Levendis Estate is a 7 acre private, gated country estate on the shores of the Greek Ionian island of Ithaca. Offering guests a unique island hideaway, it is neither country hotel nor seaside villa, yet at Levendis youll experience the hospitality, services and comforts of the former, together with the privacy of the latter. It is perfect for summer-time family holidays, idyllic honeymoons or other romantic special occasion holidays, family reunions and for tranquil soul-recharging breaks from hectic lives.

Perched on a hillside of the northern-most tip of the island, Levendis is a working Estate which has produced organic olive oil for four generations. Its grounds stretch from the shoreline up the hillside of a quiet wooded valley, providing seascape views and offering guests the seclusion and privacy of a country estate, with the added benefit of the sea directly below, and villages within 3 kilometres. Accommodation and facilities have have recently been added to the property. Four houses scattered throughout the groves provide quality accommodation for the most discerning guest. Each is set within its own perfumed garden terraces; and outdoor lawn lounges in the shade of trees, along with a summer dining area on vined terraces, take full advantage of spectacular sea views. Footpaths wander throughout the Estate connecting the houses with a morning coffee shop, organic herb and vegetable gardens, an outdoor cooking and refectory dining area, a separate farm area, an infinity pool with shaded colonnade, sun terrace and summer house, and further through a native forest where a massage pavilion is secretly hidden, and hammocks and relaxation areas are in shaded glens. In yet another direction, a small pebbled swimming cove is at the end of a 10 minute walk through forests and groves.

Each house has comfortable accommodation for up to five people. A daily maid service, cars and private airport transfers are included in all tariffs. On request staff will arrange child care and/or full nanny service, the services of a cook and/or home-cooked meal deliveries, picnic hampers, motor boat hire, walking trail maps and advice, fresh bread deliveries daily, and they are happy to share their knowledge of cooking with locally-sourced products to produce traditional fare. The morning coffee shop provides a more social alternative to breakfasting in your own house spontaneous symposia often continue until early afternoon, a lazy afternoon by the pool or on the sea, and then its time for long, pre-dinner aperitifs followed by dining under the stars days are loaded with tranquillity and the most difficult decision is whether to wander to the pool or stay on the lawn lounge and start another book!!

Levendis provides you total privacy with immeasurable tranquillity and beauty set within the idyllic backdrop of Homers legendary island. Whether you are planning a holiday for your family, a group of friends, a romantic retreat or an extended-family holiday, Levendis is a unique environment for a perfect holiday in any season.

Geographically spectacular, the island is mostly ignored by summer throngs. Consisting of three heavily wooded mountains which plunge into crystal clear waters, the indented coastline provides many small swimming coves which, even in high summer, are often yours for the day. Most are accessible only by motor dinghy and all provide idyllic long days of lazy snorkelling and swimming.

Within 3 km of Levendis there are three villages which provide a wide choice of tavernas for evening dining by the sea; or for spending late afternoons idly watching the life of the village from the comfort of a shaded outdoor café.
