Kefalonian Emerald Villa

From the owners of Villa Anna Rebecca, Kefalonian Emerald takes its name from the dense forest of green Fir trees that cover the top of Mount Ainos. This mountain, the tallest on Kefalonia, is in perfect view of the villa along with the Ionian Sea in multiple directions. A 500 meter walk down to the sandy beaches of Pessada will reward you with relatively untouched naturally beautiful coves for swimming.

Built in 2022, this villa has a traditional Greek design with modern touches and comforts. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and several common gathering areas for your group to enjoy. Because the traditional design places the stairs connecting the two floors on the outside of the villa, we offer a kitchenette on the top floor for guests to access food and drink without needing to come downstairs. Be sure to review our floorplans in the photo section to get a feel for the layout. There is air conditioning in every room of the villa to assure your comfort. For your entertainment, we provide two large screen TVs with a library of over 100 movies, satellite programming and high-speed Starlink WiFi throughout.

On the outside, the villa has a covered veranda and a balcony with pergola for shade. Each has bistro tables to enjoy a morning coffee on our beautifully landscaped grounds. In addition, we have a large traditional Greek BBQ with outdoor dining for 6 people. Just a few steps away is a 32m² private pool with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Throughout the property are gardens of Olive Trees, Lavender, Jasmine, Bougainvillea, Oleander and Rosemary. All this with incredible views of the mountain and sea, with the occasionally anchored yacht enjoying the same peace and tranquility as you are.

The villa is conveniently located to many island activities. You can take a peaceful walk along the rural roads and paths of this cliffside village. Within 10 minutes, you can walk to the secluded coves that make up the small beaches in Pessada. Nearby, you can walk to the port in Pessada where you can have a souvlaki and beer at the outdoor cantina.

Within a 10-minute drive, you can visit St. George's castle, built in the early 16th century. Within a 15-minute drive, you can visit the monastery of Saint Gerasimos for a glimpse of its ornate interior and the mummified body of the saint himself. Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, can also be reached with a 15-minute drive. You can visit Argostoli for the fruit markets, souvenirs, bakeries, cafes or many wonderful restaurants. Be sure to spend an evening in the square where you can have an ice cream, frappe, crepe or mixed drink while watching the town come alive and gather. Other notable drives include a visit to the underground Lake Mellisani and Dragorati Cave. It is a beautifully scenic drive to Myrtos Beach and the picturesque towns of Assos, Fiskardo and Sami.

We welcome you to enjoy our home as much as we do on the idyllic Greek island of Kefalonia.
