Imagine
A sense of space throughout the villa and its grounds. Enjoy huge skies, mountain views, spectacular sunrises, and sunsets. Marvell as the light changes shade and throws shadows on the hills and mountains of Kefalonia, stretching away into the distance in every direction.
This family villa is very much a place to disconnect. All you can hear as you while away blissful hours under stunning skies are goat’s bells, farmers calling to their livestock and the sound of wild birds, the wind gently sighing in the pine trees and sometimes distant church bells.
Location
The Walnut Tree Villa is a short drive from the Airport (Anna Pollatou), the capital Argostoli and the ferry port/towns of Sami, Poros and Fiskardo. Nine kms north along the coast is the harbour town of Aghia Efimia popular with sailors and tourists. The mainland of Greece can be reached from both Sami and Poros. Trips to the island of Ithaca are very popular and a ferry service from Sami leaves several times a day, taking around 40 minutes.
Sami
Sami comes into its own during summer months, a popular tourist centre with restaurants, bars and shops. The nearby attractions of Sami Acropolis, Melassani Cave, the Dinosaur Park, Drogarati Cave and the beautiful beach of Antisamos are all within a 10-15 minute drive. There is a beautiful new Museum in Sami, displaying artifacts from both the local area and from Fiskardo. There is a fascinating Maritime Museum which opened a few years ago, with replicas of Greek shipping from ancient times.
Sami is the beating heart of the local area, where Kefalonian families meet, eat, drink and mingle. People are genuinely friendly and proud of their town, they will go out of their way to help tourists. There are well established mini-markets, green grocers, bars and tavernas in the town, some passed on from generation to generation or with multiple generations all working together.

Leave ReviewMulti-Generational family holiday - Amazing!
By Graham W on 31-Aug-2025Just returned from an amazing holiday in this spectacular and well equipped villa. We were a multi generational group of 10 and loved the space, the pool, the grounds and the great combination of rural tranquility with the convenience of a very short drive to Sami with all the facilities and services you need. Having stayed in many villas over the years this has to be the best equipped I have ever experienced. All you need is provided, from the big things such as a well equipped kitchen, large BBQ, lots of sunbeds, a top notch table tennis table, air conditioning etc... through to some lovely small touches such as UK adapter plugs and a cupboard full of games, pool toys, masks, snorkels and beach shoes! Pool/beach towels were also provided. Highly recommended for groups seeking a fun filled holiday...
An amazing Villa, perfect setting that provided all a large family could ask for
By Daniel C on 12-Sep-2025Everything from arrival to the service we received through the whole 10 day stay was first class. The arrival was made super easy with someone meeting us at the villa and showing us through the amenities and being super clear on all the details we needed to know. English speaking and super helpful. Also fully contactable via WhatsApp so another great benefit for reassurance.
Visiting our roots
By Janice L on 30-Jun-2025Great stay, very comfortable, well equipped. Older grandaughters enjoyed their own area upstairs.Pool and patio lovely! Enjoyed the goats, chickens and peacock sounds. Sami great place to stay as we explored the island. Visited my grandfathers village of Simitata.
Perfect Location
By Clare on 20-Jul-2025We had a wonderful stay in this large Villa which comfortably accommodated 9 of us. The Villa was like a home away from home with a fully equipped kitchen that had everything you could possibly need. Bed's were very comfortable too. The Villa is in the perfect location for exploring the island and Sami offers plenty of shops to get supplies. Both the owners and the manager were extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely book again if we return to Kefalonia.
Family wedding in Kefalonia
By Karen on 30-May-2024My family visited Kefalonia for a wedding nearby. The villa was perfect for all the family to spend time together from my father 80 years old to the grandchildren who are young adults. They had the upstairs apartment and the oldies had the downstairs and this worked brilliantly . The managing agents were very helpful and the villa and ground were very well kept.
