Spectacular Lefkada Location. Exceptional privacy, comfort & charm
Total privacy and the most incredible location with views described by a recent guest as 'absolutely mind-blowing in their beauty’.
The Sunrise Villa Duo is a unique villa pairing, comprising two beautiful, separate villas on adjoining plots. The Sunrise Villa has four bedrooms and the Sunrise Lodge provides two bedrooms. Each property has its own pool. Ideal for larger groups of holidaymakers or two families holidaying together yet still wishing to retain a degree of independence.
This privileged natural setting offers seclusion and privacy with spectacular sea & mountain views. Finding the right words to accurately convey the (genuinely) breathtaking impact of this location is surprisingly difficult.
On a Greek island as spectacularly unspoilt as Lefkada, it’s not uncommon to find villas in 'beautiful settings with impressive views' however this particular location brings an altogether new meaning to that particular description. This is a superbly dramatic elevated setting above the beautiful Lefkada village of Poros yet within easy reach of Mikros Gialos bay. Spectacular uninterrupted sea and mountain views. Two pools and pool terraces overlooking the sea, Meganissi island, Skorpios island & mainland Greece. .

• Two pools, each with easy entry steps and extensive terrace areas.
• 12m x 5m pool (Sunrise Villa). 10m x 4m pool (Sunrise Lodge).
• Five ensuite bedrooms & sixth bedroom is conveniently next to family bathroom
• Master bedroom with large private terrace (with dramatic sea views)
• Five bedrooms with doors leading to terrace or garden areas (sixth bedroom with dual aspect windows and sea views)
• Fully air conditioned including lounge areas
• both properties with large garden areas and built-in BBQ’s

• Good drains. No more leaving toilet paper in waste bins!

Having holidayed here ourselves, the adjectives we’d use most would be ‘charming’ and 'comfortable'. This is extremely well designed and exquisitely comfortable accommodation finished to a high standard and set in the most beautiful, tranquil location. Throughout our stay we never once lost the feeling of being somewhere very special. It really did feel as if we were in a beautiful, comfortable, tranquil world of our own. It's the mix of superb ‘hilltop retreat’ setting, the uncomplicated yet superbly effective design and the literally stunning views which combine to make this very special. It was great to have such a privileged, private setting yet still be within easy reach of the beach and some exceptional tavernas.
In such a tranquil AND PRIVATE setting often, all that can be heard are distant goat bells or the cries of eagles & hawks surfing thermal air currents over the Lefkada / Meganisi channel below. Bedrooms & lounges leading to terraces with fabulous sea or mountain views. Extensive terraces & natural gardens. A privileged ‘retreat’ yet easy access to Poros village/Mikros Gialos beach & other beaches including Sivota, Vassiliki, Vlicho, Nidri. Kathisma & Porto Katsiki. On arrival, most guests are genuinely stunned by the location and views - their usual response is something along the lines of: "Wow, the photos we’d seen pre-booking gave us some idea of what to expect but they simply do not do this justice". Those views are in both directions, east and west and provide dramatic sunrise and sunset viewings. In addition to the breathtaking sea views you can enjoy a stroll through the gardens to watch the sunset below Poros village.
The houses are approximately thirty metres apart with their own extensive gardens. Both properties have the most spectacular views. These villas deliver a rare combination of comfort , space, privacy and independence. Although there are two pools, it’s usually the poolside terrace of the Sunrise Villa which becomes the focal point for poolside relaxation and outdoor dining. And for those who might appreciate an occasional break away from the main group, they can relax by the beautiful pool of Sunrise Lodge with its large sun terrace and absolutely spectacular sea views.
The rooms have been designed to maximise space and light with windows/ doors which enable guests to take full advantage of the surrounding views. Strong colours have been used throughout and the comfortable, modern furniture is of natural materials. Even the terrace furniture is high quality and comfortable. NOTE: Although not pictured, there are large American style fridge freezers installed in the kitchen of each house.
There are extensive grounds with delightful herb gardens (lit at night) as well as fig, olive and plum tree groves bordered by natural stone walls and paths. Spacious pool terraces complemented by large areas of shaded terrace.

• Guests comment regularly on the strong sense of 'escapism' and ‘connection with nature’ which they feel in this location as a result of the dramatic, far reaching landscapes, the natural gardens (with local herbs) and the wildlife including eagles and hawks (gliding on thermals high above the sea below) as well as tortoises and goats. You may occasionally hear goat bells tinkling in the distance.
• Watching the myriad yachts below gliding silently through calm waters enhances that sense of relaxation and tranquillity.

In common with most of the more prestigious properties on the Island (those providing a sense of ‘escape’ and set in the more dramatic locations) the villa is approached via an unmade, although perfectly drive-able access road leading up the hill from Poros village to the driveway of the villa. From the access road there are dramatic views to the valley below and inland mountains beyond.

“This was utopia for us”
“The pictures do not do justice ... the views are mind blowing in their beauty”.
“My only complaint is that having taken three books on holiday I didn’t even finish one of them as I was just totally absorbed in the spectacular location and views.”
“It’s only on arrival, when stepping out onto the terraces for the first time that you are hit (strongly) by an almost overwhelming sense of awe. It is quite simply ‘another world’ and yet this ‘other world’ is only a short drive to the absolutely breathtaking bay of Mikros Gialos”
