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.
