Please note that whilst Akrothea technically has 6 bedrooms (if one includes the mezzanine level twin), the maximum number of guests remains 10 (including children).
NB: A double-twin bedroom has two single beds that can either be joined together to create a double bed or left separate as two single beds.
Reduced Occupancy
During the shoulder seasons, Akrothea can be rented at reduced rates by groups wishing to use a smaller number of the available bedrooms. The bedroom(s) that guests wouldn’t need would simply be closed off but the rest of the villa, all its amenities and its grounds would remain at their complete and private disposal. Unless otherwise specified, the best room(s) would be prepared for you.About the property
Inside
mirroring the size of the 10-acre grounds outside, and communicating with them seamlessly, the interiors of Akrothea are spacious, bright and beautifully appointed.The central, single-storey part of the villa is home to a large, luminous, triple-size, open-concept living and dining area and kitchen. Access to the surrounding terraces is provided by three wide, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that make the most of the amazing sea and coastal views. Beautiful furnishings, sink-in sofas and a large dining table make the reception areas both welcoming and comfortable, while the fully equipped kitchen has been conceived so as to allow cooks to enjoy the wonderful sea views while chopping and stirring! At either end of the central part of the villa are the two sleeping areas, each organised over two floors.
To one end, accessed from the living area, is a large double bedroom with a mezzanine level with twin beds (suitable for children) and an en-suite shower room. A flight of stairs leads downstairs to one double-twin bedroom and one double bedroom, both of which have en-suite shower rooms.
To the other end, accessed from the gorgeous dining area, a few steps lead up to a double-twin bedroom with ensuite shower room, and then, via a flight of stairs, to the main double, complete with en-suite bathroom with tub and shower attachment, and a superb panoramic terrace overlooking the pool and the sea. The other bedrooms also have direct access to terraces and all have fantastic sea views.
Outside
with 400m of private coastline and around 10 acres of gardens, terraces and al fresco areas to explore, not to mention the transfixing views of the sea and the neighbouring island of Lefkada, a stay at Akrothea comes with total privacy, peace and quiet, and plenty of space for everyone.Immediately outside the indoor living room is a covered and fully furnished lounge area offering shady coolness and superb views over the sea. A few steps lead down to the infinity pool suspended above the sea down below. To one side of the house, meanwhile, is a well-equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area, served by with a large gas barbecue.
Exploring the colourful gardens one soon comes across the steps whose destination is Akrothea's private sea access and the turquoise waters beyond...

About the Area
Akrothea is set in a totally private 10-acre coastal estate, just to the south of Agios Ioannis on Meganissi's west coast. Its private sea access, offering excellent snorkelling and swimming opportunities, means you might not need to move far from home but there is also a shallow, secluded beach just a very short walk from the main gate.
A 20-minute walk along a pebble track and tarmac road will get you from the villa to Paradiso, an idyllic waterfront taverna set in a sheltered bay with small jetties to accommodate visiting boats.
* Il Paradiso will only open for lunch and not in the evenings.
Meganissi covers just 20 square kilometres but has plenty to offer, with numerous bays and beaches to explore, sleepy white-washed villages, such as Katomeri or Spartochori, to wander around and lots of good walking paths in the centre of the island.
The two main harbours of Vathi and Spilia are great spots for dining on fish, whiling away an hour or two with a drink in hand or setting out on one of the frequent ferries to visit other islands in the Ionian archipelago, such as neighbouring Lefkada, which you will spend many hours looking at from the villa!
Considerations
Akrothea features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.
Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.
Parts of the route to this property are unpaved and a little rough. We therefore recommend guests hire a 4-wheel drive car or one with high ground clearance.
The sea access in front of this property is via rocks and so may not be possible to use if the sea is rough.
Please note that there is no real shallow end in the pool, whose minimum depth is over 1.3m.

Magical escape.

Akrothea was perfect. We hardly left the villa.
Mr Iris Andersson, Portugal, visited May 2022
Akrothea and its setting are outstanding - some of the best views we have ever had on holiday, anywhere in the world! It's a rustic setting and the experience was enhanced by having access to a boat during our stay, but the villa is quite unique.
