A HOME FROM HOME! Large stone Villa with pool & stunning views - FREE meal out!

**FREE first night meal at our local village taverna. Dimitris' taverna will welcome you on the first night of your stay for a complimentary traditional Greek meal**

A home from home! This beautiful Greek stone villa is situated on the outskirts of the traditional hillside village of Paleokatouna, only 3km from the popular resort of Nidri. The main features of the house include: panoramic sea and mountain views, a large well-equipped kitchen, five bedrooms, four ensuite bathrooms, one extra downstairs WC, deck-level infinity swimming pool, ping pong table and Wi-Fi.

Upon entering this homely villa you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall. The large fitted kitchen on the right comes complete with two ovens, an island with induction hob, microwave, double sink, dishwasher and ample dinnerware and utensils. The cosy sitting room, on the left, overlooking the pool has a corner sofa, armchair, open fireplace and smart TV. One double bedroom with connectable twin beds is located on the ground floor boasting immediate access to the pool and private en-suite bathroom with shower.

Up the sweeping marble staircase to the first floor there are a further four bedrooms. The large master bedroom to the front, with private access to the sundeck overlooking the satellite islands of Lefkada, has a large bathroom with his and her basins, walk-in shower and toilet. Two further bedrooms are interconnected by a shared bathroom, with a double bed in one and twin beds in the other, it is ideal for a family of four. The final and fifth bedroom with twin connectable beds has a balcony overlooking the pool with a table and chairs complete with stone chess set ready to be played! This room also has a private en-suite bathroom with shower. All windows and doors in the villa have mosquito screens.

The outside comprises of two shaded seating areas - with comfortable outdoor lounge furniture and a beautiful dining table made with lava from Mount Etna. The swimming pool, BBQ and table tennis provide more entertainment. The raised sun deck with panoramic sea and mountain views - accessed from the master bedroom - is perfect for pre-dinner drinks as the sun sets and casts a magical pink light on the mainland mountains.

This villa is perfect for extended families and groups of friends, the lounge and dining area outside make it the perfect place for evening BBQs and social gatherings, overlooking the Ionian islands.

The villa meets the standards of the Greek Tourism Board and has been awarded an EOT license for short-term rental.

GETTING TO LEFKADA:
The island is incredibly accessible due to the bridge that connects it to the mainland, so in addition to the local airport of Preveza there are other options to get here. Many low cost airlines fly into the neighbouring island of Corfu, from which you can take a 1.5 hour ferry to the mainland, collect a hire care and take an enjoyable 2 hour coastal drive south to Lefkada. Flights into neighbouring Kefalonia offer another option, a taxi or hire car from the airport to the ferry port in the north allows you to board a ferry directly to Lefkada. Other options are flights into the cities of Athens and Thessaloniki - both a 5 hour drive to the island largely along new and empty motorways. For further details about these options simply get in touch!

THE HISTORY OF LEFKADA - written by Nick Edwards
Lefkada largely shares the history of the rest of the Ionian archipelago. There is some evidence of Neolithic settlements and in Homeric times the island is supposed to have been given by Laertes to Arcadius, when their children Odysseus and Penelope got married. This myth and the discovery of some Mycenean remains near Vassiliki led respected nineteenth-century German archaeologist Wilhelm Dorpfeld to claim Lefkada was the real site of Odysseus' home, rather than Ithaki.

The island was an important power base for the Corinthians during the Classical period and played a key role in the Peloponnesian War. It became a quiet backwater during Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times and it was later under Venetian control for less time than the other Ionians, only around a century from 1684 to 1797. Its proximity to the mainland also made it more susceptible to Turkish raids and although it was never held by the Ottoman rulers of mainland Greece for long, it did undergo short spells of Tourkokratia.

Lefkada also shares the Ionian penchant for music and the arts, boasting its own form of kantades and having been home to some prominent members of the Ionian School of Painting, most notably Panagiotis Doxaras (1662-1729) and his son Nikolaos (1705-75). The most famous man of letters to hail from Lefkada was poet Aristotelis Valaoritis (1824-79) but half Irish/half Greek writer Lefcadio Hearn was also born here and named after the island, although he subsequently wrote more about Japan and New Orleans. The artistic tradition continues into the present day in the shape of the annual Festival of Music, Arts, Literature and Dance, which extends throughout the summer and attracts performers from all over the globe.

Great holiday - great villa

We (4 adults, 3 children) stayed at the villa for a week and it more than met our expectations. The villa was spacious, clean and very well equipped. Lucy and Simon who look after the villa were really helpful with information and recommendations. Everyone loved the large swimming pool and the views are amazing. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect property!

The villa was perfect for us, we came in a family holiday with 6 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of space for us all. The pool was perfect for children and the outdoor seating areas and the views really made it. The villa was well equipped with everything you could possibly need and all instructions and check in process was really easy. The only downside was the local taverna was shut when we stayed but this is to no fault of the owners/ managers who went above and beyond to arrange the free meal at a great restaurant in town. Would recommend to any group or family.

Fantastische villa op prachtige locatie

Fantastisch huis boven op een heuvel met prachtig uitzicht. Ruime, nette, schone kamers met en-suite badkamers, airco en fans. Prima zwembad en groot terras rondom. Kregen van de host op eerste avond een diner aangeboden (9 man) in de lokale taverne. Dat was wel heel erg bijzonder en verrassend, we huren wel vaker een villa, maar dit hebben nog niet eerder meegemaakt! Je hebt wel een auto nodig (Nidri ligt onder aan de heuvel op 3 minuten rijden, maar dat is net te ver om te lopen in de warmte).

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette belle villa, bien équipée et très bien située sur les hauteurs de Nidri. Magnifique piscine . Simon et Lucy sont facilement joignables et disponibles en cas de besoin. Peut-être prévoir la climatisation dans la suite parentale ainsi qu'un store occultant pour la salle de bain attenante.

Amazing stay in Nidri

I can only describe our stay as amazing! What a beautiful house with stunning views. Communication with the host was very good. They replied so quickly, answered our many questions and made really good recommendations. The house has everything you need and the kids (and adults) loved the pool. Hours of fun in the pool! We were 2 families and everyone had enough space, the house and outside area really is nice and spacious. You do need a car if you are planning on going down to Nidri. It was such a quick drive down and Nidri has lots of bakeries, restaurants and shops. We definitely recommend this house!!

Wonderful stay at Villa Helidona

The villa was exactly as described in listing. A good location above Nidri, on the road but very minor so not an issue. The villa is a family house so well equipped and helpfully had left essentials and welcome items. The bedrooms were all of a resonable size. We loved the table tennis table and much fun was had by all both there and in the pool. Lots of places to sit outside both on the sun but also nice and shady as was very hot. Loses the sun in the early evening. Loved being so close to Nidri as easy to pop into town for watersports, shopping etc. All in all a great stay and Lucy very responsive although we never actually met. Would recommend Villa Helidona.

Amazing villa - exactly as described and perfect for an extended family

When you book a villa you assume the reality won't be quite as good as the pictures on the site - not in this case. The villa and local area is as beautiful as the pictures suggest. The managers were happy to answer questions in advance of our stay and organised some local activities - a private boat cruise and somewhere to go after checkout on the last day! All quickly arranged at a very reasonable cost. As suggested by the location you do definitely need a car to get out and about but the parking for 2 cars was fine. We were an extended family aged 13-83 and the villa was exactly what we needed with different areas to sit in both sun and shade, together and more privately. The pool is a fantastic size and was well used in the August heat. Having no bathroom door on the main bedroom was quirky but that is the best view from a toilet I have ever had! Overall an amazing villa, exactly as described, what more could you want.

Wunderschönes Lefkada

Ein wunderschönes Haus, groß und geräumig. Die Anordnung der Terasse ist sehr gut, fast immer Schatten. Tolle Sitzmöbel im Freien, alles wie beschrieben. Den Abzug müssen wir wegen der Küche und den Bädern geben. Hier wäre etwas mehr Suaberkeit wichtig. Die Küche ist schmuddelig, die Dronten, die Griffe und alles was man anfasst (Küchengeräte) hätten einmal eine Generalreinigung nötig. Dies kst aber das einzige was es zum beanstanden gibt.

Beautiful Villa!

We stayed for my wife’s 50th birthday with family and we all really loved the villa! The outside space was excellent - everyone loved the pool and the outside dinning and lounge areas worked really well. The villa was really well equipped and the bedrooms were good - the downstairs bedroom was a godsend as I was there with a broken foot! The food locally was excellent with some good restaurants in Nidri, and down the road was Dimitris which we visited many times. Dimitri was brilliant with me, as I came down to the restaurant in my wheelchair and at the end of the evening either Dimitri or his sister would give me a lift back up to the villa whilst everyone else walked back (as pushing a wheelchair back up that hill would have been a nightmare!). The villa management were also superb - Simon and Lucy - and we actually met Lucy and family down by Horizon Watersports one day! We had a lot of questions and were looking for help with things locally for various reasons, and Lucy was amazing at helping us to arrange lots of things and help when I had problems with my foot. Thank you so much for your help!! Lucy definitely went above and beyond the call of duty! We had a really brilliant and relaxing holiday and Villa Helidona and would definitely come again. The one thing that we felt was a significant isssue though was the parking a the villa. We had a mini bus and a small car. The lay-by space was just about OK for the small car, but the “garage” space was very tight for a mini bus and you would have struggled to get more than one car into that space. As a property for 10 people, I would expect 3 cars for that sort of group size and I think we would have really struggled with that, which was our original plan before I broke my foot and we had to go for the mini bus option instead.

Lovely well equiped family home. The property has everything needed for a relaxing holiday.

We were delighted with the property and the views from the terrace are fantastic. Although a car is essential to get to shops, restaurants, beaches etc; nearby Nidri had everything we needed. We enjoyed the activities at Horizon watersports; paddleboarding, sailing and windsurfing. We also took a tourist boat tour to explore some of the fantastic beaches of Lefkada, Ithaca, Sparti and so on. The children in our party loved the pool and table tennis at the villa as did the adults. We would heartily recommend this villa. Thank you.

Villa bellissima

Una casa rifinita in pietra, molto confortevole, con una bella piscina ed una meravigliosa vista sulla baia di Nidri. L'unico suggerimento che mi sento di fare è quello che manca una doccia all'esterno, e nella stanza centrale, veramente fantastica, il bagno è open space..una porta ci starebbe bene. Location stupenda, villa che consiglio a tutti!

A beautiful comfortable villa in an amazing location

Perfect location after spending a week sailing between islands the Ionian - so the villa was a welcome chill out venue. As described, the property was well equipt and had plenty of space for all 7 of us - adults and teens. The pool is super. The house was clean and comfortable. Stunning views. Lovely aspect. Wifi fab. Outside seating a real treat - we moved about the villa to suit our mood and level of sunworahipping!

Perfect accommodation

The Villa Helidona is fantastic! It has a wonderful sea view and a great swimming pool. There's also a barbecue. In the house you can find everything you need - it's really perfectly accommodated. The villa is very spacious - there's a lot of place for everybody and everything. In the kitchen you can find all you can imagine. We spent 8 unforgettable days at the Villa Helidona. We only had an issue with the water supply for a couple of days but it was a problem with the general supply that hadn't to do with our hosts.

This villa is really spacious. Rooms are big and there are lots of them. The main bedroom upstairs is really cool with it's own shower, wc and a private sun terrace! There are many terraces and and a superb view. Lots of sunbeds and many tables and sofas. Everything was clean and nice. Pool is big enough. The kitchen is large and very well equipped(With an ice cube maker!) And it's only ten minutes drive to a natural waterfall swimming pool! And there were very helpful guys (Simon and Simon:) to guide you if needed. It's a perfect destination for a family vacation and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to chilled out holiday.

Jenny is a Clinical Psychologist and John is a young person's hip surgeon. We met in 1992 and live in Surrey, visiting our Greek escape at every opportunity!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

Our first introduction to Greece was Jenny in the 60's during the Junta regime- the Greeks were very generous to the apparently destitute students, two of whom ended up giving blood in Athens to raise money!

Our first tour of the islands was in 1996 when we took the whole family on an Odysseus flotilla from Corfu to Ithaca/Kefalonia and back to Preveza. Further tours followed. We took our third tour by yacht around the islands in Summer 2001 and somewhere in Nidri, looking up at the stars, we elbowed each other and decided to see if we could buy or build a house on the island.

The houses for sale seemed rather expensive (we only later discovered that you only were expected to offer 55-60% of the asking price!) We then discovered a German called Jurgen Kuster (he had married a local lass and the land was hers) who had seven plots, in between zig-zag roads, available for building just above the charming village of Paleokatouna, with its famous Dimitri's taverna.

We came to Lefkas in the first weeks of 2002 to look at the site and to sign the deal. The site was astounding (although thorny and inaccessible) and the view enthralling. We decided to choose a solid stone house with modern amenities, building permission was obtained, but then we discovered that the planned house was the wrong way around on the site! This took a month or two to sort out! The stone was cut from the north side of the Melissa gorge, near Tsoukalades in the north of Lefkas.

We moved in for the first time in April 2004. Since then we have constantly refined and improved the house over the years. The most dramatic development was in 2012- 2013 when we had a beautiful new internal marble staircase made and converted the house from two three-bedroom flats into a five bedroom house. We also extended the outside spaces and built a garage , a car port, a second large pergola and a large viewing balcony attached to the master bedroom.
