"Violent and aggressive owner, he was hardly raised our hands, dirty apartments and the water of the services that smells. At 7:30 the lady came to press the door by a violent knocking, woke up my 5-year-old daughter, trying to leave the room, despite check-out at 10 a.m. as written on the site and on the booking."

"You have read all the glowing reviews of Villa Elia, and they are quite right, it’s a lovely resort, clean and comfy, nice and peaceful too but there are many things that it would have been useful to know before arrival, I hope this helps. The area though close to Lefkas feels a little cut off, the roads are tiny and narrow, there are no footpaths and no public transport so unless you rent a car or use taxis you’ll be restricted in your options. There are mozzies, when you are out and about you will get bitten, though our room is mozzie free. The nearest shop is 15 minutes away along narrow roads, it is also extremely expensive, a small box of Alpen muesli costs €6.90, a litre of milk €2.70 and the bakery sells stale food, I had the worst cheese pie I have had in 20 years of coming to Greece. Unfortunately there are no other shops in the area so they can get away with scamming tourists. The Tui rep,Seesee, is fantastic, she met us at the airport and travelled on the coach with us to Lefkada where we had to transfer to a minibus as the coaches cannot get close to Villa Elia, this does mean that any trips you book through Tui will mean you have to walk to the supermarket for pick up and back from there on return. There are not many local tavernas, perhaps four or five within easy walking distance, the food at Villa Elia is excellent though. Inflation hasn’t ignored Greece, it’s 6 euro for a large Mythos at the pool bar. Don’t forget a torch for evening walking. Car hire costs €362 for 7 days all included (smallest car from Avis via Tui, see the rep) the hotel can also arrange car hire which could possibly be a cheaper option. I hope this hasn’t put you off as Villa Elia itself is lovely."
