Overview
Villa Octavius, Lefkas Island , Greece
Villa Octavius completed during winter 2007 with its spectacular hilltop location and only few minutes from coastal resort of Nidri with its beaches, restaurants and nightlife, offers unobstructed views over the sea to the islands of Scorpio, Madouri and Sparti.
The villa has many large spaces to relax from the 200m2 swimming pool patio to the private hammock tower and the walled jacuzzi hot tub garden.
Villa Octavius has been designed to give many private areas to relax in. Shaded outdoor dining area with a table for 10/12 persons overlooks the sea and islands. With lush garden areas and gated parking. Villa Octavius really does offer the space for you to relax.
Two years ago Steve the owner and designer commissioned Maranda Holland Cooper, an English designer to work with him on the landscaping and interior of the villa. Miranda has bought her own style to the villa combined with Steve's unique history together they've bought this villa into the exclusive market of 'Art Villas'.
If you are looking for a luxury home, the real Greece, peace and tranquility but close enough to the hustle and bustle of a busy town and tourist destination the villa is ideal.
Accessibility
Due to the number of steps in the villa gardens, and the fact that the villa is on top of a hill this villa is unsuitable for people with walking difficulties.
Outside
A private 45m2 swimming pool is located on a 200m2 patio with barbecue. Also on this patio there is a shaded dining area. 10 sunbeds are included in this area as well. Steps lead to to a very private walled jacuzzi garden, two sides of this garden give you views of the dramatic high mountains to the west over a olive grove valley. The best time for the jacuzzi is at night as the night sky and stars are stunning! Villa Octavius has many stone terraces with flower beds on all corners. Scented flowers and herbs are all around together with palms and bird of paradise flowers.
At night special plants give off lovely scents. The BBQ is located by the swimming pool and is a great place to have a party. (A chef can be arranged for any meals or parties that you may wish to have (price on request). A large gated parking area has lush garden borders.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.



I travelled with my husband and 6 year old daughter, my brother and sister-in-law and my 85 year old father. We have stayed in many villas over the years (we go one holiday as a family group once a year) but none as stunning as this one.
It did rain for 12 days out of our 14, but Steve and Monica (the owners) couldn't do enough for us. They brought games and DVD's for us, Steve went and got us boxes of wine to keep in the fridge and he even took us out on his boat which was amazing. He's lived on the island for 30 years and is a hive of information, he took us around all the islands showing us facinating things along with way, he took us into caves and also to a lovely little beach for lunch, where you can only access by boat. He also had with him a large clear glass tank which he filled with water then went snorkelling for sea creatures. He brought octopus, sea cucumber and starfish which he put in the tank and then told us all about them before releasing them back again - my daughter was facinated!
Another bonus for us was that he owns a hughe telescope and brought it to us one evening then proceeded to teach us all about the consilations etc. Again, facinating and made us feel really special (I'm sure he does it with everyone though!)
Anyway, I'm in danger of pratteling on and on (I'm just back you see) but I just wanted to say, never could I recommend a place highly enough. The villa is beautiful and spotless, with many extras that you don't expect when hiring a villa - there was tea, coffee, sugar, various herbs and spices in the cupboards, a drinks cabinet with Jack Daniels, Martini, Ozo, Vodka etc. plus there is even lovely shower gel, body lotions, shampoo etc. in the bathrooms. You don't even have to go and buy loo roll, dishwasher tabs, washing powder etc. it's all there.
We will definately return - and hopefull will get some sun the next time!
