Living Artist’s Space, Off-Grid Sanctuary Lefkada

Live Inside an Artist’s World — An Off-Grid Creative Sanctuary in Lefkada This is not a conventional place to stay. It is a living artwork set in nature, unfolding in the ruins of an abandoned village called Roupakias on Lefkada. We live and create here together, in a fully off-grid artist’s space surrounded by silence and landscape. Art, architecture, and nature shape daily life here. When you stay, you don’t just observe art — you live inside it. The space The Space | Off-Grid Living in Nature Your accommodation is part of a fully off-grid property, surrounded by olive trees, silence, and open skies. We are located 3 km from the nearest village and 9 km from the sea, offering deep immersion in nature while still allowing access to Lefkada’s beaches and local culture. We are slowly restoring the stone ruins of Roupakias with care and respect, preserving the spirit of the place rather than replacing it. Electricity comes from solar energy, water from natural sources, and daily life follows the rhythm of daylight, weather, and season. This is a remote, quiet, and peaceful stay, ideal for guests who value simplicity, sustainability, and authenticity. Art, Studio & Creative Experience Art is at the heart of this place. The space is filled with original artworks created on the property, each piece shaped by the materials, stories, and energy of the land. Art here is not decoration — it is how the space speaks. Guests are welcome to: Visit our working art studio Sign up for a private lesson Learn about the creative process and ideas behind the work Experience what it means to live within an evolving artistic environment Some guests choose to purchase an original artwork as a meaningful memory of their stay. These pieces are one-of-a-kind and thoughtfully priced, reflecting the time, craftsmanship, and intention behind them. There is no obligation — only an invitation for those who feel a connection.

A Gentle Note Living off-grid means choosing awareness over excess.
 It asks for respect — for nature, for art, and for the people who care for this place. In return, it offers something increasingly rare: presence, authenticity, and silence that speaks. Guest access Guests have a private area with their tent and a private compost toilet. The tent area is located down the hill, and access is via a staircase. Guests should be comfortable using stairs. The outdoor shower is located in the common area and is shared between us, our volunteers, and guests. The shower is outdoor and cold-water only, in keeping with our off-grid lifestyle. Breakfast is served in the shared outdoor common area, under the fig tree. Other things to note As part of the ongoing restoration of the site, there is another small living space on the property, which is occasionally used. The place is shared in a respectful and quiet way. We have a lovely dog Rudy and Cricket the cat. Both are well socialized, friendly, and used to being around guests. If you are uncomfortable around animals or have strong allergies, please keep this in mind before booking. Registration details 00002229316
