Above the bay of Syvota on the southern coastline of Lefkada, this contemporary hillside residence looks across a chain of small green islands and deep Ionian inlets, with panoramic sea views extending far into the open water beyond. Positioned high above the coastline, the property combines a strong sense of privacy with a constant visual connection to the landscape, while the surrounding hillsides remain densely planted with olive trees and Mediterranean vegetation.
The architecture is modern yet restrained, using pale stone, white render and large glazed openings that keep the focus firmly on the setting outside. Arranged across approximately 170 sqm (1,830 sqft), the house is oriented entirely towards the sea, with the principal living spaces opening directly onto broad terraces overlooking the bay. High ceilings and carefully positioned openings allow natural light to move gradually through the interiors across the day, while the elevated position captures the prevailing sea air during the summer months.
The main living area combines sitting, dining and kitchen spaces within a calm open-plan layout designed around the surrounding views rather than formal separation between rooms. Wide sliding doors open fully onto the terraces, allowing the interior and exterior spaces to function almost as one continuous environment. Throughout the house, the sea remains visible beyond the terraces and pool, while the neutral material palette reinforces the simplicity of the architecture.
Three bedrooms and three bathrooms continue the same architectural language of clean lines, natural materials and direct orientation towards the landscape. Several bedrooms open onto private terraces overlooking the bay, while full-height glazing allows the changing colours of the sea, sky and surrounding hillsides to become part of the atmosphere of the interior throughout the day. Bathrooms are understated and contemporary, finished in stone and warm timber tones with integrated detailing and soft lighting.
The outdoor areas form the centre of the property during the summer season. A long infinity-edge pool projects towards the horizon, visually merging with the Ionian below, while broad stone terraces create multiple areas positioned around the changing light and views across the coastline. A shaded dining terrace sits slightly elevated above the pool, facing west across the bay as the evening light settles over the water and the surrounding islands gradually become more defined against the sea.
The surrounding land remains largely natural, with low planting and dry stone retaining walls allowing the coastline and uninterrupted views to remain the dominant presence throughout the property. The elevated position creates an unusual balance between openness and seclusion, while remaining within easy reach of nearby beaches, Syvota harbour and the sailing routes of the Ionian Islands.
