If you're looking for a truly special place to stay in Lefkada, look no further than Pura Vida. From the moment we arrived, we knew we'd found somewhere extraordinary.
The villa is absolutely stunning. Every room has been beautifully designed and furnished to an exceptional standard, with every detail carefully considered. The facilities are outstanding, the pool is perfect, and the panoramic views are simply breathtaking. It's one of those places where you could happily spend hours just soaking in the scenery.
What really made our stay unforgettable, though, were the hosts, Ben and Nina. They are quite simply exceptional. Warm, welcoming and always on hand with fantastic recommendations, their knowledge of Lefkada is second to none. Their passion for the island shines through, and thanks to their advice we experienced some truly incredible beaches, restaurants and hidden gems.
Pura Vida is the perfect destination for a relaxing holiday with family or a memorable getaway with friends. We left feeling completely refreshed and already talking about when we can return. Thank you, Ben and Nina, for creating such a wonderful place and for making our stay so special. We genuinely can't wait to come back.

A suberb villa with parking a short drive from Nidri. The views from the sunny terrace, outside eating area and infinity pool that all look out over the sea and several islands are breathtaking. Inside the open plan lounge / dining / kitchen has everything that you could possibly need. Upstairs the two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite are simply luxurious. Similarly the the separate annexe with its double bedroom and en-suite. We will definitely be back.

Simply amazing! The view is unreal. We are lucky to have stayed in such a pristine and well decorated property. The property is extremely well equipped and has anything you would need plus more. You can tell the hosts have a great passion for what they do. The property was immaculate as was the pool. You will not regret booking your holiday here!!

That view!!
Our family of five rented Pura Vida this summer as a place to relax after an adventurous week-long sailing holiday, and it was everything we needed.
We knew from the photos that the villa was going to be amazing, but the reality is even better. Every room is incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the whole villa is beautifully designed. The layout means you can all be together, whether you’re in the pool, relaxing outside or sitting around the dining table.
And then there’s that view! Waking up every morning and looking out across the mountains and down towards the sea was pretty special. My wife banned me from repeatedly saying “that view” but I couldn’t help it!
Ben and Nina are brilliant hosts; friendly, helpful and always happy to recommend a restaurant, beach or activity, while still giving you complete privacy to enjoy the villa. We rented a car, which I’d definitely recommend. From the villa it’s an easy drive down into town, where there are loads of different restaurants to choose from, as well as plenty of places to explore nearby.
For anyone who loves running or walking like I do, there are also some fantastic routes straight from the villa, taking you up and over the surrounding mountains. Although be prepared for some hills!
We absolutely loved our time at Pura Vida and I’d highly recommend it to any family or couple looking for somewhere beautiful to properly switch off.
I’m pretty sure I’d still be staring at that view if I could.

Stunning home, incredible views. Home was stocked with everything you could need and Nina was a very hospitable hostess.
