Villa Penelope

Spartia - Villa

This lovely sea view Villa occupies its own little piece of the Liakis Peninsular surrounded by its pretty garden, edged with palms and Mediterranean shrubs offering the luxury of uninterrupted privacy. Green lawns roll down to a well placed pagoda with sublime sea and mountain views and it really is worth getting out of bed early, at least once, to enjoy the sunrise from here. Mostly it’s all about a totally easy holiday living at Villa Hephaestus with all accommodation at ground floor level and the comfortable living room, three airy bedrooms and well organised kitchen no more than a few steps from the pool, its terraces and the garden.

Location, Spartia
One of an exclusive group of Villas each set privately in its own gardens, occupying the Liakias peninsular and a few kilometers from tiny Spartia village. A short walk down the hill takes you to an interesting rock formation with a platform lapped by the sea, with sunbeds, parasols and a ladder entry to the sea - unbeatable for snorkeling. Spartia sandy beach is just a 5min drive away, above which The Waterways Taverna entices boat owners to tie up at the small jetty below.
Spartia's maze-like narrow roads all lead to the village centre, where there are two mini markets and a couple of tavernas. For more choice, the lovely town of Argostoli is just a 20min drive away.

The lovely Villa Emiliata with 3 bedrooms, sits on the Liakas peninsular high amongst its private garden and offers beautiful countryside & sea views.. The property is on two terraces whereby the villa is on the upper level above the pool area enabling the best views.

The large first floor balcony offers commanding views, and watching the sun rise or set, whilst relaxing in the comfy chairs with a pre-dinner drink, will become a 'not to be missed' daily ritual. Inside, the villa is laid out particularly well to accommodate a family. With three bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, plus a large balcony off the living/kitchen area that overlooks the pool and garden.

From the garden, a few steps down bring guests to the enormous stone-paved terrace encompassing the immaculate pool. This is surrounded by mature shrubs creating a completely private area. The only difficult choice of the day here is whether to laze in the hammock, relax in a deck chair or doze off on a cushioned sun-bed...

For youngsters there is a small selection of outdoor toys and a playhouse to keep them occupied, should they need to be out of the pool. Dining outdoors can be done either at the pool level next to the BBQ or in the garden under the plane tree where both have tables and chairs, thus making easy to dine and have a dip all day or night long.

Location-Spartia
Villa Emiliata is just 2kms outside of Spartia village, on the Liakas peninsular. Spartia's maze like narrow roads all lead to the village centre, where there are two mini markets, a coffee/cocktail shop and Cavo Liakas Taverna and a few more enroute to Argostoli, the capital, which is just a 20min drive away. The small sandy beach of Spartia is just under 2kms and here you can find The Waterways Taverna which sits above the beach with superb views. In the opposite direction from the villa and downhill (quite steep) leads to the tip of the Liakas peninsula where an interesting natural rock platform is located and the snorkelling is amazing, but there are a few sun loungers and umbrellas located here if you just want to relax with the sound of the waves lapping on the rock.
