About this property
Kefalonian Sapphire Villa
Have your morning coffee on the balcony while soaking in the panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Mount Ainos, and the occasionally anchored yacht enjoying the same peace and tranquility as you are. This spectacular villa is so close to the water that you feel as if you are on the bow of your own ship.
Our manicured grounds include BBQ, outdoor dining, and a private pool. When you eventually hear the call of the sea, you may walk down to the sandy beaches of Pessada in about 10 minutes.
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 floor plans 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.
Whether it is the subtle ringing of church bells at Agios Nikolas or the quiet serenity of the Greek island countryside, this villa in the peaceful village of Pessada offers a spectacular immersion of natural beauty, situated between the towering Mount Ainos and the Mediterranean Sea.
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.
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. DO NOT DIVE in the pool as serious injury may occur. DO NOT enter the pool within 15 minutes of applying sunscreen because it will immediately wash off. This results in your lack of UV protection and our cloudy pool water! Close and Tie outdoor umbrellas when not in use to avoid wind damage. No Indoor furniture permitted outdoors. People other than those in Guest party may not stay overnight. Do not flush anything but toilet paper. Guests shall not host parties or large gatherings on the premises without prior written consent from the Homeowner.

We had a truly wonderful 10 days staying in this fabulous villa, in a stunning location. Daphne was an absolute star, and could not do enough to make our stay more welcoming and memorable. The villa was very clean and very well maintained. We can’t wait to go back again!!
We loved this beautiful home. We had a great experience and really appreciated the welcome packet as it made a world of difference for us. The home is brand new and looks even more beautiful than the pictures.
Unbelievable view from the property! With the local beach being so close and so amazing (Pessada Beach) it was really an incredible experience! The property was brand new and Daniel the property manager was very helpful with anything we needed.
This was the perfect setting. Stunning new Villa with views to die for. George kept us updated on the build process and our expectations were surpassed. Daniel was very helpful and provided some much needed local knowledge. Thank you for holiday… we’ll be back.
The house is beautiful: decoration, equipment, cleanliness (a house cleaner came in the middle of week to change linens, towels…). We enjoyed to find welcome gifts (bread, milk, fruit juice, wine…). But the most is the beautiful garden and the swimming pool with an amaizing sea view. At night, élégant lighting enhances the villa and its garden. Thanks to give us the privilege to live this dream week.
Wonderful!
Great location with stunning views .
Comfortable, clean and well equipped villa with plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants within 15mins drive .
Supermarkets , bakeries availabile with Argostoli being just a short drive as well .
Excellent layout for property if you have teenagers with you as they have their own kitchenette/ seating area upstairs.
Excellent communication with owner and property manager with a small welcome basket available on arrival with essentials like milk / bread etc ..
We have already booked for next year !
Beautiful new villa with spectacular views. The pictures can only hint at the awe you experience when looking around on this property. The inside is beautifully decorated and meets your every need. We especially liked the outside stairs to the second level. We had our privacy with 2 families, and could be together at the same time. The second level has a kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, kettle and toaster. Perfect for a late night snack and drink on the veranda watching the yachts gather in the cove below.
George, the owner was easy to communicate with and responded promptly with any questions. He was very helpful with information about renting cars, beaches etc. We had a fantastic experience and will be back!
Excellent séjour dans une magnifique villa tout confort avec piscine et vue imprenable (mer en face et montagne à côté).La maison est très calme, très propre.L accueil a été chaleureux et prévenant tout au long du séjour (ménages intermédiaires inclus).Nous avons adoré l île de Kefalonia qui permet de profiter à la fois des plages et des randonnées.Nous recommandons cette maison et remercions nos hôtes pour leur accueil.

About the host
Hosted by George Totolos
I am a Greek American with deep roots in Kefalonia. My father was born and raised on this idyllic island and still lives there today. Both our sons were baptized in Kefalonia and we continue to visit the island every summer. My wife and I love the spirit and beauty of this island so much that we decided to own a piece of paradise.
Why they chose this property
Whether it is the subtle ringing of church bells at Agios Nikolas or the quiet serenity of the Greek island countryside, this villa in the peaceful village of Pessada offers a spectacular immersion of natural beauty, situated between the towering Mount Ainos and the Ionian Sea.
What makes this property unique
With an unobstructed view of the sea, Kefalonian Sapphire provides a sensation that you are on the bow of ship, alone on the ocean. We have taken the time to create an atmosphere of luxury and serenity when we built our home in Pessada. We would love to share this experience with you.
