Stunning, Beautiful Villa. Breathtaking Sea Views. Sandy Beaches

The house is of unique design and each room has glorious, uninterrupted views over the Ionian sea.

It is just 5 - 10 mins walk from the village centre with it's local tavernas and mini-markets and approx. 25 mins drive from the airport.

The sitting room, open-plan dining room and kitchen, together with cloakroom and utility room are all on the top floor and have a spectacular outlook.

On the floor below are three light, airy and spacious bedrooms all overlooking the sea, and each with balconies and integral awnings giving protection from the sun. Two bedrooms have king-size beds and the third has two twin beds. The first king-size bedroom has it's own ensuite (full size bath, overhead shower, toilet and basin). The second king-size bedroom has an ensuite shower-room which can be shared with the twin bedroom. Each bedroom has fitted wardrobes, dressing table, occasional chairs and comfortable beds.

The large mosaic swimming pool dominates the front sun-terrace and there are shady areas in the garden particularly under the vine-covered pergola which is equipped with tables and chairs for eating.

The villa itself is fully equipped for a maximum of eight guests & offers high quality, tasteful accommodation with full air-conditioning and Internet connection. Meals can be enjoyed on the large top-floor oval balcony or below in the garden by the pool. From the house and garden guests can see miles of the Livathos coastline, the whole length of Lourdas Bay and the island of Zakinthos.

Coast/Beach:

The Garden House is 15 minutes walk to Lourdas Beach but longer coming back as it is uphill in places!

There are many other sandy beaches nearby all of which are where the famous logger-head turtles nest in the summer months.

Although the villa is not far from the beach and local tavernas, we strongly recommend that you hire a car. Walking in high summer when temperatures reach 36/38C. can be exhausting. A car is also important if you want to explore the island more fully.

The villa is approx 25 mins drive from the airport and most hire car companies have cars available for collection and return at the airport.

There are several well stocked supermarkets in the village and larger stores 20 minutes' drive away. A welcome pack is provided on arrival at the villa and there are several local tavernas very close to the village church approx 10 mins walk along the lane. At the villa each bedroom and balcony has magnificent views of the sea, the island of Zakinthos, the garden and pool. The house is set at the top of a private drive shared with one other house, amid peaceful countryside of olive groves and woodland.

There are incredible places to visit in Kefalonia all within a comfortable drive. These include the Omala Valley and Saint Gerasimos's resting place at the historic monastery there, Mount Ainos and it's breathtaking walking trails, the island's bustling capital town of Argostoli with it's fruit and vegetable markets and colourful waterfront, the port of Sami, charming Assos and cosmopolitan Fiskardo which makes for an incredible day out to the north-east coast! Everywhere there are beautiful safe swimming beaches - both sandy and pebbly - many with small tavernas, others with shady olive groves to picnic or majestic cliffs as a backdrop.

There are many places to eat out - some a short stroll from the house, others along Lourdas Beach, also in country villages, in Argostoli itself or along the waterfronts of harbours and ports.

Kefalonia has so much to offer. You can chose to spend the day by the pool, laze on one of the local beaches or explore the island's sights before watching the spectacular Ionian sunset from the balconies. The Garden House is idyllically situated in an elevated position along a quiet lane. It is above the main Lourdas Beach and lies on the lower slopes of Mt Ainos - a protected National Park. Wild orchids flower in the spring, in the autumn crocuses and cyclamen bloom. Wild horses still roam the mountain and from the balconies guests may even see eagles, owls and bats!
