Overview
Villa Hodos is a beautifully stylish two-bedroom villa that sleeps up to 5 guests and offers picturesque surroundings, modern amenities, and a private pool. This pretty terracotta-coloured stone building, with its flat roof, and green shutters, oozes charm and character and is set within its courtyard. The main gates are shared with another villa, but once you have passed through the small garden area of flowers and olive trees, you enter your own private walled garden, complete with bbq facilities and, of course - a pool. There are sun loungers and parasols, as well as an entrance terrace and front terrace, both with seating areas which are perfect for enjoying incredible views and an al-fresco bottle of wine or two.
The ground floor of the villa features an open-plan layout, with double doors opening out onto the front terrace. The decor is very neutral in colour, including lots of cream shades with hints of honey and soft peach. The walls, coffee table, and sofa (which can sleep one guest) are white and contrast nicely with the tiled floors in shades of light terracotta and cream. The light-coloured wood of the staircase, dining table and kitchen units match well with the very natural colour palette, giving the whole room a warm and homely feel. The kitchen area is well-equipped with modern appliances, including an electric oven and hob, microwave and coffee maker, as well as a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer. For your comfort, there is air-conditioning throughout the ground floor areas, as well as a door from the kitchen area that opens out into the courtyard.
Villa Hobos has two bedrooms on the first floor, one double and one twin room. Both rooms feature exposed ceiling beams and the same beautiful tiled flooring as the ground floor. They are decorated in shades of cream and hints of peach, with crisp white linens and beautifully crafted wooden furniture. The double room has large doors that open out onto a balcony area featuring a small table and seating for two, the ideal place to take in the early morning sun with a coffee or light breakfast. The views from both rooms are incredible, looking out over olive groves and forests and out towards the sea and the mountains beyond. Both rooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms, with the double room featuring a jacuzzi bath and marble suite. The en-suite for the twin room features a walk-in shower and has a door that opens out to views of the pool.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa HodosLefkada is a breathtakingly beautiful island situated in the heart of the Ionian sea and connected to the Greek mainland by a small bridge. Boasting one of the most picturesque natural landscapes and home to some of the most scenic beaches in the country, it’s no wonder that this exotic destination is often called the ‘Caribbean of Greece’. If it’s beaches you are after, then you will be spoiled for choice while holidaying on the island. The west coast is home to long stretches of sand and impressive cliffs, while the east has more sheltered bays and coves. Most of the beaches have seafront tavernas and bars, ideal for trying some local cuisine, and many offer facilities such as watersport tuition and equipment hire, sun loungers and beach umbrellas.
Lygia beach, which is situated at the top of the east coast of the island, plays an important part in the area for the island’s fishermen, so here, in particular, you will find amazing seafood restaurants along its small pebble beach and also experience gorgeous views of the Greek mainland. Another fishing village in the same area, which is now more of a developed tourist spot, is Nikiana, which boasts two pebble beaches, one to the north and one to the south of the harbour. Both have views of the mainland and feature many bars, cafes, and tavernas.
Nidri, which is about halfway down the east coast, is one of the more lively resorts on the island, with a beach featuring popular bars and offering great views of the neighbouring islands. One of the most important sailing competitions in this part of the Med, the Ionian Regatta, sets its route past here, so don’t be surprised if you see sailing boats as you relax on the sand. For those looking for some nightlife, Nidri is also home to a few clubs as well.

Getting There
How to reach Lefkada island
You can easily reach Lefkas by car from mainland Greece, via the bridge connecting Lefkada with Aitoloakarnania. Lefkada island does not have an airport.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesAs with any villa holiday, a pool is always a huge hit for families with children. It often means that no one even needs to venture further than their accommodation, except maybe to a local market or restaurant, and Villa Hodos is no exception. The pool and loungers are slightly elevated from the ground floor entrance and are shaded on one side by beautiful trees. Lefkada is unique in that it is possible to drive from the island to the mainland of Greece, offering families the opportunity to venture further out if they wish, but for those who are visiting Lefkada without a car or the means to hire one, there is plenty on the island to keep the whole family entertained. The entire country is rich in history and heritage, and there are many museums to explore, whichever part of Greece you visit. The ancient palace-like settings are intriguing to children, and they’ll enjoy seeing artefacts such as ancient statues that have been hauled up from the depths of the sea or helmets worn by the gladiators in days gone by.
The beach always offers plenty of entertainment for children of all ages, whether it be building sandcastles and paddling in the sea, boat trips and snorkelling, surfing, bodyboarding, or windsurfing. A lot of the beaches offer lessons in a variety of activities and watersports tailored to all ages, as well as equipment hire for those who already know the ropes. Little explorers will enjoy the beaches with rocky enclaves and caves, as well as the rock pools to discover. Parents should always be aware that some beaches have steep drop-offs or strong currents, but the majority of beaches are safe for families when the proper precautions are taken.
Eating out in the area with children can sometimes be tricky in Greece as there is a general lack of children’s menus. Greek cuisine is all about sharing, and it’s recommended that visitors order lots of small dishes (mezes) and let the kids have a little try of everything. Most restaurants will cater to even the fussiest eaters, though, with options such as pizza and pasta, chips, bread and savoury pies. Parents of children with allergies should be aware that ingredients such as nuts and dairy find their way into a lot of Greek dishes, so it would be an idea to have any allergy information clearly written down in Greek to show restaurant staff.
