Enjoying a blissful panorama across Polis Bay to Kefalonia, Lemonia Beach Villa is tucked into the hillside just a two-minute stroll from the water’s edge. The picturesque setting is the perfect showcase for the island’s natural beauty and the west-facing terrace is a dreamy venue for lounging and dining as you soak up the tantalising views. Down on the beach, a simple kantina is a charming spot for a bite to eat during the day and there are sunbeds available for stretching out with a book or taking a little nap while the waves lap gently against the shore. The colourful fishing boats moored up in the tiny harbour offer their daily catch and life here feels just as it’s meant to be – unhurried and contented.
The villa’s two en-suite bedrooms (one double and one twin) both have doors out onto the terrace and the living accommodation is spacious, well laid out and comfortable. Though Lemonia Beach Villa is one of a collection of three properties overlooking Polis Bay, it enjoys a good degree of privacy with everything needed for a relaxing break on this magical island. The traditional village of Stavros on the hill is a 5-minute drive or 25-minute walk away - perfect for everyday essentials and a small selection of tavernas. Charming Frikes by the water is a further 10-minute drive and offers a wider variety of dining options. Self-drive boat hire is readily available for exploring the island from the sea and back on terra firma our Local Concierge can advise on guided walks and art workshops which can be arranged on request.
Lemonia Beach Villa shares a driveway with Rhodia Beach Villa and Elia Beach Villa. The houses are independent and perfectly suited to private bookings but collectively, they also work well for multi-generational gatherings or groups of friends travelling together.
Please note; the pictures shown above are of Elia Beach Villa which is identical in layout and style to Lemonia Beach Villa and shares very similar views from the terrace.

Spacious and well equipped. Lemonia has suited us well. The views and just a short walk to lovely Polis bay have been lovely. We have loved every minute back on Ithaca – boat hire exploring Exogi, swimming, excellent meals, and with time to relax on this unspoiled island. We shall be back. Judith’s enthusiasm and support have been appreciated.
Undoubtedly the best holiday with Simpsons that we have had. The location of the villa was perfect for our needs. The Simpsons representative, Judith, was always contactable for any guidance that we needed and she shared her extensive knowledge of the wonderful island that is Ithaca.
We had a marvellous holiday at Lemonia Villa. The accommodation was spacious and very clean. The views were fantastic and it was a delight to have a beautiful beach just an easy 2-minute walk away. Simpson Travel's representative, Judith, really helped to make our holiday as smooth and enjoyable as possible. She had detailed knowledge of the island as only a local can and was able to give advice on restaurants and must see places to visit. She was always one step ahead and able to sort out our problems with Easyjet very quickly and efficiently. Even laying on our own personal sea taxi from Ithaca to Kefalonia to catch our altered flight. Thank you to everyone at Simpson Travel for another great holiday.
Fabulous quiet island and excellent accommodation. The Simpson's rep was brilliant and everything worked easily. The great thing with Simpsons is that you know that they make sure things work so you don't have to worry!
A lovely position; this villa was very spacious inside and out. Easy access to the beach and a short drive to the nearest village. One of the friendliest Greek islands we have ever visited.
Fantastic holiday from start to finish! The villa was exceptional: the location was breathtaking and the quality of the accommodation was outstanding. Simpson staff were extremely helpful and always on hand for advice, booking restaurants and sorting out additional car hire to cover a few extra days holiday at the end of the week. Highly recommended!
Our first visit to Ithaca and Simpson have done us proud. We felt very well looked after and wanted for nothing the entire 2 weeks. Judith our Simpson rep was always available and full of great tips and recommendations as to how we could enhance our trip. The standard of accommodation was excellent as was its location within 2 minutes walk of the beach. We have travelled with Simpson before and the standard remains very high and offers great value to the customer. We really did feel that our personal experience was important to Simpson. After 3 years without a holiday abroad we truly had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to recommend your company to others. Thank you!
Judith was great in Ithaca and David made our booking really easy. Would definitely holiday with Simpson again!
Everything was so seamless and it was all the little extra touches that made this holiday so great. Being met at the airport by the rep with a bottle of water, so simple yet so fantastic. The welcome food at the apartment was so thoughtful as we didn't have to worry about running out to the shops to get water and bits as it was enough for some afternoon snacks and breakfast. Loved cracking open the bottle of wine whilst we unpacked. The apartment itself was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need, again the little things like a cool box, tupperware and clingfilm, perfect for taking food out and about. The island of Ithaca was stunning, absolutely idyllic and the location of the apartment with a private 2 minute walk down to the beach was fantastic. It meant that when our boys (16 and 12) either wanted to go to the beach before us or come back early they could go by themselves. This holiday delivered on everything for my family and I am so impressed by the level of service and thought of Simpsons. Just amazing.
Lemonia villa was excellent as always. The villa has everything you could need and the views are outstanding. Judith the rep could not have done more to make sure that everything ran smoothly and that we had everything we needed. We would not hesitate to recommend Simpsons travel and we will definitely travel with them again.
Holidaying with Simpson is effortless. Everything is planned and catered for. We were due to go to Italy but Covid restrictions made this impractical. Simpson arranged an alternative holiday to Ithaca. It's a lovely, quiet island and the villa and location were delightful. Judith, the rep, is a fount of knowledge and helped enormously with advice and recommendations. A very relaxed week.
A glorious three week stay – to make up for not being able to travel last year! Ithaca is a dream come true – a wondrous isle. Great swims here in Polis, but also Frikes and Kioni. Wonderful walks – we really recommend the walk along the road from Anogli to the monastery. The views are divine! Fantastic fresh food from a host of tavernas. And, best of all, welcoming, warm and friendly people. The apartment was clean and spacious with amazing views. A final warm word of praise has to go to Judith – a travel rep ‘par excellence’. Nothing is too much trouble for her! We will be back.
Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
The fabled land of Homer’s Odyssey and a safe harbour through the ages for Romans, Venetians and Ottomans, Ithaca is historic to the core: a beach holiday destination that comes with an epic story to match its beautiful landscape. The sweeping panorama of Vathy’s bay and a shoreline of eucalyptus-shaded coves give way to undulating hills of pine, olive and cypress groves, whilst timeless rural life plays out in the island’s unspoilt interior, ensuring that Ithaca remains a place to truly relax.
To help you unwind in style, we offer a selection of handpicked luxury villas, giving your Ithaca holiday a welcome touch of comfort.
