Nearby the villa: The villa has breathtaking views of the sea south to Zakinthos and across the bay to Mount Ainos, which reaches 1,628 m (5,100 ft) and is covered by a black forest of indigenous, rare pine trees. Nearby are the beaches of Aghios Thomas, Lourdas, Pesada, Avithos and Lassi each with their own restaurants (the region of Livathos offers many beautiful sandy beaches for those who want to spend quiet and secure holidays). Also nearby is the castle of St George (16th century Venetian castle - the capital of Cephalonia up to 1757) with all round views and clifftop restaurants, Mount Ainos national park and Mazarakata graves (post Minoan).

Can’t fault the villa. William the villa manager was brilliant, arranged transport, boat trips, dinner reservations. You absolutely need a car and there isn’t much in the local village but enough. Great shop and restaurant / bar.
Definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful property with lots of space inside and out. Lovely pool area and tennis court plenty of parking, sensational view. Short drive down to local beach ( too arduous a walk in the heat with little ones). Cute little village again walkable without little ones couple of shops and waterholes. We loved it. The manager was super helpful and promptly sorted any problem we had. Would highly recommend.

An amazing villa that comfortably accommodated 15 people of 3 generations. The house was fully equipped at a fantastic location with a stunning view sea view. We loved the villa greenery, the pool and tennis court. The property manager Pauline was very helpful before and during our stay. Staying at this villa really made our family holiday spectacular!

I was nervous about selecting a Villa for my family of 14 due to individual needs, preferences and expectations. This Villa was great. In fact, it was nicer than the description and photos found on line. There are two floors. The upper level boasts of four nice size bedrooms with on suite bathrooms, a large kitchen and living room which overlook the sea and other islands. The lower level has two large bedrooms with bunk beds and enough room for kids to play. There is a washer/dryer and an extra frig as well. We also found tennis rackets, snorkel equipment, bocce sets. Our family even contributed 2 beach chairs! The grounds of the villa are great! We ate all our meals at a lovely large table outside under a covered patio. There is a nice size pool with lounge chairs for sunbathing. The view is again spectacular. On the lower level grounds, there’s a tennis court which could use some updating but is fine to play on. Next to the court is a grassy area, great for bocce or boules or to kick around a soccer ball. Across from the villa is a cute gift shop. The village of Spatia have a few eateries and two small markets all within walking distance if you don’t mind hills. The Sandy beach is a five minute drive or a 15 minute walk down hill. It has a lovely taverna where we frequently ate. The owner of the villa is marvelous to deal with. And, the caretakers are lovely and accommodating. All in all, we had a fabulous experience which was a relief for me, the organizer.

This was our group’s second visit to Villa Eucalypti, the first back in 2018. It’s a wonderful villa in an amazing location over-looking the Ionian Sea. The pool is huge and you’re only a short walk/drive from Spartia Beach and the restaurants in and around the town of Spartia. A highly recommended property.

We were three families, kids from 3 to 12, altogether 13 people. The house was excellent for us. Enough room for everyone, well equipped, good ac, nice pool and a tennis court. The views were magnificent! The closest beach was 3 min drive or 15min walk, really nice small beach with both sand and rock, with also a couple of restaurants. A special recommendation to a quiet Amandakis beach (8min by car) with nice snorkeling and cliff jumping! The food in the restaurant in the village was nice (Cava Liekas) and also can recommend the one near the beach (Isolas).
About reaching the island: If you arrive to Kefalonia from the main land, take into account that the ferry from Kyllini takes 1,5h (Levante ferries) and goes 4 times a day - our flights from Athens weren’t the best possible and we had to leave a day earlier to catch the flight.
On the week that we visited, the price was high, but if it seems ok for you, it is definitely worth it.

A wonderful property for accommodating multiple families holidaying together. Incredible views, great pool, very effective air conditioning, incredibly helpful property manager. We had a brilliant time and would happily stay again in the same group.

Everything was terrific. The check in process was super easy (thanks Paula!), lots of terrific information and great recommendations! It’s located in Spartia which has a small town center with the amenities you need, it’s close to the beach, and also close to Argostoli. A perfect place to host our large family. Thanks!!

Lovely villa offering ideal layout & accommodation for a 3 generation, 12 person family. Add in the wonderful views, the fantastic pool, the helpful manager & owner and you have a fabulous holiday just like ours!

We had a much needed week in the sun booked very last minute due to all the Covid challenges. Nicolas and Paulina were more than helpful in responding to our many questions. The villa is fabulous for a large group of three families. Lots of space inside and outside meant that it never felt crowded for our group of 11. The tennis court was a great addition also. You need a car but we explored local beaches and restaurants in the village and further afield. A beautiful island. Unspoilt and a great escape. Def recommend.

The villa proved an excellent choice for our family holiday.

We have over the last 2 decades tried many villas around the world. Villa Eucalypti is until now our best experience.
The villa has a unique location with a stunning view, walking distance to a nice beach and to a couple of tavernas. However the walking distance is (especially for the beach) quite hilly. The villa is well equipped, and evrything is working properly.
Staff was kind and helpfull.
We would love to come back, and we can give this villa our very best recommendations

It was our first time in Kefalonia and we loved both the Island and the Villa. The Villa is extremely well equipped and laid out. The rooms on the lower levels are perfect for teenagers (we had 6 teenagers and 4 Adults). The views from the ground floor are stunning. The outside space with the pool, tennis court and huge garden were perfect,We had such fun times out there.The manager of the property a lady called Pauline is wonderful, she is very friendly ,full of useful information and efficient. The beach is a 5 minute drive which you could walk but it's uphill on the way back and can be tiring on a hot day. There is a fantastic restaurant up in the centre of the village which served delicious food at a very reasonable price. There was also lots of great beaches to visit, some with water sports/ sailing.
Also the owner Nicholas was very approachable and responded well to emails/ enquires
We would definitely recommend it and will hope to return again to the villa very soon.

We were a four generation family comprising of 8 adults and 8 children (aged 6 to 13). This house was stunning. The moment we walked through the front door to the most outstanding view across the south of the Island we knew we were going to be incredibly spoilt. We were not disappointed. The facilities were superb and the layout of the house with the kids in two extremely large bedrooms downstairs on the ground floor worked really well. The house felt constantly spacious despite there being 16 of us. The area was perfect for exploring all that Kefalonia has to offer and actually the walk down the hill through the trees to the local beach took some beating. We were swimming with the turtles on our doorstep! The house was spotless and well equipped and Pauline welcomed us on our arrival and was very kind and showed us around. The tennis court held many a tournament with children and adults. The nearby village has two shops one very friendly modern one attached to a bar and the other a more traditional greek shop. The larger supermarkets are only a 15 minute drive away. There are a couple of local restaurants that are well worth a visit (in the village and down by the beach). We really had the most fantastic time in beautiful unspoilt Kefalonia with all its friendly locals. No faults only positives. Book it Now!
