The outdoor space is truly amazing. You have your own promontory with your house perched on the top of an olive clad hill with 360 degree views. Shady olives surround the pool with the infinity pool facing South with views over the islands. The private quay is great for swimming/diving/kayaking etc

Beautiful property, the best management.

Location of the property is unique; stunning sea views extending to Kefalonia, Ithaki and Meganisi; direct private access to the clearest, coolest most wonderful tourqoise sea; the house could benefit from a bit of refurbishing but nevermind that; the property manager Dimitris and his assistant Klodia are doing a wonderful job; house is kept spotlessly clean, amenities of good quality and always supplied in plenty; every inquiry answered and attended to immediately; guests welcomed with a full refrigerator and more than adequate refreshments. Excellent recommendations for restaurants, boat rental, beaches, etc. Really nothing more that one can ask for.

Lovely Lefkada

The villa is in an incredible location with the best views. It had all the facilities we required to make our stay comfortable. In our Family we had 7 Adults who all found peace and quite in some part of the property if required for relaxing. We had some late communication on check-in with Rania the manager and only managed to receive the property location once we were in Sivota. This should have been all done via email prior to us arriving. Once we had made contact Rania was excellent with communication. Although the villa has all you require it is very dated especially internally. Looking back at the advert photos they don't show any of the bathrooms. Shower heads don't fit as they should, Holes in and around the shower taps. Only two bedrooms have walk in showers the others are over bath showers and we found that it was easier to use the external shower at the poolside. Hand rail at pool broken, One sun lounger leg broken, The pool had been re-painted internally and hadn't set so everyone got paint on them whenever they had a swim. The painter had got paint halfway up the tree next to the pool and dripped on the flags around the pool. They defiantly wasn't qualified painters. In a previous review 2018 it was pointed out that the property was on the cusp of being dated and I don't think the owners have taken this on board. We did have a fantastic holiday and the positives all combined outweighed the negatives. Would we stay here again it has to be a No unless updated

Response from VrboOwner on 10 July 2024
As owners of Petit paradis, thank you for choosing us for your stay in Lefkada this year, we are very happy that you had an overall good experience. We were meaning to contact you as well regarding the pool incident, as it's the first time that this happens and we were all (pool experts, managers, etc.) trying to figure out why this happened in order to fix the problem. The pool was painted last year. According to a pool expert, the extreme heat and humidity that lasted the days of your stay and the the chlore chemical balance produced this "chalk" effect in some parts of the pool. Again, we are so sorry that you experienced that. Neither the previous guests, nor the ones staying now have reported such an issue. We exist as a family run business for more than 15 years. The house certainly isn't newly built and we hope we are not misleading anyone on that. All those years, our priority is to provide to our guests a functional, calming and cosy house and to anticipate their needs. Unfortunately all gusts’t comments are not visible on the VRBO site, but along with the comment of the refurbishment that you mention, there are comments, mostly from our long returning guests, that every year we improve, enhance and upgrade the property's facilities. This year for example, it was the renovated kitchen area. The bathrooms are next on our priority list. We assure you that do our best and we speak on behalf of all of us employed at the property (we owners, the managing team, the cleaning team, etc.), to provide a safe, peaceful and functional house. We are very hands-on and detail oriented, but unfortunately sometimes, during the preparation of the property between guests, we may miss something (such as a broken wheel of a pool lounge chair or a small part of a lower tray of the pool hand rail that got off from the rail structure). This is certainly not an excuse and we always make the greatest effort possible to prepare a spotless property and to address every minor issue that may come up. Thank you again Andrew for your stay with us, we value your comments and who knows, maybe we will be crossing paths again in the near future! With our warmest regards Meliti & Lydia

Villa with amazing views and beautiful pool

We have had a lovely week with all the family. The villa is so wonderfully located on the top of a hill with a nearly 360 degree view of the bays around. The hospitality of the owners was outstanding. They had left us an extensive welcome pack full of goodies. The rooms all had a view and balcony and had comfy beds and nice linen and towels. The outside area was exceptional offering 3 different eating areas. The pool is huge and deep with a wonderful view. There was lots of shady comfy seating. It has a drivable bumpy road leading up to it but that just adds to the adventure. We would definitely recommend it.

Villa Petit Paradis really is Paradise

The location is superb, views are stunning and sufficiently off the beaten track (literally) to make you feel all on your own, yet with the charming harbour of Sivota within a few minute’s drive. Access to the property is via a potholed track passed other properties and through olive groves. Whilst not for the nervous driver, everyone else should be fine, so no need to rent a 4x4. As soon as you arrive on the property, the road to the house is fine and this splits down to the private cove. The young ladies that own the property are charming and very helpful, the plethora of provisions on arrival, gives a feeling of being genuine welcome, whilst also a good guide to the artisanal produce available on the island. You can tell that they have put a lot of thought and detail into the property and I get the impression that each letting season results in their ability to do the next project to improve the property further. What a property it is, occupying 22 hectares of headland, its own private cove, the 360 degree views are stunning interrupted only occasionally by olive trees, which conveniently provide shade to numerous outside spaces, that make this an ideal property for large gatherings of family or friends, where you can always find a quiet spot away from everyone. Internally, functionality is faultless but elements are on the cusp of being dated. The rooms are lovely, all of them leading to a balcony or outside space that provides another area to enjoy. The largest rooms are at the top and ground floor of the house and are in essence self-contained studios, with separate accesses. Both could accommodate two adults and two children if required, albeit the upstairs studio contains a small double bed. The first floor accommodates three bedrooms, two of which are perfect for a family of four, being interlinked by a shared bathroom. A large en suite double bedroom is located at the end of the corridor. The ample open plan living room and dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, from where at least three outside eating areas can be accessed. The pool area is superb and the pool itself fantastically deep, be aware if you have very little children. As for drinks, there is a seating area beautifully created with views to Ithaca and Kefalonia that it is like a new painting each day. I left the property immediately wanting to go back and I am next year. My only regret in writing this review is that it might increase demand, hence I have tried to be negative!

A wonderful vacation in a magical villa

We stayed my family and a couple of friends, in the villa for seven wonderful days. A week of pleasure, which we felt we were living in a movie. We go on vacation in villas on a regular basis for many years and I can say with certainty that this is the best vacation villa we have stayed in. The website describes the villa and what it has to offer well but it is far from what it really is. The property offers and gives much more. This property offers so much pampering, great location, relaxation, stunning views, and a wonderful view. The pool is huge and cleaned every day. It is surrounded by a large square, part of it with a shadow and part of it with a sun, and it has luxurious furniture that includes sun loungers. The large courtyard with the landscape terrace is clean and pleasant and the private beach is simply magical. The villa is clean and maintained to a high standard, well equipped and has everything it takes including pampering toiletries. The reception and warm attitude we received from Meliti and her sister Lydia were beyond anything to expect. Of course I would warmly recommend the villa to my close friends. I have no doubt that we will be back rather soon!!!

Beautiful Villa overlooking the Sea

I stayed in this wonderful villa with my family for a week in September. On arrival Meliti and Lydia greeted us with freshly made lemonade and a basket of delicious cakes, bread wine and olive oil and honey made by their family. The views over the sea were spectacular, especially from the deepest swimming pool I've ever swum in. The trek down to the private jetty was very good exercise where we jumped endlessly into the crystal clear water. I loved the sprigs of lavender and shampoo amongst other little luxuries that were laid out so beautifully in the bathrooms. Meliti and Lydia were wonderful hosts and we hope to come and stay here again one day.

It really is a paradise!

The website gives an impression of how beautiful the villa and location is, but you have to see it to believe it. The views from the terrace out over the sea are breathtaking and the pool is the biggest and best that we have experienced in any rental property. The villa is very well equipped, but you will want to spend most of your time outside. Meliti and her sister were perfect hosts and took care of us from the first enquiry we made to the day we left. The pool was cleaned daily and the grounds and the villa were well maintained. We visited Sivota on a few occassions and had good food at lunch and dinner, but our preference was to eat at the villa and enjoy the sunsets and beautiful, clear starry skies. We would definitely recommend this special place to friends and family and we hope to be back for a further visit before long.

Utter Heaven!

Our third time back to this delightful villa and I can say with complete confidence that we will definitely return before long. The villa itself is spacious, homely, clean, light and airy, welcoming and delightful. It's the moment you realise where the villa is situated that you will be lost for words. It is perched on a peninsula, overlooking the gorgeous fishing village of Sivota on one side, a large bay on the other and the islands of Kefalonia and Ithaca... among others, to the south. The gardens are large with wonderful features such as an incredible pool, outdoor shower, terraces overlooking the southern islands and its own private jetty. They've thought carefully about comfort and at every vantage point, you'll find a chair, sofa or sun bed. A great deal of care has gone into making this villa and its surroundings delightful and if you are fortunate enough to meet a member of the family, you will understand why.

Breath taking, charming, warm and sensational

Returning to Petit Paradise after a 2 year gap, still took us by surprise and we found our eyes watering as we wandered onto the expansive terrace which overlooks Kefalonia and Ithaca. Nothing really prepares you for this villa. It has to be experienced to be believed. In spite of visiting many places, I have never found such a breath taking, charming, warm and sensational house. The owners couldn't be more helpful, both in terms of preparation for our time in Greece, together with meeting us on the terrace on arrival (with a cool beer and home made lemonade) and bringing us delicious local cakes to add to the well stocked cupboards and fridge. The bedrooms are delightful, all with a wonderful view, the sitting room large and the kitchen just perfect. Our two families were more than comfortable (4 adults and 6 children). The outdoor space is really rather unbelievable. Wonderful terraces, surrounded by olive trees, all with a shady area when you've had enough of the sun. The pool is huge and gives you outstanding views to the islands south of Levkas and is surrounded by very comfortable furniture. If you've had enough of the pool, then you can head down to the private bathing area for some spectacular snorkling - or sit on a deckchair on the little quayside. I have a feeling we will be back rather soon!

Outstanding

What I can I say. Communication with the lovely ladies who own the villa was easy and they were always accommodating with every request. They supplied feather free pillows and everything we needed was there upon arrival. We arrived to refreshments laid out beautifully and a nicely stocked fridge and cupboard along with a Greek hamper of goodies, which was a nice surprise. There was even a stash of booze! Th kitchen has everything you need and more! The villa is truly spectacular, so much so that on a couple of days we didn't want to leave so that we could enjoy the pool and the stunning views, which were perfect for a spot of meditation. The villa was SPOTLESS, and I'm a bit of a clean freak! It was so clean that I slipped on the sparking floor! The villa feels homely and secluded and like a real hidden gem. My friends couldn't believe we'd found somewhere so special and were wowed when we arrived. Seeing there delighted faces was wonderful. The drive up to the villa is a good 8 - 10 minutes along an uphill bumpy road, so do ensure you have a good 4 wheel drive as this makes it much easier, but this adds to the excitement. There were 9 of us at the villa, but it felt like less as there is so much space. The pictures do not do the villa justice. The pool is bigger than it looks and is also super clean. The tree creates lovely shade. I need an excuse to go back there very soon. The views at this pace are honestly phenomenal and the highlight of the villa. We had many fun afternoons by the jetty, but I would recommend you don't drive all the way down as it can be a little tricky driving back up. (stop half way). We went down there at 6:30am and jumped into the sea to watch the sun rise, which was a real treat. You should do this! I cannot recommend this place enough. (Unless you're not a confident driver - as the drive up to the villa can be a little tiring and tricky along the uphill dirt road). I personal loved it and felt a bit like GI Jane! Overall an incredible time spent in a place that felt like home. - Caroline Koutsoudes (London)

Indeed, a little bit of paradise!

Petit Paradise was everything it was described as and more. The house was very spacious with most bedrooms having their own bathrooms en suite. The outside areas were beautiful and the pool surpassed our expectations with fantastic views and lots of shaded areas to sit and relax. The owners were incredibly helpful and generous, welcoming us with a wonderful basket of local Greek produce and thoughtful food provided in the fridge to get us started. Everywhere was very clean and well maintained. The 4 wheel drive jeep they provided for getting down to the private cove was very necessary as the tracks on the peninsular are very rough and steep! The local village of Sivota was lovely with a good choice of traditional restaurants and a very good modern bakery serving coffee and breakfasts. I would definitely recommend this property. It works very well for 2 families holidaying together. One of the twin bedded rooms has beds that are really only adequate for small children so if you have 10 adults 2 of them might be quite uncomfortable! This and the really rough roads are the only reason I have given it 4 stars as opposed to 5 stars.

Best view in Lefkas

A thoughtfully and well prepared modern house set in spacious and very private grounds, with the most incredible views on all sides!! The owners Lydia & Meliti are incredibly welcoming - and so happy to share their local knowledge where needed. They have thought of everything you might need during your stay. The swimming pool is fantastic too! Syvota, the nearest village, was our favourite and its only 5 mins drive away. It's a lovely port, which seems to be popular with the sailing crowd, with lots of good restaurants and a few grocery and souvenir shops. A big recommendation would be to spend at least one day out on a boat - we hired a 6m rib with a fabulous captain - Jerome - and had a great day visiting a cave, snorkelling, lunch at a really nice place on Meganisi, visited beaches and a lighthouse. We enjoyed our week in Lefkas very much and I hope to return one day! Very many thanks again to Lydia & Meliti for renting us their house.

A wonderful vacation

Me, my family and several close friends stayed at the villa at the beginning of September. And it was a wonderful experience. The villa is very beautiful, much more than you could imagine from the photos and the descriptions. The rooms are furnished like a luxury hotel with everything you might need. So are the bathrooms. And the most important thing, that shocked us all was the view - a 360 degree view to the sea and the two bays- that of Syvota and Micros Gialos. It cannot be described with words - a breath taking view to the sea, to the small harbours and to the islands ahead. This marvellous scene was enforced by the garden - very green, with big trees and so lovely pool - situated in a so good place, that it seems that the pool ends and the sea starts at its end. Astonishing. The owners are very hospitable, helping in everything you could ask. We really enjoyed our stay there and it is one of the places we liked most in Greece. And the villa really deserves its name - a small paradise, secluded from the crowd, letting you to relax and enjoy the stay there.

Our stay at Villa Little Paradise

This was our first visit to Greece with our family and the disparate ages of our children makes it difficult to keep everyone happy. This villa with its huge pool and plenty of outdoor space was just what we needed for the boisterous younger ones. The views are breathtaking from its fantastic position on the hillside and its proximity to Sivota was perfect for our older teenagers who sought evening entertainment. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful to us, providing advice as to where to visit. There are some amazing beaches on the west side of the island and we enjoyed renting a boat and exploring the smaller islands on the east side but we were more than happy to be at the villa, enjoying the views, in the pool or diving off the private jetty into the crystal clear sea.
