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 and bakery. There are many others facilities within a short drive, details can be found in the Villa.

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.

For the energetic you can walk up to the castle from the Villa and we would suggest early morning or evening when it has cooled down to do this. There are two routes or you can take or one circular route. Details can be provided upon request.

Amazing Villa in a superb location
We had a great 2 week stay here. The villa had amazing Mountain View’s and was in a great location to explore Kefalonia. The villa was like a home from home, super clean and provided us with all the amenities you’d need for a long stay. We arrived late in the evening and on arrival we were welcomed with tea, coffe, bread, croissants, milk and so much more, it was a great touch and much appreciated. The hosts provided so much information about the surrounding area from shopping, restaurants, beaches, local amenities etc their knowledge about the island was invaluable. Great hosts who responded with any enquiries straight away. I’d definitely recommend this villa to family and friends we loved the peaceful location.

Wonderful Family Holiday
Wow - what a lovely villa on a beautiful island. Clean, good location and a great pool to use should you want to stay at the villa. Car is a must if you want to venture away from the villa and visit all the beaches around the island as we did. The location was great, only 15 mins from airport and ideally located for numerous beaches and the capital, Argostoli. Jed, the owner was brilliant, sent me loads of ideas about what to do on the island, very responsive and genuinely nice bloke. Villa was cleaned 3 times, pool cleaned twice, everything was just easy and I recommend this villa.

Lovely relaxing holiday villa
As a family of four, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here in summer 2023. It was perfect for us, the location fairly secluded with open views to the mountains, sun all day long and the pool large and lovely to relax in.

A Lovely Villa
A really lovely villa in a great location (car essential as nothing is easily walkable, especially in the heat). Location feels slightly random when you first arrive, but is actually the perfect spot to reach everything on the island. The pool and gardens are beautiful with the best views ever. You’d never get tired of looking out over those mountains! The interior of the villa is all fine, bed is extremely comfortable and the air con is a Godsend! But we were a little disappointed on arriving late evening that absolutely nothing is there for you - no welcome pack or even a single bottle of drinking water. There are also a few basics missing - torches but no batteries, a notice about using Calgon in the washing machine but no tablets - which felt a little unwelcoming compared to previous rentals. The main shower room is tiny and plumbing def not luxurious (although blocked shower issues in first week were swiftly rectified by the delightful property manager, William, who was really great at communicating throughout). Sheet and towel change was super efficient and much appreciated. We were also unlucky to be plagued by wasps outside, think there must be a nest around the villa? Was a shame as couldn’t eat outside at all and using the BBQ was risky! But all that being said, it’s a wonderful base for a Kefalonian holiday - the island is as stunning as ever. Recommendations from Jed & Tracey were fab - thank you!
