Sylvaela villa in Lefkada

The concept: Nature-inspired retreat Sylvalea is a luxury Lefkada villa with exceptional style and sophisticated architecture for up to 8 guests who want to combine seclusion and proximity to Lefkada Town. Set on a hilltop, the property offers unobstructed views of the Ionian Sea and Lefkada Town, surrounded by a verdant landscape of olive trees, creating a calm setting to unwind and enjoy your Greek vacation to the full. Though private, the villa is only minutes from the lively town center and nearby beaches, so you have easy access to everything—making Sylvalea the perfect Ionian retreat.

Outdoors Welcome to your private Lefkada retreat, surrounded by nature with sea views from every corner of the terrace. Spend unhurried days on your loungers by the pool, basking under the summer sun and relaxing to the calming sounds around you. The infinity pool features a beach-entry that slowly deepens—ideal for children—and invites a cooling dip when the sun is high. As the sun sets, gather in the alfresco dining area for a private Greek dinner (on request) prepared by a private chef on the BBQ before you head out to explore the vivid nightlife of Lefkada Town.

Indoors Designed by a noted Greek architect, Sylvalea pairs a modern, minimal approach to interior décor with natural materials that sit in harmony with the surroundings. The villa features large windows and sliding doors in every chamber to take full advantage of the natural light, resulting in a bright, soothing ambiance perfect to lay back and relax. The open-plan communal areas feel like an extension of the terrace, furnished with high-end pieces for easy comfort.

There are four en-suite bedrooms, set on different levels to enhance privacy, each with chic, comfortable bedding for a good night’s rest. Good to know Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the outdoor gym equipment to keep routines going during the holidays. In case you need a professional to assist you with your daily exercise, our concierge can arrange a private trainer to visit the villa. Prefer something slower? The alfresco area’s lawned garden is ideal for a relaxing yoga session with wide views.
