Levendi's Estate is a 7-acre organic farm offering absolute natural luxury for frazzled families and romantic couples.It is a unique holiday destination. Four houses scattered within the grounds and the many outdoor amenities of the Estate provide neither a villa holiday nor a 5-star resort. Rather, this eco-chic Estate offers the all the services of the latter combined with the privacy of the former, and much more. Holidays are individually designed to be exactly the holiday each guest is wanting: family summer fun, quiet romantic retreat, perhaps a first family holiday with babies or the opportunity for groups of friends to reserve the entire Estate.

Each house is set within its own mature garden setting, providing privacy for guests whilst communal areas on the Estate give opportunities to socialise. Within the property there is a mediterranean forest where hammocks sway in the sea breeze and a holistic treatments pavilion hides in the shade of towering cypress trees; there are open grassed terraces and a ball-games terrace; an outdoor cooking and dining area from which to appreciate balmy summer evenings in the company of good friends and family; a separate farm paddock, orchards and vegetable gardens are working areas of the Estate; and a quite separate area will provide you with a magnificent infinity edged salt water pool area with shaded and sun terraces. The Estate gives different spaces for everyone to enjoy, and where children feel free to roam, explore and play within the safe and secure grounds of the Estate. Beyond the Estate your choices of holiday activities are wide: scuba diving, sea kayaking, boating, sea excursions and a choice of the many small pebbled beaches which dot the island's coast giving you your own beach with gin-clear water, even in peak season.

About the neighbourhood
Levendi's is on the northern shores of the Greek island of Ithaca. It is a 7 acre eco-chic farm which sits quietly in a tranquil valley backed by mountains and gazing over an impossibly blue bay. Limestone cliffs opposite display hues of pinks and golds at sunset and islands are across the sea in the distant north. The Estate's tranquil location ensures a complete lack of traffic and people noise, the soothing rhythm of waves lapping the shore below being the only accompaniament to deep silence. Within a 10-minute walk either side of the property there are two swimming coves and a cafe-bar which caters to those who enjoy fresh ingredients creatively combined into delightful evening meals in an equally delightful star-lit environment.
