About this property

Elegant villa with beautiful view and private pool, 100 m from the beach



Villa Gaia is a modern villa with all the comfort and convenience we expect of a contemporary design, coupled with a delightful setting and the subtly welcoming atmosphere of a well loved home.

Contemporary style and comfort, combined with chic simplicity and cool spaciousness make Villa Gaia a wonderful choice for a completely relaxing holiday.

A villa with a very individual imprint, tucked into one of the pretty olive groves that cover the hillsides overlooking Mikros Gialos, it gives an amazingly welcoming first impression...

Great stay
Wonderful holiday! Villa was spotless with all the amenities you would require. Beautiful location, it felt remote but at the same time very close to various restaurants, shops and beach. Beach can be accessed via steps from property. Beach was great, perfect for children and lots of available places to eat. Car is definitely recommended. Driving is easy and allows you to explore the beautiful island. Could not fault the hosts. Lefteris and his family were extremely helpful; informative and generous. Would definitely recommend. Lots of space in the villa so perfect for a family or two. We would definitely stay again if we return to Lefkada.

Wonderful villa
We absolutely loved the villa, it had everything we needed. Perfect for our family of 7. The kids spent so much time in the pool and loved the freedom to come and go to the beach on their own. Would highly recommend the villa. Thank you Lefteris and Kate!

Staying at Viila Gaia
We recently spent a week in the beautiful island of Lefkada, staying at Villa Gaia in the south of island in small village on the coast called Mikros Gialos. The villa is amazing, pictures just don't do it justice. Very very clean and modern inside with everything you need. The villa is very well equipped. The best part is outside though. There are terraces and balconies outside every bedroom with amazing views of the mountain and beach. Pool area is immaculate and extremely comfortable. Make sure you hire a car though as the villa is quite remote and most families would want to be able to drive to explore the stunning beaches around d the island. I can't recommend Lefkada and this villa enough though. Very happy customers!! :)

Sehr komfortables Haus in traumhaft ruhiger Lage
Schon im Vorfeld war die Kommunikation mit Lefteris sehr freundlich, schnell und genau. Das Haus ist sehr schön und modern (gute Betten!) mit viel Platz für bis zu 6 Personen. Wir waren zu viert und unsere Kinder haben ihre Zimmer mit jeweils eigenem Bad sehr genossen. Der Pool ist sehr schön und tief genug (1.80), um sicher hinein zu springen. In der gut ausgestatteten Küche haben wir nichts vermisst. Der Garten ist so groß, dass unsere bewegungsfreudigen Kinder sich gut austoben konnten. Das besondere: Haus und Garten bieten jede Menge tolle Plätze zum Relaxen, mit wunderbaren Aussichten auf Berge und Meer. Die Ruhe empfanden wir als äußerst erholsam. Der Pfad zum Kiesstrand ist kurz, bergab geht man keine 5 Minuten. Einzige kleine Schwäche: der Fahrweg vom Ort/Strand zum Haus ist mit einem normalen Auto sehr rumpelig und kein Vergnügen.

The villa is superb in every way. Clean, very well equipped, spacious, elegant yet very comfortable and homely. The grounds and pool are also lovely. Amazing views from the villa and a very easy short walk down to the beach and village. Lovely unspoilt friendly village and great tavernas. Cannot fault this villa in any way.

The villa and location were excellent . Lefteris was there to greet us and show us around. He booked us into the best restaurant for dinner and very generously bought the wine! Thank you Lefteris.

Villa Gaia
We have just had a fantastic week at Villa Gaia. Lefteris was super helpful, answering all our questions and recommending car hire, tavernas and boat hire for us. The location of the villa couldn't be better - a very short walk down a small path to the beach where there are plenty of fantastic tavernas for breakfast, lunch and dinner, right on the beach with breathtaking views. Quite a few little minimarkets too which makes life very easy. So much to do right on your doorstep:- hire canoes/paddle boards/motor boats. So many other little beaches and bays to visit by boat from the island. The villa itself had a beautiful pool with a fantastic view from the villa and garden. All the rooms are a good size with efficient airconditioning. All in all, a really amazing place to stay and we would all definitely love to come again and would stay here for sure! We were two adults and three children 15, 11 and 7 years.

Simply brilliant!
We had a truly fantastic week at this beautiful property. Lefteris and Kate are wonderful hosts and were just so so helpful - from booking a hire car for us to recommending one of the best meals we could have had! The house was very comfortable with everything we needed; the pool was heavenly and the location stunning. Being able to walk down a short track to the beach was also amazing - where we went paddle boarding, swimming in the crystal clear sea, and ate out at a different restaurant every night. I can't recommend this villa enough!

Absolutely fabulous!
Villa Gaia is a delightful villa set amongst olive groves overlooking Rouda Beach. A beautiful unspoilt area. We were a family of seven with 3 children aged 10, 9 & 7. The pool was a massive hit & all of us had great fun in the pool. There were lots of outdoor seating areas in sun & shade & the garden was kept beautiful. Also a real hit was the outdoor tennis table where we also had lots of fun & competitions. Lefkada is a beautiful island & the position of the villa was perfect for us. A couple of very nice restaurants & handful of tavernas at Rouda Bay & a small but lovely quiet beach. Definitely 5 stars all round. Thank you Lefteris, Kate & Zois for all your help & assistance. We would love to return.

Amazing
We stayed in Villa Gaia for 10 days for a nice family holiday (kids 4 and 7). This house exceeded all our expectations. It really has it all. The pictures actually don't do it justice. Every little detail is taken care of. It's is set in a very stunning private location on a hill overlooking the beach and ocean with the nearest house a couple 100 meters away. The garden is so inviting to stay in, the pool is great and there are plenty beds and chairs to relax in and patio area is fantastic for BBQs and dinners. The house is luxurious and spacey and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. You could go nuts with cooking here. All is there, pots, pans, all sorts of cubs and glasses, even a complete picknick set including a coolerbag and icepacks. There are plenty of games and a table tennis table which the girls enjoyed a lot. The house is cleaned immaculately twice a week by the loveliest ladies. Kate and Lefteris are the most hospitable caring and friendly hosts. From the outset the communication was excellent. They could not have been more helpful in attending to our needs, from arranging a rental car to meeting us upon arrival late in the evening to show us around the villa and providing us with a welcome food parcel. They truly care, which really adds to the holiday experience. Thank you Lefteris and Kate for an amazing holiday. We would definitely like to come back some day!

Fantastic Villa with beautiful view
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Villa Gaia to 100%! All rooms are well equipped and the pool is also fantastic. We loved the great view on Mikros Gialis Beach and the privacy we had at the villa. Thanks again to Zeus and Lefteris for the great contact and communication and it’s sure that we will book villa Gaia again when we come back to Lefkada. Kind regards Melpomeni

Fabulous villa! Wonderful holiday!
We stayed in this gorgeous villa for 2 weeks which was perfect in every respect. From the outset the communication with the owners Kate and Lefteris was excellent. They were always very prompt in replying to our queries about their villa and the locality. They could not have been more helpful in attending to our needs ( they even supplied a table tennis table when we said that it was one of our favourite pastimes on holiday!!). They arranged all the taxis to and from the airport and we were met and shown around the villa on arrival with a lovely welcome food parcel. The villa had everything we could have wanted and was clean and in perfect working order. The pool was lovely and the gardens were secluded and peaceful. The villa is exceptionally private and not overlooked at all, which was just what we wanted. The village was about a 5-6 minute walk down a fairly steep track ( not suitable for heels!), but was fine for us in our flip-flops or trainers. The local restaurants were welcoming and we had some delicious meals with beautiful views of the sea. We were a party of six, my husband and myself and our two daughters in the 20's with their partners and we all had a fabulous holiday. We would 100% recommend this villa and we hope to return soon.

Beautiful villa in perfect location
From the moment we booked the villa, the owners were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. They arranged airport transfers for us and even transport to our next destination and their brother Zois was on hand to help us with luggage and anything else we needed.The villa is set in a stunning, private location overlooking the bay which is beautiful and is only a few minutes walk down to the beach, takes a bit longer walking back after eating lots of food and walking uphill though! The villa is really well equipped - we travelled with a 6, 7 and two 15 year olds and it was perfect for all our needs with lots of outside space, plenty of games for entertaining, and spacious inside too. The villa was modern and immaculatey clean . We can't recommend this villa and it's location enough- we didn't have a car which wasn't an issue as we chilled out for the whole week, the restaurants and mini markets are all within a few minutes on the bay and it was all we needed, perfect!

Fantastic place, nice location, great villa
Went with a family of four, 3 and 6 year old children. Kind owners and caretakers of the house, fantastic quiet location, but not too far from the sea (4mins walk), mini supermarket (8mins walk) and several restaurants, all in walking distance (also with small children). Villa well equipped with everything you need. And the pool, really nice refreshment several times a day. - we had a great holiday!

If you are looking at this villa......book it now!
We have stayed twice in this amazing villa, in 2015 and 2016. First of all the Island is beautiful and everyone is so friendly. It is easy to drive to from the airport and you are always met by the lovely Zois who takes you up to the villa, explains everything and helps you settle in. Zois is always available if you have any queries. The villa is everything it promises and more, fantastic views, beautiful inside and outside. It has every facility you need/want and is so close to the beach and small local shop and bakery. There are some wonderful tavernas in the area serving reasonably priced and beautiful meals. The owners make the booking process very easy and are always happy to help you with car hire if required. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough, we will be returning.

Fantastic family holiday, would recommend to all!!
Where do I start! There's no better place to stay on the idyllic island of Lefkada than this beautiful holiday home. The villa itself is clean, well maintained and very spacious with wonderful views of the beach and clear blue sea. My children loved playing in the pool and with a supermarket a short drive away we loved having family BBQ's whilst watching the sun set over the mountains. The communication from Kate and Lefteris (Owners) was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate to book again in the future and hoping to stay again this year.

Perfect Hideaway
We are only a couple and already travelled a lot of times to different destinations. Most times we rent houses as we really like to be on our own. This villa is by far the best we ever rented and sooooo clean (also the fact that there is a cleaning service every 3-4 days is unusual - and a very good idea!). So after all we had perfect holidays at Villa Gaia - everything is exactly as described - even better! It´s a really great and also very quiet location, as there are no other houses around. OK - the road (gravel) is a bit tricky but you get used to it very quick ;-) Phantastic views makes you feel like paradise. We rented a scooter (Thanks to Zois for the contact!) and explored the hole island with it - so we really saw a lot - and at the end of the day we realized that "our" villa and location is really at the top end of possibilities! We also liked the nice restaurants within walking distance and the friendly people and waiters. So our advice: Don´t read longer -> BOOOOK :-) Many greetings to Kate - Lefteris and Zois for your always very quick, nice and helpful contact and giving us the chance to spent such great days in your property!

Elegant villa, unique location and fabulous views
We were delighted that the villa is as lovely as the photos and owners descriptions. We usually ask ourselves at the end of our stay, would we come to this location again and would we stay in the same place. We said yes to both these questions at the end of our 1st day. If you want a private location, with a decent selection of restaurants but something thats authentic and not commercial, stay here. We will be staying again, more than once.
