About this property

Kalliroi - Exquisite Villa Designed Exclusively For Two with Large Private Pool.

Superb views
Private gated grounds
8m x 5m Private swimming pool
Bespoke kitchen
Fully air-conditioned

Kalliroi’s backdrop is Kalon Oros. From the patios and pool area there are breathtaking views across the valley to the hillside villages and to the mountains of Aghia Dinati. It’s just a ten-minute drive to the village of Aghia Efimia or the magnificent Myrtos Bay.

Influenced by a need to be surrounded by natural things, Kalliroi has huge charm, a rural retreat inspired by the romantic Greek landscape and countryside.

Not so long ago, this idyll was just a hillside and Dionysia’s ‘mind’s eye dream’.
As owner and designer, and with the help of like-minded people, what she has created here is a tranquil environment, surrounded by natural things and a liking for soft tones, subdued shades and natural materials. There is an understanding that everything should look as it had always been there, that nothing should appear contrived.

There is a sense of natural comfort and elegance, style that is founded on a love and respect for traditions. At its heart it’s not so much a set of rules or statements but rather an all encompassing feeling.

Characterised by local craftsmanship, lime wash is used on all the internal and external walls, the kitchen is bespoke and so is the bed; the shower room is unique, the lounge perfect relaxation.

Constructed in rather the same way as a perfect meal. Each ingredient has been chosen with care, valued for its own sake and then cooked with thought to become a dish that pleases all the senses.

Provided here is a place of peace and tranquillity, a resting place, a refuge for the discerning traveller who, at first sight, experiences that huge sigh of joy and satisfaction.

Double wooden entrance doors access the open plan kitchen/dining area. The kitchen has bespoke wooden worktops and the units are complimented with the Farrow & Ball paint finish. There is a ‘Belfast’ style sink, full sized cooker with feature extractor hood, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer and there is ample draw and cupboard space. The hand finished dining table and chairs together with the aspect lighting complete the look.

The open plan comfortable lounge with feature lighting has two sets of double doors giving access to the bedroom patio on the left and the lounge patio to the front, both patios are marble tiled. The lounge patio is fully furnished and the large table is quite unique.

The double bedroom has a distinctive handmade bed and feature wardrobe, there are double doors giving access to the patio which has seating and an attractive, simple, iron pergola.

The shower room with pastel shades and hand finished walls encompasses a large shower area.

There is air-conditioned throughout the property.

From the patios sweeping steps lead down to the pool area.

The pool is superb, Rosa Gres tiled in distinctive greys. It is 8m x 5m with a maximum depth of 1.5m; quite spectacular with its underwater lighting during the evening. As with the upper patios, non slip marble tiling surrounds the pool. There are comfortable cushioned wooden loungers a large parasol and there is an outdoor shower.

The house is set in approximately 3000 sq. m. of private grounds with gated access.

The area immediately to the front of Kalliroi is paved for easy access and the garden at the front of the property features a Mediterranean themed garden and is primarily planted with roses and other complimentary plants.

The extensive grounds below the pool patio area has been terraced and there are many old olive trees that have been supplemented with additional olive trees already planted. The development of this area will feature complimentary plants interspersed with gravel pathways and hidden areas for relaxation.

This is such a beautiful cottage, impeccably designed, kitted-out and managed. The bed was very comfortable, the shower, very powerful, the pool luxurious and the peace & quiet glorious. I’ve never cried at the end of a holiday before but this one I did.

Beautiful relaxing villa in a lovely location
Myself and my husband had a wonderful holiday in this lovely villa. We couldn’t fault a thing. Everything was provided and communication with Dionysia was fabulous. Panagiota was a real gem, such a lovely obliging lady. We had the feeling nothing was too much trouble for them. Thoroughly recommend this villa. Would definitely come again to this fantastic villa and Island.

Simply perfect!
We had the most wonderful two weeks at the stunning Kalliroi. Just the most perfect villa, so beautifully done up, and so comfortable. It had everything you would need and more. We had the most relaxing time, and Dionysia was the most brilliant host. And we adored the area - what a magical place Kefalonia is. Thank you!

Outstanding/ dreamy
This property is a literally a stay in heaven. Relatively remote (you absolutely will need your own car). Lie by the exquisite pool & listen to the Cicadas during the day or at night sit outside & at about 10pm you get your own fly past by bats. Short drive to one of the most beautiful beach (beware undertow I lost my glasses!) Outstanding I would highly recommend & will be back! Thank you Dionysia glasses!)

Just wonderful
Even though we arrived in kefalonia late, we were met at an agreed meeting point to be led to our beautiful holiday home. Everything was perfect and far exceeded our expectations- the house is so tastefully presented and immaculately clean, as are the gardens and pool. Everything we needed was provided. We spent our stay in complete peace and quiet - the only problem being that we were reluctant to go out as we missed the house and pool so much! Our highlight was sitting watching the birds take their daily dip in the pool, sometimes even as we were swimming, which felt just magical. Thank you to all those who made our stay so perfect, we have already planned our return.

Perfect get away
First the property was amazing. Super clean, private and amazing views. The furnishings were excellent and the reception was 1st class. We were met by the care taker and shown around the house. We were left an amazing gift basket with a few greek staples, wine, fresh eggs, and amazing fresh cut roses. Communication was very easy and thorough. If anything went wrong i would have felt 100% sure it would have been responded too and corrected immediately. We fell in love with kefalonia in no short part due to the kindness we were shown by our host and the beauty of the property. 10/10 recommend

Fantastic Villa!
We had such a lovely stay, communication from Dionysia was excellent, she arranged for someone to meet us in the neighbouring village to guide us to the Villa. The property is situated in a quiet location, it was so peaceful there, the photos don’t do it justice. Supermarket, bakery and 2 tavernas are about a mile away but we never walked it, the car was necessary. Panayiota (housekeeper) was so lovely, she welcomed us like family. I can’t express enough how lovely both Dionysia and Panayiota were, my wife was ill on arrival and both ladies offered help and checked in the following day to see if we needed assistance. Thank you both for making this a special holiday, we were sad to leave and would return without hesitation.

A little piece of heaven
We have stayed in many private holiday rentals and this one lived up to all our expectations. From the direct communication with Dionysia which was prompt and efficient, to meeting with Panagiota, whose hard work meant the Villa was perfect in every way. It had everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday. Thank you both for your attention to detail. We will definitely be back.

Perfect!
Kalliroi lived up to all our expectations. We were met by Penny in the village and led to the villa, where we had the pleasure of meeting Dionysia in person as well. The villa is beautifully situated, and delightfully presented; everything was just so ... perfect! As everyone else mentions - the shower is wonderful. But so are the pool, the terrace and the gardens. Tranquil and relaxing. Penny came to change sheets, bedding and tidy up on three times - she is a delight too! No wonder she is referred to as Dionysia's Right Hand, and a fount of all knowledge. You definitely need a car, but that allowed us to enjoy the highlights of wine tastings near San Gerasimo, and near Lixouri, as well as getting to several of the beaches. The underground lake, and the caves were well worth a visit. Agia Effimia is a few minutes away, as is Myrtos Beach - both worth several visits. But it was always good to get back to "base" and enjoy the pool and the villa. Many thanks to Dionysia and Penny - it more than exceeded our hopes and expectations.

Heaven
We knew that Kalliroi was going to be special as soon as we booked and it more than lived up to our expectations. So private and peaceful, we spent our evenings watching shooting stars, bats, owls, and listening to the goats and the donkey down in the valley.The villa was exquisite and the pool beautiful. We slept brilliantly and didn't want to leave. Dionysia was charming and helpful, assisted brilliantly by Panayiota who looked after us during our stay. Would love to come back it was bliss!❤️🇬🇷

A Dream!
We had the most wonderful time at Kalliroi! It was just perfect. The villa is beautifully designed both in terms of comfort and aesthetics. I could have cried when we first arrived at just how wonderful it all was. The pool was amazing with beautiful views and such a nice, warm temperature! I could have spent the whole time just swimming up and down with the sun on my face, surrounded by the beautiful scenery and listening to the gentle buzz of insects and the occasional bray of a near by donkey. The gardens were so pretty and lush. It was easy to see just how much work went into creating such a Utopia. The villa itself was so comfortable with great air-conditioning, a large comfy bed, a fab bathroom with a loo you could flush paper down (yay!), and so many beautiful touches which just heightened the experience further. We both felt so lucky to be there! The villa is well situated close to Agia Effimia which has lots of Tavernas. Dionysia, the host, was resposive, helpful and just lovely. You could tell she wanted her guests to have the most amazing time. Panagiota, who came in to clean twice during our 10 day stay, was so friendly and warm and welcoming and did an amazing job. She is a credit to Kalliroi. I literally can't praise this place enough. There was, however, one quite large problem - we didn't want to leave!!!!! Thank you so much! We hope we can return one day!

We had the most relaxing holiday staying in this amazing villa set in beautiful gardens overlooking the countryside and mountains beyond. Dionysia has created a fabulous home with an interior that we loved. It had everything we could want to make our stay comfortable. Panagiota the housekeeper was lovely, always greeting us with a smile as she started her morning. The villa is a short drive to the little port of Agia Effimia with lots of lovely tavernas and close to the beautiful Myrtos beach. We also visited Assos and enjoyed the walk to the castle ruins with its amazing views. We would highly recommend this villa, its exceptional with a great host.

A Gem in Kefalonia
What an amazing property, in the peaceful hills above Agia Efimia. Dionysia has created a wonderful space - ideally for couples looking for a fantastic villla, very private but also less than 10 minutes from Agia Efimia. Done to a very high standard, it's bright, well equipped and comes with it's own swimming pool and wonderful views. Communication throughout was really responsive, friendly and proactive. We had the most wonderful 11 days here and would recommend to anyone looking for a private space, to a high quality, yet with easy access to the best Kefalonia offers.

Little slice of heaven
We absolutely loved our recent stay at Kalliroi. The villa is incredibly peaceful and private and we had the most relaxing time. The highlight was the beautiful swimming pool and garden, but the villa itself was well furnished, spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we needed (including excellent air conditioning). It was great to be just a short drive from Myrtos Beach, Assos and Agia Effimia, and we have to give a special mention too for Panagiotta, the housekeeper, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. All in all, very highly recommended.

Peaceful idyll in the hillside, perfect for a couple
The villa is just like the pictures show - perfect size for a couple and decorated beautifully with well equipped kitchen and fantastic shower. It's also in a great spot, away from the more touristy areas and you can only hear goat bells and donkeys - bliss! Dionysia was helpful and prompt with any questions we had and Panagiota was great, meeting us nearby and driving us to the villa. The eggs and strawberries were delicious and they had left wine and flowers for my birthday which was lovely. The place is immaculate, there is a utility room underneath with a washing machine and iron and the pool and hugely comfortable loungers were great when the sunshine appeared. We had a lovely time and found it a very relaxing stay. We are planning to visit different islands as we love Greece but if we returned to Kefalonia, this would be where we would stay.

Perfection
Palace of Serenity is the best way to describe this beautiful villa, we have stayed in many villas and Dionsyia has created a home from home, its has a strange calming effect which is perfect to help you wind down, it’s a perfect base to explore everything Cephalonia has to offer. We was met by Panayiota on our arrival and she welcomed us like family, she was really helpful with tips on where to eat and explore. The fridge was laden with fresh Eggs, Strawberries, Water, Milk, we were also supplied with Coffee Pods & Tea, We will definitely rebook Kalliroi again in the near future. Thank You Dionsyia👍
