About the home

Villa Yiannis was built in 2001 and is a 2 storey family villa offering a high standard of accommodation in a peaceful setting on the outskirts of the village of Sarlata. The villa stands in its own grounds with an attractive well maintained garden, private swimming pool & BBQ area. Car Hire is included in your holiday rental cost.

Within the villa are 3 double bedrooms all en-suite, 1 bedroom is situated on the ground floor, all bedrooms have stunning sea views. The villa is fully air-conditioned. The ground floor is spacious and open plan in design; the living area has TV, DVD player and feature fireplace & comfortable seating. The fully fitted kitchen has 4 ring hob, oven, fridge-freezer, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, kettle & toaster. The dining area has a table & chairs to comfortably seat 6 adults. Externally the pool area has attractive gardens with sun-beds & parasols, a pergola surrounds the front of the villa. Yiannis personally meets our guests at the airport on arrival.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and we have a guest cloakroom on the ground floor. All bedrooms have a sea view and balcony on the upper floor. We provide a roll-away bed for a small child (7th person) Cot with linen and high chair provided.

Smoking is permitted only outside the villa, ashtrays provided.

Further details outdoors:
The villa has its own 50 sqm swimming pool with sunbeds and parasols. Surrounded by pretty landscaped gardens. The built in BBQ is on its own patio area outside the lounge.

Villa Yiannis is located on the outskirts of the sleepy village of Sarlata but within walking distance of 2 mini-markets and tavernas. This is called the Livathos region of the island and is only a five minute drive to reach the resort of Lassi with its many tavernas and several bars for those guests wanting a more active 'nightlife' Argostoli the capital town only a ten minute drive from the villas, again a cosmopolitan town, not wholely given over to tourism. The villa is ideally situated to explore the whole island, and car hire is recommended to do this, although not essential if you just want a 'chill out' break away from it all, you can easlly call a local taxi. However in the long run this is probably more expensive,so we would definitely recommend car hire.
We have several sandy beaches within a short drive of the villa, Avithos has the prestigous blue flag award and less crowded than the beaches at Lassi. We supply an information pack for each family so you can decide where you would like to visit on your 'days out and about'

Further details

Yiannis is resident on the island for the holiday season and greets all our guests personally at the airport on arrival.

Our guests have been very appreciative to have a host that is fluent in both Greek and English to be on hand during their stay.

The villas are cleaned regularly and bed linen changed weekly.
Enough towels are provided for a clean one each day. You will be given Yiannis’s contact phone number
with any queries. Any age of guest up to a maximum of six adults and 1 child are welcome. Air conditioning is included.

Conditions

Should you wish to book a villa holiday we ask for a £200 non refundable deposit on booking and the balance 8 weeks before departure from the UK.

The Ionian Islands region

Villa Yiannis is situated on the south west coast of the island called Livathos.The island has had a very turbulent history with many nationalities occupying including the British for many years. When you travel into the capital town you can see evidence of this with the bridge across the lagoon and and gardens. There is even a British cemetery that can be visited.

The island itself suffered a terrible earthquake in 1953 so much of the architecture you see is post this time. Our villa is situated in an ideal position ti travel around the island to see its many sights. The climate is of course Mediterranean and we often have the benefit of a breeze that is very welcome during the hot summer months. As Kefalonia has quite a high rainfall in the winter months the island stays 'green' for the best part of the year and we do not have water shortages that some other islands suffer from

The Kefalonia / Sarlata area

We have several local places to visit, these are our favourites: The Omala valley and the wonderful church that is named after he islands patron saint Gerassimos. Conveniently near is the Robola winery, where you can taste and buy our famous Robola wine.

The Melisani lake and Drogorati caves with lunch at Sami and swim at Anti-Samos which is so picturesque. Sami was the town that was 'turned' into Argostoli during the making if the film Captain Corelli's Mandolin. After the initial rush of tourists Captain Corelli has not made much of an impact on the island.

Ficardo in the North of the island, the only village not destroyed by the 1953 earthquake. Very busy in July and August but a joy to visit out of these months.

Mytos beach if only for the photo opportunity.

This is only a taster of our lovely island, if you are lucky enough to be on holiday over the 15th 16th August the tourist season is at its peak with the festival to celebrate the patron saints 'day' - Agios Gerassimos

Guestbook for Villa Yiannis

'I would like to thank you on behalf of my husband and family for a lovely holiday, at a really lovely villa and on beautiful and quite unique island. Everything was all we wished it to be and more. The weather was superb and the Greek people quite charming. I have already recommended it to friends and work colleagues. Yiannis took us to see your luxurious new villa. We enjoyed the trip up into the hillsides and though many villages, most of them we would not have been able to see ordinarily. He was an excellent guide and nothing seemed too much trouble for him.'
Mrs Rosemary Tilley
