Holiday houses in Mikros Gialos

We had a lovely week at these villas and highly recommend! We were worried about sharing a pool with lots of people but because the complex is so close to the beach (less than 200m to the actual sea) there was never more than 15 people in and around the pool at any one time. Really clean, really helpful staff, lovely shared terrace.

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa - it was very comfortable for our family of 5 with two children sharing the twin room. The pool area was lovely, safe and plenty of room around the pool to laze around. Loved the secret pathway down to the water allowing us to jump safety into the cool refreshing water. The town itself is lovely with plenty of restaurants and places to buy food. Is slightly too far to walk with young children but is doable in about 20 minutes if not too hot. Vasilliki was our other favourite town (the old port side) and a 15 min drive. Nicole looked after us and communication was very easy and responsive through WhatsAp. All in all it was a lovely, relaxing and easy week - thoroughly recommend. Thanks Penelopy.

The location by the beach is ideal. The scenery of the village of Mikros Gialos is exotic, between the mountains and the sea. The stay was all the more superb thanks to the warm welcome. Nearby shops are authentic and of good quality. Hard to do better! Restaurant Del Mar staff are exceptional (and cats are adorable).

We had a fantastic time staying at the Ionion Diamond Villa in Mikros Gialos which was our first time staying on the island of Lefkas. The property was beautiful in a fantastic location overlooking the bay with everything we needed provided for, we especially enjoyed the infinity pool with it’s views! Alexandra was a fantastic host who was living next door so the check-in process was a lot easier than we realised (some places we are used to just a key safe!). She provided really good advice on the local area and the wider island which was really helpful to make the most of our holiday. It was great to be able to take the short 10 mins walk down into the village to the local supermarkets and restaurants (would recommend The Molos and Zolithros restaurants). Local beach was lovely too (pebbles but great water) Lefkas as an island was lovely but very busy in peak summer period with the number of visitors, we would return but probably at a quieter time so to enjoy more of the island

Simply put, this is by far one of the best places we have stayed in all of our recent trips. Let’s begin by the hosts. This is their lifetime project, which they have built for them and their children. They are the kindest, most considerate, generous and even affectionate persons there is. Then, the location. Nestled on a cliff, overlooking the bay, with the Ionian sea and islands in the distance. One can swim directly at the bottom of the cliff, accessible via a private entrance and path. Or lounge on chairs on the terrace. Lastly, the quietness of the surroundings. We spent a considerable amount of time simply enjoying the sun, the view, the tsipouro provided by the hosts, a book, while feeling great about it, slowly leaving behind our daily lives. Only remark: as well indicated by the hosts before booking, the path to get to this amazing place is rugged. Do not forget to specify to the rental company that you need a high vehicle. Although we did it with a 208, I suggest you do not.

The villa was stunning just like the photos and finished to an incredibly high spec. Beautifully furnished with a clean , crisp and stylish edge.The villa is on a hill overlooking Sivota Bay and other islands and the view is truly breathtaking. The outside BBQ and seating area was large and provided shade from the sun. It was hot while we were here but the air conditioning inside was super efficient and provided the perfect temperature. Paul the host gave great instruction how to get to the villa and was on hand if we needed anything. The road to the villa, and in fact all the accommodation on the hill above Sivota , is windy and steep in places and takes about 10 minutes to drive from Sivota . Sivota itself is charming with lovely restaurants and shops. Highly recommended.

Stunning villa with the most amazing views of Sivota Bay - Our host Erez was amazing from start to finish with excellent communication making the process very relaxed for our family. The villa is exactly as the pictures show with all contemporary fixtures and fittings and great air conditioning , the pool area is huge with a great space for all the sun loungers and large outdoor dining table all with absolutely breathtaking views. Thanks Erez for a fantastic stay and we will be back

Breathtaking views, very nice and clean house. Very friendly & helpful owner who is always willing to help. Halfway through our stay, the house was cleaned again. Steve kept the pool clean every day for our children. In short; highly recommended!
