Villa Olivia - Sea Views Retreat

Hosting at Villa Olivia in Lefkada, Greece, brings us immense joy through the perfect fusion of our passion for sailing, Mediterranean living, and genuine connections with guests from around the world. Waking up to the Ionian Sea's shimmering horizon and sharing this hillside paradise—complete with its private pool, unobstructed bay views, and proximity to Sivota's vibrant harbor—feels like extending our own slice of heaven to others who crave authentic island escapes. We cherish curating effortless stays for fellow sea lovers, families, and explorers: stocking the kitchen with local olive oil and herbs for al fresco feasts, recommending hidden coves for snorkeling or charters from the nearby marina, and ensuring every detail—from plush towels to sunset cocktails on the terrace—turns vacations into cherished memories. The thrill of repeat visitors who return like friends, swapping stories of dolphin sightings or tavern-hopping adventures, reaffirms our love for this unspoiled corner of Greece. As hosts rooted in maritime life and property stewardship, we thrive on the mutual exchange: guests rejuvenate in our serene retreat while we gain fresh perspectives that keep the villa's spirit alive, all against Lefkada's dramatic cliffs, azure waters, and timeless charm that never fails to inspire.

We chose the Sivota neighborhood in southern Lefkada for Villa Olivia because it perfectly captures the serene yet vibrant essence of Ionian island life that we cherish as avid sailors and property stewards. Tucked amid lush green hills and overlooking a stunning natural harbor dotted with islets, Sivota offers an ideal balance of peaceful hillside seclusion—away from crowded tourist hubs—and immediate access to waterfront tavernas, a lively marina for charters, and pristine beaches with turquoise waters perfect for snorkeling or day sails to hidden coves. This prime spot, just minutes from dramatic west-coast gems like Porto Katsiki and authentic mountain villages, makes it a dream base for guests seeking both relaxation and adventure, while its unspoiled charm, safe yacht anchorage, and year-round breezes keep us inspired as hosts year after year.
