Aloni REMOVED BY VT

Area: Southern Kefalonia, Skala   Bedrooms: 2   Sleeps: 4

Attractive Stone Villa, A/C, Private Pool, Panoramic Countryside & Sea Views - 5mins to Skala Beach!

Approaching Aloni for the first time, it seems hidden away above the traditional stone walls that enclose the pretty surrounding garden. A splendid semi-circular pool reflects the history of the original site as a thresher’s circle (as does the Greek name) and the wonderful sweeping views vie with the intimate traditional interior to create a lasting first impression. Comfortable outdoor furniture ensures that many hours can be spent admiring the views towards Skala, the surrounding countryside and vivid blue Ionian Sea. A shaded terrace and barbecue to one side makes a charming spot for relaxed evenings spent listening to the gentle chirp of the cicadas and distant tinkle of goat bells floating across the hillside.

Thoughtful, contemporary décor combined with the laid-back, natural setting creates a very welcoming ambience, the property's various windows framing lovely panoramas stretching out over the private, infinity-edged pool to the shimmering horizon.

Built on two levels, the bedrooms are on the upper floor; a pretty double bedroom with an adjacent vine-covered patio and a twin bedroom enjoying equally attractive patio/sea views. The open plan living/dining area and kitchen on the ground floor are thoughtfully decorated, sturdy wooden beams and warming tones of the exposed stone walls establishing a relaxing atmosphere.

From here doors open directly onto the terrace where sun loungers invite indolence and umbrellas provide shade in the heat of the day (a direct view of the swimming pool from the living area meaning that aquatic activity can even be monitored from the comfort of the sofa!).

Ideally located with a choice of beaches close to the bottom of the hillside, this quiet, rural spot is just 2km from Skala Beach and village where there is a good choice of tavernas and shops for everyday essentials. Only slightly further on, you’ll find the long, unspoilt beach of Mounda Bay with the smaller village of Katelios (7km) offering several beachside tavernas, specialising in fresh seafood.

Oenologists also have much to enjoy on Kefalonia with the celebrated Melissionos winery at Mavrata (12km) and the local cooperatives of Gentilini and Robola also well worth a visit for the quality (and attractive prices) of their popular local wines.
