The garden/yard is a very special place to relax under the shadow. During the night you can also have candles for a more romantic atmosphere. You can also use the barbecue in the occasion of a dinner.

Guest access

The house has 3 floors. The rental home is on the 1st/2nd floor of the house and it is accessed from the yard's main entrance. By entering the yard there are stone stairs to reach the 1st floor and the private entrance of the rental home.  

The ground floor is separated from the 1st floor and is occupied by a bookshop which also has its own private entrance and exit door to the garden/yard. The yard is typically shared with the bookshop's staff mostly during working days/hours (9am to 5pm), so if you are a bibliophile you may have a nice book- conversation with them. Also on some occasions you might be lucky to see an evening event in the garden. 

Both floors have their own privacy and independence. Additionally, the 1st floor (rental home) has a soundproofed floor so it's not possible to hear any sounds or noises coming from the bookshop or vice-versa. You will both be able to enjoy your quiet or loud moments  :) Just keep in mind that from 14:00 pm to 17:00 p.m. and from 22:00 pm to 08:00 am it's the siesta time (quiet hours) in Lefkada.
