Meganissi is an island idyll, a place that lends itself to blissful relaxation, coupled with a little gentle exploration. At just 20 square kilometres, it doesn’t take long to get a feel for the peaceful, unspoilt way of life here and you are never far away from another enticing turquoise bay for a refreshing dip as you travel round. And it is on the west coast of this Ionian paradise that

Villa Asimi, one of two neighbouring properties with direct access to the beach, enjoys its enviable location and spectacular views across the water.

Elevated on the hillside above Villa Platina, the house enjoys an uninterrupted view towards the mountains of Lefkada from the open plan living area, where sliding doors lead out onto the terraced garden and infinity pool. Interiors are well-appointed and feel light and spacious thanks to the clean lines, abundance of glass and stylish furnishings; upstairs, two en-suite bedrooms each enjoy access to their own private balcony with the same heavenly views across the water.

A three-minute stroll leads to blissfully unspoilt  Agios Ioannis beach, and the local taverna is less than five-minutes’ drive away. Further afield (around 15 minutes by car) the sleepy village of Spartochori has a small selection of traditional bars and tavernas, with shops offering everyday groceries and essentials. Beyond this, the coast road leads round to the enchanting harbour in Vathy where you’ll find an excellent choice of waterfront restaurants to suit all tastes.

Villa Assimi and neighbouring Villa Platina enjoy a truly beautiful and tranquil spot on Meganissi and have been designed to ensure that each house has its own identity with a good degree of privacy. Booked separately the villas are perfect for couples and small families, booked together they offer great flexibility for larger groups. But whatever the size of your party, relaxed island living is guaranteed.
