The clue is very much in the title for this fantastic, couple-sized villa set enviably close to Trapezaki beach in the south of Kefalonia. The slightly elevated position means you look straight out to the deep blue of the Ionian across the large infinity pool and lush, sub-tropical garden. There are other villas in the immediate vicinity, but the houses are angled away from one another, and the mature gardens promise a very good level of privacy for such an incredibly desirable spot.

It’s a wonderfully decadent place to wake up to, with the pool just a few steps from the bedroom and a wide sunny terrace where you can relax with your coffee or a cocktail or just drink in the glorious view. The pool is a great size for a one-bedroom property, with the added indulgence of a seated Jacuzzi section built in.

Trapezaki beach is a mere ten-minute walk away, equipped with sun loungers and a taverna for those salty-skinned, sun-kissed days when it feels like summer could last forever. There are several other tavernas in the surrounding area and many more within a short drive, making this a really relaxing base for a honeymoon or anniversary.

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.
