Large Private Villa with Pool, Stunning Sea Views

New for 2024: Outdoor Lounge, BBQ and Mega-Chess Set.

Only a 500m walk to the secluded, sandy beaches in Pessada, this large, magnificently appointed and luxurious villa is one of the largest on the island of Kefalonia. With an open floor plan, this 320 m² villa offers many places to gather or retreat. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 separate living rooms, it is large enough to accommodate two families very comfortably. There is air conditioning in every room of the villa. There are two large screen TVs with a library of over 100 movies, satellite TV programming and high-speed Starlink WiFi throughout.

On the outside, the covered veranda offers a dining area for 10 and a comfortable seating set for relaxing with a drink or playing cards. Just a few steps away is a 50m² pool with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Throughout the property are gardens of Lavender, Jasmine, Bougainvillaeas, Oleander and Rosemary. All this with incredible views of the sea and the occasionally anchored yacht enjoying the same peace and tranquility as you are. Views to the South include Spartia beach and the island of Zakynthos across the Ionian Sea. Looking to the north provides a full view of Mount Ainos, the tallest mountain on Kefalonia.

The villa is conveniently located to many island activities. You can take a peaceful walk along the rural roads and paths of this cliffside village. Within 10 minutes, you can walk to the secluded coves that make up the small beaches in Pessada. Nearby, you can walk to the port in Pessada where you can have a souvlaki and beer at the outdoor cantina.

Within a 10-minute drive, you can visit St. George's castle, built in the early 16th century. Within a 15-minute drive, you can visit the monastery of Saint Gerasimos for a glimpse of its ornate interior and the mummified body of the saint himself. Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, can also be reached with a 15-minute drive. You can visit Argostoli for the fruit markets, souvenirs, bakeries, cafes or many wonderful restaurants. Be sure to spend an evening in the square where you can have an ice cream, frappe, crepe or mixed drink while watching the town come alive and gather. Other notable drives include a visit to the underground Lake Mellisani and Dragorati Cave. It is a beautifully scenic drive to Myrtos Beach and the picturesque towns of Assos, Fiskardo and Sami.

We welcome you to enjoy our home as much as we do on the idyllic Greek island of Kefalonia.
During your stay at this villa, you're just a quick walk from Ionian Sea. The villa offers free WiFi and a private pool.
  • Air-conditioned villa with private pool, kitchen and washing machine
  • Free Wi-Fi (speed: 250+ Mbps (good for 3–5 people or up to 10 devices))

Fantastic week!
We were a party of 9 adults staying at this stunning villa for one week (4 - 11 June 2023). When going into the villa for the first time we were met with the most amazing views of the Ionian sea and across to Zakynthos. The photos really don't do it justice. The villa is perfect for a large group such as ourselves, a beautiful home from home, large air conditioned rooms, comfortable beds, kitchen equipped with everything you could possibly need, and of course the very welcoming pool. There were two supermarkets within 10 minutes of the villa and we ate at two great restaurants, both about 10 minutes away. Isaios was lovely but our favourite was Esperides where we were made so welcome, food was delicious and although seemingly in the middle of nowhere, was packed all evening which speaks for itself! For car hire, George recommended Koula Zampeli at Ainos Travel. Koula was so helpful, pick up and drop off was so easy, right across from the airport and all communication was carried out with Koula via email or Whatsapp, fantastic service and highly recommended. We visited Fiskardo and Assos but a must see is Argostoli for a mid morning stroll (10 - 11am) around the port. We must have seen 20 large turtles just swimming around right up to the walkway, amazing! George also recommended Queen Bee boat trips. As there were 9 of us we went on a private trip on Queen Bee 2. Queen Bee 1 was a larger boat and carried many more people. A fabulous week had by all...Thank you!

Our first time on the island of Kafelonia!!! The Villa Rebecca surpassed our expectations. We had our entire family of 12 on this vacation. The accommodations and setting could not be better. Wake up every morning to the most gorgeous view possible. Outstanding and deserves a 5 star rating!! The support staff, Daniel and Simon, could not be more helpful.

Beautiful setting
The house was lovely and spacious. We were 3 families and had more than enough space. The view from the house was amazing. The owner / house keeper was quick to respond to any queries. The only disappointment was that the bbq was broken so we couldn’t cook outside, but I believe they are planning on building a new outdoor coming area.

Stunning villa, stunning views
The villa is truly luxurious. So much space. Bedrooms are generous in size with masses of storage. There are private bathrooms for everyone, mostly en-suite. Excellent quality. The kitchen area is huge and open plan and equipped with everything you could possibly want. It was the outside that was where we lived!! The pool is a great size and children and adults spent masses of time in the water. Quality sun loungers and big umbrellas made sitting round the pool a really pleasant experience. The veranda was the full width of the villa with a large table at one end where we ate and comfortable seating at the other. The view is beautiful with boats in the bay. Supermarkets we used were Ta Spartia in Spartia village which is quite small but suprisingly well stocked and open to about 10pm every day of the week. Also a larger supermarket in Trapezaki and Lidl on the edge of Argostoli. Our children ranged from 3 to 8 so we didn't venture far as they wouldn't have wanted to spend hours in the car. Our favourite beaches for them were Spartia and Aghios Thomas. Both were near, sandy, shallow and also had a few rocks at the edge which were great for snorkelling. Both are small, especially Aghios Thomas. Both had tavernas so nice for lunch. Lourdas beach is bigger but pebbly and deeper so didn't suit us but has more if you have a different age group in your party. Avithos beach is also sandy but not easy for parking and busy. It has sunbeds and a taverna. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough. Perfect.

Great location 20 minutes from the airport with a great view looking toward Zakynthos. Plenty of tavernas within 15 minutes & a full service grocery store as well. From here you can reach all of the best touring locations (Myrtos, Assos, Fiskardo, Sami, Antisamos, Skala, etc.) within one hour. The villa itself is very well appointed and modern with more than enough space for 10 visitors.

Wonderful stay at Villa Anna Rebecca
Could not have asked for a more complete vacation home. Had everything we needed. Completely and totally clean. Location was perfect, Google maps lead us directly there and all over the Island by the way. Daniel met us on time and walked the entire party through the house. Very politely answered all our questions. The view from the rear kept us in a constant state of amazement. The pool is quite large and had plenty of room for our entire party of nine. We are already looking to book it again next year!

Great place to spend one week on Kefalonia island. Villa is as described, with a big garden and a beautiful view. Beach at 10 minutes walking, with clear water and fine sand. Within 10 minutes drive, beaches with tavernas and umbrellas. The only issue was one airco not working, and sleeping with windows open was noisy as the whole AC unit for the house was just in front of the window. Other than this, would clearly reccommend the place!

Lovely holiday in a beautiful property
We have just returned from a two week stay at Villa Anna Rebecca. The accommodation is first class: modern, clean, spacious, well-presented and amazing views towards Zakynthos. We were 4 adults and 4 children and the house was perfectly set up for us. The pool is a good size and was certainly used to cool off. The kitchen was well-equipped which was great as we BBQ'd quite a bit. The location is quiet so you will need a car to get around and to get supplies etc. Driving was easy and there are lots of nice beaches within easy driving distance. We visited most of the island but the local beaches that we visited included: Lourdas which is good for water-sports, Pesada which is below the villa (very picturesque and worth the effort to get there). Spartia which is great for jumping off the rocks. We found Karavados beach on the last day which is beautiful and has two cliff-top restaurants. We also took two boat trips which enabled us to see some beaches that we would not have seen otherwise. There are a couple of local bar/restaurants but unfortunately the service was not the friendliest (Waterways in particular was terrible despite the amazing location). We visited Argostoli on several occasions as it has nice shops, waterside restaurants and is only about a 15 minute drive. I could go on but overall we had a 5-star holiday so thank you to George, Dave and Wendy for hosting us and allowing us to stay at this lovely home.

Wonderful family sized villa
We rented the villa as part of my fathers 80th birthday celebrations, and with 8 of us staying in the property it was a fabulous experience. The villa is exactly as advertised, and so quiet and relaxing. Can’t praise the villa and it’s facilities enough, right down to George’s father dropping off enough fresh lemons one day for us to make 4.5 ltrs of lemonade, and Dave and Wendy’s tips for places to eat and visit. The view! WOW, and the peace and quiet at all times of day and night were magic. Thank you so much and look forward to returning as soon as we can. The villa had all the amenities, and equipment a large group could wish for. Great WI-FI and entertainment systems, can’t fault any of it.

An elegant, spacious, secluded getaway
Much has already been said about the space and elegance this property offers, but it's worth repeating. The villa is a high-spec, well maintained, very spacious property that suited our party (4 couples and 1 single) perfectly. The design of the house feels familiar for those used to American properties and it all works really well, from the large kitchen at the centre of the ground floor, to the large dining area and multiple lounges. But it is the exterior where the villa really comes into its own. It has a fantastic veranda/deck with seating for everyone to drink in the views and while the evenings away. It has a really good-sized, really well maintained pool for a Greek property and with its position overlooking the sea towards Zakynthos, there is very little one would want to change. The only thing we would suggest to improve the overall experience for guests, is to encourage other guests to make/leave suggestions of restaurants, beaches and sites within the locality. We used Trip Advisor to help us decide where to eat but would have welcomed recommendations from previous guests. All in all, a splendid villa in a beautiful location.

Perfect Pessada!
We spent a glorious fortnight at this lovely villa: six adults and four small and very lively children. It is a spacious, gracious house, very well-equipped, with a large and attractive garden and a pool which has a generous tiled surround; plenty of room for the young to play and swim to their hearts' content and for the grown-ups to lie and back and soak up the rays! Now for the outlook... Thanks to the villa's elevated setting, we were able to enjoy wonderful views along the south coast of Kefalonia, back to the mountains and across the water to Zakynthos. We were made very welcome by the English caretakers who met us at the airport, showed us the ropes when we reached the villa and continued to look after us at intervals during our stay. The Kefalonians whom we encountered were without exception, warmly welcoming and delightfully humorous. The villa is tucked away in peaceful seclusion. We soon found our bearings and were able to get out and about for shopping and sightseeing with little difficulty. One must always bear in mind the fact that Kefalonian roads rarely if ever follow the example of the crow! As this makes clear, a car is pretty well essential, not only for exploring but also for shopping and eating out. All in all, we couldn't have asked for better.

Beautiful villa with stunning views
This was our first time in Kefelonia. The island is beautiful with some truly incredible scenery. The roads are fantastic fun if you like driving - if you're a nervous driver you may find them slightly nerve wracking. From when we booked the villa we have been in contact with George who has been great at answering questions and helping with recommendations and information. As all the other reviews have said, we were collected from the airport, shown around the vila, and made aware of how to use the various appliances. This involved a bit of waiting around while hire cars were collected but this was not a problem. We booked this villa to accommodate 10 of us, 9 adults and a 1 year old. We were certainly not short of space! The villa is very spacious and provides enough room for big family meals, as well as for everyone to find some quite space when needed. The bedrooms are all a good size, with the 2 masters being huge! The beds were comfortable and the villa is quiet at night so a good nights sleep was had by all. On the days we stayed 'home' the pool area was a fantastic place to soak up the sun. It's now well fenced off, the gardens have grown in, and the view is stunning! The pool itself is a good size and has a good range of depth - over 2m at the deep end so plenty of room for jumping in. The steps gave my little girl plenty of confidence and by the end of the week she was happy to climb in to the pool and swim back to the step to get out. There are 2 huge TV's available, one with an Xbox and both have a selection of films. We didn't use any of this, but it was nice to know we had some entertainment should we have needed it. There is also a system to allow you to play music both in the house and out to the pool, however despite some quite detailed instructions, we could not make this work reliably. We didn't think this was a big enough issue to warrant contacting George. The kitchen is well equipped and was ample for preparing meals for everyone. The dining table on the terrace was a lovely place to enjoy a meal. There's a second dining table inside however we only used this for playing cards around one evening when the bugs were feeling particularly ferocious! Ultimately I've only knocked a star off due to being very picky. Some of the kitchen and bathroom bits weren't clean, and some of the mats (especially between the pool and house) were quite soiled. But overall the villa was lovely, inviting, and well maintained.
