Surrounded by Magnolias and Mediterranean views, this Kefalonian villa is something to remember. From here, you’re just a short drive from the picture-perfect cove of St.Thomas Bay where you’ll find golden sands and shallow waters – perfect if you’re visiting with little ones. Speaking of, back at the villa there’s a children’s play area and pool for family days alfresco, as well as a built-in barbecue to cook up grilled feasts. Though the bathrooms are on the minimal side, the rest of the house feels modern and inviting – meals are made effortless thanks to the kitchen’s handy appliances, while sleeps are blissful thanks to the coastal breeze through the balcony doors.

Home truths:
*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – parking is off-road with a covered parking area for two cars next to the house
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*There's a ground-floor bedroom with an adjacent shower room
*The bathroom styles feel a little more dated than the rest of the interior
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*There's a gated children's play area at this home
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
