About this property

Spacious Secluded Villa With Magnificent Views Near Village

Villa Daphni was built in 2008 following the traditional style of a previously existing house. Positioned on the side of the valley of Pylaros this detached luxurious villa provides magnificent panoramic views both down to the azure Ionian waters of the Bay of Sami and around to the valley and the mountains. With a lovely 10x5 m pool in a beautiful pebble-paved terrace, a nice pergola and an elevated garden for a relaxing seating outside and fully air-conditioned, tastefully furnished interior with brand new upper-market furniture and electrical appliances for comfortable seating inside. Free Wi-Fi internet. Satellite TV. Home cinema. Villa Daphni is fantastic for large families or those travelling with friends. In walking distance from the quiet, picturesque village of Makryotika with traditional bakery, mini market, cafes, taverna. Largest nearby town is Sami, in 15 min drive distance with port, bank, shops, medical centre, international press, post-office car-rental.

Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionian Sea. Its impressive caves, green slopes, azure waters and golden beaches offer the visitor infinite opportunities to relax and bask in beautiful surroundings. Island's mountain Ainos covered with Abies cephalonica trees, is declared a natural park. Kefalonia is also well known for its endangered loggerhead turtle population which nest at Kaminia beach.
Pylaros is one of the most unspoiled areas of the island located very close to the mythical island of Ithaka. The small harbor of the Agia Efimia, a preferred spot of the sailing boats in Ionian Sea, becomes crowded during summer months. Villa Dafni represents one of the best examples of the recently constructed villas in the area, which becomes a preferred destination for those seeking a quiet, untouched corner in the Ioanian Sea.

Tranquility
Fabulous property in a tranquil setting. The mountain and sea views are simply stunning. A fully equipped and comfortable house in private and peaceful surroundings. Pictures can’t do it justice, you have to be there to appreciate it’s beauty.

stunning
Villa Daphni is simply stunning - spectacular views, big open living spaces, gorgeous bedrooms, super kitchen, it was perfect for our large family group - gave us all the space we needed. Agia Efimia is nearby, a lovely little harbourside village with a small supermarket and fabulous bakery. In October, many restaurants were closed but we enjoyed a lovely authentic meal in the local taverna.

Lovely villa in great location
The villa was well equipped and comfortable. George greeted us though we didn't arrive until after midnight due to our flight times and was helpful throughout our stay and arranged a visit from Christina who shared with us places to visit on Kefalonia as it was our first trip which was really helpful. The house was cleaned halfway through the holiday - fresh bedding and towels. The villa is in an excellent location to explore the north part of Kefalonia - there is a local taverna you can walk to or short drive to more cafes/restaurants and local supermarkets. Short drive to great beaches. We would return if we ever go back to Kefalonia

Perfect stay in Kefalonia
A lovely villa, in a beautiful location with outstanding views. Ideal for our party of seven adults (young (20s), older (50s) and oldest (70s). The rooms are all very well proportioned and can all easily accommodate couples. Good facilities for outdoor and indoor cooking. A great pool for swimming and floating. The local taverna has great food and is only 15 minutes walk away. We enjoyed our stay, and were made to feel incredibly welcome by George ( the local manager of the villa) who made sure everything was just right for our stay.

A fabulous villa - we'll be back
Thia villa is amazing and I heartily recommend staying here! It's as beautiful as the photos, and in a wonderful relaxing location. We stayed as a large family group with children, and everyone had a great time relaxing by or playing in the pool, using the BBQ and enjoying the fantastic view. It's lovely and clean, with a well stocked kitchen. There is a small village about 10 mins easy walk, definitely visit the taverna there as it is excellent food. Agia Effemia is a drive, but a short one - the tavernas there were also great, and we rented boats there one day to visit local beaches not accessible by road which was a wonderful day. There is also an excellent dive shop there. Special mention to George for looking after us so well! We arrived late and he organised a lovely dinner of local meze for us. We had a problem with one of our rental cars and he sorted it no problem. We really enjoyed this holiday and this villa - it is a special place. You won't regret booking it!

About the host

Hosted by Fotini Vallianatou

Host profile image
Me and my husband Miltiadis were both born in Ionian islands (Kefalonia and Corfu respectively). Although the last 20 years we live and work in Crete and we have traveled in many places all over the world, we love the Ionian landscape. All these years we spend our summer holidays together with our two sons in Kefalonia, with unbelievable consistency!!

Why they chose this property

There is no year until today that we managed to resist our impulsion to spend some days in Pylaros during the summer. When we decided to built a holiday villa here, we were hoping that the result would make all visitors to leave with the same feeling that we leave Kefalonia every year: sure that we will come back next year!

What makes this property unique

We built Villa Daphni having in mind all the amenities we would like to enjoy during our summer vacation: privacy, all comforts inside, spectacular views and spacious surroundings outside. We chose a spot that lies within the heart of an unspoiled area, yet it is near to some magnificent beaches. We look forward to our visitors' satisfaction as a confirmation of our success.
