We are looking forward to host you.

Hugely relaxing holiday in the most beautiful setting

The views incredible and the house met all our needs. The a/c was lovely after a hot day but the breeze at the top on the hill also meant it was cool enough to sit out in the shade too. The breeze kept away mosquitoes and wasps too. The drive is steep but we were shown exactly how to manage it in the car and it didn’t phase us. It was a lovely holiday and we would definitely come back.

Incredible view in an affordable villa

Incredible view in an affordable villa
+ Location was incredible and well worth the drive for the view you get.
– One room in the villa was small and really not suitable for two adults. Other rooms were beautiful though.

A little piece of heaven in Greece

+ Most relaxing place I’ve been to for years. The lack of noise was noticeable.
The villa was perfect and not a thing needed to improve it. The cleaning team were amazing and the host Barbara was fantastic. No question or problem too much. Made life so easy.
– Road up as others have said is a little tricky. But for me was not a problem after the first day. Seemed silly to have to meet Barbara in town for her to show you the route, but well worth it and made it easy for rest of week. The upside of the road, is the peace and tranquility, as no one else going up there and the most amazing views when you are in the villa. Would not put me off going back.

Absolutely amazing with georgeous views

There are lovely areas to sit outside as a group to eat or relax. The villa is stocked with everything you need for your stay and it was very clean with nice furnishings. The drive up is very steep so you need a powerful car but Barbara met us and showed us how best to tackle this before we tried. Sivota, with its restaurants and cafes is walk-able and keeps you fit walking back up to the Villa. Barbara was great and very friendly, giving us her time and explaining all the best places to visit on the island. We had a wonderful time here and would hope to return soon.

Leaving paradise

We’re very sad of leaving paradise. We have enjoyed 5 wonderful days here in Lefkada in spite of the storms. We’re looking forward to come back soon. Thanks a lot Barbara. You have been the best ambassador. See you soon (I hope).

Individually furnished villa

We felt very comfortable and thank you for a great holiday. It is rare to find such a beautiful villa that is so individually furnished with so much love as this one. Nothing was missing and the days are simply wonderful. We can only recommend this wonderful villa. Many thanks and best regards from ‘forever seven’.

Thank you very much for the perfect ‘home in Greece’. We’ll always remember Lefkada by picturing the Nirvanas view in our mind. Hope to see you again!

Fabulous stay

We’ve had a fabulous stay. The views have been stunning. We’ve had some great boat trips here and even saw some lion fish! We hope to come back again another year. Barbara and the team have been great and fixed the air conditioning when it tripped out.

Wonderful stay

We have had a wonderful 5 days at Villa Nirvana. Thank you so much for making it such a wonderful stay. The people were amazing and the weather was lovely. The hills sure kept us fit but this was made better by the views! We’ve enjoyed exploring the town, and the boat recommendations were great fun. Hopefully we will be back soon and we will also recommend to friends. Lot’s of love.

Beautiful place

A pleasant holiday in a beautiful place. Friendly people. The house is beautiful and has every comfort, nothing is missing. The location is surrounded by greenery and is a haven of peace. Aris is of added value! Thank you very much!

Surpassed every expectation

Villa Tranquility surpassed every expectation. Marjon’s communication was brilliant before we travelled and Barbara on the ground was wonderful. There is mention of the driveway being steep, don’t let this fool you…it’s like a rollercoaster ride, definitely not one for the faint hearted but so worth it once you reach the top and see the view. The villa is utterly gorgeous, the photos don’t do it justice. We had a super trip and can’t wait to return!

Wonderful stay

We have had the most wonderful stay. The Villa had everything we needed for 4 children (0-4 years) and 3 adults and we still can’t get over the amazing views! Thank you so much to Barbara for making everything so easy, we will be back!

Natural beauty

Villa Tranquility, the place for peace, natural beauty and absolute relaxation. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. The house is comfortable, spacious and clean. The space and the view were unique and it was really hard for us to say goodbye. Our children enjoyed the pool and the garden. We thank Barbara for her hospitality and her help. She is incredibly professional, cheerful and polite. We will never forget our holiday in such an ideal place.

The perfect place to totally relax

Villa Tranquility, what an opt name! All you can hear are the birds and crickets, so it is the perfect place to totally relax. We loved every simple aspect of the house. The amazing pool, the generous outdoor space, the luxurious furniture and thoughtful design of the interior. We had everything we needed up here so really didn’t need to leave for 3 days. Now we are already think about when we can come back! Huge thank you to Barbara for explaining everything so well and providing wonderful extras (including my ‘surprise’) and to Marjon for hosting us in this beautiful villa. We appreciated her deep knowledge and insightful suggestions for the island.

World class design and decor

An unforgettable villa experience at Villa Tranquility. We would like to express our sincere praise for the experience we had during our stay. This villa exceeded all our expectations and provided a luxurious and comfortable retreat. The villa was breathtaking. The design and decor were world class with attention to every small detail. The rooms were spacious and elegantly furnished, with comfortable beds. Three bathrooms providing extra privacy. The outdoor space of the villa was absolutely stunning. The private pool was perfect for relaxing and cooling off on hot days. Very attentive and friendly staff. They went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome. I highly recommend this villa to anyone seeking a luxurious and relaxing retreat. I look forward to returning to this villa.

Great base for exploring Lefkas

The villa is very well appointed, and we found that very few things we needed were not provided! It is clear that those who take care of the place have invested much love and time in making the place comfortable and practical, much more so that I have come to expect – well done!

The insect screens are a boon, having spent the previous week sailing the Ionian, it allowed us to recover from the very numerous bites which we alteived on the boat.

We all enjoyed our time at the villa a great deal. It is a great base for exploring Lefkas.

Wishing you and the future guest every happiness!

Villa is beautiful again

We have all had a wonderful week thank you. Only problem has been flights, which have been a bit of a nightmare for a few of us. Villa is beautiful again thank you and it is so peaceful up here. We love it and I am sure we will want to come again.

Even better than in the pictures

The villa is great, even better than in the pictures and with an amazing view. It has everything you need and was larger than we expected. The hosts online and in person were very helpful and helped us to organise things like a food shop and renting a boat locally. As mentioned the hill is very steep, it is just about walkable on occasion if you don’t mind a challenge and stopping for breathing breaks regularly, however if you need to get anything up to the house a car is needed as mentioned. We had a great time and would visit again – thanks!

Woh!

Woh! When we first walk in to the villa, past the infinity pool and through to the kitchen to then go outside to see the view, will forever be in our hearts!! The welcome from Barbara and the booking through Alfresco Villas with help and guidance from Marjon at every step makes for a great start to our holiday. The interior with air conditioning being very welcome after a hot day a the beach. Well equipped kitchen and the luxurious feel to the villa throughout makes it a wonderful home from home.

We really enjoyed the restaurants in Sivota, the kayaking, hiring of the speed boats, beaches, shopping and the lovely people. We will miss Lefkada, but we have made some very special memories here and have had the most amazing two weeks. When we are hard at work and our life gets busy and maybe when we are feeling low, we will just think of this view and the days we had.

Like we were in Nirvana

From the first second, we really felt like we were in Nirvana here. A beautiful villa with the most breathtaking view ever. We take so much home with us (…) beaches with azure blue water, boat trips, rainbows, lots of laughter together and gallons of Greek wine. Thank you for the unbelievably many wonderful moments for which you provided us with the platform.

Beautiful villa

What a beautiful villa. Barbara thank you for being a superb host. Our first visit to Sivota since we got married in 2004 and sailed from here around the islands. They are just as charming now. The most beautiful caves and beaches are well worth a visit  on a boat. Vathi on Meganisi is very pretty. The Maraboo beach bar in Nidri is lovely. We have loved our stay, people are so friendly.

Most outstanding views

Villa Tranquility has the most outstanding views down to the port and over the sea. Even better than the pictures. The villa itself is perfectly equipped and delightfully furnished. The pool is perfect. It is modern and very stylish. Barbara, the local host is delightful. We loved our stay – every day was perfect. Sivota itself is a charming port with plenty of places to eat right on the harbour side.

We feel privileged

We feel privileged and lucky beyond words to have stayed at such a beautiful villa with such friendly and welcoming hostess who would do anything fro you. Barbara and her family made our stay an unforgettable and the meal Barbara cooked for one of our parties was the best meal of our stay! We can only dream of one day having the opportunity come back. Thank you.

Decadent breakfast at Sivota Bakery

Firstly Barbara, thank you for being such an attentive host. We have had such a wonderful week, a holiday has been made perfect by the views, the people and island. The food at Sivota Bakery is so good. You can go wrong with any of the restaurants, but if you want a decadent breakfast Sivota Bakery. Their almond cookies were amazing.

Exceptional villa

Exceptional villa in a beautiful location with outstanding views. Short walk to the lovely village of Sivota with fabulous bakery and restaurants. The drive up to the villa is ridiculously steep, we advise you to go for a good size car, we had small cars and when they were full of luggage we struggled to get up the hill. The outdoor space is large with a lovely pool, Barbara was very helpful and left us lots of welcome gifts. We advise you to rent a boat from sivota and go out and explore the neighbouring islands and beaches. This was a magical stay, if you are looking for a peaceful villa on Lefkada look no further than Villa Nirvana.

Fabuleus villa

Fabuleus villa(s), fabuleus views, fabuleus friends!! An absolutely restorative two weeks with the delighted Barbara on hand to make everything run so smoothly for us all. Our first night meal will go down as one of the finest feasts prepared by one for so many!! Thank you Barbara and thank you to all our friends for making this yet another truly memorable holiday.

Not enough superlatives

Not enough superlatives exist to describe our two weeks stay at Villa Tranquility. Everything exceeded our expectations. Firstly thank you so much to Barbara for all your help and wealth of experience of the property and area and such useful local contacts. The fresh fish purveyed for a BBQ was excellent, such good value. Sivota, Lefkada is just a fantastic place and the people the best in the world. Lastly the views are unbelievable. A memory which will last forever.

Incredible stay

We had the most incredible stay at this villa! The pool, the terrace and the views are breathtaking! Barbara was so, so helpful – all of her recommendations were amazing! The town of Sivota was perfect, with a good atmosphere and great food. It is worth noting that the road up to the Villa is extremely steep so you need a decent hire car and a confident driver!

J. Richards and friends from the United Kingdom, Villa Nirvana

Unforgettable, just very good!

The location, the view, the villa and the exceptional approach. Everything was excellent. Only the wood at the pool could be scraped off. It was very rough in places and you could travel through spit in your skin.

N. Schiemann and friends from Germany, Villa Tranquility

Superb place

Superb place. Amazing views. Excellent facilities and a very helpful hostess. Great recommendations. The only issue is the very steep road.

Marjon’s villa is superb!

Marjon’s villa is superb! The views are incredible and you can find everything you need and more. The road going up is a bit scary the first time, but you get use to it. Communication was great from the beginning and Barbara the host was always a text/call away to help in any way.

I. Monte and friends from Australia, Villa Tranquility

The villa is hi-spec

We stayed at Villa Tranquility. The villa itself is beautiful and incredibly hi-spec. The views are stunning and the pool was fantastic. We were welcomed by Barbara who was very nice and incredibly helpful with local recommendations. It is at the top of a steep road so you need a powerful car with reasonable clearance to make it possible. You get used to it after a few drives. The bay at Sivota is also great with a good selection of really good tavernas which Barbara can recommend. Overall, I would highly recommend the villa and Marjon as host.

Highly recommended

Excellent, well equipped villa with very good communication from the owner and property’s manager. Highly recommended. The location and views are spectacular. The driveway up to the villa is very steep, a bit intimidating at first but no problem when you get used to it.

The villa is faultless

We had the most incredible stay at this breathtaking villa. Views are like nothing we’ve seen before and the villa is faultless. Barbara our host was beyond helpful and would recommend to our family and friends. The route up is not for the faint hearted, so would recommend a decent hire car!

A great place to wind down

Our expectations have been exceeded

Today we leave after 10 fantastic days in this beautiful villa. The view and the villa have exceed our expectations. We also enjoyed the wonderful weather. Via Marjon we rented cars from Alex rent a car. Great service. The road to the villa turned out to be an obstacle, it did limit us a little. We have very good memories of these unforgettable days in Sivota.

Perfectly equipped villa

Perfectly equipped villa with absolutely stunning view and beautiful weather. Also the village Sivota is very pleasant. The road to the villa is not great. You get used to it after a few days, but it doesn’t seem easy for older people. The host Barbara provides a carefree and pleasant holiday.
