It features a well-equipped bathroom, a private swimming pool, and expansive sea views that invite relaxation and contemplation. From the villa, steps lead directly down to the sea, where a small platform offers easy access to the water.

Local Charm and Natural Beauty
Staying at Villa Hevlaska means becoming an integral part of Assos’s village life, celebrated for its slow pace and friendly atmosphere. The villa’s unique position not only offers mesmerizing views up to the Venetian castle and across the picturesque harbor but also connects guests directly with the village’s rustic charm and the warm hospitality of its residents.
Explore and Discover
Assos is renowned for its stunning natural environment, which includes local marine life such as dolphins and monk seals. The area's simplicity and rural feel contrast sharply with the busier ambiance of nearby Fiscardo, offering a more tranquil and authentic experience. In the evenings, the waterfront tavernas of Assos provide a magical and romantic setting for dining by the sea.
Accessibility and Surroundings
The villa is conveniently located within the Municipality of Erisos on the northwestern part of Kefalonia, near Myrtos Beach. Assos can be reached by car or bus from Argostoli, the island’s capital, through a route that offers spectacular views of coastal landscapes, cypress, and pine forests. This small, traditional settlement, with approximately one hundred permanent residents, is celebrated for its graphic beauty, traditional Ionian architecture, and the inviting taverns that line the quayside.
As you unwind in this luxurious waterfront villa, you will feel as though you are stepping out of the sea into a realm of endless blue, with the gentle sea breeze and the rhythmic sound of the waves providing a truly harmonious escape.
