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 King sized 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.
During your stay at this villa, you're just a quick walk from Ionian Sea. You'll find features like laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a private pool in the villa.

Wonderful! We booked it again whilst we were there for next year.The villa itself is fabulous, I'm a bit disabled, have to use walking sticks and everywhere was so easy to manage. Having steps into the lovely pool was a bonus.The housekeeper Panagiota met us nearby and we followed her to the property, what a lovely lady she is, so helpful, hardworking and always smiling.It was brilliant having a number of tavernas just a couple of minutes drive from the villa and they were very good.Everything about this stay was spot on and the host Dionysia was so helpful. Thank you

This is one of the best rental homes we have ever stayed in! Perfectly located to explore the whole island, the villa was a haven of peace when returning from our adventures. It is beautifully and stylishly decorated and has every amenity you could wish for. The attention to detail was amazing, from the welcome goodies, to the stunning flowers provided from Panayiota’s garden, to the cooler bags and beach bags provided. The pool area is beautiful, and it often took all our willpower to leave it and set off for our beach swims and hikes. The location is beautiful and peaceful. Dyonisia was the perfect host, accommodating, friendly and very responsive, and Panayiota was a delight, both on check-in and check-out, where she gave us a crash course in Greek phrases. This will definitely be a repeat stay for us should we ever return to beautiful Kefalonia. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Absolute paradise

Cannot get over how wonderful this place was. We’ll be dreaming about it until we make it back here someday!! The house is comfortable and beautiful, with intention in every detail. We stayed 4 nights and wish we’d rented it for our entire trip. It is somehow BETTER than the pictures. The kitchen is fully equipped and eating out by the pool was a dream, the location is perfect, with restaurants/bakeries/markets nearby and the beautiful Myrtos Beach within 10 minutes of the house. I could go on and on. This place is everything you could dream of!!

Perfect Oasis

Villa Kalliroi is our home away from home, and this was our third stay that only deepened our love for this incredible place! Each trip brings a delightful buzz of excitement as we arrive at this peaceful and private oasis. The serene surroundings are perfect for relaxation, allowing us to truly disconnect and forget about time.The swimming pool feels like a refreshing oasis, especially on hot days, while the lush garden, filled with beautiful flowers, is a joy to explore. We were serenaded by the lovely bird songs throughout our stay, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The villa itself is impeccably furnished and spotlessly cleaned by the wonderful Penny, who always greets us with a smile.The location is ideal for discovering the beauty of Kefalonia, with pristine beaches and charming villages nearby, plus an array of wonderful dining options. A heartfelt thank you to Dionysia for creating such a perfect haven for relaxation and unwinding. We wholeheartedly recommend Villa Kalliroi to anyone looking for an idyllic getaway on this stunning island. We can’t wait for our next visit!

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.

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.
