Property info

Situated in the picturesque countryside of Sami, Kefalonia, Penelope Villas promise to offer unique moments of wellness and privacy to those seeking to get in touch with nature while relaxing nearby the sea. The three charming, entirely separate villas, Ariti, Calypso and Nafsika, set among spacious grounds of 2 acres and surrounded by attractive landscaped gardens, are located in a quiet and serene setting, yet close to the center of Sami. All villas come with private swimming pools, along with sun loungers, patio furniture and built in barbecue. Here you are in the valley where you can walk or cycle around the beautiful scenery, swim to the nearest beach of Sami and spend your evenings to the center of the fishing village, where lies a variety of restaurants and cafes. The secluded villas are completely separate, however, they would be ideal for two families or a large group of friends. Tastefully designed and furnished, Penelope Villas are fully air-conditioned or central heated throughout, with bedrooms that benefit en-suite bathrooms and balconies. The villas also provide bicycles free of charge (on request) to the guests who wish to explore the natural surroundings.
