Bedroom 2 and 3 share a bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. The garden is set on 3 levels and we grow many herbs which guests are welcome to use in cooking and salads. "Levanta" is the greek word for lavender and we have many of these plants growing in the garden which provide a beautiful smell. There is a beautiful old ruin which was part of the original property that just about survived the terrible earthquake in the 1950's. Next to it is our huge almond tree which provides dappled shade to sit and enjoy the view and listen to the birds sing

This is our 2nd season of hosting. We want people to have a taste of the quality of life that we have here and to share the tranquillity of the garden and the superb view. We said "goodbye" to our farming life in Shropshire, UK and moved out to this beautiful island. We are used to being very active so we brought our road bikes out to Kefalonia and cycle regularly up the hills to keep fit and enjoy the stunning views. There are endless good routes and also fabulous hiking here.. not to mention the great cafes for coffee stops and a quick swim in the sea en-route. We adore where we live. The villa has a lovely garden and is in a peaceful location but you are never far away from shops, beaches, tavernas etc which are just a 4 minute drive away. We hope you enjoy sharing a taste of our Greek life and are here to answer any questions you may have.

Agia Efimia is a good central base. It’s a small fishing village but has everything you need.. ATM, supermarkets, pharmacy, cafes, restaurants, bakeries, butcher, post office, boat hire, scooter hire, clothes shops and many more! There is a bus stop just down the road from the property and our neighbour is the local taxi driver. There are also car and scooter hire shops in Agia Efimia so there are plenty of opportunities to explore the island further. The famous beaches of Myrtos (unbelievable blue sea!) Antisamos (Captain Corelli Mandolin was filmed here) and Assos (pretty cove with hilltop Venetian castle and a choice of restaurants) and the ancient ruins of old Sami are all under 30 minutes away. The church at Old Sami is well worth a visit as it is being restored and has some beautiful wall paintings. In Sami you can catch the ferry to Ithika and mainland Greece. The cosmopolitan fishing village of Fiskardo is 40 minutes drive and well worth a visit to see some of the fabulous yachts visiting the island whilst dining in one of the many harbour front restaurants. There are some very classy shops there too! In this area there are many, many beaches and small secluded coves for you to choose from. You are never too far away from a beach at villa Levanta!
