Hidden Gem Estate KEFALONIA, GREECE
Tucked away in the green hills of Spartia, Hidden Gem Estate is a luxurious private villa offering a secluded escape on the island of Kefalonia. Named after Kephalos, the island’s first king, Kefalonia is steeped in history, with evidence of settlement dating back to the Paleolithic era. Over the centuries, the island has been shaped by Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, French and British influences, all of which contribute to its rich cultural character. Hidden Gem Estate is set within five acres
of private grounds, including olive groves, a vineyard, mature trees and fruit orchards, creating a peaceful and private retreat. The villa itself blends traditional architecture with high-spec contemporary finishes, offering the perfect balance of character and comfort. At 5,650sq ft, the villa can accommodate up to 18 guests, making it ideal for large family holidays, reunions or groups of friends, although smaller groups are equally welcome. Exclusive use of the property is guaranteed, regardless of group size. For special occasions, such as weddings, the pool terrace can host up to 250 guests, with sweeping
panoramic views over Mount Ainos and the Ionian Sea providing a stunning backdrop. Beside the pool, an enclosed gazebo features a fully equipped kitchen and gas barbecue, perfect for leisurely lunches or sunset dinners. Guests can also choose to hire a private chef. The estate’s team can arrange boat tours and island excursions, ensuring a stay that’s both relaxing and immersive. Many of Kefalonia’s main attractions are within
easy reach of the villa. Highlights include Lake Melissani and Drogarati Cave, plus St Gerasimos Church and the local wine cooperative, where tastings introduce visitors to the island’s celebrated Robola wine. A scenic drive north heads past the famous Myrtos Beach and the hilltop village of Assos, before reaching the charming harbour town of Fiskardo. Returning via an alternative route allows for stops in Sami and Agia Efimia, showcasing the diversity of Kefalonia’s landscapes. The island’s capital, Argostoli, is just a 15-minute
drive away, while Spartia beach is less than a mile away. The village square — a short walk from the villa — is home to a taverna, cafe and grocery shop.
