NEW FOR 2025
From the mesmerising views to the generous space and high-spec design, we love everything about this stunning villa. Designed by a renowned local architect, this house is truly luxurious without being ostentatious, as befits its tranquil village setting on the edge of Lakithra. With local shops and restaurants within a short walk and some of Kefalonia’s very best sandy beaches a ten-minute drive away, this is a beautifully indulgent base for any group gathering or family celebration.
The house is set in a sea of green in its own immaculate grounds, with wonderful views over the Kefalonia countryside to the sparkling Ionian sea. There’s room for you all around the pool, complete with built-in jacuzzi and hypo-allergenic treatment system to reduce the environmental impact and protect sensitive young skin. It’s a villa that works for all ages: ground floor bedrooms make it easier for anyone with reduced mobility, there’s a lawn for little ones and the pool-side annexe is perfect for those who prefer a little extra privacy. Teenagers can come and go to the village as they please, and if they’re still not convinced, you might like to point out the pool table, Nintendo Wii, gym and basketball court that come as part of this very special package.
The understated luxury continues inside, with top-quality furnishings all the way, including stylish living areas, designer bathrooms and anatomic mattresses for a great night’s sleep. With so much to hand, Villa Ylenia is the sort of place that you never want to leave, but it would be a shame to visit this fabulous part of the island without at least one trip to the soft golden sands of Avithos beach and the appealing buzz of Argostoli town, both a short easy drive away.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
Densely forested hills dotted with traditional hamlets and a coastline of small, quiet coves make Kefalonia an unspoilt Greek holiday delight. Its northeastern tip shelters picture-perfect Fiskardo, whose 18th-century houses stand proud with their flower-festooned balconies and carved doors. South Kefalonia hosts Argostoli, the vibrant island capital that still has an active fishing fleet alongside its buzzing cafes and restaurants. Come early and you’ll probably spot a loggerhead turtle in the harbour, or stay late and take a stroll down the waterfront promenade. Trapezaki is a little southern secret, with beautiful views over the sea to Zakynthos and up to Mount Ainos, the highest peak on the island. There’s an unspoilt sandy beach here with a single taverna, and if you’re looking for more choice, try Lourdas, a lovely long sandy/shingle beach lined with waterfront cafes and restaurants.
