“Sensational sea views and green lawns make a winning combination for this relaxing family Villa.” This lovely sea view Villa occupies its own little piece of the Liakis Peninsular surrounded by its pretty garden, edged with palms and mediterranean shrubs offering the luxury of uninterrupted privacy. Green lawns roll down to a well placed pagoda with sublime sea and mountain views and it really is worth getting out of bed early, at least once, to enjoy the sunrise from here. Villa Hephaestus, Spartia, Kefalonia Mostly it’s all about totally easy holiday living at Villa Hephaestus with all accommodation at ground floor level and the comfortable living room, three airy bedrooms and well organised kitchen no more than a few steps from the pool, its terraces and the garden. Location, Spartia One of an exclusive group of Villas, each set privately in its own gardens, occupying the Liakias peninsular. Just a couple of kilometers from tiny Spartia village. A short walk down the hill takes you to an interesting rock formation "platform" lapped by the sea, with sunbeds, parasols and a ladder entry to the sea - unbeatable for snorkelling.
