High-end, sea view, 5 bed villa with Chef, maid, large pool + skippered boat

The sea view Estate located near the historic St. George Castle (the old Venetian capital of the island) - has been in our family since 1604 and has been passed down through the generations. We began restoring the Estate and the old Olive Mill in 2004 as a hobby, whilst Lysander was serving as a Greek diplomat in Vienna.

The vision was to turn this wider property, which controls the views with olive groves rolling all the way to the Ionian Sea, into an exclusive summer retreat, showcasing life at the Estate through the centuries. The project was completed in 2009/10, with a refined holiday villa for discerning travelers that reflects our shared passion of interior design.

BEYOND CEPHALONIA
Beside offering high-end villa accommodation and bespoke concierge services in Cephalonia and other Greek islands, our company, FILALEXIA S.A., also provides yacht chartering to any destination within Greece. Quite a few guests have become repeater clients.

- This charming villa lies within a wider ancestral olive tree Estate with a restored 18c. Olive Mill. A place with heritage, and an authentic flavour of Cephalonia's past
- It includes an amazing Chef, thus a culinary and wine destination
- It can offer memorable day trips with a sleek motor-boat giving guests the opportunity to be in secluded bays and swim/ snorkel in crystal clear waters.

We love the place linked to our family for generations because it exudes grandeur, but also for its beauty, tranquility and un-spoilt countryside

The Millstone Villa, with its inviting pool, luscious garden and gourmet cuisine, is the perfect place for all those looking to de-stress!

Yolanda, your private Chef, has an extensive repertoire and is instantly adored by everyone who stays at the villa. Once you choose what you want to eat from the wide-ranging menu, she prepares your meals using the freshest local produce and top-quality ingredients. Having a private chef means guests do not have to worry about the shopping, cooking or kitchen clearing up.

We attach great importance to the top notch service provided by our staff. Upon arrival at the villa, guests will be offered a complimentary welcome hamper containing wine and local products as well as a folder with invaluable tips on excursions, must-see sights and top restaurants.
A wide range of activities and concierge services are offered to guests such as: day boat trips with the private motor boat, water skiing, kayaking, snorkeling, and massage at home.

19th c. OLIVE MILL and threshing floor : Besides having full access to the villa, its private garden and pool, guests may also visit and dine at the magnificently restored olive mill located within the wider estate. For many, this is a memorable and once in a lifetime experience.

WINE TASTING
With 3.500 years long history of cultivating grapes, Cephalonia (Kefalonia), is an ideal destination for wine connoisseurs. Most of the island’s wines are made predominantly from indigenous grape varieties, the most well-known being Robola, a lime-scented wine grape of Cephalonia to be sipped, as pointed out by Janis Robinson of the Financial Times, ‘ with memories of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin ’.
Another particularly interesting wine is that which grows from the rare red Mavrodaphne grape in the Lixouri area. Make sure to sample this dry, red wine which has a hint of cherry and wild berry flavour.
A visit to a Cephalonian winery, such as the traditional Haritatos vineyard is certainly a must!
