EXPERIENCE A LUXURY PRIVATE VILLA ON LEFKADA

Tucked away in the forest above Nidri harbour we have created a wonderful luxury, private retreat with extraordinary panoramic views. Magnificent, star gazing is possible given the near total absence of light pollution. Our heated pool makes swimming during every week of the season comfortable with a pool temperature of 25C whilst our investment in a 22-panel solar array means we produce all our own electricity making your heated-pool, air-conditioned stay both luxurious and carbon-neutral.

Our luxury starts with a warm welcome and support from our villa managers Jon and Gill (onsite in a cottage in the grounds below the main villa) but then extends to:

A generous hamper on arrival to ensure you’re free to relax immediately with food and drinks to see you through dinner & breakfast.
Comfortable beds and luxury linens.
Luxurious bathrooms and showers supported by a whole-house pump & softened water
High class furnishings that blend the modern with selected antiques and personally curated artwork from around the world create a unique feel to each room – far away from identikit hotels or IKEA furnished villas.
Books and games, DVDs, Bluetooth/Airplay speakers, a full TV service including international channels, WiFi access throughout the house and on the pool terrace.
Amenities to cook as little or as much as you want in a fully equipped kitchen, or on a large BBQ and using a sizeable herb garden.

Lovely stay
We have just returned from a 2 week stay at villa Gabriella , 4 adults and 5 children, had an amazing time ! The villa was located high on a hill with outstanding views and a short drive into Nidri. The pool area and eating terrace were brilliant for 2 families and were well used! Jill and Jon who look after the property were wonderful providing knowledge of the local area, offered a babysitting service and made us some local baked treats😁 The area is amazing , beautiful Ionian Islands and it is worth hiring a boat to explore the surrounding islands. We would definately recommend this villa, and would advise to hire a 4x4 as the road leading up to the villa is unmade and we got stuck on it on one occasion because our hire car wasn't powerful enough. All in all a lovely family holiday

Dream holliday !
Great & Perfect ! These words summarize the conditions in which we spent the holiday at Villa Gabiella. Great location, great villa, perfect conditions, and a magnificent view. Ian and Gill were very nice and always around but extremely discreet. We will return to this location with pleasure and with the feeling of "home".

Fantastic villa. Outstanding view.
Top-notch place, nestled in the quiet mountain above Nidri. Can’t go wrong here. Well-stocked and clean kitchen and bathrooms. Property managers available and responsive. Enjoy the view and the pool and hot-tub. Get the private chef to cook for you. Enioy the movie choices on the on-demand TV. Did I mention the view? Only lament is that we didn't spend even more time in the villa (Lefkada beaches and restaurants are so great!).

Faboulas villa stunning views and second to none facilities
Stayed at Villa Gabriella for our second week in the Nidri area in August 2017 and have to say that it is probably the best villa that we have had the pleasure to stay-in on our many trips to Greece. Our party was 5 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 15. The views from the villa during the day and the evening are stunning, its also well worth seeing in the sunrise in the early morning as well. Facilities in the villa are second to none, including cooking, entertainment, music, pool and the gardens. Its approx 10 mins drive to the nearest taverna (which is very good) and another 5 mins to Nidri and taxi's will bring you back for approx 10 euro's as well. I throughly recomend Villa Gabriella and would happially consider returning.

A stunning villa on a stunning spot on a stunning island
On less than one hour from the airport of Preveza one finds Villa Gabriella: paradise on earth! Magnificently located in the hills above Nydri the surroundings are quiet without being isolated. Its terrace offers a stunning view over the Mediterranean. The same view can be enjoyed from both the hot tub and the pool – giving even more a feeling of exclusivity. It really is a very beautiful house, well decorated, well maintained, with complete amenities and very good beds. Garden and trees contribute to the peaceful atmosphere. The island of Lefkada is more than worth exploring with beautiful nature, splendid beaches and a friendly population. One of the islands that are seen from the terrace is Skorpios, property of the Onassis family: we have come to understand why they favored this spot! Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by a generous welcoming pack of food and beverages. Finally we would like to mention our appreciation of the very helpful, informative and friendly manager of the house. Our advice: go there and enjoy all the house and the island has to offer, you will not be disappointed!
