Overview
Above Nissaki on the northeast coast of Corfu, there are some quite delightful conversions of old stone houses, set amidst olive groves, overlooking wonderful views, and apparently quite off the beaten track. Yet the beaches and pleasant, friendly village of Nissaki are just 1 km away- barely a few minutes by car. Villa Kefalaki is one such villa. Quiet and totally private, its spacious outside terraces afford ample space for outdoor meals in sun or shade. The views really are spectacular. Tavernas and a supermarket/bakery are nearby.

Interior
Entry to the villa is via the main terrace, reached by a few steps up from the parking area. Once inside, all rooms are on one level with no steps throughout making Villa Kefalaki suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The house has been most sympathetically restored, allowing the old stone walls to speak for themselves. These same stone walls do, of course, help to keep the house cool in summer, but for extra comfort, the whole property is air conditioned.

Kitchen
The galley style kitchen is well equipped with large fridge freezer and dishwasher. (A washing machine is located in the master bathroom.) A convenient window, opening from the kitchen on to the covered terrace, doubles as a serving hatch at meal times, not to mention framing an idyllic view!

Lounge
The traditional lounge, with comfortable seating, features exposed stone walls, contrasting with the rich tones of the wooden ceiling, and an open fireplace. The dining area is close to the kitchen, although with the shaded outside terrace and its magical views being so convenient for the kitchen too, it is unlikely to get much use! It is interesting to note the very traditional window-shaped niche, glass-fronted, home to crockery in the old days, but a useful drinks 'cabinet' today.

Bedrooms
Each bedroom has 'French Doors' offering easy access to the main patio and pool - essential for that early morning swim. The master bedroom, with a double bed, has an en suite bathroom. French windows open to a private southfacing terrace with views over the pool and direct access. The three bedrooms are air conditioned. Attractively furnished with a modern version of the traditional iron bed. The second bedroom is a twin and has French doors opening on to the main patio. Bathrooms There is a bathroom with full bath and shower fitment en suite to the Master bedroom, and a shower room shared by the other two bedrooms.

Pool
A totaly private pool(5m x 8m), on the same level as the house and main terrace, so there are no steps from the property to the pool. Around the pool is a large terrace for sunbeds and shade. There is also a pool side shower.
