About the property
Inside
accommodation at Galatea is spread across a main house and an externally accessed garden suite. Clean contemporary lines, angular geometrical forms, a cloud-white and soothing grey palette, and an abundance of light-giving glass endow Galatea with a minimalist architectural purity. Spacious interiors spill out onto sea-view terraces creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience and an intimate connection with the timeless olive groves that surround the property.The main entrance takes one into a generously proportioned, open-concept communal area, comprising a kitchen with long wooden work surface that morphs into a dining table, and a large L-shaped corner sofa. Banks of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors - an element that is common to all the rooms - bring in the sunlight, drink in the sea views and provide access to the terraces and pool area.
To one end of this space, a door opens into the main suite, featuring a centrally placed double bed with twin sinks behind, an en-suite bathroom and a wonderfully original shower room whose glass floor is built over the tapering extremity of the pool's crystalline waters. To the other end of the living space, a second door opens into a double-twin bedroom, complete with its own en-suite shower room, sea views and terrace access.
The garden suite is accessed via a flight of steps that lead down through the garden to a lower level. Here there is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and private terrace.
Outside
the white-grey polished concrete floors of the main house's three rooms extend outside via sliding glass doors where they are transformed into a panoramic sea-view terrace. One section of this terrace gives way to a large expanse of decking with shaded sun loungers and delimited by laminated safety glass balustrades.Where the decking ends, the infinity pool begins. Geometrically designed as a reflex-angle foil to the house's obtuse-angle form, the pool begins with a glass edge and runs parallel to the sea before bending back towards the house, where, shallowing and with a submerged sitting ledge, it narrows, finally coming to an end under the glass-bottomed shower of the master bedroom's en-suite.
To the far end of the main house is a shaded al fresco dining area and kitchen, served by a barbecue and blessed with more fabulous sea views. From near here, around 20 steps lead down through the ancient olive groves to the garden suite, which is accessed via its own furnished terrace.

About the Area
Galatea overlooks the southeast coast of Meganissi, just a few minutes' drive from Limonari beach and the little village of Katomeri, and about 5 minutes' drive from Spartochori and Vathi, this latter home to a picturesque harbour, tavernas, shops and boats to Lefkada island.
Meganissi covers just 20 square kilometres but has plenty to offer, with numerous bays and beaches to explore, sleepy white-washed villages, such as Katomeri or Spartochori, to wander around and lots of good walking paths in the centre of the island.
The two main harbours of Vathi and Spilia are great spots for dining on fish, whiling away an hour or two with a drink in hand or setting out on one of the frequent ferries to visit other islands in the Ionian archipelago.
Considerations
You might like to know that Galatea's pool has a single depth of 1.5m (apart from the submerged sitting section)
Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.
Cats may be seen in the villa grounds. However, they will not enter the house unless encouraged to do so. We ask guests not to feed them.
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.

If we had to sum up our experience at Galatea in a few words... Top of the world!
Verified guest, visited August 2025
Galatea is a beautiful villa in a dream location. It couldn’t have been better. What stood out was the location and the views from all parts of the house. The external areas and the pool are just stunning and the changing light is amazing - dawn, sunset, moonlight. And it's so peaceful. The house is also really well equipped with everything, down to the lovely toiletries, and was of a high standard. Would we return? Yes, this is the most beautiful property we have stayed in - and we have been lucky enough to stay in many amazing places. The situation is just breathtaking and so quiet. We haven’t yet gone back to the same place twice, even when we’ve loved the villa, but this could well be the exception!

Galatea was magnificent in every way, and the whole family felt at home from the moment we set foot in it. As well as magical, far-reaching, unspoilt views of the sea and distant islands, the house itself was thoughtfully arranged so as to maximise these views: everywhere one turned, there was a huge window or mirror, so that you felt immersed in the view itself. Even some of the showers inside had open views of the sea. The villa was clearly loved by its owners, and we loved it too. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us, and at the same time everything felt close, for example, the delightful outside eating and cooking area, and the elegant sunbeds and chairs gazing out to sea; and the pool was brilliant with its glass edges. We felt privileged to be staying there. All in all this was one of our most memorable trips. The homeliness of the villa and its gardens, the stunning views, and the proximity of a little cove where we swam at first light on several mornings, will stay with us through the winter months and beyond.

Our stay at Galatea was tremendous. We particularly loved the view, the location, and the proximity to the beach.

Our experience at Galatea was perfect, a definite place to return to. It was beautiful and exactly as advertised. We are in the process of booking for next year again with you as it was such a good holiday. We now want to bring the whole family back again. All in all, the best holiday we've had in years.

Galatea was an exceptional villa. Beautifully maintained and looked after. We could not fault it. The location and views were breathtaking, and it's a very easy villa to stay in. It's in a stunningly quiet area with uninterrupted views of the sea and islands beyond and a 15-minute walk through olive groves down to a very secluded bay. We could not have asked for more! We absolutely fell in love with Meganissi and the surrounding islands. We will be back!

I was so happy at Galatea, that I didn't want to go out and did not move my car for 2 entire weeks.
