Kefalonia has for many years been hidden from the tourist map until the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin suddenly brought the spectacular beauty of the island to everyone’s attention. Although the island has its own airport and visitor numbers are increasing Kefalonia still has that authentic Greek charm that other islands have long lost. Villa Eirene is based in the south east corner of the island but being a small island all parts are easily accessible so head into Argostoli and go shopping in 30 minutes or an underground boat ride on the lake at Melissani. Head to the north and you’ll find celebrities and the very wealthy anchoring in the bay at Fisicardo. Sample the delights of the islands own wineries especially the Gentilini winery close to the airport. Enjoy Gyros (a local type of kebab) on the waterfront in Argostoli or simply laze away on a beach and top up the tan. Kefalonia caters for all. Our villa is designed to give you the comforts of home, so you will have a TV and Wi-Fi, a dining table for 6 indoors and a patio table for an additional 6 outside by the pool. A fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher and washing machine so you don’t need to cram the suitcase with clothes for every single day. We have 6 sun loungers around the pool so everyone can soak up the beautiful Kefalonia sunshine. We also have two large 3 seater settees which mean you can relax indoors too and the air conditioning will keep everyone cool Fancy a barbeque, no problem. With lots of small supermarkets in Katelios or Skala or the larger supermarkets near Argostoli fresh food for that BBQ is easily available. Sleep in comfort; the master bedroom has a double bed, en-suite bath/shower and toilet facilities. Sit on the large balcony and enjoy a morning coffee while you watch the sun rise from behind the nearby hills or watch it set over the sea and the nearby island of Zante. The second double bedroom is downstairs and has direct access to the pool area, so any keen swimmers can use this without disturbing the sleepy heads of the family. Upstairs we also have a further two bedrooms each with two single beds. A cot is available on request. Finally to avoid the wash room arguments there are two walk in shower rooms and toilets one upstairs and one downstairs in addition to the en-suite . We would highly recommend the use of a car both for ease of access to the villa and to make the most of your stay on the island. The Villa has ample parking for two cars.
