Reduced Occupancy

During the shoulder seasons, Rolima has reduced prices for groups of up to 4 that only need up to 2 bedrooms. Two of the four bedrooms will be closed, but the villa's amenities and its grounds will remain at the complete disposal of guests.

Inside

accommodation at Rolima is laid out over two floors.

The ground floor has an elegant symmetry about it, with a spacious, beautifully finished, open-plan communal area at the centre and one bedroom on either side.

The communal hub is a perfect representation of the property’s aesthetics and sets the tone for the rest of the house. Three giant, floor-to-ceiling glass doors open out onto the main terrace and bring in the fabulous views of the Ionian Sea and southernmost tip of Lefkada; pale sandy floors and pristine white walls and ceilings accentuate the serene luminosity; exposed stone walls root the property in its terroir; and wicker and reed lampshades add a dash of summery vitality.

To the right is a comfy L-shaped sofa and a TV, while to the centre is a wooden dining table and six stylish wooden chairs. The dining table connects with the kitchen’s central island and complements the kitchen’s bespoke, pale wood cabinetry and drawers. A light-well with a glass door to the rear of the communal space allows for gentle breezes to run through the ground floor.

Passing a guest loo, a corridor behind the kitchen leads to the first bedroom, which is a light-filled double with an en-suite shower room, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, sea views and terrace access.

The second bedroom on the ground floor, also a double, is accessed from near the living area. It is practically a mirror-image of the first and comes with all the same features.

Stairs lead from near the second ground-floor bedroom up to the first floor, which is home to another lightwell with a glass door, and the final two bedrooms, a pair of doubles with en-suite shower rooms, stunning views, and access to a large, shared terrace.

Outside

al fresco life at Rolima revolves around a large sea-view terrace that runs along the front the property. The communal area and the two ground-floor bedrooms flow out seamlessly onto this space, which has been designed and furnished to provide everything you might need for living outdoors. There’s a shaded dining area, tropical-style sunshades that echo the wicker and reed lampshades inside, quality loungers, and an infinity pool that is irresistible.

To the far end of the pool, meanwhile, is a superb, stone-built kitchen under a shady pergola. Equipped with a large built-in barbecue, worktops and a sink, this is where you may well end up preparing those long dinners. The tavernas of Vassiliki are close by, but with Miriam’s setting and its beguiling views, you’ll probably opt to stay in most nights.

Finally, the two bedrooms on the upper floor open out onto a large terrace with both shady and sun-kissed areas and a hot tub. The views from here, which pan out across the blue sea to the northern tips of Ithaca and Kefalonia, are remarkable. And if you have yoga enthusiasts in your group, this is the terrace for them.

Road noise is audible from the property's grounds. The volume may rise or fall depending on climactic conditions such as wind direction.

Rolima features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side 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.

Please note that after the steps, the depth of the pool is 1.7m.

The heated hydromassage pool on the upper terrace measures 3.5x2.5m and has a depth of 1m.

Car hire is essential for this villa, as local taxis cannot be pre-booked and availability cannot be guaranteed.

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.
