This 170-year-old house has been renovated to match the exact materials and architecture used on the old houses of Lefkada but without missing any of the modern amenities and comforts needed for a pleasant and carefree vacation on the island. Walk through the venetian alleys and experience the local life of the historical center. Get familiar with the island customs and products and be close to restaurants and to the nearby crystal blue water beaches. 

The house has a combination of a vintage-rustic modern aesthetic with many furniture and other details to make it cozy and  functional. It has 2 levels with 1 master bedroom and a queen bed, 1 spacious living room with 2 sofas and a chair bed that sleeps 1 person, an open plan kitchen with a dinning table for 6, 1 bathroom w/ bathtub and shower on the attic, garden and  barbecue. 

The floor on the living room is made of cork which is a healthy and durable material as well as soundproofed. The living room has mild colors and has its own private wooden balcony. There is a wooden sofa that you can lay down and watch a movie or chill out with friends, there is also a 1 big chair bed (1,10cm x 2,00cm), 2 arm chairs, 1 double sofa, 1 office table and 1 dinning table for 6 persons. 

The air-condition unit and the ceiling fan will make the hot days cooler. The working fireplace and central heating will on the other hand make the cold days warmer. There is a brand new 43' Sony 4k TV as well as HDMI cables and mini jack audio wires for your laptop/smartphone/iPod device . The high speed WiFi internet available 24h (35MBs) will make things easier for every guest.

The kitchen has all the necessary appliances/pots/utensils  to make your daily cooking life more convenient. There is also a coffee maker and an espresso machine with coffee tabs as well as a dishwasher and a washing machine. The big dining table will make you feel more comfortable during breakfast/lunch/dinner.

There are wooden stairs coming from the living area to the master bedroom in the attic. The master bedroom has a brand new mattress with multiple springs for 2 persons which is very comfortable for sleeping. It has also an air-condition unit and a ceiling fan. There is a big closet and a drawer furniture for your clothes. The bathroom has a vintage type of bathtub with an installed shower-head to enjoy your shower.

The garden/yard is a very special place to relax under the shadow. During the night you can also have candles for a more romantic atmosphere in the occasion of a dinner. The yard has also an outdoor shower.

The house has 3 floors. The rental home is on the 1st/2nd floor of the house and it is accessed from the yard's main entrance. By entering the yard there are stone stairs to reach the 1st floor and the private entrance of the rental home.  

The ground floor is separated from the 1st floor and is occupied by a bookshop which also has its own private entrance and exit door to the garden/yard. The yard is typically shared with the bookshop's staff mostly during working days/hours (9am to 5pm), so if you are a bibliophile you may have a nice book- conversation with them. Also on some occasions you might be lucky to see an evening event in the garden. 

Both floors have their own privacy and independence. Additionally, the 1st floor (rental home) has a soundproofed floor so it's not possible to hear any sounds or noises coming from the bookshop or vice-versa. You will both be able to enjoy your quiet or loud moments  :) Just keep in mind that from 14:30 pm to 17:30 p.m. and from 23:00 pm to 08:00 am it's the siesta time (quiet hours) in Lefkada.

There is a self check in process and you will collect the keys yourself from a lockbox located in the entrance.
