Our first visit to Lefkada this summer and I found it’s best kept secret - Art Blue Villas. A selection of 6 villas positioned in quiet, well kept olive grove terraces, hidden from each other but with the most exceptional West facing views. As a family of 4 we stayed in Aledora, which like all the villas is tastefully decorated with a contemporary, beach house feel to the architecture and outdoor spaces. Great consideration and attention to detail to all the sleeping, dining and cooking spaces, compact but well equipped with good quality equipment. Little extras were there on arrival, such as fresh fruit or local delicacies and the wonderful Natasa was soon back with home made lemonde and a cold beer! Each day she replenished the fresh mint and cucumber water jug in the fridge. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully furnished with sun loungers, a pool bed and a lovely shaded dining area. Small details such as ambient outdoor and indoor lighting together with fabulous large candle lanterns and simple outdoor decor all add to the feeling of something unique and understatedly special. The West facing position ensures views to rival any venue, with incredible sunsets enjoyed on the terrace or in the pool; being high up there was often a slight breeze which made the warm evenings more comfortable. Breakfasts - I am not sure they can be summed up so simply! The menu was extensive and the majority was home made and assembled on the spot, all delivered by Dina and Natasa or team in lovely wicker baskets and ice buckets. You choose the night before and decide on a time (which goes up to late morning so no need to get up too early!). Cleaning was done daily if required and small amounts of washing are also done and returned the same day. The pool was cleaned early every morning - very quietly! Dina gave us restaurant recommendations and a fantastic taxi contact Nikos, who if not available found a replacement. The location is up a very steep winding road, so a car or taxi is needed. The local village has a good array of simple stores, coffee shop and restaurants, one of which did collection takeaway. Lefkada town is a short drive away. Finally the team, Natasa, Dina etc were exceptional, they couldn't do enough to ensure our holiday was the perfect. Thank you all so much, it was truly wonderful and we will definitely be back. Kate & Gerry & family. Ps. next time I will ask about the running routes in the olive groves rather than the road!
