Villa Astir

The little big island of Meganisi (as it translates) really is a firm favourite with our Ionian guests, thanks to its relaxed pace of life and genuine charm that hasn’t changed over decades. Aware of the need to protect this exquisite landscape, the locals seem to have perfected the art of building traditional stone houses with trendy modern cool interiors and Villa Astir is a perfect example of this clever style.

The house is at the top of a trio of villas, each with its own private pool and terrace, close to the glistening waters of Limonari Beach and all blessed with breathtaking views. The interiors are beautifully appointed with stylish soft furnishings making the open plan living/dining area an incredibly inviting space to relax and unwind in. The smart fully equipped kitchen is the perfect place to rustle up Greek delights during your stay not to mention the outdoor BBQ, an idyllic spot for lazy lunches and those dreamy suppers under the starlit Meganisi skies we all long for on our Greek island holiday. Villa Astir’s two spacious doubles bedrooms are on different levels ensuring an element of privacy, one on the ground floor with an ensuite shower room and a further bedroom in the eaves with its own shower room. Simply stunning!

Outside, a haven of tranquillity and beauty awaits. There is a fabulous pool surrounded by sunbeds where you can sit all day long and watch the everchanging view, passing fishing boats and yachts dropping anchor in the bay. The real beauty of Villa Astir is not just that it’s a stylish modern villa with spectacular views but its close proximity to the white pebbled beach at Limonari, it really is a fabulous and all this just a few minutes’ walk away from your villa! How perfect is that!  

Katomeri, your local village, just a few minutes’ drive away with its traditional architecture and local tavernas plus a mini market, where you can stock up on general supplies or perhaps enjoy a morning coffee before heading back the sanctuary of Villa Astir. Vathy the capital is a further short drive from Katomeri where you’ll find a bustling port with a yacht filled harbour front, a good choice of tavernas, cafes, bars and shops.  

If you are looking for a traditional villa with a modern twist, then you’ve definitely found it in Villa Astir.  Your stay here on this enchanting Ionian Island will create lasting memories, which is probably why so many return year after year to enjoy the little big island of Meganisi.

NB: Villa Astir sits separately in a small cluster of neighbouring villas that includes Villa Alas and Villa Alias which are both three-bedroom villas and identical in style.
