This villa might not be beachfront but you still get views of the Ionian Sea through the panoramic windows and from the poolside. Thoughtfully designed with a bedroom either side of the living area for extra privacy, the house would suit a family or small group of friends. You’ll find a number of tavernas in the area as well as a couple of vineyards, where you can sample a glass of Robola – a white wine unique to Kefalonia. And for a slice of history, head to the island’s capital, Argostoli, just a 13km drive away.

Home truths:
*While one of the ensuites isn’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times. The pool is usually open from April to October – please check dates with your host.
*The edge of the property grounds is part-elevated in places so younger children may require supervision.
*The nearest supermarket for stocking up is 1.5km away and there is a minimarket 500m walk from the villa.
*If you are travelling as a group but wish to have your own private space, your host operates a nearly identical villa nearby – please contact them for more information.
