Description
A big stone house with blossoming shrubberies and breathtaking views, this exceptional family villa is certainly among the loveliest in CV Villas’ Greek Islands portfolio. In a stunning setting, high on the hillside above Sivota, Villa Cercis brings more than a touch of luxury to villas in Lefkada. In a style more Tuscan than traditionally Greek, the central area is one long and lovely living room with plump-cushioned sofas and a wood-beamed ceiling, open-plan to the bespoke kitchen, and opening on to a covered terrace, comfortably furnished for outdoor living and commanding exquisite coastal views.
The bedrooms are in the two-storey ‘book-ends’ of the building, each with en suite bath or shower room and a private balcony. Steps lead down from the house to a pristine private tiled pool in its sun-trap surround, and to a little lounging area with cool cushioned rattan. This meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the house and garden. Delightfully, comfort at Villa Cercis is matched by convenience, as the natural harbour of Sivota is just 1.5km away, with shops and cafes, a shingle beach, waterfront tavernas and often lots of yachts.
