NEW FOR 2025


The clue is in the name at this gorgeous retreat, promising romantic seclusion in a delightful woodland setting. There’s greenery all around and whilst the setting maybe be rustic, the villa is anything but, with elegant, top-quality interiors that would be equally at home in a chic city apartment. The colours are softly muted, creating a wonderful sense of calm; just the place for a honeymoon, or when you need to escape from the world for a little while.

Stepping directly from your bedroom onto the terrace for a morning dip is a fantastic way to start your day, and you can spend hours in this private green oasis just reading, relaxing and enjoying one another’s company. It all feels deliciously remote, yet the red rooves of Sarlata village lie just beyond the forest. Your nearest local shops and restaurants are a five-minute drive away in Lakithra, and the sandy beaches at Avithos, Ai Helis and Ammes are only a few kilometres further. It’s also easy to visit the capital Argostoli, with its shops, restaurants and bustling central square, but the lure of dinner at home beneath a star-studded Kefalonian night might be just too hard to resist.

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.

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.

To complete the picture of your luxury holiday in Kefalonia, explore our private villas and boutique hotel, the perfect base for a stay on this most magical island.
