Overview
Perched high on the mountain above Sivota with breathtaking views across the Ionian Sea to Paxoi and Corfu, these villas combine the opulence of a resort escape with the serenity of a private retreat. Villas Samaira consists of three individual apartments, each boasting 1-bedroom and accommodating up to 4 guests (2 adults, 2 children) in the utmost of Grecian charm and serenity.
Upon entering these villas through a naturally built tunnel, guests emerge into a cave-style design where an open plan living area beckons and large windows invite floods of natural light. Adorned with plush sofas, smart TV, and a dining setting (for 4), these living areas are cosy spaces to gather and channel guests to the outdoor terrace and pool. The sofa converts into a double sofa bed suitable for two young children (under 13-years-of-age).
The fully equipped kitchen ensures culinary enthusiasts can make memorable meals. Featuring state-of-the-art appliances and ample counter space this compact kitchen can sustain your escape whether you’re tossing together a Greek Salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends.
On one side of the living room guests will find modern bedrooms boasting a double bed and ensuite bathroom with walk-in showers. Like the living room, the bedrooms in each villa feature stunning views across the Ionian Sea where spectacular sunsets set the sky afire.
Heading out onto the terrace reveals a sumptuous private infinity pool, sun loungers, and an al fresco dining setting that sits majestically above the Ionian Archipelago. Pop the cork on a local bottle of wine, slip into the swimming pool, and gaze over the rich canvas of coastline that stretches before you.
These three identical villas are all havens high above Sivota. With their modern comforts, alluring swimming pools, and unbeatable panoramic views, these villas are stunning escapes for families or groups of friends.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villas SamairaThe village of Sivota (10-minute drive) is situated in a picturesque harbour brimming with pretty beaches and boats bobbing in the breeze. Every day local fishermen bring in the day’s catch which can be enjoyed at any number of local tavernas. This is a coastal town that epitomises the laid-back lifestyle, so take a stroll along the waterfront, take a peak inside local boutiques and bars, and generally take it easy.
The nearby beaches and beach clubs offer a bevy of water sports including water skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, sailing, snorkelling and more. Mikri Ammos Beach (2-minute drive) is a large, sandy beach which also boasts water sports including jet skiing and a host of beachfront restaurants.
Up and down the Epirus Coast is a variety of picture-perfect harbours, secluded coves and endless sandy beaches. Set out with adventure in your heart and you’ll never be disappointed by what you find along this serrated coastline.
Parga (30-minute drive) is a bustling coastal resort town known for its Venetian castle and steep streets brimming with seafood restaurants. The promenade is also a stunning setting for a stroll.
The village of Glyki (40-minute drive) is home to the dramatic Acheron Gorge where you can trek or horse ride along sheer cliffs and through turquoise waters. Better yet, take a rafting trip down the mythical River Styx (actually the River Acheron).
Zagoria (60-minute drive) is a spectacular mountain region made up of a national park and a host of traditional villages where you’ll find distinctive architecture including Byzantine churches. What is more, the region is one of Europe’s last wildernesses and boasts stunning natural wonders including Vikos (the deepest gorge in the world). The 700m-deep gorge can be walked in a full day but there is also a range of viewing points and shorter hikes available.
Of course, there is ample opportunity to discover the litany of beautiful islands off the coast, including the world-famous Paxos and Corfu. Local ferries regularly make the trip so getting back and forth is little problem, but you can also hire private boats or guides if you’d like to really come to grips with the archipelago.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesGiven the individual bedrooms, sofa beds, and separated design, this accommodation is ideal for families with kids.
Glass-bottomed boat trips are one of the most exciting experiences around and certainly one the kids will enjoy thanks to the area’s crystal-clear waters. The area is brimming with colourful reefs that are home to myriad sea creatures and there’s no better way to see it without getting your feet wet.
Of course, if the kids don’t mind getting their feet wet then why not get amongst the snorkelling? Thanks to the area’s shallow, serene, and crystal-clear waters there is often visibility of up to 50m.
If you’re looking for a busier and perhaps more high-octane experience, then why not make the short trip to the stunning island of Corfu where the kids have a great range of activities to enjoy including one of Europe’s best waterparks. Aqualand is sure to prove a hit with the kids. Renowned as one of the most impressive water parks in Europe, Aqualand boasts 36 waterslides, 15 adventure pools, a lazy river, wave pool, black hole, and even a family rafting adventure ride. Set amidst a shady forest, this is the perfect day of fun for the whole family.
