Climb the hilltops of Cephalonia and land at this stunning villa – perched at one of the island's highest points and yet just a five-minute walk from the beach and charming harbour of Assos. From way up here, the panoramas of the village's Venetian castle and the Aegean Sea beyond are astonishing. Hop between the shady terraces and balconies or soak up the sun from the plunge pool – those views will be right there with you. Inside, this beautifully designed, light space has heaps of character thanks to the exposed stone walls and rustic finishes. Over in the bedrooms, each with seperate bathrooms, balcony doors lead out onto a vast, wraparound balcony to soak up those seascapes and the verdant green peninsula. When the sea finally lures you in, roll down the hill to Assos' picturesque horseshoe-shaped harbour. Flanked by candy-coloured Venetian houses, authentic tavernas serving the freshest seafood imaginable, and a sandy bay at its heart, you might find all you need right here. Or hop in the car and scoot along to the dazzling white sands of Myrtos Beach (a fifteen-minute drive) – this place is one of Greece's most photographed shores for good reason. Go discover the hype for... yourself.
