Houses with just one bedroom that offer a private pool facility are hard to find. So too are properties which enjoy unrivalled sea views from all aspects. Therefore, we were thrilled to find Yasemi, in the south-east corner of the island, just 2.2km from Sivota Bay, a charming fishing village located between Nydri and Vasiliki.
Steps lead up from the pool terrace, backed by olive groves, to the first-floor accommodation which comprises of a completely open plan studio. Glass doors open from both living and sleeping areas to a covered terrace with views over the Ionian Sea, the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee whilst watching the fishing boats and yachts leave Sivota harbour as they head out for the day. The traditional kitchen and cosy living area make Yasemi the ideal base for couples wanting to explore the island, whilst having the choice to return to the villa for self-catering meals including Greek delicacies on the barbecue.

The villa is just a ten minute drive along the coastal road to Sivota, known to be one of the most beautiful bays in Lefkada, with crystal clear waters surrounded by lush green hills and pine forest. Its sheltered and protected waters make it a popular place with the yachting crowd. The pedestrian seafront is lined with pretty flowers, colourful houses and picturesque tavernas serving traditional Greek cuisine, including fresh seafood, moussaka and souvlaki. You will also find boat hire here.

The closest beach at Afteli has a shingle shoreline and clear waters making it a prime destination for snorkellers. Further around the coast, the sandy beach at Vasiliki has shallow waters and all the amenities making it a hot spot for families and windsurfers alike. Guests can drive or take a boat trip from Vasiliki to the famous west coast beaches such as Porto Katsiki and Egremni.

Being located close (100m) to Cactus, Yasemi could be a good choice for an extended family or a group of friends who can be near to each other whilst retaining their own individual space and privacy. Please note the coastal roads around Sivota can be hilly and narrow and the access to the property is steep. The access lane is unmade and so low wheel based vehicles are not recommended.
Please note: The Greek Government has introduced a Climate Tax which is payable by guests staying in hotels and other properties. For Yasemi Villa the charge is a flat rate of €15 (£13.04) per night. For your convenience we will add this amount to your booking, rather than you having to pay it in resort.
