About this property
Bathed in sunshine and set in one of Kefalonia’s most unspoilt corners, Villa Epona offers a peaceful retreat designed for restorative stays. Clean architectural lines and a muted, earthy palette create an immediate sense of calm, while the scent of sea air and gentle natural light set the pace for slow island living.
Inside, the open-plan layout is both stylish and understated. Pale timber beams, soft neutral furnishings, and subtle mid-century touches define the living area, while the modern kitchen is well-appointed for relaxed meals at home. Two double bedrooms offer quiet comfort, each with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the sea and surrounding mountains. Sleek, contemporary bathrooms complete the home’s soothing aesthetic.
The outdoor space is equally inviting. A thirty square metre private pool is set within a wide terrace bordered by glass balustrades for uninterrupted views. A pergola offers welcome shade, with cushioned daybeds and alfresco lounging areas providing the perfect setting for unhurried afternoons. The garden is modest and green, merging seamlessly with the landscape.
Villa Epona is a serene base for coastal walks, leisurely swims, and quiet moments shared. It’s a place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of the island.
Located on Kefalonia’s tranquil northern coast, Villa Epona offers a serene retreat with sweeping views of olive groves and the distant sea. Its peaceful setting invites slow mornings, meandering walks, and relaxed evenings that ease into night. Though wonderfully private, the villa lies within easy reach of Agia Effimia, a lively harbour town where pastel façades, moored yachts and waterside tavernas showcase the island’s charm.
Agia Effimia is the kind of place that invites lingering. Order fresh seafood at a harbourside table, browse local boutiques, or sip an iced coffee as you watch the world go by. From here, it’s easy to set off on boat trips around the coast or hop aboard a sailing excursion to nearby Ithaca. The village also has bakeries, mini-markets and pharmacies for essentials, making it a convenient yet low-key base.
Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice. The famous Myrtos Beach, with its electric blue waters and dramatic limestone cliffs, is just a short drive away. Quieter coves and swimming spots can be found all along the nearby coastline, many with clear shallows ideal for snorkelling. Inland, the countryside is dotted with charming villages like Makriotika, Divarata and Assos, where traditional tavernas serve hearty Kefalonian fare and time moves at its own pace.
Nature here is deeply restorative. Follow winding paths through wildflower-strewn hills, explore hidden monasteries, or take a scenic drive through the island’s pine forests and mountain roads. For something truly magical, visit the Melissani Cave Lake, where the sun filters through a collapsed roof to light the water from below in mesmerising shades of turquoise.
Villa Epona’s location is ideal for guests looking to disconnect without compromising on access. Everything feels within reach, yet never hurried. Whether you’re exploring, swimming or simply staying still, this corner of Kefalonia lets you move at your own rhythm, one slow, sun-warmed moment at a time.
