Resort Description
Katouna is a very beautiful village set in a slightly elevated position, affording spectacular sea views down over the nearby beach of Ligia.
There is a small traditional taverna in the village and a colourful and charismatic village square where the locals sit under the shade of the plain trees on the hot summer evenings playing backgammon whilst sipping a refreshment, and the children play happily in this mostly traffic free space.
The coastal village of Ligia, (1.5km) boasts some of the finest fish tavernas on the island plus a number of mini markets, bakeries and shops. Katouna truly is in a privileged location, being almost equidistant from both Lefkas town and Nidri, where a vast array of shops and an eclectic choice of restaurants can be found. For those who enjoy walking, painting or just whiling away their time, then Katouna is a perfect village to visit.

Had a great time at Drepanou Bay Villa. The villa was well equipped, spacious and in a great location. Together the Solmar rep and the owner provided great support and regular cleaning of the villa and pool - without being intrusive. The island and its surrounds provide a wealth of attractions and beaches and local amenities were all excellent.

Wow. what can I say, the gorgeous views, the thought that had been put into everything, the outdoor areas, including outdoor kitchen and extra barbecue! The pool was amazing. And did I say the views, Absolutely fantastic. Great book of advice and we added our own gems too. Ligia and Katouna were both fab, Ligia had the little port and some great restaurants and also little beach area. Makis was excellent for views, food and a great host. Katouna was a village steeped back in time, and had an excellent taverna very quaint and very greek!

The location was stunning. The view from the villa was perfect and the house was built to take advantage of that from every room. I chose it because I like a quiet spot but I want to see the sea. This villa was perfect.

HOTS and NOTS about the Villa Drepanou Bay and the island of Lefkada. HOTS 1. The villa is exactly as it appears on the website. It's gorgeous! 2. The cleaner came on both Sunday and Wednesday, so the place was pristine. We weren't expecting a midweek cleaner (a pool cleaner came too), so this was very generous of the owner. 3. The views. Omg, the views. The photos don't do it justice. We barely read our books because any time we weren't looking at the views felt like a waste. 4. The villa isn't overlooked at all (apart from the master bedroom balcony, which can be seen from a neighbouring villa). We're pretty casual about nudity, so this was a massive plus. 5. The kitchen is well equipped, with plenty of crockery and cutlery. 6. The beds are excellent. We had two people with serious back issues, and we didn't suffer at all. 7. The island is beautiful and very unspoilt. We drove into Nidri about five days into the holiday and were shocked to discover that there is a concentration of tourists and a few tourist trap shops and bars. Until then, we'd been eating at tavernas with the locals and loving it. 8. Everyone is very friendly and generous. In restaurants we were given small bottles of spirit to take home, in bakeries they pressed upon us additional bags of biscuit or cake. We loved the Greek attitude and did our best to be the same in return. 9. The waterfall at Nidri. Our best day out and highly recommended. 10. The mountaintop restaurant at Rachi with the BEST views ever. 11. Considering we were on a small island, the wifi in the villa was excellent. 12. The villa is high up in the hills and the air quality is superb, not muggy at all. NOTS 1. The bath towels are tiny, far too small to wrap around our chubby bodies. It's fortunate we had four people in a villa for eight, because we had to use some of the pool towels as bath towels. Perhaps the owner would consider obtaining some decent sized bath sheets? That would be wonderful. Efcharistó! 2. The cats are a nuisance. I love cats, and even I found them a nuisance. You can't get in or out of the kitchen door within tripping over them, all begging for food. You can't leave anything on an outdoor table even for a minute, there has to be a guard. We lost a pat of butter that way the first day. There are a minimum of four, maybe as many as six at any given time, and they are so thin it breaks my heart. The owner told us that he feeds them over winter, so that they stick around and deal with local rats and snakes in summer. This is not unusual in any part of Greece. Every restaurant we went to, our meals were punctuated by cats. If you ordered fish, they were practically forming a pyramid. If you don't like (or are afraid of) cats, Greece is not the place for you. 3. Biting insects. The villa is surrounded by bushes and olive trees and (despite liberal application of repellent and some experiments with avoiding certain perfumed products) we got significantly nibbled on. I'd recommend to other visitors - move the loungers away from the side where the plants are. It helped quite a bit. 4. Switchback roads going up and down the mountains to get anywhere. We were fortunate to have a confident driver. Not for the fainthearted!

My family and I had the most fantastic one week holiday in Lefkas. . Although we travelled off season and the weather was very temperamental we still had a great time largely due to the villa. It is absolutely gorgeous with everything you could possible need provided; the pictures although great do not do it justices. The views from the villa were incredible. We can?t wait to book our next Greek holiday and if we return to Lefkas we?ll want to stay at the Villa Dreponau Bay.

Rated: Excellent. Could not fault this villa. Modern and immaculate. Great views of sea and mountains. 6 or 7 minutes drive to Lefkas town and about 15 minutes to the tourist resort of Nidri. For freshly cooked food, visit the Cosy 7 Gelateria and Bar, which is the green building you can see below the villa. Walk through the bar to tables on the lawn next to the sea. Turn right at the main road and about 1 minutes drive.

lovely villa, lovely spot- altho' we did need a car. Good to have 2 sets of towels and stuff like plenty of washing up liquid, washing and DW tablets, toilet rolls etc all there. Great Rep that was very quick to respond when we had a couple of queries and problems. We weren't aware we were going to get a full clean and sheet change half-way thro' the week and it would have been good to know when they were arriving as it was first thing in the morning and we weren't up!

Drepanou Bay is the only villa we have ever returned to. It's setting is perfect. Every time you look up there is the most beautiful view. The villa is maintained at a very high standard. The pool is wonderful and the house immaculate. We were with grown up daughters and their boyfriends and we were all able to completely relax in the spacious house. We would definitely go here again.

The villa was beautiful. Well equipped, clean and bright, with a good sized pool. The views are amazing. The village of Katouna is a good 15 minute uphill walk, and the little cafe is lovely. There is one Taverna which we didn’t try and other than that, you do have to drive or take a taxi. There were a couple of areas that could improve it. 1. The safe was not secured to anything so could have simply been carried away. 2. Most holidaymakers want to shower, so a proper shower and shower curtain over the bath would have prevented splashing on the floor and made the large bedroom more attractive. 3. An umbrella for the large outdoor table would be useful. These are minor points, meant to be constructive feedback for the owners. We would hire this villa again.

This villa is amazing. We have been on several villa holidays and the views from this villa are outstanding. It was well equipped, clean and beautifully furnished. A plus point is the mid week clean including linen, towels and a full clean of the villa (which you wouldn't expect for a week). Trish the Rep for Solmar is brilliant. Suggested lots of things to do and places to eat and even helped with reservations and taxis. The children loved the pool and hammock and there is plenty of space to play. Taxis were expensive so if you don't want to drive on an evening, factor this in. Lefkas is a lovely island with lots to do with beautiful beaches, towns, and villages.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week the villa had everything we needed and our only issue was that finding it on arrival in the dark was difficult as there are no signs and bnot even a name on the entrance. The situstion is stunning and the villa is spacious clean and very well equipped. Thoroughly recommend
