You'll need to pinch yourself when waking up in this Grecian paradise. Nestled among the hills and olive groves of Kefalonia, this characterful home offers privacy and seclusion. Gazing out from your private terrace, the glistening expanse of the Ionian sea beckons. Arrive at the nearest beach after a scenic fifteen-minute drive – if you can resist stopping at the inviting tavernas you'll pass on the way. The open-plan living space offers a uniquely homey retreat, warmed up by the use of wood and rustic natural fabrics. This leads to a mezzanine desk area, ideal for those who can't quite switch off as you'll at least be able to separate work from play. The bedrooms are as blissful as you'd expect, two of which open onto balconies with spectacular sea views. We can't think of a better spot to watch the lights fade and stars emerge. By choosing this abode, you're perfectly placed to explore the best of the island. Assos, a picturesque paintbox village, is within easy reach. Spend the day and visit the crumbling Venetian castle, built in the 16th century to protect against pirates. Even closer to home, you'll find the tiny Fiscardo. This quaint fishing community is a... worthy pit-stop if you're in the mood for fresh seafood or a boat trip around the island.

About Ithaca
The pine-clad island of Ithaca is the antidote to bustling city life. Just off the coast of Kefalonia, you’ll find pretty villages and secluded white stone beaches – we promise the turquoise waters make up for the lack of sand. Though this secluded spot is only reachable by ferry, it’s the best way to explore – enjoy a pit stop at seafront tavernas for local delicacies or dock at the...
