Island Charm Escape

If switching off and slowing down is top of your holiday agenda, this Kefalonian villa makes an easy choice. Tucked away among olive trees in the island’s south, it’s a great place to relax. The private saltwater pool and terrace are particular highlights. Inside, the style is soft and calming, with plenty of natural light and a cosy loft-style bedroom upstairs that comes with beautiful countryside views. Two will sleep on the sofa bed here, but it feels like a small compromise for an island stay like this. Beyond the villa, the resort has lush gardens, an outdoor gym and a shared pool, while beaches, eateries and the stunning coast is just a short drive away.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several villas here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*Daily housekeeping and concierge services are provided here.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking here.
*You'll have access to the open-air gym and seasonal swimming pool here. They're shared with the resort's other residents.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
