Description from owner

Description

Our house, set in a beautifully landscaped garden with private pool, is finished to the highest standard with an Italian kitchen with marble work surfaces, fully tiled bathrooms, complete air conditioning. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Two have their own private view balconies in addition to our large covered balcony.

The outdoor terrace, in the midst of roses and bird of paradise, reached through two sets of doors from the living room, overlooks the pool, patio area, garden, new yoga/stargazing balcony by the pool and our own olive grove. The dining area, with its own doors and balcony looks out to an ancient olive tree, fruit orchard, stone barbecue, and our private bocce ball/ring toss court and golf putting pitch. A large 25 m2 balcony on the upper floor has stunning views over the sea and down the coastline and provides a romantic, private getaway perfect for pre-dinner drinks or morning coffee. The house is furnished with a mix of charming antique and luxurious contemporary furniture. The area surrounding the villa is tranquil, rural, and picturesque, ideal for a walking holiday. Yet also in a convenient location for shopping and wonderful beaches. We provide guides to local and island walks and beaches.

A captivating villa that won't disappoint.

Further details indoors

Our luxurious villa is extra large with an area of 180 square metres so guests have room to spread out.

Our goal has been to create a home away from home, a truly comfortable place to return to after a day of sight seeing around the island, to spend relaxing around the pool, or to have family fun and/or adult competition on our new bocce ball court. A flat screen TV and new Ipod docker ensure up-to-date entertainment.

All bedrooms are furnished with top-of-the line super luxury imported mattresses, have en suite bathrooms and are air conditioned. The fourth bathroom is in a convenient location on the main floor near the pool.

The master bedroom has an extra large king (not just queen) size bed. All bathrooms are finished to the highest standard. Three have large glass and tile shower enclosures. The master bath has a jacuzzi tub with shower and double sinks in a vanity with marble surface.

Further details outdoors

The fully tiled pool is designed at 10 metres in length to allow lap swimming as well as general use. Our pool maintenance is second to none with the waters always crystal clear.

The patio pool area is furnished with sun umbrella and lounge chairs for six. A traditional large stone barbecue is located just off the dining room.Three sets of double doors from the main floor lead to patios,the bocce ball court, our own private fruit and olive orchard, and our garden that has been landscaped with many bougainvillea, roses, jasmine, bird of paradise, and numerous fruit trees (our garden is organic with no herbicides used!).

Our new private bocce ball/boules/golf putt court is located under the olive trees and will provide you with lots of adult and family fun and entertainment.This Italian game, related to lawn bowling, is increasingly popular throughout the world. (Balls and rules provided)

Besides the individual balconies off two of the bedrooms, the house has a wonderful large private covered balcony offering stunning views over our own olive grove to Mount Ainos, the sea and the coast. This can either be your private getaway or a place to share morning coffee or a bottle of Kefalonia's famous robola wine. At night, the lights of the villages along the coast are rivaled only by the stars.

After viewing the moonrise over Mount Ainos, calm descends.

Getting around

A local bus runs from our village into Argostoli once each way each day. We do feel that a car is the best way to see everything. Bicycles can be rented on the island. Our area is wonderful for walking with many small lanes and paths. Our location is ideal- just far enough away from the airport but convenient for getting to excellent supermarkets and not far from Argostoli itself. It is central enough to allow easy day trips to both the north and south of the island but in the midst of lovely beaches so that there is no need to travel anywhere if you would rather stay local. The extra clear waters at the beaches near the villa are likely the best on the island- a superb experience.

Interaction with guest

We have two managers to assist you, so one is always available. Our friend, Alexandra, speaks both English and German as well as Greek and will send you directions to the villa She has lived on the island for many years and is extremely knowledgeable. Our other friend, Mike, will be your first go-to for any issues and will show you everything at the villa. He is British and has lived in our neighbourhood for several years and will be happy to give you advice on restaurants and beaches.

Villa Isadora was very spacious and well presented and thought out. I loved the garden - it was beautifully green. The pool is lovely to cool off or do a few lengths!!The air conditioning was very welcome as there was a heatwave whilst we were there.Dimitri was waiting for us to show us around and was available if needed.The location of the villa means that a car is essential to get around but the roads are largely good.Jane gave us some very helpful information about beaches, restaurants and shops. Thanks to Denise as well for her tips and linen changes!! Recommended!

Response from the owner Thank you so much for the lovely review. The downstairs bedroom does not have the fabulous views that the other two upstairs bedrooms have but fortunately makes up for this because it is very spacious and private, has its own large bathroom,and has the same super comfortable beds and quality finishes.
