Excellent location, within walking distance of the beach.First class barbecuing facilities and cocktail bar which we used when friends staying on the island visited.The pool was perfect with the added dimension of a table tennis table. The villa was immaculate with perfect accommodation for myself and my four children aged 16-21.We had a lovely time and left with lots of fond memories.

Straight from booking our host Lefteris was very welcoming and helpful, replying to questions almost immediately. When we arrived we were met by a very helpful family member who showed us around the stunning villa and answered all our questions. Lefteris then was brilliant recommending tavernas, boat hires and making bookings for us. The villa was lovely and clean and had everything we needed, the BBQ area was the best of any villa I’ve stayed at. My kids absolutely loved the table tennis and pristine pool. Rooms spotless, cool and dark at night with excellent shutters. The walk to the beach although unpaved was no problem, 4 mins down and 5 mins up, even in the dark using our phone lights. Our family had the most wonderful time, we have stayed in dozens of villas in Spain, Italy and Greece and this was the most luxurious. We will be back

Fabulous villa lovely location and views

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!

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.

Great stay

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.

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.

Fantastic stay

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!

Fabulous Villa

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.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Lefteris for letting us stay in his villa. It is in a great location with wonderful views over the bay. The welcome gifts were much appreciated. There has been great thought put into what you might need or want to use on your holiday. We loved playing table tennis, having coffee in different areas and swimming in the beautiful pool. (The loungers are really comfortable!).Although we did not meet him in person, Lefteris was so kind and helpful offering to make reservations, give suggestions and ideas of where to go. The Fly me bar was a bit hit, particularly with our 20 year old son!We had a very relaxing wonderful holiday and would definitely return

Staying at Viila Gaia

We recently spent a week in the beautiful island of Lefkada, staying at Villa Gaia in the south of island in small village on the coast called Mikros Gialos. The villa is amazing, pictures just don't do it justice. Very very clean and modern inside with everything you need. The villa is very well equipped. The best part is outside though. There are terraces and balconies outside every bedroom with amazing views of the mountain and beach. Pool area is immaculate and extremely comfortable. Make sure you hire a car though as the villa is quite remote and most families would want to be able to drive to explore the stunning beaches around d the island. I can't recommend Lefkada and this villa enough though. Very happy customers!! :)

Sehr komfortables Haus in traumhaft ruhiger Lage

Schon im Vorfeld war die Kommunikation mit Lefteris sehr freundlich, schnell und genau. Das Haus ist sehr schön und modern (gute Betten!) mit viel Platz für bis zu 6 Personen. Wir waren zu viert und unsere Kinder haben ihre Zimmer mit jeweils eigenem Bad sehr genossen. Der Pool ist sehr schön und tief genug (1.80), um sicher hinein zu springen. In der gut ausgestatteten Küche haben wir nichts vermisst. Der Garten ist so groß, dass unsere bewegungsfreudigen Kinder sich gut austoben konnten. Das besondere: Haus und Garten bieten jede Menge tolle Plätze zum Relaxen, mit wunderbaren Aussichten auf Berge und Meer. Die Ruhe empfanden wir als äußerst erholsam. Der Pfad zum Kiesstrand ist kurz, bergab geht man keine 5 Minuten. Einzige kleine Schwäche: der Fahrweg vom Ort/Strand zum Haus ist mit einem normalen Auto sehr rumpelig und kein Vergnügen.

Response from VrboOwner on May 29, 2022
Dear Gerrit Thank you very much for the positive review and your feedback. We are aware of the issue with a small part of the access road to the villa. The maintenance of the road is the responsibility of the local Municipality, and unfortunately as your stay was a little bit earlier in the season they did not have the chance to make the necessary repairs to the road yet. The road will be fully repaired the next time you come and stay with us :). Thank you again for choosing our villa for your stay in Lefkas, we really appreciate it. Best wishes Lefteris & Kate

Absolutely perfect.

The villa is superb in every way. Clean, very well equipped, spacious, elegant yet very comfortable and homely. The grounds and pool are also lovely. Amazing views from the villa and a very easy short walk down to the beach and village. Lovely unspoilt friendly village and great tavernas. Cannot fault this villa in any way.

Villa Gaia

We have just had a fantastic week at Villa Gaia. Lefteris was super helpful, answering all our questions and recommending car hire, tavernas and boat hire for us. The location of the villa couldn't be better - a very short walk down a small path to the beach where there are plenty of fantastic tavernas for breakfast, lunch and dinner, right on the beach with breathtaking views. Quite a few little minimarkets too which makes life very easy. So much to do right on your doorstep:- hire canoes/paddle boards/motor boats. So many other little beaches and bays to visit by boat from the island. The villa itself had a beautiful pool with a fantastic view from the villa and garden. All the rooms are a good size with efficient airconditioning. All in all, a really amazing place to stay and we would all definitely love to come again and would stay here for sure! We were two adults and three children 15, 11 and 7 years.

Simply brilliant!

We had a truly fantastic week at this beautiful property. Lefteris and Kate are wonderful hosts and were just so so helpful - from booking a hire car for us to recommending one of the best meals we could have had! The house was very comfortable with everything we needed; the pool was heavenly and the location stunning. Being able to walk down a short track to the beach was also amazing - where we went paddle boarding, swimming in the crystal clear sea, and ate out at a different restaurant every night. I can't recommend this villa enough!

Absolutely fabulous!

Villa Gaia is a delightful villa set amongst olive groves overlooking Rouda Beach. A beautiful unspoilt area. We were a family of seven with 3 children aged 10, 9 & 7. The pool was a massive hit & all of us had great fun in the pool. There were lots of outdoor seating areas in sun & shade & the garden was kept beautiful. Also a real hit was the outdoor tennis table where we also had lots of fun & competitions. Lefkada is a beautiful island & the position of the villa was perfect for us. A couple of very nice restaurants & handful of tavernas at Rouda Bay & a small but lovely quiet beach. Definitely 5 stars all round. Thank you Lefteris, Kate & Zois for all your help & assistance. We would love to return.

AMAZING

We stayed in Villa Gaia for 10 days for a nice family holiday (kids 4 and 7). This house exceeded all our expectations. It really has it all. The pictures actually don't do it justice. Every little detail is taken care of. It's is set in a very stunning private location on a hill overlooking the beach and ocean with the nearest house a couple 100 meters away. The garden is so inviting to stay in, the pool is great and there are plenty beds and chairs to relax in and patio area is fantastic for BBQs and dinners. The house is luxurious and spacey and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. You could go nuts with cooking here. All is there, pots, pans, all sorts of cubs and glasses, even a complete picknick set including a coolerbag and icepacks. There are plenty of games and a table tennis table which the girls enjoyed a lot. The house is cleaned immaculately twice a week by the loveliest ladies. Kate and Lefteris are the most hospitable caring and friendly hosts. From the outset the communication was excellent. They could not have been more helpful in attending to our needs, from arranging a rental car to meeting us upon arrival late in the evening to show us around the villa and providing us with a welcome food parcel. They truly care, which really adds to the holiday experience. Thank you Lefteris and Kate for an amazing holiday. We would definitely like to come back some day! I would recomend this villa to everyone who seek a luxurious stay, a silent house among olive trees, and the sea near your stay! Thank you Lefteris and Kate for such a great villa
