Not too late to catch some late season warm days and relaxing evenings - don’t forget the shades! message us for September availability.

02/09/2024

If summer has been a bit of a wash out and you’re not quite ready for sweaters and cocoa, September and October in Lefkada are often beautiful months….
The sea is warm and glorious turquoise, beaches and restaurants are quieter than peak summer. The heat softens and it’s a perfect time for cyclists, walkers, painters and others.
Drop us a line to check on availability and give yourself a pre winter wellbeing boost!

Morning yoga 😍🥰

22/07/2024

So two or three days of "hottest day in the UK so far this year" and for some of us it's back to the grey skies and drizzle... If you're craving some more reliable sunshine, turquoise seas and warmth talk to us about late availability!

Another beautiful morning - and all the promise of a chilled out day. 😎😎

Fancy a swim? Come on then, let’s go 😎

Kittens at Villa Petros! Cat mum Smokey showed up shortly after we arrived and before long introduced us to her new offspring. They’re gambling around the garden being taught by mum how to be Greek hillside cats 😍

I often talk about the blue of Lefkada, with its turquoise waters and azure skies, but there’s a lot of green too 😍

Listening to Hall and Oates’ Maneater in Makis’ Tunnel Bar in Vassiliki and remembering my friend Steve Cummings giving me lifts to school.

29/06/2024

Those of you who remember the kittens at Villa Petros from last September may be pleased to see young Shades is clearly doing well - and has picked up the ‘sun bed tester’ role from his grandma Dia! 😻😎

Yoga time!

Looking for a family holiday this summer to keep active teenagers happy?
How does windsurfing, dinghy sailing, paddle boarding, sea kayaking, snorkelling, sea swimming and boat trips in, on (and under) crystal clear turquoise waters sound?
If the answer is "great but the adults need some chill time too" - we may have the perfect solution for you!!

Lefkada brings a whole new meaning to the 'Monday Blues' 😁😎😎

Monday Lefkada Blues

At the other end of the valley in which Vassiliki beach is set, is this majestic view. So often Greek islands are depicted as white stone buildings and blue shutters, but the Ionian Islands have so many more colours to offer 😎

11/06/2024

One thing that drew us to the island of Lefkada is just how green it is. I take so many photos facing the sea and the islands, but this is the huge valley that also forms part of the view from Villa Petros.

05/06/2024

Looking forward to my first swim here this season! Porto Katsiki - like swimming in turquoise champagne 😍😍😎

Did you know that Vassiliki is often listed as one of the top 10 windsurfing destinations in Europe? Mornings are perfect for families and beginners, with calmer waters and tuition available. Then in the afternoons, with reliable regularity the breeze throws in more of a challenge!

Villa Petros is a 15 minute walk from Vassiliki Beach, on the hillside overlooking the bay. The villa sleeps 6 with its own private pool - the perfect destination for groups who want a mix of water sports and a peaceful retreat to chill out.

**Late Availability In June - and 20% off!!"

Need a holiday? How does a peaceful hillside location on the Greek island of Lefkada, with dreamy views and your own private pool sound? Watersports, cycling, walking, boat trips available for the active and a well kitted out villa if what you really need is to chill out in a home away from home.

Due to some works at Villa Petros being finished earlier than anticipated, we have some unexpected availability in June!

Dates available between 6 - 23 June. Minimum 7 nights. For this period our arrival date is flexible (ie you can take advantage of any mid week deals on flights to Preveza 😎) AND we have a one-off discount of 20% off our normal prices!!

The villa sleeps up to 6 people, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - so it's up to you whether you round up some friends or enjoy a luxurious romantic break for 2.

Please message or email [email protected] to ask any questions or book - but do it soon, as once it's gone, it's gone!

Whilst no one can guarantee the weather…. this is the forecast for the next week in Lefkada….

Did you know Vassiliki is a top windsurfing destination?

We didn't the first time we visited - in fact I remember sitting up on the hillside using my camera zoom to focus in and figure out what all the multicoloured things zooming across the water were!!

Booking a rental villa direct with the owners.
Part 4. Will I get a lesser service because I'm not booking with a big company - they have reps and welcome packs?

We believe we can offer a MORE personalised service than many large companies! Instead of speaking to someone in a reservations team who has *perhaps* been on an 'educational' to that destination and maybe seen the accommodation, you'll be talking direct to the owners of the property.

We know every inch of the villa, its pool and outdoor areas. We know what equipment it has and what it's like in different parts of the season. We eat in local restaurants, swim at local beaches, book our own car hire from a local company.

We have a local villa manager on hand to meet you and deal with any questions. We can help with recommendations for activities, restaurants, food shopping, things to do. And we do have a detailed Welcome Pack which we email to you before you arrive. It has lots of useful practical info to help you plan your trip. You can also phone us with specific questions about things that matter to your party such as "Can I find oat milk in the local supermarket?" (yes), "Is there a hair dryer in each room?" (yes) and so on.

καλό πάσχα!
Roast lunch at .dining_lefkada to celebrate Greek Easter Sunday (rude not to really 😉😁😎) Delicious food and a fabulous welcome from Dimitri, Lena and the team as always.

Booking a rental villa direct with the owners.
Part 3. But is my money safe?

When booking Villa Petros - absolutely. We clearly advise you of cancellation terms (which were in fact based on one of the large villa companies) We advise all rental guests to take travel insurance because life happens sometimes, and we don't want you to have a last minute problem you're not covered for. If you have to cancel or amend your booking we'll do our best to help. (We don't charge for changes to the party, name changes etc)
We have insurance against big issues that could make the villa uninhabitable. We have people looking after the villa locally to ensure it remains in good condition.

But there's another thing - we have one villa. Whilst a large holiday company can weather a proportion of complaints and refunds, every booking really does matter to us. And for the time you're at Villa Petros YOU are THE customers!!

Booking a rental villa direct with the owners.
Part 2. Will I get a better price if I book Villa Petros through an online platform?

No - absolutely not. The best price will always be to book direct from us. On large online platforms, the base price of a villa is still set by the owner. Some platforms add extra fees, and they charge owners a significant percentage of a booking.
If you prefer to book through one of these platforms you are welcome to do so, but the best price for our villa will always be direct from us.

And another season begins!! If you come to Vassiliki don’t miss a tunnel Rock Bar - great music and great company
