About the host
Hosted by Sophia
We came to Lefkada because we fell in love with its natural beauty, its beaches, and its unique character as an island that is also easy to reach. Connected to mainland Greece by a floating bridge, Lefkada can be accessed by car, by air, or by ferry via Igoumenitsa, making it both accessible and peaceful at the same time.
What also drew us here is the island’s atmosphere: friendly local people, a strong sense of family life, great food, and a slower rhythm that makes it easy to feel at home.
We designed and built Villa Soumela for our own use first, with careful attention to comfort, safety, and everyday practicality. This includes thoughtful details such as a covered passageway from the garage to the house, non-slip outdoor surfaces, quality marble flooring, a fully equipped kitchen, reliable high-speed internet via Starlink for stable connectivity during high season, and additional water solutions to ensure comfort during the summer months.
Most of all, we enjoy welcoming guests from different parts of the world. It is a pleasure for us to share the villa, the island, and local recommendations, and to help guests discover both the highlights and the quieter corners of Lefkada that make it so special.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because of its unique position on the hillside above Nikiana, where the view opens wide across the Ionian Sea. From here, you can see the water change colour throughout the day, from soft morning light to deep blue afternoons and glowing sunsets.
What we enjoy most is the sense of calm. Even though the villa is only a short drive from beaches, tavernas, and lively seaside towns, the setting itself is quiet and private, surrounded by nature and open sky.
It is a place where you can slow down, enjoy long breakfasts on the terrace, listen to the sounds of the island, and feel connected to the landscape rather than just passing through it. The sea is always present in the background, giving every moment a sense of space and freedom.
What makes this property unique
Villa Soumela combines three things that are rarely found together: panoramic Ionian Sea views, complete privacy, and easy access to the best of Lefkada.
Perched on a peaceful hillside above Nikiana, the villa offers uninterrupted sea views from its terraces and private pool, allowing guests to enjoy spectacular sunrises, watch sailboats crossing the bay, and unwind in complete tranquillity.
What makes Villa Soumela especially distinctive is Limonea, our private citrus orchard located just across the road. Guests are welcome to enjoy this peaceful Mediterranean space filled with lemon, orange, and mandarin trees, creating an authentic connection to Greek island life that few holiday homes can offer.
The villa is also designed for convenience, featuring a private garage with direct access to the house, three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. While the setting feels secluded and peaceful, beaches, tavernas, Nidri, and Lefkada Town are all within easy reach.
Villa Soumela is not simply a place to stay. It is a place to experience the beauty, comfort, and slower rhythm of Lefkada.
