Villa Petalouda

Perched in the quiet hamlet of Touliata, Villa Petalouda (Butterfly) promises more than just a holiday; it offers an experience deeply intertwined with nature. The name is apt, for come spring, one can witness the pastures below the villa turning into a vibrant canvas painted with poppies, wild rocket, camomile, and other spring flowers. The dance of the Petaloudas (Butterflies) adds a beautiful charm to this spectacle.

The villa’s architecture ensures that each of the two bedrooms on the lower level have direct access to a secluded pool, which is set against the stunning backdrop of sunsets over the sea and the white cliffs of the Lixouri Peninsula. The pool deck, equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, is nothing short of a haven. For those late-night snack cravings, a kitchenette next to the bedrooms negates the need to head to the main kitchen upstairs.

What stands out about Villa Petalouda is its commitment to inclusivity. It’s not every day you come across villas that not only possess lifts for those with mobility challenges but also have shower rooms designed to accommodate wheelchairs. This feature underscores the fact that the villa goes the extra mile to ensure comfort for all its guests.

A mere five-minute drive will lead guests to the unspoiled bays of Alaties and Agia Jerusalem. These beaches beckon with their crystal-clear waters and untouched beauty. If it's daily essentials or a quick bite you're after, the village of Manganos is only three minutes away. The village also offers tantalizing tavernas and a café-bar, providing ample dining options for those nights you prefer to eat out, plus a mini-market and a green grocer for stocking up on those everyday essentials.

For those seeking solace, a break from the monotony, or simply a brush with nature, Villa Petalouda stands out as an unparalleled choice. Perfectly positioned away from the clamour of city life, this villa promises not just a stay, but a cherished memory.
