One of the most romantic properties you could hope to find
Love is all around Cape Lougi on the island of Lefkada
Cape Lougi sits on the mountainside in an incredible position with mesmerising views of Lefkada's coastline, the Ionian Sea and neighbouring islands. It’s no surprise that The Sunday Times listed it as one of the ‘best European villas’ for its sublime position and luxurious interiors.
Loving the light interiors
The estate extends to some 26,743 square metres of land. Built from local stone, this elegant two-storey, four-bedroom villa (extending to 356m²) has been designed to give a spacious feel and capture the natural light. French doors, balconies and terraces frame the picture-perfect views and set the scene for romantic celebrations! Natural wood vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, light colours and beautifully chosen furnishings create a refined yet relaxing environment. In addition to the main house, Cape Lougi has a one bedroom ‘pool-house’ (extending to 38m²).
Outdoor living
The property enjoys total seclusion and provides a natural haven with mature gardens, outdoor entertaining space, and shady spots to enjoy a sundowner. Terraces surround the main house and lead to a large pool with an infinity edge to take in the views. There is an outdoor kitchen, complete with a large stone barbecue and bread oven and a delightful al fresco dining area. A decked plunge pool/jacuzzi area with a furnished pagoda also works as an expansive yoga platform.
Harvest your own olives
Paths crisscross the landscaped gardens and meander through the olive groves (from which the owners make their own olive oil), leading to secluded viewing points and a treehouse. Within the grounds is an original stone church, which the current owners carefully restored.
Lefkada - Ionian Islands’ little beauty
The nearest village is Sivota, 32 km from the capital town, nestled in one of Lefkada’s most beautiful bays, set among hills and lush green forests overlooking the Ionian Sea. Its traditional attractive port is quite close to the main beach and offers a safe shelter for private yachts.
Lefkada is small — at just 35km long, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive the perimeter on well-paved roads with decent signage. Flanked by olive trees and willowy cypresses, a half-hour drive takes you off the Greek mainland via a causeway from Preveza airport.
