Sea views from the terrace, a private pool for cooling off between sun-soaked lounging, and a barbecue ready for long, easy dinners – this villa in Kefalas makes slipping into holiday mode feel effortless. Inside, the living space is bright and open, designed so that everything flows naturally towards the outdoors. Slide the doors back and move between sofa, sun lounger and pool without missing a beat. There's even a children's pool for little ones to enjoy. Two bedrooms on the ground floor offer comfort and privacy, while the loft adds flexible sleeping space that suits families or a group of friends. A well-equipped kitchen keeps mealtimes simple, whether you’re preparing a full spread or just assembling fresh local produce. It’s the kind of place where the hardest decision is whether to swim again or open another bottle of wine.

Home truths

  • The third bedroom is located in an open-plan loft, which offers less privacy than the ground-floor bedrooms.

  • The children's pool opens onto the main pool, so children should be supervised at all times.
