Villa Siena di Mare
Perks for the Parents
A stylish, contemporary beachside villa with a private pool, jacuzzi and lawned Mediterranean garden just steps from the sea. It sleeps 4. Parents can enjoy a bit of coastal luxury at this modern beachfront villa with uninterrupted views of the beautiful Ionian Sea and the islands of Sparti and Skorpios. The primary bedroom has a stylish ensuite bathroom and glass doors providing access to a pretty poolside patio with sofa seating, ideal for enjoying a peaceful morning coffee or evening cocktail. The garden area is fully fenced so younger ones can play safely, and parents unwinding on the sundeck or beach can keep an eye. For laid back evenings in, there’s a fully equipped kitchen and alfresco dining table perfectly positioned for watching the island’s famous sunsets. For guests who prefer to dine out, there are tavernas serving up delicious local dishes within walking distance, and the amenities of the local town are just a 5-minute drive away. For guests wishing to travel as a larger group, there’s the option of renting the villa ‘next door’, close enough for easy access but fully separated, allowing families their own privacy.
Why Kids Love it
Kids will love this island villa, with the sand and sea on their doorstep and a private pool to splash around in. The pretty lawned garden areas are perfect for games or picnics with a view, while the poolside terraces have plenty of chill out seating, and a BBQ for fun meals at home. Inside, the villa is kitted out for entertainment with toys and games provided for kids up to 11 and a TV/DVD player in the living room for chilled afternoons or evenings in with a movie. For those keen on swimming, the local beach is literally at the end of the garden, with sandy shores and shallow, crystal-clear waters ideal for younger paddlers and kids into snorkelling. Teenagers are welcome at the local tavernas, which are easily accessible on foot from the villa but sufficiently close for parent’s peace of mind, while the ice cream parlours of Lefkada Town are just a 25-minute drive away. The hosts can provide a complimentary infant pack on request including a crib, bed guards, a highchair, baby gate, bottle sterilizer, baby bath and potty.

Style Notes
Contemporary coastal. Modern aesthetics meet beachside retreat with thoughtfully finished interiors providing a relaxing and comfortable vacation base. Feature stone basins, quirky lighting and sleek furnishings add a touch of luxury without detracting from the villa's sublime setting. Large glass doors and windows showcase the views, with sliding mechanisms bringing the outside in for easy indoor/outdoor living. The gardens have been artfully landscaped with shady chill out spots and plush contemporary seating/dining. The stylish sun deck and outdoor pool are the perfect place to unwind, with the peaceful sound of the sea in the background. We love the beachside location, with pretty Perigiali literally at the end of the garden offering up stunning views alongside fuss free swim time and shoreline walks.

Lefkada, Greek Islands
Quiet villages and some of the best beaches in Greece
This Ionian island is linked to the Greek mainland by a bridge but it might be easiest to reach it by air all the same - it’s only an hour from Athens. Expect fantastic beaches for watersports, white sand beaches and hillsides of bright blooms. Take a boat trip to nearby islands, visit caves or just relax and play in the sun.
