On the lower slopes of Mount Aenos with stunning views over the sparkling Ionian Sea as far as the lesser island of Zakynthos in the distance, Villa Marianna sits beside olive groves close to the outer limits of the village of Lourdata.
The delightful owner of Villa Marianna, Hariklia, may well pop in with a friendly smile and a cake during your stay as she is particularly keen to make guests feel immediately at home, a sentiment reflected in the decor of her lovely Villa.
Decorated in calming pastel shades this neat Villa is ideal for a couple or small family.

The Villa was everything we hoped
We have just returned from a wonderful 3 weeks in Kefalonia at the lovely Villa Marianna in Lourdas. The Villa was everything we hoped it would be and true to the pictures we had seen before booking. It had everything we could have needed for our stay and was immaculately clean and well maintained, with the gardens and pool being maintained regularly throughout our stay and the bathrooms, bedding and towels being cleaned every 3/4 days. Our host, Hariklia, was charming, helpful and in regular contact should we need her. We wanted for nothing and were treated like friends!
Our holiday was made all the more special by the personal attention of the owner and the extremely helpful communications and information from Freelance Villas prior to the holiday. Thank you to all!
Kindest Regards
