This spacious, cool and airy house can accommodate 12 guests in a one group or can provide separate accommodation for two families wanting holidaying together. The Walnut Tree has its own pool (10m x 5m non-diving) and is set in landscaped grounds of over an acre. The accommodation is arranged on two floors with three bedrooms (one with balcony), a bathroom, a shower room, a cloakroom, living space with large kitchen area and a utility room on the ground floor and two bedrooms (both with balconies), one bathroom with living space and kitchen area on the second floor. This enables the villa to be used by a group of twelve guests or by two families wishing to holiday together. All bedrooms have remote control air conditioning. There is full central heating and wood burners on each floor. The villa has twice weekly maid service and the pool and garden are fully maintained. Outside there is plenty of garden and pool furniture. Our guests are welcomed by our agent, Spyros Dorizas.

The Walnut Tree's central position on the island ensures easy access to Kefalonia's airport, the capital of Argostoli and other major attractions which include the cave/lake of Melissani, famous Myrtos Beach and the beautiful little port of Fiskardo. Activities available locally are sailing, diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, cycling, walking and a good deal of lazing about around the pool drinking in the beautiful views! There are plenty of delightful restaurants, bars and cafes within a short drive in Karavomilos, Agia Efimia and Poulata. Three kilometers away, the bustling port of Sami has banks, post office, medical centre, tourist office, supermarkets and shops. However, the charm of The Walnut Tree is its wonderful views of surrounding green countryside, the mountains and the sea.

Further details indoors:
The villa was built in 2004/2005 with the pool being finished in August 2005 - all to a very high standard. Our agent Spyros was our site manager and we are all very delighted with the result.

Further details outdoors:
The garden was landscaped in the autumn of 2005. A small vineyard of 75 vines, an area of fruit trees, another of ornamental trees, over thirty olive trees, a wild area and the grassed area around the pool terrace are all maturing nicely. Next year we will be planting climbers all round the perimeter fence.
