Kefalonian Emerald Villa

Have your morning coffee on the balcony while soaking in the panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Mount Ainos, and the occasionally anchored yacht enjoying the same peace and tranquility as you are.

Our manicured grounds include BBQ, outdoor dining, and a private pool. When you eventually hear the call of the sea, you may walk down to the sandy beaches of Pessada in about 10 minutes.

Built in 2022, this villa has a traditional Greek design with modern touches and comforts. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and several common gathering areas for your group to enjoy. Because the traditional design places the stairs connecting the two floors on the outside of the villa, we offer a kitchenette on the top floor for guests to access food and drink without needing to come downstairs. Be sure to review our floor plans in the photo section to get a feel for the layout. There is air conditioning in every room of the villa to assure your comfort. For your entertainment, we provide two large screen TVs with a library of over 100 movies, satellite programming and high-speed Starlink WiFi throughout.

On the outside, the villa has a covered veranda and a balcony with pergola for shade. Each has bistro tables to enjoy a morning coffee on our beautifully landscaped grounds. In addition, we have a large traditional Greek BBQ with outdoor dining for 6 people. Just a few steps away is a 32m² private pool with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Throughout the property are gardens of Olive Trees, Lavender, Jasmine, Bougainvillea, Oleander and Rosemary. All this with incredible views of the mountain and sea, with the occasionally anchored yacht enjoying the same peace and tranquility as you are.

Whether it is the subtle ringing of church bells at Agios Nikolas or the quiet serenity of the Greek island countryside, this villa in the peaceful village of Pessada offers a spectacular immersion of natural beauty, situated between the towering Mount Ainos and the Mediterranean Sea.

Within a 10-minute drive, you can visit St. George's castle, built in the early 16th century. Within a 15-minute drive, you can visit the monastery of Saint Gerasimos for a glimpse of its ornate interior and the mummified body of the saint himself. Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, can also be reached with a 15-minute drive. You can visit Argostoli for the fruit markets, souvenirs, bakeries, cafes or many wonderful restaurants. Be sure to spend an evening in the square where you can have an ice cream, frappe, crepe or mixed drink while watching the town come alive and gather. Other notable drives include a visit to the underground Lake Mellisani and Dragorati Cave. It is a beautifully scenic drive to Myrtos Beach and the picturesque towns of Assos, Fiskardo and Sami.
DO NOT DIVE in the pool as serious injury may occur.
Close and Tie outdoor umbrellas when not in use to avoid wind damage.
No Indoor furniture permitted outdoors.
People other than those in Guest party may not stay overnight.
Do not flush anything but toilet paper.

Lovely Villa and Surroundings
This villa is wonderful. It is decorated nicely and has beautiful views of the sea and Mt Ainos. The pool was cleaned several times a week and had a nice area to relax and enjoy the sun. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. The walkable beach is very clean and beautiful. We liked that it was an only a 15 minute drive to Argostoli and other beaches. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions and concerns promptly. Totally recommend this villa. We are coming back!

Good & well designed villa
Well equipped new villa with teething problems which hopefully will be resolved. Good layout which was ideal for our group of 6. Shutter blind in downstairs bedroom not functioning & needed to be operated manually on daily basis. One of upstairs air conditioning initially not functioning but got resolved after 3 days. No pool side outside lights which meant unable to sit out later in the evening. However this has been one of our better experience with holiday villas rental & have no reservation in renting this villa again.

Stunning Villa
We had a terrific stay at this villa. Everything was as described - although I may say - better than the pictures indicate (this may change when they update the pictures). The view over the Ionian is incredible and on the other side olive groves. The private pool is great and there's a lot of courtyard space around it (although no safety fences which is a point to note if you have very young ones). There are some design quirks of the villa, such as no internal staircase, but beyond that it is very difficult to fault the place. There are also some strange decisions in what's provided - for example, no sponges which meant we had to buy our own. It wasn't a big issue, just curious since the standard of fit out and also the range of kitchen implements provided was excellent. It's a walk to the beach, although a drive if you have young children. It's not far from Argostoli either (about 15 mins) and whilst pessada itself is quiet, there are lots of interesting things scattered around a 10 minute or so drive radius. Overall, a really pleasant stay. I would highly recommend a stay here.
