About the property
Inside
accommodation at Pleione is spread over a main house and a guesthouse, both of which are on one level. The design centres around four simple elements: clean, angular lines, pristine white walls inside and out, soothing grey floors that flow throughout, and banks of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.The main house is divided into two parts. The first is home to a good-sized, luminous communal space with a contemporary kitchen, a central dining table and a comfortable living area with a large L-shaped sofa. Walls of sliding glass doors bring in the views over the pool and Sivota Bay while at the same time providing effortless access to the terraces.
Behind the kitchen, a bright, window-flanked corridor provides access to the second part of the main house, which is home to three bedrooms, a double and two double-twins. Each one has its own en-suite shower room (the double's also has a tub) and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors offering sea views and access to the terraces. The first two bedrooms are divided by and access a little terrace niche, home to an olive tree and an extension of the pool.
The guesthouse is situated a few metres up the hill to one side of the main house and is rendered private by a dividing wall built from local stone. Accessed from its own terrace, it comprises an open-plan living area with dining table and kitchen corner and a lovely sea-view bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Outside
al fresco pleasures at Pleione revolve around the remarkable 22m-long, L-shaped infinity pool, part of which cuts across the terrace and appears to run into the house. In this section there is a little sunbathing island and a Jacuzzi corner. The sea-view terrace that hosts the pool runs along the entire façade of the main house.To one end of the pool is a well-furnished sitting area looking out to sea, while to the other is a covered lounge, practically an extension of the indoors, and a large dining table served by an in-built barbecue kitchen.
The guesthouse has its own panoramic sea-view terrace, which includes a refreshing plunge pool with swimming pump and cascade.
Last but not least, guests have use of a shared 10m-long jetty, located below the property and benefitting from private water and shore-power facilities
About the Area
Pleione is located on the bay of Sivota in the southeast of Lefkada. The village and harbour of Sivota, with its popular waterfront tavernas, bars and cafés, its shops, and its boat hire options, is an easy stroll away (about 500m).
Apart from the direct sea access at the bottom of the drive, Pleione is conveniently close to a good selection of beaches, including those at Afteli, Ammousa, Vassiliki and Mikros Gialos.
Exploring the island of Lefkada, which is 35km long and 15km wide, is relatively easy in a week (if you can pull yourselves away from the views and pool of the villa!) and offers a great deal to see and do. The azure, transparent waters of the Ionian Sea are a real attraction and the varied coastline includes a host of golden sandy beaches and the dramatic white cliffs Cape Lefkatas on the southern tip. The wooded mountains of the interior, some of which rise to over 1,100m, offer excellent walking, some truly beautiful scenery and a scattering of unspoilt villages where the way of life remains profoundly connected to the island's ancient traditions and customs. The island's capital, Lefkada Town, is a buzzing centre with plenty of seafront tavernas and bars, a good selection of shops, and a busy marina.
At its northern point Lefkada is connected to mainland Greece by a causeway and, via frequent ferry services from the port of Nidri, to several of the other islands of the Ionian archipelago (including nearby Meganissi), making it eminently possible to explore further afield.
Considerations
Pleione features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a small drop from the infinity edge so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools. You may also wish to know that the pool has a minimum depth of 1.6m.
Please note that there is no real shallow end in the pool, whose minimum depth is 2m.
Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.
Although this property is located within walking distance of some shops and restaurants, we strongly recommend that you hire a car.
The driveway up to Pleione is short but steep, so we recommend you hire a car with decent power. There is room to park maximum two cars.
Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist.
Guest Reviews
Pleione is an amazing villa in a great location. What stood out were the views, the overall quality of the villa, and the pool. We would return.
Jane Ashworth, visited September 2026
Pleione is one of the best island villas we have stayed in on the Med. Particular highlights are the truly incredible infinity pool from where we happily cooled off watching boats come and go, sundowners on the terrace and dinner in the well-designed outdoor kitchen and eating area. With its own pontoon, if you have access to a boat, it's also the perfect spot to explore secluded bays and casual lunchtime restaurants on nearby islands.

Pleione is in a great location to capture the views of the port, the sunshine and within a short walk to a good choice of tavernas. Would we return? Yes.

Verified guest, visited August 2024
Pleione was outstanding, high quality, and the staff were great. We would definitely like to return. What stood out for us was the location and the view into the bay and marina, the outside eating area, and in particular the huge and deep infinity pool.

Amazing villa, the pictures don't do it justice!! Very close to town of Sivota (5 mins walk). Great service from start to finish.
Sarah Pawson, visited August 2023
Extraordinary villa, with hands down the best pool in Sivota. Very short walk to the quay. Lovely to have direct access to the water via the pontoon.
