Inside

accommodation at Villa Galinia is laid out over two floors.

The main entrance leads in to a welcoming hallway that links the two wings of the ground floor.

Turning left we come to a bright, panoramic open-concept space that is the sociable hub of the home. Its smooth, sandy floors, its white-painted walls and ceilings, and its fully extendable sliding glass doors provide a blueprint for the property's overall design aesthetics.

Sitting in front of the wall of sliding glass doors is a large, curvaceously styled, L-shaped contemporary sofa. It's perfectly placed to take in the enchanting views out over the pool, Vlicho Bay, the east coast of Lefkada, and the and the island of Skorpios rising from the azure Ionian Sea. To the right of the sofa is a fireplace and a wall-mounted TV.

Behind the sofa, meanwhile, is a large dining table and a well-equipped kitchen wall with bronzed wooden cabinetry and a central area of shelving. A door in the kitchen opens outside onto the shaded dining terrace.

Heading back past the main entrance we come to a flight of stairs leading up to the first floor, a guest WC and the first three bedrooms,:

• a double with sea views, access to the terrace running along the front of the house, and a semi-open en-suite shower room with a separate WC
• a double-twin with sea views, access to the terrace running along the front of the house, and a walk-through en-suite shower room with double sinks and a separate WC,
• a double-twin with garden access and a semi-open en-suite shower room with separate WC

The first floor is home to a little kitchen corner and two more bedrooms, all accessed from a corridor:

• a double-twin with sea views, access to a shared terrace, and a walk-through en-suite shower room with double sinks and a separate WC
• a double-twin with sea views, access to a shared terrace, and a semi-open en-suite shower room with a separate WC

Outside

the al fresco areas at Villa Galinia offer numerous options for convivial gatherings, pampering moments and all-out relaxation.

It is perhaps the omnipresent, 180-degree vistas that take top billing. Incorporating Lefkada's emerald wooded hills, Vlicho Bay, the island of Skorpios, and the sparkling blue waters of the Ionian Sea, they are truly remarkable.

The infinity pool too is a thing of wonder. Running along the sea-facing side of the house, it extends around two sides of the property and even makes an incursion into a recessed area between the two wings of the ground floor. These various sections, each of which has an exotic strelitzia plant at the end, act both as water features and shallow lagoons where one can cool off in style. The pool also incorporates a sunken sitting area, perfect for a quiet morning coffee or a sociable aperitif as the sun sets.

The living area and two of the ground-floor bedrooms open out onto a terrace that runs along the façade of the house and flanks the pool. Stepping stones link this to the main al fresco area, located to one side of the house. Here, also accessed from the kitchen, is a secluded, well-shaded al fresco dining area with a large table seating 12 and a barbecue area equipped with a sink and workspace.

The al fresco dining area gives way to an expanse of decking, sun loungers and umbrellas next to the main body of the pool. Just below this is a sitting area with a collection of well-cushioned armchairs looking out at the views.

As if all this weren't enough, Villa Galinia has one more ace up its sleeve: accessed from the end of the corridor on the first floor is a stunning roof terrace, from where the views are at their most magnificent. Furnished for lounging and equipped with an uber-panoramic hydromassage tub, it's a great spot in which to unwind, especially as the stars appear in the night sky.

Due to the nature of the property, which includes terraces, low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

Villa Galinia 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 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.
