We (as a group of four) have spent a vacation at Dimitri’s house. Dimitri is super pleasant and friendly, willing to help and understand. He doesn’t live there, but replies at the emails and messages quickly.
The house is nice. You get the whole first floor and the house attic where 6 persons can sleep but there is one bathroom. First floor has 2 bedrooms with fans and it would be even better if they had air conditioners - living room and the attic have one bedroom each. The attic has an access to the huge roof with the beautiful view at the nearby mountains and sea behind. We used to have breakfast over there and it was nice. Dimitri’s parents live at the ground floor, they are pleasant, willing to help, take care of the house and clean it up. You can communicate with them using Greek language or modern translation applications.
The house is located at the west side of the island, which is great because the most beautiful beaches are there. We have been using our car to visit them and we needed from 10 minutes to the nearest Kathisma beach, up to 45 minutes to the most southern or eastern places. To access the house by car you need to use super narrow road after leaving the main road. Also, the main road near the house is narrow - one driving direction is allowed on every 4.5 minutes. Anyway, we didn’t hesitate to use our car and to at least once per day go out and come back to the house.
And in the end, Lefkada is really awesome island, with so many unrealistically beautiful beaches and we will...
Read moreWe had a wonderful time staying at Villa Loucia. It's tucked away in a little village above Kathisma and Agios Nikitas. It has all the usual things you'd expect (3 proper bedrooms, kitchen, dining, very fast internet connection) and a beautiful roof terrace where you can sit and watch the sunset.
The most amazing thing about the place, though, is the welcome from hosts Spiros and Loucia (and, remotely, their son Dimitris and daughter Maria, who do the English-speaking part). We were welcomed like family, given fresh tomatoes from the garden, invited to have a drink with them and their friends, the children admired, and all without us being able to speak Greek (with the help of Google's voice translate feature in the translate app).
Overall, this is a lovely place, a memorable stay with authentic Greek hospitality (really, it's "love" and not just "hospitality") and a great base from which to explore the beaches and...
Read moreStayed there for 8 days in September. The house: exactly as in the pictures, it has large balcony with a beutifull view, 2 bedrooms on first floor and an attic with queen size bed. WiFi is available. The house is clean and nice. The only disatvantage is it has one bathroom , so if you are more than 4-5 people it might be not so comfortable. The village: very small village 10 min away by car from closest beach. It is quiet, not so many tourists, so if you need to relax it will be a...
