Red Tower Hotel
Stone-paved poolside terrace with sea-view balconies
About this hotel
The stone-paved terrace around Red Tower's pool sets a different tone from the newer aparthotels nearby, closer to a traditional village hotel than a boutique stay, with every room's balcony looking out over the Ionian Sea. Rooms and suites run bright and tastefully decorated, some with a spacious living area for longer stays, and a café plus a snack bar by the pool cover food and drink through the day. The village of Nydri, with its harbour and day-trip boats, is a three-kilometre drive south, and Lefkada Town sits fourteen kilometres north for a bigger night out. Free on-site parking and WiFi in public areas round out the practical basics.

Our take
This is a solid pick for travellers who want a straightforward, traditional-feeling hotel stay with a sea view from every balcony, rather than an aparthotel-style self-catering setup. The three-kilometre drive to Nydri keeps day-trip boats within easy reach. Guests wanting a kitchenette for cooking in should look at KN Ionian Suites or La Casa Di Nonna Anna instead, since Red Tower's café and snack bar are built for eating out rather than in.
- ✓Ask for a room with the spacious living area if you're staying more than a few nights and want extra space.
- ✓Use the snack bar by the pool for lunch rather than driving the three kilometres into Nydri every day.
- ✓Drive to Lefkada Town for an evening out at least once; it's a manageable fourteen kilometres for a change of scene.
