The setting of this lovely home can’t be beaten. It’s in the village of Asos, between popular Myrtos Beach – a ten-minute drive – and Fiscardo. The villa is on a headland, looking out over Asos Bay. You’ll even have direct access to the clear blue sea, via a steep set of steps. If you’d rather cool off without exerting yourself, you can dive into your private swimming pool – the views from the terrace are wonderful.

Climb the hilltops of Cephalonia and land at this stunning villa – perched at one of the island's highest points and yet just a five-minute walk from the beach and charming harbour of Assos.

From way up here, the panoramas of the village's Venetian castle and the Aegean Sea beyond are astonishing. Hop between the shady terraces and balconies or soak up the sun from the plunge pool – those views will be right there with you.

Inside, this beautifully designed, light space has heaps of character thanks to the exposed stone walls and rustic finishes. Over in the bedrooms, each with seperate bathrooms, balcony doors lead out onto a vast, wraparound balcony to soak up those seascapes and the verdant green peninsula.

When the sea finally lures you in, roll down the hill to Assos' picturesque horseshoe-shaped harbour. Flanked by candy-coloured Venetian houses, authentic tavernas serving the freshest seafood imaginable, and a sandy bay at its heart, you might find all you need right here. Or hop in the car and scoot along to the dazzling white sands of Myrtos Beach (a fifteen-minute drive) – this place is one of Greece's most photographed shores for good reason. Go discover the hype for yourself.


Keeper of the Castle

Laptop Friendly Workspace

Created by the owner’s mother – this elegant villa has a wonderful location. The terrace, surrounded by scented lavender, has panoramic views of the Red Rocks, St. Jerusalem and Alaties beaches. There’s a private pool to cool off in and a gazebo for when you need some shelter from the Greek sun. You can enjoy the vistas from inside too – from the living room, the spacious attic bedroom, which is on a mezzanine above the living space and the another bedroom, which also opens out onto the terrace. When you fancy exploring, attractions nearby include the stunning Myrtos Beach.

Dating back to 1878, this home is absolutely brimming with character. Every inch harks back to the past, from exposed stone walls to whitewashed beams on the vaulted ceilings. But don't let that fool you. There are plenty of 21st-century comforts here, too – be it glossy showers or a sleek kitchen filled with all the bits and bobs you'll need to rustle up Grecian feasts.

And don't even get us started on the dazzling views. Pad outside and be greeted by the Ionian Sea sparkling on the horizon and Kefalonia's tree-studded peaks standing proud in the distance. Our favourite spot to admire the scenery? The private pool, where long, lazy afternoons relaxing in the water are a given. You also can't beat the vistas from the balcony or the terrace. Come evening, gather around the table and dine alfresco, the coastal sunset creating the dreamiest backdrop to your meal. 

For a day out and about, Kefalonia's stunning coastline is well worth exploring. Drive 10km to the famous Myrtos Beach and stretch out in the sand, or visit villages like Assos and Fiskardo for a smattering of restaurants and a whole of charm.

Nice to haves

With a sweeping panorama taking in Agia Kyriaki and Myrtos bays, this villa up in the hills of Agkonas is the perfect island retreat. Days can be spent by the swimming pool, lying on the flat loungers and taking in the views of mountains and sea. On the first floor, a bamboo pergola shades the outdoor dining area and a hanging chair looks out over the sprawling vista. 

Inside, it’s an industrial-style space of poured concrete and iron railings with a couple of vintage pieces keeping things characterful. There’s plenty of prep space on the concrete worktops in the kitchen and washed wood cabinets feel bespoke. In the master bedroom, the honey-hued stone wall on display sings of old Kefalonia, and the second bedroom has a distinctly Moroccan vibe.

When it comes to exploring the area, you’ll find a mini market within walking distance, and there’s a beautiful, unspoilt local beach a ten-minute drive away with a handful of cafés to choose from.

Single-Level Home

Courtyard

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

Located in the Kefalonian mountainside, with views over the picturesque harbour and crystal clear waters below, this luxurious villa welcomes you to adopt the unhurried lifestyle of the Greek islands in style. 

Curated by a renowned designer, you'll immediately notice the high-end touch that's been given to this bright space – from the sleek modular sofa to the granite island kitchen, neutral colour palette and hemp decor. It's a modern and minimalist living area with sky-high, timber-framed ceilings that creates an incredible sense of openness from the get-go. The ability to glide seamlessly across the polished concrete floor between the kitchen and seating area means you can cook for your guests while keeping up with the conversation. 

Step out onto the sprawling pool terrace, sliding open the bi-folding doors and instantly extending your communal area, while inviting the unspoiled landscape inside. Relax in the outside lounge space with a freshly brewed cup of Greek coffee and your complimentary breakfast (yes, that's included). Swim a few leisurely lengths of the infinity pool, before picking out a lounger in the dappled shade for a long, languorous day soaking up the soothing atmosphere of your plush pad. 

For a change of scenery, we recommend you pack your seaside essentials and take the two-minute drive to Ivo beach. Stretch out on the soft white sands and swim in the turquoise waters. Head home for an alfresco feast together on the covered terrace that comfortably seats the entire group under the pergola, before bookmarking the day with a couple of cocktails and anecdotes around the firepit. 

Wilderness Whisperings

Overlooking the deep blue of the Ionian Sea and the charming fishing village of Agia Effimia on Kefalonia’s east coast, this beautiful villa is the perfect setting to enjoy the romance of this beautiful island’s rugged landscape. 

Panoramic vistas stretch out before you – best enjoyed from the private infinity pool or on one of its plump sun loungers. When the sun gets too hot, cool down beneath the outdoor shower or retreat to the shade of the pergola where seating provides the ideal spot to enjoy the complimentary breakfast provided or a starlit barbecue feast at the end of the night. 

Inside, meanwhile, the decor is pared-back and earthy and has been curated by a designer who's been in love with the magic of Kefalonia since childhood. Modern and minimalist, you’ll love how the surrounding rocks have been used to build this home and the way it’s been designed around those panoramic views that take centre stage from the glass windows.  Whether you’re waking up in the comfortable bed here or falling asleep in it after a day of adventure, the Ionian provides the most incredible backdrop you’ll never tire of enjoying. 

When you’re not busy soaking up the bliss of your slice of paradise, make a beeline for Ivo Beach, a ten-minute walk away, or stroll into town to enjoy the shops and tavernas three minutes away. 


Ionian Idol

Safety Gates

One glance at this villa's sweeping sea views and you can't help but feel completely at ease. The Ionian's crashing waves and Kefalonia's craggy coastline paint the perfect backdrop to your stay, whether you're relaxing on the main suite's balcony, sipping wine on the terrace or splashing in the infinity pool. Inside is a bit more traditional – picture stone walls, timber beams and slightly dated bathrooms – but it's roomy enough for the whole group. Location-wise, the nearest village is Vassilikiades – it's about 4 kilometres away and has a mini-market and local tavernas. Or, venture further afield to Assos (a ten-minute drive away), home to a hilltop fortress and small cove beach.

Pomegranate & Lemon

Set above the picture-perfect coast of northeastern Kefalonia, this home captured our attention at first glance. The views are hard to beat, the rooms are elegant and it’s just a short drive to the beautiful beaches of the coast – the nearest is 1.8km away. You’ll also find the pretty harbour of Fiscardo within easy reach – making this an ideal location from which to explore the island as well as relax in your own private sanctuary. There are two pools (one is shallow for little ones) and a hot tub, plus the terrace has a barbecue for al fresco dining. You’ll also find an adjoining annexe with a small kitchen and two bedrooms – providing plenty of space for groups to stretch out and spend quality time together. 

Essence of Beauty 

You'll need to pinch yourself when waking up in this Grecian paradise. Nestled among the hills and olive groves of Kefalonia, this characterful home offers privacy and seclusion. Gazing out from your private terrace, the glistening expanse of the Ionian sea beckons. Arrive at the nearest beach after a scenic fifteen-minute drive – if you can resist stopping at the inviting tavernas you'll pass on the way.

The open-plan living space offers a uniquely homey retreat, warmed up by the use of wood and rustic natural fabrics. This leads to a mezzanine desk area, ideal for those who can't quite switch off as you'll at least be able to separate work from play. The bedrooms are as blissful as you'd expect, two of which open onto balconies with spectacular sea views. We can't think of a better spot to watch the lights fade and stars emerge.

By choosing this abode, you're perfectly placed to explore the best of the island. Assos, a picturesque paintbox village, is within easy reach. Spend the day and visit the crumbling Venetian castle, built in the 16th century to protect against pirates. Even closer to home, you'll find the tiny Fiscardo. This quaint fishing community is a worthy pit-stop if you're in the mood for fresh seafood or a boat trip around the island.

Ionian Oasis

If you're keen to explore this stunning island but you're more interested in nature trails than tourist resorts, this magical home is aimed squarely at lovers of the great outdoors. Whether you're here to hike, explore the island by bike or just take it easy by the private pool, you'll find this place the perfect base. Set just metres away from the famous cypress forest trail, unspoilt beauty surrounds you.

Here you'll be tucked away in the village of Tselendata – a traditional, quiet spot that's a real slice of authentic Kefalonia – and just a five-minute drive away is the pretty harbour of Fiscardo, where you can watch the coming and goings of the private yachts and fishing boats.

Freshly renovated, this stone villa mixes old and new, with typical village architecture, blue shutters and two terraces looking out over the trees. Inside, it's spacious and cool, with a modern, minimal feel despite its character features. There's a fireplace for winter stays and a small but perfectly practical kitchen to whip up your Mediterranean meals. And we particularly love the little pool – a real treat after a hike in the forest.

Stones in the Forest

If you’re searching for somewhere to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this could be the villa for you. Ideal for a friend or family getaway, the sun-kissed terraces provide the perfect place to top up your tan, while the private pool provides welcome relief in the heat of the day. All this, while gazing out at stunning sea views across the Bay of Assos. For days out, nearby Vassilikades offers two tavernas while the picturesque harbour of Fiscardo and the world-famous sandy beach of Myrtos are easily accessible by car.

A Sea of Colour

With views of the Strait of Ithaca and the verdant green hillside rising out of it, we picked this Kefalonian home on its sunny outlook alone. The pretty, traditional Kefalonian architecture, bright decor and generous outdoor area are a bonus – so is the private swimming pool, angled to overlook the deep blue on the horizon. Though there's enough room for everyone inside, alfresco meals on the terrace – when you're not dining at the local tavernas – will be an irresistible prospect. Drop your bags and head to the beaches along the coast, or make your way across the channel to visit Ithaca for the day.

Penelope's Neighbour

It’s just olive trees and the glistening sea for as far as the eye can see from the poolside perch of this characterful villa fringing FIskardo – a blissfully quiet corner of Kefalonia. Inside, while the traditional interiors might not appeal to everyone, you can’t help but swoon at those balconies leading off every bedroom, each with a separate bathroom. Location wise, you’re just a lazy twenty-minute stroll down to the local beach. And even closer, you'll find a family-run taverna for meze plates and a glass of crisp Retsina. After something buzzier? FIskardo’s harbour-side restaurants (just a five-minute drive) are just the ticket.

The Sea Before Us

Luxury Bedding

Perched on a mountainside on Cephalonia's east coast, in the quaint fishing village of Agia Effimia, this stunning design-led home offers dreamy sea views in a secluded location. Just footsteps from the harbour's cafes, bars and restaurants and the golden sands of Beach Elies, this sumptuous pad is the perfect base for exploring Cephalonia in style.

Built using local stone, the home is an ode to the designer's lifelong infatuation with the island. Every detail works to celebrate Cephalonia's enchanting landscape. Interiors are cloaked in a neutral colour palette of creamy beiges and slate greys, creating a calming canvas. Meanwhile, warm timber beams and earthy linens complement the lush foliage nearby. Though each room offers stunning views, the outdoor terrace is the property's masterpiece. From the open-plan kitchen and lounge, open the large sliding doors and enjoy sweeping verandas of the sparkling sea and charming rooftops below. You'll love spending peaceful mornings here, coffee in hand, soaking up the soft rising sun. 

Outside, the pergola shaded dining area is the ideal spot to tuck into your complimentary breakfast and overlooks the crystalline infinity pool and jacuzzi. There's even a discrete outdoor shower nestled in the villa's stone walls, perfect for cooling off after a trip to the beach. With ample seating, including a plush outdoor lounge space and fire-pit nestled at pool height, you'll never want to leave this elegant pocket of paradise. 

Echo In My Heart

Mini Bar

Bicycles

Located just a few metres from the picturesque bay and village of Fiskardo, this two-storey villa promises an authentic stay on this beautiful Greek island. 

Summer in Kefalonia is best spent outdoors. At this particular villa, you'll find landscaped gardens, a private pool, loungers, an alfresco dining area with seating for four people and a balcony that simply calls out for a fresh Greek coffee. Swim a couple of leisurely laps before picking out a daybed for a serious tanning session, listening to nothing but the gentle sound of the sea breeze rustling through the surrounding trees. This one's a real oasis of calm. 

Inside, you'll find an open-plan living space with timber-framed ceilings and large patio doors that creates a light and airy atmosphere. We particularly love the country-style kitchen, complete with olive-green cabinets, artistic hanging lamps and marble worktops. The sociable space allows you to cook for your guests while conversing over a glass of Assyrtiko. Glide seamlessly into the living area, where traditional pieces of art adorn the walls and a wood-burning stove keeps things extra cosy. 

While you could easily spend the entire day hanging out at this achingly gorgeous villa, take some time to explore the local area. Drive to Eblisis Bay in just five minutes and stretch out on the soft sands, paddle in the shallows and admire the natural beauty of this unspoilt landscape.

Just a short drive from Foki beach, this villa promises a tranquil Greek getaway. Ideal for families, it’s unfussy interiors provide enough space for up to seven people – albeit with one guest on the sofa bed in the living room. But, the cherry on the cake for us here is the outdoor space. With far-reaching views across Fiskardo Bay, it’s impossible not to relax. So, take your pick of places to soak up the Mediterranean sun – the balcony, terrace, or private pool are all waiting. 

Blissful Horizon

Nestled on the side of a hill and boasting fantastic views over the Ionian Sea and the surrounding nature, this villa offers a tranquil base for a family holiday in Kefalonia. You’ll need a car to fully explore the area and drive to the beaches and restaurants, but the secluded location comes with its own perks. With the pool and sun loungers, as well as the terrace, perfect for alfresco feasts, this home is an ideal choice for those seeking laid-back relaxation. 

I'm Ok With Blue 

Wander down to the nearby Fiskardo village from this romantic villa to buy fresh Greek produce, perhaps stopping for a dip in the sea at Foki Beach, a pretty cove backed by lush forest. Alternatively, borrow one of the property’s four bikes to cycle to one of the sandy bays nearby. Back at the villa, prepare a barbecue to enjoy on the outdoor dining table for the ultimate alfresco meal. Take in the sweeping views over the sea and Fiskardo harbour, which you can enjoy from the refreshing pool, or with a freshly prepared continental breakfast each morning.

Terracotta Terrace

Gaze out over the village of Fiskardo from the balcony of this charming villa in Kefalonia, and feel yourself starting to relax. With the sea in the distance, guests can wander down to the harbour, or cycle to the nearest beach, Foki, a stunning, curved bay backed by forest. A little further afield lies the white-sand Myrtos Beach. The outside area of this villa is the highlight, thanks to its stunning views, large pool, sun loungers and pretty landscaped gardens. For a pampered stay, organise a continental breakfast each morning, to enjoy on the terrace. 

Terracotta Tile

This dreamy villa, with its green shuttered windows, terracotta-tiled roof and curved archways, is a charming place to stay in Kefalonia. Overlooking the sea and Fiskardo harbour, with its pretty coloured houses, the views from the balcony are delightful. Organise a daily continental breakfast to be delivered each morning, which you can enjoy on the terrace, or wander down to Fiskardo village for some fresh produce to start your day. Four bicycles are available to guests, making visiting the nearby the pebbled bay of Foki Beach, or heading into town a breeze.

Pine Green

Free Parking

Sunsets are magical moments from the terrace of this cute little villa for two. Perched on the hillside above the caster-sugar sweep of sand that is Polis Beach, the private patio faces west – so you can catch the golden hour reflecting on the water every evening. There’s a table for dining and drinks out here and a couple of sun loungers to make the most of the rays during the day. The villa itself is pretty in pink, and filled with Greek tradition inside. Think stone-built sofas, terracotta tiles and crisp white walls. A charming medley of darkwood furniture feels old-world. We love the sunny bedroom, with its window out to the bay and double glass doors opening straight onto the terrace.

Follow the private path straight down to Polis Beach, a short stroll away. In the bay, you’ve got a rustic kantina and pier where you can hire a boat for the day. That’s not to mention the horse-shoe of pristine, sandy beach. Heading just along the coast, the town of Frikes is a ten-minute drive away. Or, make your way further into the hills to find the village of Stavros, a five-minute drive or a twenty-five-minute walk (uphill).

Kiss by the Sea

Perched on the hillside above a quiet, white-sanded bay, this villa has views for days. From the terrace, you can spot Polis Beach – a horseshoe of pristine sand and crystal water – which you can reach by private path in just a few moments. Down in the bay, you’ve also got a charming stone pier where you can charter a boat for the day. There’s a kantina here serving simple Greek food, or you can make the twenty-five-minute walk (or five-minute drive) to Stavros in the hills for a little more choice. 

It’s all about the terrace here, where the view is simply sublime, especially at sunset. When the sky is tinged powder pink and the water glows, it’s the perfect time to dine at the outdoor table, or just enjoy a tipple or two. Throw open the double doors to let the sea breeze flow into the living room. The dark wood furniture calls back to the good old days and the open-plan living area is a social space. Both bedrooms have direct access to the terrace, so you can step straight out into the morning sun after a good night’s sleep. 

Floating in the Bay

This delightful apartment can be found just ten metres from the sea in the pretty village of Karavomylos. It’s one of a series of quiet, peaceful apartments, perfect for those longing for a restful visit to Greece – this isn’t party central.

You’ll likely spend your days at the beach, swimming in the clear water and soaking up the sunshine. It’s a two-minute walk from the apartment so you can sleep in and still nab a sun lounger at the shore. Stroll along the seafront and choose a taverna to pop into for lunch – as you’re on an island you really ought to sample some of the fresh seafood. 

The crown jewel of this village is Melissani Cave, a natural wonder just five minutes from the apartment. Boats take you into the cave, which has a hidden lake and forest inside – it makes for a romantic outing. 

The town of Assos is thirty-two minutes away, and it’s well worth the car journey. Wandering around the cobbled streets and admiring the colourful houses is a delightful way to spend a day, especially with an ice cream in hand. 

Returning to the apartment after busy days in the sun feels like returning home. Open a bottle of wine to sip together in the garden as the sun sinks in the sky. 


Wicker & Wood

With gorgeous views across rolling mountains, stretching out to the sea, this villa on Ithaka island could be the relaxing retreat you’ve been seeking. Tranquillity finds new meaning here – the traditional stone brick abode is bursting with traditional character that has a calming authenticity to it. Although the views are extraordinary, you’ll feel right at home with the charming, cosy interior and familiar outdoor tables. 

Traditional touches are interspersed with contemporary appliances, fit for a modern family or group of friends. But it’s those that appreciate the simpler things in life that’ll really love this place. Every day acts become memories here – letting the sunlight warm your face in the morning, savouring your coffee on the patio, preparing lunchtime salads with loved ones around the table, and playing cards while sharing a bottle of wine. 

The view, and the homely setting, add a sprinkle of magic to everything you do. From the moment you drop your bags and step onto the patio, you’ll be hooked. Of course, you have plenty of luxuries too – spend blissful days lounging by the glittering pool, reading your book, and sipping on local wine. 

When it comes to exploring, Ithaka is a rugged, mountainous island that’s inspired myths and legends for centuries. Take hikes through the gorgeous landscape, or spend days lounging on the beach – it’s just a ten-minute drive away. When you can drag yourself away from the view and delicious home-cooked barbecues, you’ll love visiting local restaurants in nearby Stavros. 

Cherry Vista

Tennis Court

Herb Garden

What better base in the ancient-ruin-filled peninsula of the Peloponnese than a neo-classic villa that radiates Grecian charm. This place was originally built in 1893 and is set in over 35,000 square metres of manicured grounds like a lavish country escape fit for nobility. The Mediterranean gardens are filled with blooming flowers, fragrant jasmine and wisteria, and you can help yourself to the vegetables, strawberries, peaches and apricots ripening in the sun. Outdoor lounges come swathed with white curtains, loungers are shaded by ancient olive trees and there’s a tennis court/basketball court and swimming pool for those that like to keep active. Underground changing rooms provide a bit of privacy. Perhaps head up to the rooftop terrace – a real sun-trap during the day. 

There’s a sense of luxurious nostalgia inside. Intricately carved armchairs reminiscent of medieval thrones sit in front of a brick fireplace in the main living room and oil paintings adorn the walls. Should you need to work remotely, there’s a dedicated office room with stacks and stacks of books to choose from too. Bedrooms continue the theme of grandeur with gilded mirrors and wrought-iron bed-frames. 

In terms of location, the Peloponnese has that distinct Greek Island feel, and the soft-sanded beach of Agia. Marina, lined with restaurants and bars, is just a five-minute walk away. 

Lady Ariadne

Fenced Garden

Umbrellas

From pine forests to endless sandy beaches, Western Achaia is one of Greece's most beautiful regions. And located within the small town of Kato Achaia, this home is a wonderful place to discover its authentic spirit and unique charm. 

In traditional Greek style, this home is about coming together and celebrating life. From the kitchen to the living area, warm and personal details make it easy to relax here. You’ll love opening the doors and stepping out into the gardens. Begin your day with a refreshing dip in the pool before gathering together for breakfast on the terrace. The communal spaces are thoughtfully designed for quality time together, while the bedrooms offer privacy and peace. 

While you could easily spend your day lounging by the pool, it’s only a five–minute walk to the nearest beach. And there are other stunning beaches to explore along this coastline, like Kalogria which is a thirty–eight–minute drive away. 

After a day exploring this idyllic coastline, you’ll love coming home to relax in the garden. Gather around the outdoor dining table and spend an evening in true Greek style – with beautiful food, friends and plenty of laughter. 

The Folk Song

The coast of Kefalonia is a rather special spot in the Ionian Sea. From the quaint and colourful villas on the waterside of Sami, to rugged clifftop landscapes with sheer drops to the water, spectacular contrasts make this island stand out from the rest. And just a four-minute drive from ancient Sami, this modern home adds yet another delightful contrast. 

This apartment is set just ten metres away from the sea, but has a truly earthy palette. As you step inside, there's an immediate sense of zen and a grounding feeling from sandy hues, wooden furniture, and wicker decorations. But something else stands out in this organic colour scheme – lime green. A fabulous feature wall and dining chairs create a pop of colour which brightens the space and makes your mouth water for a cold margarita. 

Mix up the cocktails and take them down to the lawn of your garden or the private balcony, where azure waters and leafy trees make up a gorgeous vista. Outside is also where you’ll find the residents’ swimming pool – not a bad place to cool off after a day in the Mediterranean sun. 

Lime Peel

Wake up in the morning to the sun shining and the sound of the sea lapping the shore at this lovely seaside apartment. With everything you need for a break by the beach, this apartment can be found in the peaceful village of Karavomylos, far away from the touristy crowds in the south of the island. 

The apartment is perfect for a family, or perhaps two couples looking to enjoy a relaxing stay at the beach. It’s light, bright, and comfortable, with a view of the garden. The balcony is the perfect place for pre-dinner cocktails, especially when the sun starts to set. 

A two-minute stroll will take you to a lovely pebble beach, where the water is calm. You might like to give snorkelling a go, or perhaps you’d prefer to lie back and soak up every second of sunshine? Along from the beach, there are a few tavernas and restaurants to choose from, so you’re sure to find somewhere to sample moussaka. There are plenty of beaches in the area to explore, so we recommend heading out in the car to see which secluded coves you can find. 

After a long day out in the sunshine, you’ll be grateful to head back to the calm, cool interior of this apartment. It has everything you need. 


Sunshine On My Window

This sweet little apartment is packed full of charm. It’s part of a peaceful cluster of apartments in the pretty village of Karavomylos, just a few steps from the sea. You can fall asleep at night to the soothing sound of the sea on the shore, just beyond the balcony. 

After waking up with the sun on your pillow, take your coffee to the balcony to start your day slowly – you’re on island time now, after all. The sea views are the crowning glory of this pretty apartment, which is calm and quiet, ideal for a beach holiday for two. You might decide to stroll to a nearby taverna for breakfast before spending your morning by the communal pool. The beach is two minutes away on foot, so you can switch up your sunbathing locations in a flash. 

A five-minute stroll through town is all it takes to reach Melissani Cave, one of the most beautiful sights on the island. This enchanting cave hides a turquoise lake within, with forests surrounding it. Plan your visit for midday when the sun streams through from above, giving a magical glow and adding to the romance. 

Beautiful Assos is thirty-two minutes away by car, and well worth the trip. The town is known for its colourful houses, traditional architecture, and the ruins of a Venetian castle. It’s one of the most picturesque spots on Kefalonia, so make a day of it – there are countless attractive spots for a sunset meal and cocktail. 


Ariel's Song

Playground

Overlooking the Ionian Sea, this home, split into three independent villas, is well-suited to large family reunions. We think you’ll do most of your socialising outside, thanks to the summer kitchen and private infinity pool. Loungers provide views of mountains and olive groves, and the covered terrace is the ideal spot for cocktails. The interiors are straightforward yet comfortable, with each double bedroom having its own en-suite and private outdoor space. Just a ten-minute walk away, you’ll find beautiful beaches, traditional tavernas and bars in and around Lourdas village. 

Ocean & Olive

If visiting an ancient village and boating across a crystal-clear lake sounds like your sort of afternoon, this coastal landscape of Kefalonia might fit the bill. Just a four-minute drive from the town of Sami, and an eight-minute walk from the sapphire waters of Melissani Cave, this luxe apartment offers a base where you can brush the sand off your feet and let your swimwear dry for the day ahead.

Merging into the organic scenery of this island, the home offers a calming decor of sandy tones, reminiscent of nearby beaches. Wicker and wood furniture add to this natural vibe, which continues from the dining space into the bedrooms. Rope-framed mirrors and solid log stools put even more emphasis on this rustic, beachside theme – as does the fabulous view from the terrace.

Pour yourself a glass of local wine and step outside to admire the vista. From your sandy-hued home, it would only make sense to have the sea alongside. While the residents’ swimming pool below is the first port of call, the Ionian Sea itself is just a little further in the distance. We recommend gazing out at these azure tones while nibbling olives on the decking.

Sunlight Haze

Perched on a hill overlooking Pessada cove lies this beautiful villa, blessed with magnificent views over the Ionian sea and the National Park of Mount Aenos. With its unique and striking design, you'll experience true luxury here. Whether you're in one of the downstairs bedrooms with direct access to the pool, or you're upstairs with your own private balcony, you'll be able to greet the Greek sunshine from the moment you wake up and draw the curtains. Enjoy your morning coffee out on the terrace, barefoot on the warm stone by the pool as the Ionian sea stretches out before you and disappears against the clear blue horizon. Bliss.

The pampering doesn't end here – gather in the pool-integrated conversation pit or float in the cool water under clear blue skies, or head to the Turkish bath for some steamy spa treatment. When it's time for dinner, fire up the barbecue and cook up some bifteki or head to the fully-equipped kitchen and cook up a storm. If you don't feel like cooking, jump in the car and take the short drive to the charming village of Pessada, or to the island's capital of Argostoli where you can enjoy a myriad of fantastic local restaurants and bars, no matter what you're craving. You'll find Pessada port closeby – head out to Zante island and take advantage of all the vibrant island has to offer. When you return in the evening, draw yourself a hot bath and let yourself experience true relaxation.
