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 the mountains of Aghia Dinati. It is a ten-minute drive to the village of Aghia Efimia or the magnificent Myrtos Bay. Influenced by a need to be surrounded by natural elements, Kalliroi possesses immense charm, serving as a rural retreat inspired by the Greek landscape and countryside.

Recently, this idyll was merely a hillside and Dionysia's conceptual vision. As owner and designer, she has created a tranquil environment with the assistance of like-minded individuals, surrounding it with natural elements, soft tones, subdued shades, and natural materials. There is an emphasis on ensuring everything appears intrinsic to the location, avoiding any sense of contrivance. The property exudes natural comfort and elegance, a style rooted in tradition and respect. It embodies not a set of rules or statements but rather a pervasive feeling.

Characterised by local craftsmanship, lime wash is applied to all internal and external walls. The kitchen is bespoke, as is the bed; the shower room is unique, while the lounge offers perfect relaxation. Constructed similarly to a well-prepared meal, each element has been carefully selected, valued for its own sake, and thoughtfully integrated to create a pleasing overall experience. Kalliroi provides a peaceful sanctuary, a refuge for the discerning traveller who experiences instant joy and satisfaction upon arrival.

Double wooden entrance doors lead to the open-plan kitchen/dining area. The kitchen features bespoke wooden worktops, units finished with Farrow & Ball paint, a ‘Belfast’ style sink, full-sized cooker with feature extractor hood, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, and ample drawer and cupboard space. The hand-finished dining table and chairs, along with aspect lighting, complete the look. The open-plan lounge, featuring comfortable seating and lighting, has two sets of double doors accessing the bedroom patio on the left and the lounge patio at the front. Both patios are marble tiled, with the lounge patio fully furnished and equipped with a distinctive polished concrete table comfortable for up to four and large parasol.

The double bedroom includes a handmade bed and feature wardrobe, with double doors leading to the patio, which features seating and a simple iron pergola. The shower room, adorned with pastel shades and hand-finished walls, encompasses a spacious shower area.

The property is air-conditioned throughout.

Beneath the patio areas, a basement with separate entrance door has been created for storage and additional utility. This thoughtfully designed space provides guests with essential amenities including a washing machine, dryer, and ironing facilities, ensuring a convenient and comfortable stay.

Sweeping steps from the patios lead down to the pool area. The pool, tiled with Rosa Gres in distinctive greys, measures 8m x 5m with a maximum depth of 1.5m. It is quite spectacular, especially with its underwater lighting in the evening. Non-slip marble tiles surround the pool area, which includes cushioned wooden loungers, a large parasol, and a unique outdoor shower.

The house is situated on approximately 3000 sq. m. of private grounds with gated access. The paved area immediately to the front of Kalliroi ensures easy access. The large Mediterranean-themed garden at the front of the property is primarily planted with roses and other complementary plants. The extensive terraced grounds below the pool patio area feature old olive trees, supplemented with additional plantings. This area's development will include complementary plants interspersed with gravel pathways and hidden areas for relaxation.

Wonderful

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.

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!

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.

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!)

Fantastic, comfortable villa in beautiful location.

Very comfortable well appointed modern villa in a beautiful, countryside location. Set in a lovely garden with nice private pool. Handy for Agia Efimia but good central location means all parts of the island are easy to reach. The villa is close to Maklithari taverna in Makriotika.

Fabulous private villa

This property looks even better in real life as in the photos. It’s clean, well equipped and stylishly furnished. We loved our lazy days by the lovely pool, enjoying the setting. The villa is a great base to explore nearby beaches and restaurants. Dionysia couldn’t have been more helpful. If it’s available, book it, you can’t go wrong!

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.

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.

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!❤️🇬🇷

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.

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

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.

Paradise

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.

You honestly couldn’t ask for more, this place is just wonderful in every respect. The house is really well equipped (must also say that the shower is excellent!) and the pool is one of the nicest we have seen. The grounds too are beautiful and you can really see how much thought has gone into them. To top it off, the location of the villa is excellent, giving you quick easy access to many top spots, including Myrtos beach (10 min drive), Assos (20 min drive - a must!) and Fiskardo (35 min drive) We will most definitely be back!

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.
