Just steps away from a stunning, pristine beach, this villa is the perfect escape for families and friends. With two separate houses, you’ll share time with those closest to you before stepping out into the large garden to share a glass of wine as you watch the sun sink into the Ionian Sea. The various terraces and balconies overlooking the coast are perfect spots to enjoy your Greek omelettes in the morning as you plot out the day ahead.

The Al Helis beach, just beneath the villa, is a popular spot for beach sports – ideal for working up a sweat with a game of beach volleyball. If that’s not your style, the shallow waters are perfect for a family dip. Away from the beach, you’ll find the home is a great base to explore Greece’s Kefalonia – hop in the car and find picturesque caves, colourful villages and more stunning beaches.

Home truths:
*Although you can easily walk to nearby areas, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay on the island – there’s free parking on the driveway
*Though there's enough bed space for nine people here, we'd recommend a maximum guest count of eight
*Your host can provide two cots and three beds for children upon request, subject to availability
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
