Spacious outside lounge with seating for 10, perfect for afternoon reading or snoozing, or pre or post dinner drinks.
A beautifully appointed, air-conditioned, open-plan lounge with carefully selected modern and antique furnishings. Fireplace with log-burner. 42” flat screen TV/DVD and high-quality bluetooth music speakers.
Fully equipped, granite-topped, kitchen including American-style fridge-freezer, integrated oven/hob/microwave, dishwasher, bean-to-cup espresso machine.

The surrounding large (>100m2) terrace has 6 loungers, 2 supersized beanbags & a shaded wooden pergola with exterior lounge furniture.
Poolside shower room and toilet.
A six seater hot tub, also with amazing views.
IN THE GROUNDS …
The villa is nestled in the forest on the hillside above the seafront town of Nidri offering a uniquely private location, complete tranquility and the breathtaking panoramic view across numerous Ionian islands to the Greek mainland.
Enter through remote-operated gates onto a spacious drive accommodating multiple cars.
The villa is mobility friendly with wide rooms, a ground floor bedroom and a path down to the pool terrace.
The gardens change with the seasons but incorporate wild-flowers, olive & citrus trees and are screened by mature pines & cypress.
EXPERIENCE A LUXURY PRIVATE VILLA ON LEFKADA
Tucked away in the forest above Nidri harbour we have created a wonderful luxury, private retreat with extraordinary panoramic views. Magnificent, star gazing is possible given the near total absence of light pollution. Our investment in a 22-panel solar array means we produce all our own electricity making your luxury air-conditioned stay both luxurious and carbon-neutral.
On arrival you'll find a selection of drinks and two bottles of good wine to ensure you’re free to relax immediately.
Comfortable beds and luxury linens.
Luxurious bathrooms and showers supported by a whole-house pump & softened water.
High class furnishings that blend the modern with selected antiques and personally curated artwork from around the world create a unique feel to each room – far away from identikit hotels or IKEA furnished villas.
Books and games, DVDs, Bluetooth/Airplay speakers, a full TV service including international channels, WiFi access throughout the house and on the pool terrace.
Amenities to cook as little or as much as you want in a fully equipped kitchen, or on a large BBQ and using a sizeable herb garden.
THINGS TO DO ON LEFKADA

“From ship to shore”
For 16 years Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey was our UK home where our children Abby and Alasdair grew up. We pursued our careers, Alan in the Automotive Industry and Jo in Financial Services. In 2011 we relocated to Dubai for both work and pleasure and took the opportunity to reshape our set up which included the sale of our UK home and the build of Villa Gabriella.
It all started though in 2002 when we headed to Nidri to learn to sail with Abby & Alasdair in tow and very young. Hooked on both sailing and the beauty of the Ionian islands in Spring 2003 we sailed our own yacht, Gabriella, from Isola to Nidri.
From summer 2003 until 2010 the highlight of each summer was two weeks afloat in the Ionian. Totally captivated by the islands and their way of life, in 2007 we’d driven up to the land on which Villa Gabriella now stands. One single look at the view was enough to seal the deal.
Gabriella, the yacht, was sold in 2010 and the money recycled into the foundations of the villa. From 2010 to 2014 Villa Gabriella was a labour of love. Managed by Steve, long-time Nidri resident and our artistically-inclined project manager, over four years the plot was shaped to allow Villa Gabriella to nestle amongst the trees with minimal disruption to the forest, whilst maximising the very best aspects of a view to die for.

Why they chose this property
Uniquely private & secluded. Truly breathtaking views. Very luxurious finish, furnishings and linens. Infinity pool (heated in low season), hot tub, outside lounge. Up to 10 adults and 2 children (up to 11).
What makes this property unique
An extraordinary location and view which enjoys privacy and peace and quiet but is still very close to the busy town of Nidri. You simply never get bored of the outlook and surroundings even if the weather is not that great as the view simply changes. The bird song in the early morning and evening is also wonderful.
