The third time on Lefkada, I spent my 14 days vacation at the Thomais Boutique Hotel in Nikiana. Being a boutique hotel, it is different to typical holiday hotels, in the positive sense. First, it is a small hotel, I guess around 8 to ten rooms. The rooms are designed in an unusual, modern way and with a lot of love for details. All illumination, directly or indirectly selectable, is based on energy efficient LED technology. Each room has it's own motto and is designed individually. My deluxe two person room was spacious and featured a large bed with a thick quality mattress. If you order a land view room, you have silent ambience, the sea view rooms however are oriented to the coast road. I heard about people complaining about the unevitable traffic noise this causes, but if you research correctly in advance (e.g. by Google maps) you will see this before. Luckily, the sea view rooms have a dual glass balcony sliding door (and a second mesh slider against insects), and this way there is almost no noise, especially in the night there is generally low traffic only. The air condition with free adjustment of the settings is included and so is a small safe and a fridge. A TV set is also in the room, offering mostly greek channels. The WiFi is well meshed and strong with multiple repeaters. Compared to other hotels, the cleaning of the rooms is on the highest possible level and really top notch. Breakfast is selected in advance and features all options you may appreciate. I especially enjoyed the daily really fresh fruit selection and and the well cooled pure orange juice. The manager couple was friendly and helpful throughout and offered me food even at late arrival or early departures (as it happens with planned boat trips or other activities). The a la card dishes are reasonable sized, nicely prepared and tasting really well, but a bit on the pricey side. Unfortunately I had not time to visit the rooftop table possibility and I also missed the chance to exercise a bit using the underwater cycle and treadmill which reside in a small open air basin. The location of the hotel between Nidri and Lefkada town is fine to visit both spots with any motorized vehicle. Attention: Bus schedule is just around 4 to 5 times a day, so you need exact planning if you rely on such option. As the summary, the hotel is clearly recommendable for a full vacation stay, being and adult only facility you are free of ususal children noise and disturbance, and all guest are behaving well which adds to the high level of recreation during the stay.

Nice family run hote with personalized and attentive service. Well appointed. Very good buffet breakfast catering to personal requests if desired. Some traffic noise but nothing that wasn't tolerable.
