Ferienhaus mavie in Ionische Inseln, Lefkada, Tsoukalades / GR – Greece

Holiday home mavie

The holiday house mavie on the Greek island of Lefkada evokes asso­cia­tions with an elegant ocean liner. The building con­sists of several cubes arranged in a row, and a slightly twisted cuboid structure stacked above them.

You enter the house on the upper level, which is glazed on three sides and resembles a command bridge. From the living room with a sitting area, kitchen and dining area, you can enjoy views of the Ionian Sea, the city of Lefkada, and the mainland. The colours of the fur­nis­hings refer to the blue of the water and sky, and the green of the cypresses and pines. A spiral staircase leads to the lower level, where there is another living area as well as four bed­rooms (each with its own bathroom). These are housed within cubes and are con­nected via a long cor­ridor, which follows the sloped topo­graphy of the site with a slight cur­vature. It is lit through windows to the outside between each cube. In front of the bed­rooms, which all have sea views, there is an open portico and a terrace with a 20-metre infinity pool.

Thanks to its hillside location and shading and ven­ti­lation faci­lities, mavie does not require air con­di­tioning in summer. In winter, under­floor heating pro­vides warmth.

What to do

Beaches, windsurfing and kitesurfing, a marina in the town of Lefkada, hiking, cycling, visiting the surrounding mountain villages. The island is connected to the mainland via a swing bridge.

Why we like this house

Exceptional architecture, which is characterized by transparency and lightness, but also offers private spaces to retreat to. Magnificent views and the pool on the terrace make this the perfect holiday destination. 

This house is great for

Families and couples, water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Ein fan­tas­ti­sches Haus, um eine wun­derbare, erholsame Zeit zu haben. Ein traum­hafter Blick aufs Meer, beein­dru­ckende Archi­tektur, sehr gute Aus­stattung und zudem ein sehr netter Kontakt zu den Ver­mietern. Wir kommen wieder!
