About this property
2 Bedroom Villa, Private Pool Stunning Castle/Mountain Views, Close to Sea, WiFi
Villa Sorfini is set in a stunning location below the historic Castle of St George. Situated in the valley of St Andreas, close to the ancient monastery in a scenic rural and peaceful location.
Perfectly located within a short drive of the Airport and capital of Argostoli this villa is secluded but not isolated.
Suitable for couples and groups of friends and families of up to 4 people.
The villa commands majestic views of the castle and the highest mountain range in the Ionian, Mount Aenos. The village of Peratata, a fifteen/twenty minute walk or few minutes drive from Villa Sorfini, has facilities including a mini market, pharmacy, internet cafe/bar, traditional souvlaki taverna, bakery and cake shop. There are many others facilities within a short drive, details can be found in the Villa.
The central location of Villa Sorfini and Peratata gives easy access to all the spectacular beaches, restaurants and many places of interest on the island. The capital Argostoli with its harbour, shops, pavement cafes and restaurants is within a fifteen minute drive.
There are numerous beaches (including Lassi which is a popular beach resort), St Thomas, Trapezaki, Lourdas, Avithos also within a ten to fifteen minute drive.
There are two restaurant/bars at the Castle which is a 5 minute drive away. Il Borgo and the The Olive Lounge (formerly in Lourdas) which overlooks the St Andreas Valley out to the sea and mountain, perfect for evening meals. There is also the quaint floral Kastro Cafe for breakfast/brunch/lunch/cake and coffee or early evening meal with the same spectacular views. It’s a great place to stop for refreshments after a walk around the castle. The cafe closes 5-6pm. There are many more restaurants within a short drive. Argostoli is a short drive with numerous shops, restaurants, cafe bars and desert and ice cream parlours located from the main square and along the Lithostroto which is the main shopping street. The harbour front is also lined with eateries and cafe bars.
Kefalonia is a beautiful island and there is something for everyone. Villa Sorfini provides a perfect base from which you can easily explore or simply rest, unwind and relax in beautiful surroundings. The choice is yours!
