Private Sunrise Villa with Pool & Garden – 5 mins walk to Beach, Peaceful Escape

Lovely villa with super pool and lots of outdoor seating. Short walk to beach down a footpath, harder walk back up but very convenient. Very quiet location above bay with views of the sea and beach. Effective air con in all rooms and well appointed for catering. We had an 18 month child and had use of high chairs and travel cot. Nice covered outdoor dining area where we ate each day. Local tavernas nearby were good.

I’ve no words to describe how amazing the place was and I’ve never had such amazing hosts.The villa was perfect. Spacious, fitted with all amenities, perfect for a base to explore and for chilling at ‘home’. It’s close enough to walk* to the village for food, drinks and to swim in the sea. Yet sufficiently isolated to have a good time and not feel conscious of others. (*However, you do need to be careful on the track/road and torches are a must have at night time). We are a couple who took three teens (15, 17 & 17) and everyone was happy, able to take space when needed or, socialise and play together.The hosts were next level. Always available, responsive to help and the extra touches (which, I will leave for you to experience) were something else. I normally avoid going back somewhere when there are so many other places to visit. However, I’d definitely make an exception here and there is so much of the island we didn’t see. Lefkada, Villa Gaia and the hosts have a piece of my heart.

We had an excellent stay in this villa! The house is spacious, spotless, and very well equipped. The pool is a real highlight, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant with a direct path to the beach.The hosts were warm and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this place and hope to come back soon!

We have had a lovely stay at Villa Gaia.Our hosts were extremely helpful, and Lefteris assisted us with everything from airport transfers, hiring a car, and to booking a reservation at Zolithros.The villa is gorgeous, clean, spacious, and with all the amenities you need.The beach is a short walk down a path, so was easily accessible.Mikros Gialos itself is a small village, with a beautiful pebble beach and turquoise waters.Whilst we were here we had a car for two days, and made trips to Kathisma, and to Nidri waterfalls.Kathisma was sporting big waves the day we were there, so we had to be cautious, and after a short while the life guards put up the red flag. None the less, It’s a beautiful beach.Nidri waterfalls was short on water seeing as it was late in the season, but was still a nice walk.If you are keen on running (or a brisk walk), we recommend a walk/run in the early morning up to St. Nicholas church. The view is amazing!Everybody has been really friendly, and as mentioned, we really felt that Kate and Lefteris did everything they could to make our stay the best.Highly recommended!

Perfect Villa and location

We had a fantastic 2 weeks with grown up family at Villa Gaia. The villa is amazing and the photos do not do it justice. Much of the furniture & kitchen units have been upgraded since the photos were taken. The villa is modern, bright & spacious with contemporary furniture & fittings throughout . Mosquito screens, electric blinds & air conditioning, beautifully comfortable beds and sheets that are changed every three days, assures a very comfortable night’s sleep! Outside area is beautiful, with very comfortable sun loungers, balconies with raftan furniture to each bedroom and a choice of seating areas around the immaculately kept pool and gardens abundant with butterflies, with views to the bay. A short, fairly steep unmade track leads to the beach (approx 4 min walk down in flipflops– longer coming back!) with a good choice of tavernas around the bay, which has an old traditional Greek feel to it. We sampled many tavernas, all excellent with very friendly staff - Zolithros & Molos were particularly good. We have rented many villas over the years and Lefteris and Zois have been exceptional hosts. Very easy to contact, incredibly helpful and generous - we could not fault them. It's very difficult to find a negative but (nothing to do with the property itself) there is a villa being built below but this does not interrupt the wonderful view to the beach just selfishly sad to not have the hillside to ourselves but it wouldn't put us off booking again.

Everything as expected, hosts were so helpful but a car is essential to get the most of your stay. Several Tavernas within walking distance but via a steep unmade up path. Lefteris and Zois so very helpful, couldn’t do enough to assist us, a fabulous holiday, thank you!

The villa is perfect for largish families, with a lovely outdoor space, great pool. But best of all the host goes above and beyond to make your stay as perfect as possible. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful holiday! Villa was spotless with all the amenities you would require. Beautiful location, it felt remote but at the same time very close to various restaurants, shops and beach. Beach can be accessed via steps from property. Beach was great, perfect for children and lots of available places to eat. Car is definitely recommended. Driving is easy and allows you to explore the beautiful island. Could not fault the hosts. Lefteris and his family were extremely helpful; informative and generous. Would definitely recommend. Lots of space in the villa so perfect for a family or two. We would definitely stay again if we return to Lefkada.

We absolutely loved the villa, it had everything we needed. Perfect for our family of 7. The kids spent so much time in the pool and loved the freedom to come and go to the beach on their own. Would highly recommend the villa. Thank you Lefteris and Kate!
