Cocooned in the vibrantly verdant, pine-aromatic woods of Lefkada's northwest coast, and yet just a couple of minutes' stroll from the irresistible azure waters of the Ionian Sea below, Madreterra has few rivals when it comes to location. This magnificence is matched by the property's generously proportioned interiors, and by its extensive, hedonistically equipped wrap-around terraces.

The Area

Madreterra is situated on the west coast of Lefkada, just below the village of Kalimitsi and a few kilometres south of Agios Nikitas, both of which have a few shops and some good tavernas.

A couple of minutes' stroll below Madreterra is a long stretch of wonderful beach, which runs north and south to join up with the beaches of Kathisma and Megali Petra respectively. There are a couple of bars serving snacks and refreshments along the beach below the property. A selection of other beaches can be reached within a 15-minute drive, while a 40-minute drive to the north will take you to the capital, Lefkada Town, which has a vibrant buzz about it in the summer, thanks to its host of restaurants, bars, shops and its marina.

The area around Madreterra is also ideal for walking as is most of the island's interior: with mountains rising to over 1100m, there is some truly beautiful scenery and a scattering of unspoiled villages where the way of life remains profoundly connected to the island's ancient traditions and customs.

Lefkada measures 35km from its northern tip to the dramatic white cliffs of Cape Lefkatas in the south and just 15km from east to west. This being the case, it is relatively easy to explore in a week (if you can pull yourselves away from the views and pool of the villa!). At its northern point the island is connected to mainland Greece by a floating bridge and, via frequent ferry services from the ports of Nidri and Vasiliki, to several of the other islands of the Ionian archipelago (including nearby Meganissi), making it eminently possible to travel further afield.

An illustration of a guest book

Our stay at Madreterra was magical! The house and grounds were absolutely spectacular. What stood out was the location! The views were absolutely incredible. It was isolated enough that you weren't always surrounded by people, but close enough that you could walk to the beach or take a short drive to get into town and pick up a few things.

Michele Kent September 2024

Madreterra is an amazing villa with spectacular views and a dreamy pool. The privacy of the villa was such a bonus.

FC July 2024

One of the best villa holidays I’ve ever been on. Madreterra is amazing - it has everything you could want for a summer getaway in Greece. The views over the Med are incredible, especially at sunset. A short walk down the hill to the beach. The kitchen, living room and bedrooms are comfortable and stylish with top notch fixtures and fittings. The infinity pool is perfect for kids and ideal temp to cool off on a hot day. The outdoor space is perfect for dinners and evening drinks - the bbq area is immaculate - a genuine pleasure cooking al fresco.
