Ionian Sands Villa, a picturesque retreat, is perched elegantly on a hillside, enveloped by the lush embrace of towering trees. This enchanting villa commands an uninterrupted vista of Lourdas beach, mere moments away from the shoreline.
Lourdas has ascended to prominence as one of Kefalonia's premier beach resorts along the southern coast, thanks to its strategic location on the slopes of Mount Aenos. This protective mountain forms a natural barrier against inclement weather while offering a panoramic vantage point for breathtaking sea views. Gazing eastward reveals the Ionian Sea stretching endlessly, with the Greek island of Zante gracing the distant horizon. To the west, the rugged silhouette of the Liakas peninsula marks the bay's conclusion.
The vicinity boasts several exceptional beaches, often accompanied by waterfront tavernas and bars. From Lourdas Beach to neighboring Kanali and Trepazaki, the options are abundant. Now, the opportunity arises to experience the charm of nearly identical, high-quality three-bedroom villas, each featuring a private infinity swimming pool and secluded garden, nestled among the verdant foliage overlooking Lourdas beach.
Access to Ionian Sands Villa is granted via a private driveway, leading to a short flight of steps culminating at the front door. Here, you have the choice to enter the house or follow the paved walkway, which meanders to a sun-drenched terrace and a shaded veranda overlooking a captivating free-form, infinity-edged swimming pool that seemingly melds into the pine-covered landscape, descending towards the sea below. With mature gardens and lush vegetation enveloping the villa, Ionian Sands exudes an air of seclusion and privacy, ensuring an oasis-like tranquillity.
Upon entering the cool interior, the lounge, dining, and kitchen area beckon with a welcoming aura, adorned with quality fittings and furnishings. Thoughtful details and meticulous attention to design guarantee an immediate sense of relaxation. The lounge and dining area extend seamlessly to a shaded veranda, ideal for "al fresco" dining, affording not only poolside views but also mesmerizing vistas of the sea. The well-equipped kitchen stands ready to facilitate gourmet culinary endeavours, and a strategically placed window offers scenic views to reinvigorate even the dishwashing chore.
Adjacent to the lounge and dining area lies a bright and cosy en-suite twin bedroom, featuring doors leading to the shaded veranda and pool. Ascending the stairs reveals two charming en-suite bedrooms, each with private balconies offering sweeping sea views. The double bedroom deserves special mention, boasting the unique feature of a corner bath, complete with a window that invites you to shower while savouring superb sea views.
Ionian Sands Villa, in conjunction with its neighbouring property, Ionian Beach, presents an excellent choice for groups of friends or families seeking proximity while retaining a degree of independence. When the need arises, an intimate wooded pathway connects the gardens of both villas. In sum, Ionian Sands is the quintessential choice for a tranquil and rejuvenating vacation on Kefalonia, close to the beach and resort amenities.
