Set high on the cliffs above Spilia Bay, the villa also has spectacular sea views over Skorpios Island, Lefkada and mainland Greece.

The villa is perched on the edge of Spartachori village, which in turn curls around a picturesque natural harbour. A little grander than its neighbours, with a private infinity pool in prime position overlooking the bay, Casa di Maura is nonetheless very much part of the village, a Greek island classic of white-washed houses, flower-filled courtyards and bright blue views.

You can wander the narrow streets and enjoy a car-free evening out with a carafe or two of wine in one of the local tavernas, or visit the market for some fresh local produce. There’s a stylish outdoor lounge area by the pool for breakfast in the shade or drinks before dinner, and three of the four bedrooms open directly onto a further large terrace above.

Meganissi is small so nothing is ever too far away. The closest beaches are just five minutes by car, and Vathy village and harbour, used by both leisure craft and working fishing boats, is reachable in ten. For a change of pace, boats to Lefkada sail from the port of Spilia, just a couple of minutes’ drive.
