Villa Votsalo, Avithos, Kefalonia
Villa Summary
- Outdoor Private Pool
- Complimentary Pool Towels
- Sea View
Villa Votsalo Overview
This beautiful two-bedroom villa is set on a huge plot of land, with stunning views of Kefalonias' turquoise waters and emerald landscape. Not usually afforded to a two-bed property, Villa Votsalo has a large lap pool, manicured lawn and bordering crimson bushes. The view stretches as far as the eye can see across green pastures, with Kefalonia’s rugged hills serving as a backdrop. At night, the pool lights up a dramatic shade of turquoise.
A large shaded dining area and traditional Greek BBQ means that souvlakia by the pool are a must. When you’re not sunbathing on the stone deck, the inside of Villa Votsalo is a welcoming ‘home from home’. With nautical features, a blue and white striped sofa and a wooden beamed ceiling, the living room is reminiscent of the sea. Both the master bedroom and twin come with their own bathrooms and are tastefully decorated.
Set in the laid-back area of Avithos, Villa Votsalo is just a short distance away from the beach and local restaurants. Expect unspoilt natural shores and family run tavernas, where you’ll be met by a welcome smile.

Resort Description
Avithos is the ideal choice for your Greek Island holiday if you are looking for fabulous beaches, great tavernas, beautiful coastal and mountain scenery, easy walking on quiet country lanes but still just a short drive to the island's capital.
Situated on the southern coast of Kefalonia, just a few kilometres from the airport and Argostoli, Ai Avithos is located in the area known locally as Leivathos – made up of picturesque villages and some gorgeous sandy beaches. There are also a good few attractions in this area such as the Castle of St.George, atop its acropolis and offering superb views all over the area – well worth a visit as is the Monastery of St. Andreas.
Avithos beach is a long strip of sand, with some shingle or stones depending on the weather of the previous winter – looking out to the tiny islet of Zeus and backed by two excellent tavernas where locally delicacies and fresh fish can be enjoyed. The beach itself offers a super beach bar with snacks, cold drinks and coffees, and comfortable sunbeds are available to rent. The village of Svoronata – just a 15 minute walk from Avithos offers more restaurants, a couple of bars, a petrol station and the local minimarket so all necessities are close to hand. Even the local “drive in” in supermarkets are all within a short drive of this area, but once back at your villa all is peace and quiet whilst you just enjoy the wonderful views!

A wonderful and well-equipped holiday villa, overlooking the sea and in a quiet rural location only five minutes walk away from a splendid beach. We have stayed at Votsalo many times and hope to visit many times more, as it is our perfect holiday retreat.

A lovely villa in a great location. A good choice of restaurants within the local area and a superb beach on your doorstep. Plenty of supermarkets to choose from all within a 10 minute drive. Resort quiet but does have a lovely beach bar which had a great vibe day and night. Villa clean and well equipped with everything you would need. Pool amazingly warm too. We will definitely return.

Loved the location and the spacious plot. Even though you were fairly close to other villas you did feel completely isolated. Very peaceful.

Lovely villa, with a great pool and spacious gardens. Brilliant location - private, quiet, yet within a short walk of a lovely small beach with a fab beach bar and two very good tavernas. Not far to drive to other good beaches and supermarkets. We would go back

We have stayed in quite a few of your villa's in various places and they were all lovely but this one was by far this best. It was stunning from the gated entrance to the internal decorations. Everything supplied from the soaps to the kitchen appliances, television, wi-fi was excellent. The beds were very comfortable and the staff that came in to change towels, swimming pool duties and the gardeners were excellent. We cannot emphasise how much we enjoyed our holiday ? thank you very much

Has to be the best Villa in Avithos, spectacular sea and mountain views. Lemon and orange trees and rose bushes in abundance. Walking distance to a spectacular beach and excellent tavernas. The pool was beautifully clean, as was the house, would recommend this villa most highly and will return for sure.
