Holiday Home Rental Description
Sea-view shades of blue await you when you vacation in Villa Pixie, perfectly positioned in ancient olive groves overlooking Vlicho Bay, on the east coast of the Greek island of Lefkada. This brand-new villa has four spacious double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, ideal for a large family holiday or groups of friends sharing. The one hundred and twenty-three square metre villa is built over two storeys and is constructed out of classic Mediterranean whitewashed walls and local stone, with glass-fronted balconies, that give uninterrupted views over the azure Ionian Sea. Villa Pixie comes complete with private parking, complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, and your own infinity swimming pool. The interiors are light, bright, and airy, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that open onto sea-view terraces, and furnished balconies. Villa Pixie is super stylish, furnished with contemporary pieces, natural light wood, and decorated in a beachfront colour palette of crisp whites, and cool blues.
Enter the villa at ground floor level, where you will find a breathtakingly, panoramic, sea view, open plan living space. The seating area sits in front of a picture postcard window, with a long cream sofa, wooden coffee tables, and a satellite flat-screen television. The adjacent petrol blue and light wood kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a preparation island and dining top, with bar stool seating. The first of the four beautifully-appointed double bedrooms can be found on this floor. The bedroom has a double bed, an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and access to its own private sea view furnished balcony, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee and watching the sunrise. A guest cloakroom, with a washing machine, completes the ground floor. Take the stairs to the lower floor, where there are a further three double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has a double bed and ensuite bathroom, the other two have convertible twin beds and share a family bathroom. All the lower floor bedrooms have access to a soft seating decking area with sea and mountain views.
The sweeping sea view terrace is the star of the show, with the most impressive, inviting, step-entry, infinity swimming pool, taking centre stage. The pool is surrounded by decking and is home to white cushioned wood sun loungers, deep-cushioned squishy day beds, and a swing chair. Cool off under the outdoor shower. A pergola cover veranda gives shade to an elegant dining set that seats up to eight guests. Meet on the terrace at the soft seating spot, as the sun sets over the horizon, and dine alfresco, with local delicacies prepared in the outdoor kitchen area with built-in barbeque, and raise a toast to the most memorable holiday under the Grecian sun.

Villa Pixie can be found on the east coast of the Greek island of Lefkada, overlooking Vlicho Bay, where the Yenion mountain peninsula meets the azure waters of the Ionia Sea. The villa is set on the hillside of ancient olive groves and is within walking distance of the village of Vlicho and Desimi beach. The villa is a sixty-minute drive from the nearest international airport of Aktion in Prevaza, or you can island hop from Ithaki, Kefalonia or Meganisi. In the long, narrow streets of the village of Vlicho, you can purchase all the provisions you will need to cater for your holiday and stop at a local family-run taverna to sample the local fare.
The Lefkada coastline is populated with family-friendly, golden sandy beaches, some with organised facilities, a selection of water sports, and seaside tavernas, cafes, and bars. The popular resort town of Nidri is a ten-minute drive north of the villa, with a beautiful bay and sandy beach, surrounded by lush nature, lots of cafes, bars, souvenir shops, and some splendid super yachts. Take the opportunity to look across the bay to Scorpios, the famous island that was once the home of Aristotle Onassis. There is also a port, that can connect you to the Greek mainland and other islands, a prehistoric settlement, a folklore museum, waterfalls and the Dimosari Gorge. Lefkada is famous for its dense forests and mountains; walk, trek, hike, climb or cycle these inland regions, and take guided tours on well-worn tracks, as you pass the island’s flora and fauna. Admire the views of Mount Elati, at one thousand one hundred and fifty metres above sea level, it is the highest peak on Lefkada. Get active with the many activities on the island, including horse riding, scuba diving, fishing, or tennis.
Visit the capital town of Lefkes, with its central square of Agios Spyridon, and Greek Orthodox churches with original icons, and works of the Ionian School of Painting. Walk down Mela Street, with its arcades of souvenir shops and traditional houses, before visiting the Archeological, Gramophone, and Folklore Museums. Take a day trip to one of the island’s many picturesque villages, such as the fishing village of Vassilki on the south coast, or Poros with its verdant slopes populated and traditional two-storey terracotta-roofed houses, winding alleyways, a fourth-century castle, and the Church of Analipsi with its icons and frescoes. See the yachts at Sivota, as you sit and watch the fishing boats unload their daily catch for the local restaurants.
The village of Santa Maria is rich in the cultural history of the island, with a tiny church, a nineteenth-century castle, a fifteenth-century mosque, and a Venetian Christian temple, with a stone bell tower. There are the two sea lake lagoons of Lefkada, in the protected area of Divari and Ivaria, home to migratory sea birds, gulls, herons, and swans, as well as hares, foxes, and ferrets. No visit to Lefkada is complete with a boat tour of the island, sail the Ionian Sea, swim and snorkel, sunbathe, enjoy lunch aboard, and then embark as the sun begins to set. Visit the vineyards and sample the varieties of wine the island has to offer, and after dark dance the night away under the twinkling stars.
