Bioclimatic villa in NATURA area with splendid Ionian sunsets.
Vissala Village is a residence of five comfortably furnished houses, built of wood and stone. The site takes its name from an ancient ceramic industry, in ancient Greek Vissala meaning "broken pottery". Each of the houses of Vissala Village offers a discreet independence. With 50m² of living space they benefit from individual swimming pools and private car parks in a landscaped environment. The wooden interiors provide a warm atmosphere. We know how much wood houses have the property to provide comfort adapted to all climatic conditions.
The half-timbered architecture blends perfectly with the environment. This construction principle, unique in Greece, is typical of Lefkas. It has attracted the interest of a large number of observers and researchers. The wood used is mainly entire trunks of cypresses coated with pitch and bitumen. This treatment gives the structure a long life. Some houses on Lefkas date from the 18th century.
On the mezzanine there is the bedroom and the bathroom. The ground floor of each villa has a living room with a kitchen and a toilet. The sofa can be converted to a standard double bed or two single beds. It is an independent fully equipped and functional country house (washing machine, dishwasher, ceramic cooker, oven, microwave, refrigerator large capacity), with complete equipment, air conditioners, solar heating, television and satellite internet .

Hortata is in Natura 2000 protected area. The classification according to EU Directive 92/43 is mainly due to the presence of rare plants that are found nowhere else in Greece.

The ancient Greek botanist Dioscourides (1st century after J. C) already mentions this plant.
