About this property

Pretty villa with private pool and panoramic sea views - edge of Agia Efimia

Villa THEA has its own private entrance and grounds. It is furnished in a fresh contemporary style and is well appointed and maintained by the owners and has unrivalled views over the bay towards the island of Ithica and Sami harbour with yachts of all sizes, and fishermen and ferry boats coming in and out throughout the day. At night this view is full of sparkling lights from Sami and the other villages leading up the valley to the Aenos National Park, not to mention the big 360 degree sky full of stars and the moon. From your bed in the morning watch the spectacular sunrise behind Ithica Island ! Conveniently close to the harbour village of Agia Efimia the location of the villa however is so peaceful that you can hear the birds singing in the trees and the sheep on the hills behind.

Arriving at the private parking area, stone steps lead down through the upper garden terraces with their bourgainvilleas, lavender and fruit trees, to the villa entrance courtyard and front door.

On the ground floor is the Kitchen/Diner and the Living Room both with french-doors that lead out onto the south facing terrace with its amazing panoramic sea views (probably the best in the area). Here there is plenty of room to dine and relax in the sun or shade on comfy furniture under the parasols and also the outdoor dining table and gas barbecue.

Gentle stone steps lead down from the upper terrace to the sunny pool terrace. Here is the private pool with its surrounding stone tiled areas with sun loungers, drinks tables and parasols. The stunning 180 degree sea view and the garden setting makes this a perfect place to play and relax.

Upstairs are two identical double bedrooms both with large en-suite shower rooms, comfy king-size beds, air-conditioning, wardrobes and south facing balconies with sea views.

The large lower ground floor Bedroom has a comfy double bed, a wardrobe and cupboards, nd its own en-suite bathroom with wc, washbasin, & bath/shower.

To reach the villa from Agia Efimia harbour take the quiet, tree lined road with its pedestrian footpath and shaded seating as it winds along the edge of the sea past a few houses and restaurants with steps down to several very pretty white shingle/pebble coves with crystal clear water. In moments you get to a small road/track that climbs up to the villa - it is about 500 metres long, mostly concrete, and quite steep in places so car-hire is recommended which will allow you to see all the lovely other places on the island and even take the ferry across to Ithica if you wish. (Some guests however have chosen to combine walking down with taking a taxi back up).

BOOKING & PRICING:
Based on seven nights minimum stay, any number of additional nights are available thereafter. We don't have fixed arrival/departure days as flights can often be obtained any day of the week/weekend. So we are happy to be flexible on the length of stays (e.g. 10 days) subject to availability, and the price charge for extra nights is simply the relevant nightly rate. Stays can span across months. Occasionally stays of less than seven nights are available.
The basic price is for the Villa based on up to four people sharing. A supplement is payable for a fifth/sixth person.
The villa is approved by and registered with the Greek Authorities - Ref. No AMA00000858760.

TOURIST TAX
In '24 Greece applied a new Tourist Tax (called the "Climate Change Resilience FEE") of 10€ per night for villas, payable by guests. It has to be collected by us, your hosts, ON ARRIVAL and sent to the Greek tax authority. We will provide you with a separate receipt for this.

Also available is our other villa "Villa Artemis"(VRBO Ref. No. 1883192). Both villas can be rented together for larger groups/families.

Fabulous villa
The villa was lovely and the seaview great. We had a fantastic week and really enjoyed Agia Efima. This part of Kefalonia was unspoilt but there were plenty of bars and restaurants to choose to eat and drink. The villa was up a steep concrete roadway and I would suggest a car is essential. The pool was lovely and perfect to cool of during the hot sunny days. The villa itself was well equipped and had 2 nice identical ensuite double bedrooms with air conditioning, balconies and seaviews. A large fridge-freezer and dishwasher were very handy as was the patio with table chairs and umbrella, great for having breakfast and lunch. The hosts, Nigel and Deanne were great, accessible and answered any of our queries. I'm sure we will return.

Get away from it all!
This beautiful villa is the perfect place to get away from it all! Set up on a hill the views are spectacular, so relaxing to sit watching the boats come in while listening to birdsong or the tinkling of goats and sheep bells. Really enjoyed the pool area too, again, lovely views! The villa is kept spotlessly clean and the hosts Nigel and Dianne are really welcoming, accommodating and helpful. The resort has everything you need for a restful holiday, tavernas, (lovely food) supermarkets and some gift shops too. There is a steep drive up to the villa so a car would be needed but it’s only a few minutes and well worth it for the views! We visited Sami and the underground lake in the caves, Mytos beach (Alessandro’s at the top did a fabulous lunch and so reasonable), Fiskardo and Argosttoli. Fantastic places with such history. We’d definitely go back. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Stunning Location
I cannot praise our experience and stay high enough. From initially booking the accommodation, Nigel and Deanne were very attentative and helpful with communication and recommendations. The property is outstanding and the views of the bay, will take your breath away. Extremely clean and comfortable throughout, with all the facilities you will need throughout your vacation. The village is a perfect location, for exploring the entire island. We hired a car for our complete stay and made good use of it. Highly recommend you consider this as well. A great choice of local tavernas in the village, which we all pretty much visited. Being a lover of seafood, I was well catered for. It was such a pleasure to meet Nigel and Deanne. A truly lovely couple and great hosts who understandably love Kefalonia, which they enjoy sharing with their visitors. Please use their extensive knowledge and recommendations, to enhance your visit even more. Thank you again, for such a wonderful vacation. I will definately be returning to your beautiful villa.
