Adelphia · New villa with private pool among the olive trees near Sivota

Adelphia is a new villa and sits on the hill on the western side of the entrance to Sivota harbour. You can watch the yachts come and go from the pool terrace.

Set in an olive grove, on the south coast of Lefkada, the villa looks out over the Ionian with great views of the nearby islands with the green hills behind.

Importantly, you can walk into the heart of the village, down a small track and then a paved road. Perfect for getting the morning coffees at the excellent local bakeries and for walking back safely after dinner.

The house is laid out upside down. Upstairs, one large open space includes the kitchen, an indoor dining area and the living room. At either end are sliding doors onto two balconies. The kitchen balcony is shaded by a pergola with a large olive-wood table which seats ten and faces the sea. Being on the first floor you are above the olive trees and you get the benefit of the breeze that also blows through the house . The lounge balcony has its own seating area with umbrella and access to the roof terrace. The kitchen is built around a wide island with a marble-look top and three rush stools, with an oven, a hob, glass-fronted cabinets, a coffee machine and a kettle.

The roof terrace has its own seating area with glass balcony and is the perfect place for that evening drink after the sun has set. It has stunning views to Meganissi and Ithaca.

Downstairs, four equally sized double bedrooms each open directly onto the garden at the front of the house. They share the same calm colour scheme — white walls, warm wood headboards with reading lights, made-to-measure wardrobes with rattan doors, a dressing table. Every bedroom has air conditioning, a ceiling fan and its own shower room, each tiled differently: blue, terracotta, sea green and dusty pink with walk-in rain showers and patterned cement-tile floors. Two of the bedrooms can be configured to two single beds.

The pool sits a little apart, in the shade of old olive trees, on a terrace of local stone: sun loungers under straw parasols, outdoor sofas, and a long table also under its own pergola. It is a feature of the house that wherever the sun, there is always part of the garden or terrace in shade. The garden is newly planted and is beginning to establish itself.

Uniquely the villa has its own pickle court and outdoor cinema. Indeed, it is a villa with activities in mind with table tennis, a few weights, yoga mats and garden game like Corn Hole and boules.

Adelphia was built with a large family in mind. It will suit families and groups of friends of up to eight who want privacy, and the quiet of being out of the village , while still being close enough to walk down to Sivota's harbour and tavernas.
