scenery, award-winning beaches, ancient, traditional, picturesque villages, a huge array of wildflowers and birdlife, lush pine forests, medieval castles, olive groves, scenic, colourful harbours, plenty of museums, a gourmet dining experience and some of the warmest, friendliest people in all of Greece. With stunning natural attractions including a petrified forest and hot springs, its wonderful landscapes are waiting to be explored on donkey or horseback, by foot, jeep or cycling. The island hosts numerous festivals which can be enjoyed along with its gorgeous beaches, fascinating archaeology, stunning scenery and a laid-back lifestyle. The island is famous for its ouzo, its monasteries, its castles and its mountains.
Villa Ladon may be small in size but it is big in personality and style. It is built as a studio with a very cool screen between the luxurious Emperor bed and the sofa, stool and kitchen area. The villa is beautifully decorated and furnished with exquisite taste. The kitchen offers contemporary cabinetry and excellent appliances as well as a breakfast bar and stools. The villa’s wet room is a minimalist, contemporary space with the very best of fittings. Villa Ladon is a couple’s paradise with luxurious comfort. The bedroom and living space open fully to the terrace with a wall of glass doors that drown the spaces in natural light. On the terrace you will find luxury loungers and some lounge chairs under a modern sail canopy that offers some shade. The private 25 sqm pool is a real blessing where you can cool off and enjoy the fabulous views. Guests enjoy luxurious toiletries and a fabulous welcome basket on arrival at Villa Ladon.
Villa Ladon is located in the middle of a huge olive grove along with its two sister villas in the tranquil settlement of Agia Varvara in Plomari. The villa is just 250 metres from the sea and only a 5 minute drive from Agios Isidoros Beach. Its elevated position offers delightful views across the olive grove towards the sea. The villa is located close to the picturesque town of Plomari, the ouzo capital of not just Lesvos but the whole of Greece.
The beautiful island of Lesvos is awash with gorgeous scenery, medieval castles, ancient monuments, charming villages and plenty of museums. The most famous museum is The World of Ouzo Museum which is less than a mile from the villa. It is situated in Isidoros Arvanitis in a fabulous olive grove, just a few minutes from Plomari. The distillery has been going for more than 120 years and exports its delicious ouzo to more than 30 countries around the world. Visitors can taste and buy the ouzo. Other fascinating museums include the Archaeological Museum of Mytilene, the Iakovidis Digital Museum and The Museum of the Petrified Forest which was founded in 1994 to research, promote, display, preserve and protect the unique forest. The Petrified Forest, 12 km from Sigri, is a rare natural site which was officially declared a natural monument in 1985. It was petrified because of the intense volcanic activity of the area. The Vranas Olive Press Museum in Kaloni is housed in a beautiful industrial building built by Nikolaos Vranas, the grandfather of the poet Odysseas Elytis.
Lesvos’ hot springs, health inducing spas are dotted around the island. Many have been used for thousands of years for rheumatism, arthritis, gynaecological and dermatological ailments as well as kidney and gallstones, neurological ailments, bronchitis and sciatica. The main locations are Efthalia, Thermes and Gera. The island’s landscape is rugged with mountains and lush forests. If you visit the island in the spring, you will be rewarded with one of the most amazing displays of wildflowers and wild birds you will ever see. Lesvos is a major stop in the migration routes of European birds coming from Africa. Although there are many birdwatching spots around the island, the most famous is the salt lakes close to Kalloni, in the centre of the island. The island is renowned for its high-quality olive oil as well as its ouzo. Lesvos is sprinkled with many picturesque villages. The village of Molyvos is a must visit for its spectacular views of the Aegean Sea. An imposing medieval castle sits above the village where it used to protect the village from invasions. You can take some lovely boat excursions from Molyvos. The ancient walls of Molyvos were once beseiged by Archilles himself. Other pretty villages include Mytilene, Agiossos and Skala Sikamias. The seaside town of Sigri is very popular, a remote outpost of Greek island tourism. Other attractions include the Castle of Mytilene, the Monastery of Saint Raphael, the Ipsilou Monastery, The Ancient Theatre of Lesvos and the Roman Aqueduct which dates from the 3rd century AD. The Castle of Mytilene was originally built in medieval times but has undergone many transformations by the Genovese and the Turks.  
The 23 beaches of Lesvos are usually small pebbled bays, some totally secluded even in high season. Villa Ladon is close to the delightful Ammoudeli Beach and Agios Isidoros Beach, less than 10 miles from the fun Vatera Beach, just over 3 miles from Melinda Beach and roughly 7 miles from Tarti Beach. The stunning Vatera Beach is as long as many of the Cyclades islands themselves. Vatera, Petra and Molyvos beaches offer excellent watersports and are organised with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. It is good to hire a car or go on a boat trip to discover some of the island’s excellent beaches.
