Newly completed for the 2023 season, this two bedroom villa with its own private pool is located in a traditional village setting on the north side of Kefalonia close to Fiskardo.
Downstairs is a large open plan space with living area, excellent kitchen and indoor dining area. The cheerful use of colour will get anyone into a good holiday mood from the start! French windows lead out onto the new dining terrace with lovely views over a typical Grecian scene of old stone village houses, olives groves and cypress trees with the blue haze of the sea beyond.
At the far end of the room close to the colourful staircase, there is an archway leading to a corridor. Here is situated the 2nd bedroom with two single beds and a separate bathroom with shower stylishly decorated and tiled. French windows from the bedroom lead out to the terrace with lovely views.
Up the funky staircase is the master bedroom with king size four-poster bed and French windows leading to a contemporary style balcony with pretty views over the countryside. The en-suite bathroom, also with shower, is decorated with similar tiles.
An extra child (5th guest) can be accommodated in the living room downstairs on a single bed that is cunningly concealed in the bookcase built into the stairway - the bottom drawer pulls out and - lo! a comfortable single bed.
The villa has air-conditioning, WIFI, barbecue and safe as well as twice weekly cleaning.
A lovely feature of this house is the modern artwork and murals of fish and sea-scapes painted by the artist owners. Sweet little fish and delicate mermaids are enchanting - our little ‘psarakia’ swimming joyfully through the house!
Outside, human fish can have fun swimming in the pool! It’s surprisingly larger than it looks with an 8m length/30sq overall. The depth is from 1.40m - 1.80m which is great for any guests who enjoy a deeper end to a pool than is sometimes found. For all members of the family, the jacuzzi at one end is a little touch of soothing luxury!
The main dining terrace is very spacious with outdoor dining area for six shaded by a pergola (please note photos do not show the pergola covering). There is also a separate coffee area under the shade of the olive trees.
Plenty of plants, bougainvillea and greenery has been planted by the owners in November 2022 just as we were taking our photos. In the Spring, the gardens should be much more established and we will take more photos in May 2023.
The surrounding countryside is glorious! Typical scenes of northern Kefalonia abound and there are both rural as well as sea views. The little village of Tselentata is close to the fishing village of Fiskardo - approx a 7 min drive.
Fiskardo has a harbour lined with excellent tavernas, cafes and stylish bars as well as boutique shops, beauty shop, supermarket, pharmacy, chandleries, delicious ice-cream and cake shops, and there are boats for hire (no licence required). It’s also possible to hire a boat for a day privately with skipper.
This is a quiet village setting and would suit couples or small families looking for a comfortable villa within close proximity to Fiskardo and all it offers. For walkers and nature-lovers, there are plenty of paths and trails to discover through beautiful countryside.
