Set high on a cliff, with panoramic Ionian sea views, Villa Rosepetra is your peaceful home away from home amidst the luscious Kefalonian landscape. Surrounded by olive trees and semi-tropical gardens, the villa offers abundant privacy and seclusion and is designed with respect to the local architecture to blend in with its surroundings. Interiors are a clever mix of the traditional and the modern which effortlessly creates an informal, charming ambience.

The open-plan, air-conditioned living area has cosy sofas for indoor lounging and a creamy lemon-coloured farmhouse kitchen with a dining table. The equally attractive bedrooms are well appointed, with the double ensuite and twin sporting French windows which invite the outside in. There’s also a sea-gazing terrace by the pool for sun-soaked relaxing with an ice-cool drink in hand or alfresco dining under the stars. Seamlessly blending tranquillity with comfort, this 3-bedroom residence in Kefalonia’s countryside is ideal for families or friends, looking to get away from it all, into a world of serenity, glowing smiles and tan lines.

Situated in the unspoiled northern part of the island, Villa Rosepetra is exclusively accessible via a private road. And though it feels like a secluded country house amid a luscious forest, it is actually a short, sweet stroll away from the quaint hamlet of Manganos and just a few minutes drive from the nearest beach. Everything you need – including two acclaimed tavernas, a kafenion serving tasty Greek coffee and snacks, a well-stocked mini-market, colourful greengrocers and even a hardware shop – is within walking distance. Yet the famously scenic port of Fiscardo is at 4,8 km and packed with all sorts of attractions which might tempt you to stray away from your base.
