Big thanks to Simpson Travel and the excellent staff I dealt with in booking our holiday. The villa was perfect for our needs and fitted our criteria very well. I will certainly be booking with you again."
We had a wonderful holiday in Lefkada – what a brilliant destination! Villa Santolina was just lovely: really comfortable, beautifully maintained, and the perfect place to relax. The Ionian Coast is simply stunning, and we loved exploring..."
We have had a very relaxing week at Villa Santolina. Yiannis has been fantastic – booking a fantastic day boating and lots of beach and restaurant advice. Nothing has been too much trouble and it’s been really valuable. Everything has been thought of..."

Villa Santolina is one of a cluster of three architect-designed properties that make up Arenaria Villas, along with Villa Oleana and Villa Porphyra, tucked into the hillside at the southern end of Ayios Ioannis beach. Each house is entirely independent of the others, with its own pool and sea-facing terrace, though Santolina, being the highest, commands the most privacy and the best views.
The villa has been finished with stylish restraint both inside and out, with cool pool lighting adding a touch of glamour to your evening drinks on the terrace. If you’ve brought the family or are travelling with friends, this is an unbeatable spot for a long lazy lunch or a simple dinner in the velvety warmth of an Ionian evening. It’s also a really indulgent choice for a couple, with a four-poster master bedroom and terrace taking up the entire top floor.
We’ve included a car for ease and maximum independence, but the real beauty of Santolina is that it’s just a few minutes’ walk from Ayios Ioannis beach, a kilometre-long stretch of pale sand and fine pebbles washed by famously bright blue sea. If the wind is up, the local kite surfers will put on quite a display, but if it gets too breezy on the bay you can retreat to the shelter of your terrace in a matter of minutes - ideal if you have teenagers keen to enjoy a little freedom to come and go as they please. You’ll also find a few tavernas within walking distance, with a much wider choice of restaurants in Lefkada town, just ten minutes away by car.
