THE VILLA
Olive Mill villa is a fabulously appointed, authentic, country house with gold – standard service to match, while the meals prepared by its in-house Chef is a gourmet’s delight. This has turned it into a culinary and wine destination, while as from 2022 it is also a yoga retreat, offering additionally in-house massage sessions.

Overall the villa strikes the perfect balance between traditional elegance and modern comfort, where its in-house staff are on hand to ensure guests have a most relaxing stay, free of any hassle !

FULLY CATERED with 4 or 5 (double & twin) bedrooms & en --suite bathrooms, this exceptional property enjoys a large, private, Tuscan style swimming pool, surrounded by a beautifully landscaped private garden adjacent to an ancestral, olive tree, estate dating back to the 16th c. and belonging since then to the same family. *

A superb skippered private motor–boat (for up to 10 passengers) is also at the disposal of guests (at an extra charge and requiring early booking, well prior to arrival).
Furthermore, at almost walking distance from the villa (or 2 minutes by car) lies the child-friendly sandy beach TRAPEZAKI with its sea front restaurant 'Denis'.

Recently built, the villa has sleek interiors and is stylishly decorated in soothing natural tones giving it a fresh summer look. The spacious terrace, where guests can enjoy al fresco drinks & dinners under the stars, offers panoramic views over undulating olive groves, all the way to the blue Ionian Sea.

Singled out by Conde Nast for its elegance and top notch service, the property totally charms guests of all ages. The personnel are warm, particularly discrete and attentive, providing friendly, unobtrusive service, while sparing no effort to make the stay of guests a carefree delight. The experience with this villa is more like staying at a boutique hotel, but just with the people one has chosen to be surrounded by.

Upon arrival, guests are given an extensive list of dishes (including suggestions for kids) to choose their meals from. The Chef takes care of the shopping, cooking and kitchen cleaning with the help of her assistant, so all guests have to do is decide what they want to eat and then kick back and relax !

Additionally, Yolanda, the Chef and house manager, can arrange a number of activities, from skippered motor-boat daily trips, kayaking, snorkelling and jet skiing to in-house massage. Yoga classes can also be arranged.

In conclusion, the place is an irresistible combination of nature, heritage and refinement as well as the absolute destination for families, couples, groups of friends, longing to experience Greek island life at its best, in privacy and style !

* Within the estate, but on a separate plot of land, stands an impressively restored historic Olive Mill, now an olive museum. Guests may have the opportunity to visit and dine there, which some have described it as "a memorable evening and the absolute highlight" of their holiday!

- Rates include all taxes,

About the host

Hosted by Lysander

Host profile image
The sea view Estate located near the historic St. George Castle (the old Venetian capital of the island) - has been in our family since 1604 and has been passed down through the generations. We began restoring the Estate and the old Olive Mill in 2004 as a hobby, whilst Lysander was serving as a Greek diplomat in Vienna.

The vision was to turn the wider property into an exclusive summer retreat, showcasing life at the Estate through the centuries. The project was completed in 2009/10, with a refined holiday villa for discerning travelers that reflects our shared passion of interior design.

BEYOND CEPHALONIA
Beside offering high-end villa accommodation and bespoke concierge services in Cephalonia and other Greek islands, our company, FILALEXIA S.A., also provides yacht chartering to any destination within Greece. Quite a few guests have become repeater clients.

Why they chose this property

- This charming villa lies within a wider ancestral olive tree Estate with a restored 18c. Olive Mill. A place with heritage, and an authentic flavour of Cephalonia's past
- It includes an amazing Chef, thus a culinary and wine destination
- It can offer memorable day trips with a sleek motor-boat giving guests the opportunity to be in secluded bays and swim/ snorkel in crystal clear waters.

We love the place linked to our family for generations because it exudes grandeur, but also for its beauty, tranquility and un-spoilt countryside

What makes this property unique

The Millstone Villa, with its inviting pool, luscious garden and gourmet cuisine, is the perfect place for all those looking to de-stress!

Yolanda, your private Chef, has an extensive repertoire and is instantly adored by everyone who stays at the villa. Once you choose what you want to eat from the wide-ranging menu, she prepares your meals using the freshest local produce and top-quality ingredients. Having a private chef means guests do not have to worry about the shopping, cooking or kitchen clearing up.

We attach great importance to the top notch service provided by our staff. Upon arrival at the villa, guests will be offered a complimentary welcome hamper containing wine and local products as well as a folder with invaluable tips on excursions, must-see sights and top restaurants.
A wide range of activities and concierge services are offered to guests such as: day boat trips with the private motor boat, water skiing, kayaking, snorkeling, and massage at home.

19th c. OLIVE MILL and threshing floor : Besides having full access to the villa, its private garden and pool, guests may also visit and dine at the magnificently restored olive mill located within the wider estate. For many, this is a memorable and once in a lifetime experience.

WINE TASTING
With 3.500 years long history of cultivating grapes, Cephalonia (Kefalonia), is an ideal destination for wine connoisseurs. Most of the island’s wines are made predominantly from indigenous grape varieties, the most well-known being Robola, a lime-scented wine grape of Cephalonia to be sipped, as pointed out by Janis Robinson of the Financial Times, ‘ with memories of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin ’.
Another particularly interesting wine is that which grows from the rare red Mavrodaphne grape in the Lixouri area. Make sure to sample this dry, red wine which has a hint of cherry and wild berry flavour.
A visit to a Cephalonian winery, such as the traditional Haritatos vineyard is certainly a must!
