The Sea Before Us

It’s just olive trees and the glistening sea for as far as the eye can see from the poolside perch of this characterful villa fringing FIskardo – a blissfully quiet corner of Kefalonia. Inside, while the traditional interiors might not appeal to everyone, you can’t help but swoon at those balconies leading off every bedroom, each with a separate bathroom. Location wise, you’re just a lazy twenty-minute stroll down to the local beach. And even closer, you'll find a family-run taverna for meze plates and a glass of crisp Retsina. After something buzzier? FIskardo’s harbour-side restaurants (just a five-minute drive) are just the ticket.

Home truths:
*There is off-road private parking at this home
*The road leading to the villa can be a little bumpy, so you’ll need to take it slowly
*There are stairs within this home which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*Two of the bathrooms have shower mixer bath taps rather than standing showers, which might not suit all guests
*There’s a supermarket located within walking distance of the home to pick up essentials
