The villa has two spacious ensuite double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to four guests, ideal for a small family or two couples sharing. Villa Tien is one of four secluded private villas, nestled in the hillside of Frini, with sweeping views over the verdant valley of Agia Marina, out to the Ionian Archipelago and beyond.

The one-storey, detached villa is built out of traditional Mediterranean whitewashed walls, and locally hewn stone, set in its own small grounds, surrounded by lush green flora, flowering in season, and your own centrepiece, sea view, swimming pool. The property comes with private parking, complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, and an excellent team of concierge consultants, who can charter a yacht or arrange a private chef. The interiors are seriously smart, furnished with contemporary pieces, lots of natural wood, modern lighting, and tasteful art adorns the walls, and it is decorated in a cool, calming colour palette of subtle shades of grey and beige, with rainbow colour highlights.

Follow the smooth paved path, and take the stone steps up the villa. Enter Villa Tien, where there is a large open plan, breathtakingly beautiful sea views living space, flooded with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, that open onto the pool terrace. The seating area has a light-coloured comfy sofa, scattered with colourful cushions, a matching chair and armchair, and a glass-topped coffee table, all facing a flat-screen satellite television. The adjacent dining set seats up to four guests, and is ideal for indoor entertaining. A brown and stainless steel galley-style kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including that must-have Nespresso coffee maker. There are two elegantly-appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed, spacious wardrobes, bedside tables, a dressing table desk, and a flat-screen television. The ensuite marble bathroom has a walk-in shower, a vanity unit hand basin, and a WC. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto the pool terrace, so you can slip out of bed and have a swim before breakfast. The second bedroom has twin beds, built-in wardrobes, a flat-screen TV, an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and direct access to the pool terrace.

The paved terrace commands sweeping sea views, and is home to a ladder-entry infinity swimming pool. There are four sun loungers with side tables, strategically set in a shady spot. You can feast alfresco at the four-seater dining set, as you enjoy local delicacies freshly cooked on the barbeque, and raise a toast to the most memorable holiday.

Villa Tien is set in ancient olive groves of Frini, overlooking the azure blue Ionian Sea, on the Greek island of Lefkada. The villa is forty minutes from the nearest international airport of Aktion in Prevaza, or you can island hop from Ithaki, Kefalonia or Meganisi. It is a short five-minute drive into the main town of Lefkada, where you can purchase all the provisions you will need to cater for your holiday.

The villa is located on the north of the island, where there is a causeway that connects it to mainland Greece. Nearby and down the west coast there are many fabulous famous golden sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, most notably Agios Ioannis, then Kathisma, Porto Katsiki, Agiofili, and Egremni. Many of the beaches are organised with sun loungers and brollies, a selection of water sports, and cafes and bars. Lefkada is famous for its dense forests and mountains; walk, trek, hike, climb or cycle these inland regions, and take guided tours on well-worn tracks, as you pass the island’s flora and fauna. Admire the views of Mount Elati, at 1 150m above sea level, it is the highest peak on Lefkada.

Visit the capital town of Lefkes, with its central square of Agios Spyridon, and many beautiful Greek Orthodox churches with original icons, and works of the Ionian School of Painting. Walk down Mela Street, with its arcades of souvenir shops and traditional houses, before visiting the Archeological, Gramophone, and Folklore Museums. Stop at a welcoming family-run taverna to enjoy some homemade meze washed down with a glass of ouzo. The picturesque fishing village of Vassilki is thirty-eight kilometres from the villa, on the south coast. The area is well known for its beautiful organised beaches, and excellent water sports, particularly windsurfing. From here you can take the ferry and island hop to Ithika and Kefalonia.

The village of Poros has verdant slopes, populated with traditional two-storey terracotta-roofed houses, winding alleyways, a fourth-century castle, and the Church of Analipsi, with its Byzantine icons and frescoes. See the yachts at Sivota, as you sit and watch the fishing boats unload their daily catch for the local restaurants. The village of Santa Maria is rich in the cultural history of the island, it has a tiny church, a nineteenth-century castle, a fifteenth-century mosque, and a Venetian Christian temple, with a stone bell tower. There are the two sea lake lagoons of Lefkada, in the protected area of Divari and Ivaria, home to migratory sea birds, gulls, herons, and swans, as well as hares, foxes, and ferrets.

No visit to Lefkada is complete without a boat tour of the island, and even better let the concierge arrange your own private yacht charter with your own captain. Sail the Ionian Sea, swim, snorkel, and sunbathe, enjoy a meze lunch aboard, then embark at cocktail hour, as the sun begins to set. Visit the vineyards and sample the varieties of wine the island has to offer, and after dark dance the night away under the twinkling stars.

There are lots for your kids to do and see around Lefkada when you stay at Villa Tien. Starting with your own private swimming pool, where they can swim, play, and splash all day. The nearest beach is the renowned Agios Ioannis, a fifteen-minute walk from the villa and near Lefkada town. This long golden sandy beach is fabulously family-friendly, with organised facilities, and lots of windsurfing and water sports for your older children.

There are at least twenty-two other superb beaches populating the Lefkada coastline, many with easy entry, clear water, and family-friendly amenities. Particularly recommended is the tiny pebble beach and pristine waters of Kastro, near Lefkada town, it is organised with sun loungers and parasols, and has lots of welcoming cafes and bars. Nearby is Ammoglossa, adjacent to Kastro with natural shade and parking,  down the coast is Lygia, shaded by eucalyptus trees and lots of amenities, and picturesque Nikiania is in a beautiful shallow water bay with a diving centre.

The town of Lefkes is well worth a visit, where your children can learn some of the island’s history at the Archeological Museum, the culture at the Folklore Museum, and have some old-fashioned fun at the Gramophone Museum. Afterwards, take them for a treat to a traditional Greek patisserie for a delicious homemade local dessert and ice cream. There are a lot of playgrounds dotted around town for the younger members of your family. Get them active with a walk along one of the many forest and mountain trails, a morning horseback riding, or a day out at the sea lakes to see the birds.

Take a jeep safari around the island, and see the inland mountain village of Karya, noted for its embroidery shops and handcrafted olive artefacts. Stop off at the monastery of Faneromeni, with its Byzantine icons, lush gardens, and a mini zoo. Out of town a family day to Nydri is a must, with its verdant natural bays, sandy beaches, fishing boats and caiques, ferry connections, and folklore museum. It is also home to the Nydri Waterfalls at the Dimossari Gorge, where water cascades into a natural lake surrounded by rock formations. The village of Agios Nikitas is famously family-friendly, noted for its picturesque beauty, with a pristine beach set in an amphitheatre bay, surrounded by olive groves. Whilst Mili Beach is great for kitesurfing, swimming, and sunbathing. For your older children, on the south coast, the village of Vasiliki is noted for fun in the sun windsurfing.

You can all learn the art of olive oil production at the Fabbrica Olive Museum, taste it, and take a bottle home with you. Nearby is the Kerasia Waterfall, well worth a visit just for the views. No holiday to Lefkada is complete without a family day at sea, join a boat tour from the harbour, or let the concierge charter your own yacht, where you can swim, snorkel, and sunbathe all day.
