About the home
Korianna House is the dream property of a well-travelled company director who fell in love with Kefalonia many years ago and spent 10 years seeking the perfect location to build. After staying in some of the world's finest hotels she was able to translate her vision of a modern, stylish escape into one of Kefalonia's most beautiful villas.
The property enjoys the benefits of both a tranquil, rural location with spectacular unspoiled views with local amenities within walking distance. The sunsets it enjoys are simply amazing.
The property has been furnished with no expense spared, with furnishings from Feather & Black, Indian Ocean, The White Company and John Lewis among others. A unique feature wall with spotlights adds a special romantic touch, as do the many candles at the villa. The kitchen is well-equipped with incredible attention to details, including a black granite worktop and top-of-the-range Neff appliances.
For those who do not wish to cook however a personal chef can be arranged and there are also several charming local tavernas within walking distance, as well as a pool bar less than a one minute walk away.
There is an extremely private pool, plenty of outdoor relaxation areas including a hammock and a private lower garden featuring lemon trees which guests are welcome to help themselves to.
There are several beaches within a 10 minute drive or a 20-minute walk (down a very steep hill!).
The villa would be a perfect romantic retreat for a honeymoon but also is well suited to families and friends.

Famous as the location of Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Kefalonia is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled of all of the Greek islands. It is the largest of the Ionian islands and therefore offers plenty of things to do and see while still offering quiet, unspoiled locations for those who want to get away from it all.
The Kefalonia / Spartia area
Korianna is a tiny unspoiled hamlet close to the popular village of Spartia. There are several tavernas and mini markets within walking distance as well as a pool bar in the village of Korianna itself. There are various Greek dancing festivals throughout the summer in local villages that visitors are welcome to visit.
Nearby are the beaches of Spartia and Avithos.

An outstanding property immaculately and stylishly furnished throughout.The owner clearly cares deeply for her villa and wants her guests to respect and enjoy her beautiful property. We loved the light airy cool and comfortable living / dining / kitchen space. Outside, the pool and terrace area has comfortable seats plus sun-loungers and a barbecue......and the view is magnificent over the sea and coast. Only 15 mins from the airport, the location is superb...peaceful and quiet. Excellent tavernas and a local village shop are within easy walking distance. Comprehensive information pack provided by owner. Korianna House is "top drawer". There cannot be a more delightful place to spend a holiday. |

What a lovely villa Margot has created at Korianna House! The overall design of the house makes a wonderful holiday home and Margot has furnished it in great style with incredible attention to detail. On top of this the views of the coastline and evening sunsets are just fantastic. Combined with good beaches and excellent restaurants (particularly the local taverna) this made the perfect holiday. We have already booked our next visit!

Having been to Kefalonia a couple of times before, we knew what the island had to offer but Korianna House made it even more special. The views are amazing and the villa itself has everything you need (and more) for a luxurious and relaxing stay. Great location as a hub for exploring the island in your hire car and Margot provides you with all the info you need to make sure you don't miss out on anything. I would highly recommend having Viva, the private chef cook for you at the villa and Spaggia restaurant is definitely worth the trip. We'll definitely be back!

We would strongly recommend Korianna house to anyone planning a trip to Kefalonia - it was the perfect place for us in every way, great location - just 15 mins from the airport and in easy reach of lots of lovely beaches, shops, and Argostoli - and the house itself is beautifully done, making our stay incredibly relaxed and enjoyable. We had our toddler with us and it was great for him too. The outside area is fantastic, loads of seating and the pool is wonderful. The villa itself is incredibly well equipped, every last attention to detail has been thought of.
There's plenty to do in the surrounding areas, although we chose to take it pretty easy most of the time. Avithos beach is lovely with a great little taverna right by the beach, and we also enjoyed Lassi which is very touristy but was ideal for us with our little one in tow, as it's very sandy with lots of beach bars and restaurants.
We can't wait to go back!

Truly Beautiful
Review Submitted: January 7, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2010
Korianna House is beautiful - the setting is lovely and the house is perfect. It has been furnished to an extremely high standard and is very well equipped - very comfy beds, plenty of wardrobe space and a kitchen with everything you could possibly need.
Kefalonia is a lovely island, hire a car and explore - take the ferry from Argostoli across to Lixouri and drive up through wonderful scenery to Fiscardo, we sat on the quay watching the boats and had the most marvellous icecream. Visit Myrtos Beach, which is very beautiful, although the pebbles (round like marbles) are difficult to walk on.
There is a very good taverna within walking distance of Korianna House which is well worth a visit. Have lunch up at the Castle on the flower-bedecked terrace of a charming restaurant. The nearby beaches are good, there are excellent supermarkets a short drive
away. The Museum in Argostoli is a little gem, also the market with fresh fish, fruit and vegetables. I could go on and on.
What could be better than sitting on the terrace, by the pool, barbecuing your supper and watching the sun set into the sea.
Kefalonia is a truly beautiful island and Korianna House is a truly beautiful place from which to explore it.
5 star luxury

I had an absolutely excellent stay at Korianna House. The villa is pristine and every detail has been thought about from the comfy beds, wall prints, sun loungers and the massive hammock (always a fight to get the hamock!) with stunning views down to the sea. This isn't far off 5 star luxury. It was also really handy for beaches, quick walk to local restaurants and the airport (10 mins drive). Can't wait to go back.

Idyllic Greek Island gem

Review Submitted: December 1, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
All we could say when we arrived was ‘Wow’ – and there were so many reasons to use this simple exclamation.
The spectacular location and wonderful vista, the lovely house and beautiful décor, the pool, the planting, the personal touches to make guests feel at home, all have the wow factor. Congratulations Margot, you have created a dream house with soul, and we look forward to booking with you in the future.

Korianna House, last 2 weeks of September
Peter & Hazel South Coast, England
Review Submitted: November 29, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
This beautiful villa, situated on a hillside with stunning views, has been built and equipped with such loving care, taste and practicality and provides a superb centre for exploring this most beautiful of islands.If exploration is not your thing, Korianna House provides every facility one could hope for. The lovely pool has shady areas and the air-conditioned rooms provide relief from the sometimes intense Greek sunshine. Sky TV and every piece of equipment that might be required provide home comforts. Nothing has been overlooked. It is a 10 minute walk to the local pretty village of Spartia which has two small general shops and an excellent taverna/restaurant. The capital of the island is only a 20 minute drive away and this interesting town has all the conveniences one would expect, including seeing the giant turtles in the fishermen's part of the harbour.For lunch, we can recommend the restaurant at the castle, family owned, and which is a 10 minute drive away.

Perfect villa for chilling out in Kefalonia . . .

I have returned from a wonderful break at Korianna House - a beautifully decorated villa with everything you could possibly need for a luxurious break. Breathtaking views combined with all mod cons made me feel at home from the minute I arrived. We have experienced a lot of holiday homes in Greece and this was by far the best accommodation we have ever stayed in.

Review Submitted: August 13, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2009
A truly beautiful House. Every thought has been given to create a beatiful peaceful familiy home. Set in a beautiful location wiuth breath taking views. The pool is area is safe , clean, lovely, and brings a welcome breeze when needed! The BQQ and stores provides anything you can ever need on a holiday. All the rooms tastefully and well furnished. The patio area is exteremly well furnished, and we spent every evening in total luxury, enjoying the ambience of the surrounding candles/outside lights and pleasantly surprised that there were no unfriendly bugs during the whole of the evening.! You will struggle to find a nicer holiday home of this size anywhere. The design and decor of this home is a real credit to the owner - total luxury!! We could have stayed forever!! Car hire is recommended, however the village of spartia with nice restaurants is in very easy walking distance. Equally with car hire you can get to a wide variety of beautiful villages with many nice restauranunts.

A Little Piece of Heaven in Korianna Village
Louise Wilsden, West Yorkshire
Review Submitted: July 28, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Just returned from 1 week in Korianna House and the only thing we could have wished for is that we had booked 2 weeks instead!
If you want a true Greek Village experience, churches, tiny greek houses, the locals sat around talking and watching life go by, then Korianna Village is perfect. We have stayed in lots of villas but this is by far, the best. Margot has gone to so much trouble to make the villa homely and with everything you need. The pictures and description in the advert were 100% accurate. The welcome pack was very thoughtful too with everything you could possibly need for your first night, without having to run to find the nearest shop/supermarket.
Great local beaches and tavernas.
Argostoli is only 20 minutes by car for the true Greek Island Capital experience!
Kefalonia is a beautiful island, it is worth hiring a car and making the trips to Fiskardo, Lixouri, Assos and Argostoli.
We hired a small motor boat for the day and found many beautiful beaches.
Margot provided excellent customer service, replying very promptly to all e-mails. We made the payment and she immediately sent an e-receipt together with the directions to the villa etc which were extremely good.
One thing we would recommend would be to take your sat nav (if you have european mapping) - we did and it came in very useful!
We have no hesitation in recommending Korianna House and Margot.
Hoping to return next year and the year after too!
THANK YOU MARGOT.

Fantastic Boutique Style Villa

Review Submitted: June 18, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
Everything you have always wanted in other villas you have stayed in is here....in bucket loads!! So much detail has gone into the design and set up, it is fantastic. The furnishings are of superior quality. Every little thing has been thought of...even down to a garlic peeler!!! So stylish yet does not deflect from the beautiful surroundings. Easy to find from the airport and set in an elevated spot within a small village. The description does not actually do it enough justice. Immaculate and well maintained. A great welcome pack is provided to set you up for at least your first day/night and a house book to let you know about all the wonderful areas to visit as well as the amenities at the property. The restaurant in Spartia was very good and within walking distance (at night may be adviseable to take a torch.....supplied by house of course!!) The cafe and restaurant at the Castle which is just a short drive away are also equally very good (in the evening you may need to take a cardi as it can be a little cooler at the castle) St Thomas's beach is very pretty and again is a short trip in the car. Avithos beach and restaurants are also favourites. Gentilini Winery is worth a trip out to (not that far, on the way to Argostolli) and their wines are wonderful especially when you drink them watching the sun set at the villa!! After watching the sunset we had a lovely Barbeque using the built in BBQ at the house and sat admiring the stars. Once you have stayed at Korianna House all other villas will have to live up to this standard, which is going to be hard....but then you won't want to stay anywhere else. I am definitely booking up for next year!!!
