Description Blue View Villa: Lourdata

Let us paint you a picture: You wake up in crisp cotton sheets to the salty scent of sea air wafting through the window. Breathe it in as you step out onto your private terrace, where a turquoise infinity pool stretches before you. This is just the start of your day in paradise.

Nestled in the gentle Kefalonian hills, this Greek villa lets the scenery do the talking, favouring streamlined interiors and pared-back decor. Against the pale colour palette of greys and chalky whites, the vibrant blues of the sea and sky ahead are even richer. Gaze out from a luxury sun lounger while you sip your complimentary wine under the piercing sun.

If you can peel yourself away, there's a whole island to explore. You have a selection of beaches on your doorstep – the nearest just moments from the villa. If you're up for a drive, the paintbox village of Assos is about an hour away. Visit traditional tavernas and indulge your sweet tooth with a spoonful (or two) of honey-soaked baklava.
