About this property

Stunning 3BR Oceanview Villa with spectacular views, large pool, near Katelios

Villa Valentina is set in its own grounds immediately looking out to sea and the Ionian. On an elevated position on the outskirts of the historical village of Ratzakli between the resorts of Katelios and Skala. Views from the balconies and terrace areas are breath-taking looking out to sea and the nearby island of Zakynthos surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea stretching across the horizon in front of you. To the rear there are olive groves and the mountains beyond with footpaths taking you to other outreaching villages.

Set in its own private and gated grounds, the closest neighbour being 200 metres away in the nearby village of Ratzakli, which also has its own café/restaurant, this is the perfect location for those wanting seclusion but still within a few minutes walk to Katelios and Ratzakli and a very short drive to Skala with its restaurants and shops.

The villa itself is built over three levels. The open plan split level living area has a fully fitted modern kitchen which is very well equipped with all the appliances and utensils you would need. There is also fine dining area with table and chairs. On this level is a very large luxury shower room and a large master bedroom with ample wardrobe space, dressing table, TV leading onto a large verrandah. A few steps (1.75 metres) from the dining area lead down to the lounge, which is on the lower level. This is comfortably furnished with large comfortable seatees and also has Satellite TV with most channels, full Wi-Fi, DVD player, games and books. This further leads onto a large covered patio with outside dining and large purpose built barbecue area.

Upstairs there are two further ensuite bedrooms with balcoines, (one large double and 2 single beds and the other room housing 2 single beds) one with en-suite shower room, the other with an en-suite bathroom with 3/4 bath and shower over. All of the bedrooms and the lounge areas have large patio doors leading onto either a terrace or balcony with table and chairs for you to relax and enjoy the views.

The landscaped gardens are mainly laid to lawn with plentiful flower beds containing a variety of shrubs and tropical plants and fruit trees (depending on the Season, we welcome guests to pick fruits and bananas). There is a separate garage in the grounds where you will find a washing machine, additional sink and beach umbrellas (buckets and spades for the children).

The large pool terrace with its private 11 x 5.5m pool and Roman steps is a great place to relax and unwind, with amazing views out to sea. There are plentiful loungers and tables, chairs and umbrellas here. The pool also has a hydrotherapy massage jet in the pool if you are not quite relaxed enough. There is a large covered terrace area poolside offering additional tables and chairs and steamers if you want to get some shade.

The villa is a family holiday home and therefore offers the guests more than what is found in a conventional holiday let.

Excellent Family Holiday
This was a great Villa with Plenty of space for all the family. The Pool and views from the pool terrace were better than we expected and great for sitting out late into the evening. A car is definitely needed especially if you have young children. This was probably one of the best villas we have stayed at for a family holiday.

A little bit of paradise
Thank you so much for the most wonderful two weeks’ stay at beautiful Villa Valentina. We couldn’t have asked for more: stunning views of the sea and mountains, comfortable large beds and incredible air-con units in all bedrooms, powerful showers, huge clean and inviting pool, very clean and tidy throughout the Villa, equipped for everything you need. We read through our books so enjoyed the library of books on offer there and played some of the board games on the shelf too! Kefalonia is stunning with such a lovely climate- hot, but with a wonderful breeze which rolls down off the mountains. The location of the Villa was great to visit popular resorts such as Skala and Katelios for snorkelling, water sports, boat trips and tavernas, but also only a short distance from pretty old villages for a slice of homemade apple pie. We found having a car for the duration meant we could explore and truly get a taste of the island. We loved visiting Argostoli to see the turtles swimming in the bay on our way home to the airport. A lovely end to one of our favourite ever holidays!

Beautiful villa with beautiful views
Villa Valentina is a gorgeous villa set high above the sea with wonderful views over to Zakynthos. The villa is very spacious, both inside and out, with a lovely garden full of flowers and a lovely pool. I went with my daughter and her family and the villa was great for us all. I particularly liked the master bedroom (which I bagged!) with its lovely veranda surrounded by jasmine flowers. The villa was very well equipped and we had everything we needed. The surrounding area is lovely, with nearby Katelios having a nice beach with lots of tavernas and a good shop. Our favourite beach was Kaminia which was a very short drive away and is a fantastic sandy beach with a great taverna behind. To make the holiday perfect it would have been nice to be able to walk to the beach but with 2 little ones, this was not possible. Sharon was very helpful and responsive. Overall, we had a lovely time and would love to return.

Superb holiday. Great house and lovely pool. Comfortable beds and powerful showers. Amazing views. Beaches at Kamina and Skala both superb. Water incredibly warm. My choice would be: Breakfast at the Villa on the terrace or at Ammos beach bar at Skala. Service and food at Ammos was top notch. You get your beach umbrella and beds their too. Light lunch at Ammos too (great beach food - big choice). All drinks available. Nice juices / smoothies and all served to your location on the beach with v reasonable prices. After lunch at Kamina beach which is on the drive back to the Villa. Pool time and then Katelios for dinner (loads of choice and good food) or back to Skala. We liked Pikionas. Great service, great food and nice seafront location. That was a typical day for us. 4 adults and 2 children in our group and the accommodation was perfect in size. Could house 1/2 more easily. Pool and pool area is huge and surrounding area and gardens really well maintained. Sharon and a Roger do a grand job and communication is easy and instant if needed. Superb hosts. Loved this part of Kefalonia and will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Walters

Host profile image
Both my husband and I are now retired. We are pleased to offer our holiday home to guests. Our villa is a rather special place to us which we enjoy sharing with our family at holiday times - this is reflected in the beautiful furnishings, making it a home from home and is so much more than a typical holiday let/villa.

Why they chose this property

After visiting the island of Kefalonia some 12 years ago and being already well travelled, we knew that Kefalonia was a place that we wanted to visit again and again. With its un-spoilt beaches and the locals very welcoming, its culture and history, it made each and every stay more special.

Finding a piece of land virtually by accident only days of being advertised it was meant to be and here we are. Having a plot of land and a bespoke house taking in all the breath taking views of the sea and beyond to Zante, Kefalonia is a very special place to us and we hope that we can share with our guests the love we have for the island.

We hope you enjoy your stay and look forward to welcoming you again.

Sharon and Roger Walters

What makes this property unique

Spectacular sea views to the front of the property and beautiful mountainous views to the back of the property and olive groves. It's a great location to explore the island. Good walking routes are directly from the villa or, for the more adventurous, there are fantastic unmade roads leading up to the mountain villages which are great to explore on foot or by quad bike. It's also within easy distance to the best turtle beach on the island, Kaminia, where we enjoy seeing the baby turtles hatching and making their way to the sea. We have an exceptionally large pool, with hydrotherapy jets and wide Roman steps which is a great place to relax.
Only a 15 minute walk to Katelios with its good selection of fish restaurants and local Greek restaurants, beach bars. It has a good beach and is a great place to eat and the children can play on the beach in front of you.
