Artblue Villas

Our stay at villa Melia exceeded our expectations. Everything was wonderful - the villa, the service, the breakfast. We left feeling relaxed and recharged.Every day offered a unique sunset and we had a great time around the pool and fireplace. We'll definitely return again!

Our first visit to Lefkada this summer and I found it’s best kept secret - Art Blue Villas. A selection of 6 villas positioned in quiet, well kept olive grove terraces, hidden from each other but with the most exceptional West facing views. As a family of 4 we stayed in Aledora, which like all the villas is tastefully decorated with a contemporary, beach house feel to the architecture and outdoor spaces. Great consideration and attention to detail to all the sleeping, dining and cooking spaces, compact but well equipped with good quality equipment. Little extras were there on arrival, such as fresh fruit or local delicacies and the wonderful Natasa was soon back with home made lemonde and a cold beer! Each day she replenished the fresh mint and cucumber water jug in the fridge. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully furnished with sun loungers, a pool bed and a lovely shaded dining area. Small details such as ambient outdoor and indoor lighting together with fabulous large candle lanterns and simple outdoor decor all add to the feeling of something unique and understatedly special. The West facing position ensures views to rival any venue, with incredible sunsets enjoyed on the terrace or in the pool; being high up there was often a slight breeze which made the warm evenings more comfortable. Breakfasts - I am not sure they can be summed up so simply! The menu was extensive and the majority was home made and assembled on the spot, all delivered by Dina and Natasa or team in lovely wicker baskets and ice buckets. You choose the night before and decide on a time (which goes up to late morning so no need to get up too early!). Cleaning was done daily if required and small amounts of washing are also done and returned the same day. The pool was cleaned early every morning - very quietly! Dina gave us restaurant recommendations and a fantastic taxi contact Nikos, who if not available found a replacement. The location is up a very steep winding road, so a car or taxi is needed. The local village has a good array of simple stores, coffee shop and restaurants, one of which did collection takeaway. Lefkada town is a short drive away. Finally the team, Natasa, Dina etc were exceptional, they couldn't do enough to ensure our holiday was the perfect. Thank you all so much, it was truly wonderful and we will definitely be back. Kate & Gerry & family. Ps. next time I will ask about the running routes in the olive groves rather than the road!

We stayed at the Villa Camelia a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful time. The villa is beautiful in every way. It has an amazing pool with fantastic views from the patio, particularly of the sunset. It is also very quiet in the day but not too far from restaurants and shops. The villa itself has everything you need and the daily maid service ensures it stays as beautiful as the day you arrive. The breakfasts were an amazing treat and Dina and Natasha couldn’t do enough for us and were great at recommending days out and restaurants to visit. (Amente restaurant was our favourite) I cannot recommend this Vila more highly.

We stayed for a week at Villa Iasmos - what an amazing place! The hospitality at Artbluevillas is second to none. I have travelled far and wide, and taken many villas before, and this experience was the best of all of them. Dina and Natasha consistently went out of their way to look after us beautifully - nothing was too much, and they worked very hard to make our holiday an outstanding experience. From delivering a mouthwatering breakfast daily to us (very spoiling, and something I have never experienced before on a villa holiday), to recommending a spectacular (and very reasonable) day's boat trip, and a wonderful masseuse who came to our villa, to delivering daily into our fridge a beautiful glass jug of fresh water, with mint and sliced lemon in, to recommending beaches and restaurants. Their team ensured that the villa, pool and outside space was always spotless, and the villa was as new and beautifully kept. Natasha would bring us little 'treats', eg. a tray of their own Artbluevillas camomile tea and teapot, and even one day a little locally-made fresh liqueur. The kitchen is very well-stocked, and they always ensured that the coffee pods etc were replenished daily. The view was sensational - the villa is set high up in the hills, surrounded by trees and nature, with a vista to the stunning blue sea, and with spectacular sunsets. We loved the floating mattress set at one end of the pool, which was lovely to lie on whilst watching the sun set. The beds and pillows are supremely comfortable, ensuring a wonderful night's sleep, and I loved the copper bathroom basins, and the complimentary Olive Era toiletries! The villa was very modern and stylish. What a truly wonderful week - thank you to all of you at Artbluevillas. We shall DEFINITELY return!!
