Kanelo Villa

Set in the heart of the Kefalonian countryside, surrounded by rugged hills and timeless villages, this beautifully crafted stone villa offers a peaceful escape. Blending the charm of traditional architecture with light-filled, contemporary interiors, Kanelo is designed for those seeking comfort, space and views - landscapes that have remained virtually unchanged over the years. 

Inside, the well-appointed accommodation comprises a spacious open-plan living area where soft natural light pours through wide glass doors. Here, guests will notice a quirky decorative addition from the owner - a used competition road bike from the 1972 Munich Olympics - a charming and unexpected detail that adds a touch of personality.

The living area opens directly onto a generous balcony furnished for al fresco dining, the perfect spot for slow breakfasts or relaxed evenings while taking in the elevated landscape of olive groves and distant sea views. The contemporary kitchen is well-equipped and includes a breakfast bar, plus a separate cloakroom can be found.
A double bedroom completes this level, featuring an en suite shower room and doors leading both to a private balcony with captivating vistas and to the exterior dining area.

Internal stairs lead down to two further double bedrooms, each with its own en suite shower room and direct access to a comfortable covered seating area and inviting pool terrace. This level can also be accessed via external steps from the parking area, offering added convenience and flexibility for guests.

The nearby village of Makryotika provides a taste of authentic Greek village life, with two friendly tavernas and a local butcher within walking distance. Further dining options, a supermarket and a popular bakery can be found within just a few minutes' drive. 

On the coast, Agia Effimia (4.8 km) is a charming, picturesque fishing village known for its scenic harbour, pastel-coloured buildings and crystal-clear waters. Offering a tranquil atmosphere, it has a wide choice of amenities including seaside tavernas, cafés, supermarkets, bakeries, boat hire, diving opportunities and several small coves ideal for a quick swim or snorkel.

The central location of Kanelo Villa means some of Kefalonia’s most treasured beaches can be reached within a short drive, including the celebrated Myrtos Beach (6 km) and Agia Paraskevi (9 km). Foki Beach (25 km), in the Fiscardo region, is also well worth a day trip, boasting a beautiful harbour setting on the island’s northern tip.

A little closer to home, Assos (13km) is a must. This picturesque peninsula village, with its dramatic Venetian fortress and pretty waterfront houses, is one of the island’s most photographed spots, perfect for a leisurely stroll, a scenic lunch, or a sunset drink by the water.
