Description Majesty & Marble: Lefkada

Standing on top of a hill on the southern coastline of Lefkas, this stone villa not only has a beautiful view of the dazzling Ionian Sea, but the neighbouring islands of Ithaca and Kefalonia can also be spotted.

It's a truly idyllic backdrop against which guests can embrace the alfresco way of life, whether that's paddling about in the swimming pool, soaking up the sunshine while reading on a lounger or dining under the pergola. There's a stone barbecue to help make the last of these a reality, too.

When you eventually head into the home, you'll find an interior that adds a modern spin to the traditional whitewashed design synonymous with Greek islands. Two living rooms provide plenty of space in which to relax, while the Jacuzzi bathtub in one of the ensuites is another superb option.

We're guessing you didn't come all the way to Greece not to visit the seaside and Vasiliki beach, plus a small selection of restaurants and bars, is only ten minutes away in the car. There's another smaller sandy spot that can be reached by walking forty-five minutes from the home, as well.

Home truths:
*There's space to park on the premises
*Weekly linen changes, a welcome basket and concierge service are included in the price
*The home is spread over two floors, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
