"Athina and Yiannis were great hosts of this gorgeous property. It is just minutes to walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery store, and lots of local shops.
The property is so clean. The bed was super comfortable. The bathroom is compact but perfectly fine, great shower and hot water any time of day. Balcony was nice but there are also a lot of seating areas around the property. There is dedicated parking next to the property which is a bonus! We will absolutely stay here again, next time we are in Lefkada!"
"This is an amazing family run hotel and quirky. The rooms are small, very dated in their design and dark but always perfectly clean. We would go back at the drop of a hat but see if we can get a modern room "
"My wife and I stayed at Villa Gialos during September 2025. The owners were there to meet us on arrival and showed us around the property. To be honest I don’t think I was paying much attention to the tour as I could not take my eyes off the amazing view.The villa was spotlessly clean and contained everything we required. We spent most of the week using the outside space which suited our needs perfectly - all day sun and a small pool to cool off.The villa is situated directly between Nydri and Syvota and typically we spent our evenings split between these 2 locations - by car both are about 10-15mins away. There is also a large supermarket less than 2mins away.We visit Greece on a frequent basis and would definitely recommend Villa Gialos and use again ourselves in the future."
"I booked this hotel from my car, from my cell while at the beach. I kept going back to it but for some reason I kept loooimg at other spots. I’m SO glad a I pulled the trigger. The entire property was amazing. From the moment you walk down into the lobby from the parking area, you are hot with the most amazing view. Mountains. Sailboats. Beautiful clear water in every shade of blue you can imagine. "
"We saw Ionian Blue on a drive to Vasiliki and it looked so beautiful I did usual research on booking platforms only to find that it rated very poorly, eg. 6.5. Not to be deterred that evening as I was very keen to stay at Ionian Blue we popped in just as 100’s of wedding guests filed in for the reception. We had a look around the beautiful foyer/bar/view and were blown away. We decided to book for two nights and loved every minute. Firstly, Ionian Blue is a grand old dame. She is majestic. Sure some fittings could be refreshed, yes the gym has defunct equipment but the sheer beauty of this resort and the enthusiasm of the staff to help with every whim makes Ionian Blue the best stay we have had the pleasure of experiencing in the last two months of road tripping through Europe. If none of this has convinced you then lastly a dip in this clean area of Ionian Sea from the sun lounge platform or the huge immaculately clean pool after having the most superb grilled prawns and club sandwich. The food is sensational as is the service."
Liana's House with great view in Vlicho Bay & big private pool !
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely stay at Lianas house. We liked that the property was divided into three villas so each family had their own space but could also congregate together by the pool and balconies. The hosts were very hospitable providing cakes and a meal. The villas were clean and comfortable.The bed’s comfortable and the showers powerful and hot. The top one is the newest the others older and facilities not as nice. Could be better stocked though. We stayed on the top apartment and only 3 bowls when 4 staying and no chopping board or oven trays. It wouldn’t take much to ensure the kitchens were well equipped which would give the tenants much flexibility. Is in a lovely location and great view near to lovely beaches and nice private pool. Would recommend "
