Villa Peratia (Preveza)

Peratia is a small settlement on mainland Greece, directly opposite Lefkada island. The village is quiet, the orientation is west-facing, and from the veranda of this three-storey villa, the view stretches across the strait to the island’s wooded ridge. In the evenings, the light over the water is what this property was built for.

Set on a 1,176 sqm plot and completed in 2005, the property develops across three floors with 150.10 sqm of living space above a 112.25 sqm garage and storage level. The main living floor brings together the sitting room, dining area, and kitchen in a single connected volume, with a stone fireplace at its centre and double-glazed patio doors opening onto a generous veranda. One bedroom and a bathroom are on this level, while a wooden staircase leads to two further bedrooms and a second bathroom above.

The technical specification is thorough: underfloor oil heating throughout all floors, air conditioning, double-glazed windows, and full insulation. The combination allows for genuine use beyond the summer season, including the shoulder months when the area is at its most relaxed. A building allowance of 137 sqm applies to the plot for buyers considering future expansion. The garage level, accessed both externally and via an internal staircase, provides 112.25 sq, of weatherproof vehicle and equipment storage, a detail that matters more the longer a property is used.

The garden has matured beautifully over time, with established trees providing natural shade throughout the warmer months and carefully maintained planting requiring minimal upkeep. A stone-built pergola shelters a built-in barbecue and traditional wood-fired oven, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The newly constructed swimming pool is perfectly positioned within the landscaped grounds, enjoying open views toward the water, while an upper-floor balcony offers an additional vantage point from which to enjoy the evening light and surrounding scenery.

Location - distances

For everyday needs, the harbour town of Vonitsa is approximately 30 minutes away by road: supermarkets, a pharmacy, fish tavernas along the waterfront, and a small marina. Lefkada island is connected to the mainland year-round by road, via a causeway and swing bridge. No ferry is needed. Lefkada Town, with its full range of services and restaurants, is a 15-20 minute drive.

Aktion/Preveza airport, which handles seasonal charter and low-cost connections from across Western Europe, is approximately 20 km from the property. Preveza, a pleasantly understated coastal city with a pedestrian waterfront, is 28 km to the north.
