Glyko Oneiro

Sleeps up to 6 / 8

There is more than a hint of Tuscany about this glorious villa with its spectacular garden setting with the views recalling the green hills, cypress trees and valleys of that privileged Italian province, though here the sea is part of the breathtaking view. Perhaps we should not be surprised - the Ionian islands spent so many centuries under Venetian rule and even today that influence is still visible. Glyko Oneiro, moreover is owned by a family who arrived in Kefalonia from Italy in the 15th century. The house has every appearance of being an established country manor house, but is in fact a sympathetic reconstruction of the original villa. Its décor reflects a certain rustic nobility, with some antique pieces but it is very much a holiday retreat that encourages informality and has an intimate atmosphere of its own. The lady cook prepares delicious meals and dining out of doors is a pure pleasure, on a shady stone terrace overlooking the pool and the garden. There is also a terrace with comfortable seating. The pool itself has roman steps flanked by stately urns and framed by beautifully-kept lawns. The surrounding estate offers perfect seclusion, with acres of olive groves and orchards and four of the island's best beaches nearby: the blue flagged beaches of Trapezaki, Kanali, Lithero and Lourdas. One of the most beautiful properties in our Kefalonia portfolio and with an excellent lady cook, most guests will find it hard to stray too far.

Guest Book

A few notes from the Visitors Book

"This is a lovely time of year to stay in such a beautiful location, not too hot and the sea still warm. It was a real pleasure to stay in a villa which was exactly as described and fittings were all of the highest standards and everything worked wonderfully... lots of hot water, fine linen and good cooking equipment, even sharp knives.. "

"...we've enjoyed the luxury but more so the very simple places you have the good taste to recommend."

"The essence of Cephalonia, we have learned so much about the island's history and olives."

"A wonderful short break in the sunshine - the cook was a joy to have around. All your efforts were much appreciated by us all."

Mousata Introduction

Mousata is one of a cluster of traditional villages situated in the Livathos district - nearby villages include Poriarata, Karouza and Karavados. This is a gently undulating area formed by the lower slopes of Mt Aenos and largely given over to agriculture, in the form of pasture, olive and almond groves and vineyards, from which Kefalonia’s famous ‘Robola’ wine is produced. It is a quiet and peaceful area, perfect for walking. Tavernas and bakeries, mini-markets and churches are a feature of most villages, and interesting sights include St George’s Castle and a number of monasteries which can be visited. The sandy beaches of this region are outstanding, many of them perfect for families with children, others ideal for surfers. These include Trapezaki Beach, Lourdas Beach and Agios Thomas.
