About this villa rental

The villa sleeps 10 but has the flexibility to accommodate 6-13 guests. The villa comprises 2 self contained living spaces. 5 bedrooms in total (3 downstairs & 2 upstairs). Both floors have ample living spaces (lounge area, dining table and kitchen) with Smart TV and DVD. The prices listed are for rental of the full villa but we are happy to take bookings outside of peak season for the ground floor only (3 bedrooms) at a reduced price - please contact owners for details). The first floor apartment will only be available to those renting the rest of the house, giving the opportunity to have a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom house for larger families, multiple families or friendship groups. Additionally, we can accommodate 3 additional guests with extra beds in the upstairs living room and charge only a small additional fee.

This villa is well equipped: it is a family home as well as a holiday rental and 'comfort' is the 'watch word'. Free WiFi, two well-equipped kitchens, good quality bed linen and towels, comfortable beds and sofas: we want our guests to feel as comfortable in our home as they do in theirs. Hot water is supplied by solar power with a supplementary immersion electric heater. There are wood burners on both floors.

The Walnut Tree has a 10m x 5m swimming pool, table tennis and a boule court. The villa is surrounded by landscaped grounds of around an acre with lawns and terraces, a barbecue area with a fire pit and a productive olive grove. From the first floor there are glimpses of the sea and the island of Ithaca in the distance.

The joy of The Walnut Tree villa is the 360 degree view of the surrounding area - olive groves, farmland and hills as well as the far distant mountains of the Kefalonian National Park of Mount Aenos.

The town/port of Sami is a comfortable 4km from the villa with a good range of tavernas, restaurants and bars as well as supermarkets, butcher, bakeries, a greengrocer, paper shop, laundry/dry cleaner. There is a post office, banks and ATMs. The villa is near two villages, Karavomilos and Poulata both with wonderful tavernas and restaurants.

Walking in the area round the villa is a ‘must’ to soak up the atmosphere and traditions of the island.

Above all, the villa is near to many discrete little beaches all along the coast with the beautiful and famous Antisamos Beach about ten minutes away and the world famous Myrtos beach. At Antisamos you can enjoy water sports and beach bars and tavernas and of course, the crystal clear water. The swimming and snorkelling here is magical. Many of the beach bars provide free sun loungers and parasols for their guests.

There is a wonderful new museum in Sami - describing the locality’s ancient history. The beautiful Cave Lake of Melissani and Drogarati Caves are also nearby.

We had a wonderful holiday at The Walnut tree villa. The villa was perfect for our big family, all the children loved playing in the pool and exploring the grounds, not to mention table tennis tournaments too! The air conditioning was amazing as the heat was incredibly high in August. The villa was well equipped including a great little cupboard of toys and games etc. It is a perfect location too just down the road from lovely Sami. We would love to come back here one day, highly recommended,

Our stay at the Walnut Tree Villa was absolutely incredible! We had our Wedding in Sami and the house was perfect for us and our close friends. Everyone had perfect accommodations for sleeping and plenty of room to hang out in the living rooms together. We really enjoyed the use of the pool and laying out in the sun. It was fun to go out and pick fresh fruit to eat off of the trees. Adrian, from management was very helpful during our stay. We had the best time! Really recommend!

My family visited Kefalonia for a wedding nearby. The villa was perfect for all the family to spend time together from my father 80 years old to the grandchildren who are young adults. They had the upstairs apartment and the oldies had the downstairs and this worked brilliantly . The managing agents were very helpful and the villa and ground were very well kept.

A lovely place to stay with my family. Far enough from Sami for peace but close enough to enjoy all that is there.

We had a large group (11 people) stay - and were thrilled with everything from the location, to the view, to the overall accommodations. The property manager was friendly and responsive, and the host checked in with us often, and even assisted us with our Private Chef by meeting him ahead of our stay. We loved everything about this VRBO and would go back in a heartbeat.
