Chestnut villa in Kefalonia

The concept: Side by Side Resting on the west side of Argostoli, Chestnut brings together two luxury villas in Kefalonia, creating a welcoming base for up to eight guests, with the option to accommodate one more on a sofa bed. Ideal for families, the property offers the rare comfort of being able to holiday side by side while still enjoying the privacy of two separate homes. Its warm architectural character feels immediately inviting, from the soft earthy tones and tiled roofs to the gardens, terraces, and views towards the sea that give the whole estate a relaxed Mediterranean charm.

Outdoors Both villas open to their own private pools with jacuzzi jets, lounging and dining spots, and an easy outdoor flow that gives Chestnut a calm sense of abundance. One of the pools can be heated during shoulder season, adding another layer of comfort. Around them, the gardens, the open sky, and the sea view create a setting that feels both expansive and sheltered. Morning swims, children moving freely between indoor and outdoor space, lunches under shade, and evenings around the BBQ all feel as though they belong here without effort.

Indoors Inside, each villa is arranged around an open-plan shared space where the kitchen, dining area for six, and living room lead directly to the terrace, allowing the sea view to remain part of the backdrop. The four master bedrooms are all ensuite, all fitted with king-size beds, and all enjoy direct access to the pool terrace, which gives every guest a welcome sense of privacy and independence. The mood is calm and minimal, with enough warmth in the materials and enough simplicity in the layout to make the stay feel immediately easy.

Good to Know For an island like Kefalonia, where the days often move naturally between sea, town, and landscape, Villa Chestnut is particularly well suited to family stays. Location-wise, Argostoli and Makris Gialos Beach are both close by, so outings remain easy and the practical side of the holiday never feels demanding. Beyond that, Kefalonia rewards a slower pace, with generous scenery and an easy balance between beach days, town time, and scenic drives across the island.

Chestnut fits naturally into that rhythm, offering the kind of ease that quickly becomes one of the stay’s real luxuries.
