We have just returned from a wonderful week in Sivota. The area is beautiful and Villa Amalia was perfect for our family of 3. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Sivota itself is a short walk away down..."
Another excellent Simpson Travel Holiday. We've had a lovely week at Villa Amalia, Sivota. Very nice Villa, in great location, with good views. Concierge Theodora, friendly, really helpful and informative."
This is our first visit to Sivota and we have loved it! The harbour walks and evening dinners watching sunsets never get boring… stunning. We enjoyed a half-day hire of a boat and visited lots of beaches – best was snorkeling in the turquoise Piscina..."

Situated on the edge of Sivota village, very close to the peaceful bay of Karvouno, Villa Amalia is one of a pair of innovative contemporary villas just 150m from a sandy beach. The house is light and bright, with fully retractable glass doors that open onto the terrace and a generously-sized private pool. All floors have a balcony or access to terraces, and with an additional living area and kitchenette on the lower floor, this villa is an excellent choice for a couple or a family with older children, who might also enjoy the freedom of being able to wander down to the beach bar and restaurant close by.
This is the perfect location for a lazy holiday for those who don’t wish to drive: just a 10-minute stroll into Sivota, with its pretty harbour and numerous tavernas, cafés and bars whilst groceries can be delivered from the local supermarket. Some excellent excursions can be taken – from a tour of the ancient world heritage sights in Albania to a private yacht for the day around Paxos and Anti Paxos.
Villa Amalia is entirely separate from neighbouring Villa Loukas, and screened by hedges for privacy, though both properties may also be combined to offer a spacious solution for two families or a group of friends.
