Atokos Cottage

A rare find and a very romantic retreat, this remarkable villa in Lefkada is a perfect place just for two – private, peaceful and supremely stylish, with picture perfect panoramas. A stone-built cottage in traditional Ionian island style, the chic interiors of this enchanting villa belie its unassuming outline. Spacious rooms are adorned with black and white furnishings on pale cream floors, creating a calming atmosphere of cool, contemporary comfort. The ground floor is almost entirely open-plan, with a smart kitchen/dining/sitting room with double doors on to the pool terrace and those beautiful views. A spiral staircase leads to the large bedroom with bed with the finest linens, occupying the lower ground floor. Outdoors, there are loungers by the pool, an al fresco dining terrace and a built-in barbecue. While the villa is ideal for two, a sofa bed in the living room could sleep another couple if required. Atokos Cottage is on the same estate as the larger Atokos House and, while it is independent and secluded, the two could be rented together for larger parties of friends. The scenic harbour of Sivota is a 4km drive away, with a beach, fresh fish tavernas, shops and cafes. A prestigious winery is also within easy reach.
