Villa Magdalani enjoys a glorious hillside position above the soft curve of Lourdas Bay (1.4km), where the gentle hum of village life blends with the sound of the sea below. This beautifully appointed home offers the classic charms of Kefalonia in an atmosphere of calm, comfort and easy holiday living. Framed by olive groves and backed by the forested slopes of Mount Ainos, it feels wonderfully private, yet still very much part of the landscape and local community.
Magdalani interior is bright and welcoming, with large windows and patio doors designed to draw your gaze towards the shimmering Ionian Sea. On the ground floor, the open–plan living and dining area provides a comfortable space to unwind, cooled by air conditioning and furnished for relaxed evenings after warm days in the sun. A modern, well-equipped kitchen makes preparing meals an effortless pleasure, whether you’re rustling up a simple breakfast or planning a leisurely dinner on the terrace. Also on this level is a light-filled double bedroom with its own shower room and direct access to the pool terrace, allowing you to step straight from your room into the sunshine. A handy cloakroom with washing machine completes the floor.
Upstairs, the master double and twin bedroom each enjoy the benefit of their own en suite facilities and private balconies. From here, the sea views are particularly captivating, the ever-changing colours of the water, the curve of the coastline, and on clear days, the outline of Zakynthos in the distance. These rooms offer a peaceful situation, ideal for those who relish waking to golden light flooding across the bay.
Life at Villa Magdalani naturally flows outdoors. The inviting private pool, with step access, is perfectly positioned to make the most of the long Kefalonian summer. Sun loungers offer comfortable spots for reading or simply soaking up the warmth, while the covered dining terrace provides an atmospheric setting for lingering meals in the open air. An in-built barbecue encourages evenings spent cooking and dining al fresco, and a table tennis table promises a little friendly competition. Surrounded by citrus trees and Mediterranean greenery, the outdoor spaces are wonderfully restful, a tranquil backdrop to days spent unwinding.
Though the villa feels delightfully secluded, Lourdas is an easy stroll away. The walk down to the beach takes you through the village lanes and is part of the charm of staying here, bringing you close to local tavernas, family-run cafés and handy shops for everyday essentials. Lourdas Beach itself is long, scenic and relaxed, offering soft sands, crystal-clear water and dotted along a selection of welcoming beachside eateries. For those who prefer not to hire a car, Lourdas is well placed: local amenities are within walking distance.
Villa Magdalani is a delightful choice for guests seeking comfort, style and unforgettable views in a location where the pleasures of island life are close at hand. Whether you are looking for quiet days by the pool, leisurely strolls to the beach, or gentle exploration of Kefalonia’s south coast, this villa offers a wonderfully balanced and inviting home-from-home.
