Description
A romantic one-bedroom villa just for two, this island retreat near the village of Skala on Kefalonia is the perfect place for a honeymoon or special holiday. Our villa is set on a hillside in a beautiful rural location and was built and furnished with luxury and comfort in mind. The site was chosen for its superb sea views across to the Greek mainland and to the neighbouring island of Zante and also for its proximity to some of Kefalonia's best sandy beaches. The villa is not remote, but there are no close neighbours.
On the ground floor, you will find a light and airy open plan living/dining area with carefully chosen furnishings in muted colours. Leading off is a well equipped kitchen and also a downstairs shower room. Patio doors lead you outside to a covered dining area overlooking your own private swimming pool.
The bedroom suite on the first floor comprises an en-suite bathroom, dressing area with full-length mirror and ample wardrobes, and bedroom with queen-size (5 ft.) divan bed of top quality. Glazed doors lead from the bedroom onto a spacious balcony with table and chairs where you can relax, have morning refreshments and enjoy the amazing views of the surrounding countryside and the Ionian Sea
Outside, your swimming pool is equipped with a jacuzzi and the pool is surrounded by a large, well screened, patio for sunbathing plus a pergola for some shade. Here you will also find a purpose built charcoal barbeque with the necessary equipment. The villa is set in its own private garden with a driveway leading to ample off-street parking.

Guestbook
Thank you, Jean and Andrew
We have just returned from a relaxed week, having enjoyed all that this lovely villa has to offer. The scenery, the ambiance and the facilities are superb. The villa is well presented, clean and charmingly hosted. As described, It is within easy reach of the beach, and there are some lovely walks. The local town, Skala, is vibrant and welcoming, with a good choice of tavernas / restaurants.
I am not sure there is much more that one could want in a holiday.
