Villas of The Greek Islands JESS Kalinowsky Friends Travel LLP

the Greek Islands
Corfu, and the beautiful Ionian Islands of Paxos, Kefalonia & Lefkada, are our flagship destinations. Our villas include exceptionally appointed stylish coastal properties, luxury mansions, and more simply furnished converted fisherman’s cottages and traditional stone houses. Many are suitable for families with beaches nearby, almost all have swimming pools, many enjoy fabulous views, and all have maid service.  Additional services include a visiting masseuse or aromatherapist, a daily cook service, and boat rental. 

New for 2011, we are delighted to introduce a handful of villas on the tiny, picturesque island of Meganissi, where quaint villages populate the verdant scenery, the beaches are unspoiled, the waters are crystal clear, and the people are tremendously friendly.  It is a wonderful island for walking and boating, and is ideal for a truly relaxing vacation.

Also new for 2011, we have introduced The Peloponnese, an unspoiled and comparatively undiscovered region. With the opportunity to relax on pristine beaches, explore ancient ruins, and discover tiny coves and waterside tavernas, it is a lovely location for family holidays. We have a selection of villas with pools available in the seaside villages of Kardamyli, Stoupa and Gialova.

Our prices are listed on a per week basis with varying occupancy levels, and include accommodation, car rental,  Travel representative, maid service and welcome food hamper.

We have representative offices and staff in Corfu, Paxos, Kefalonia, Lefkada (& Meganissi) and The Peloponnese to assist during your vacation.

Villa Omorfi Thea, Corfu Villa Omorfi Thea, Corfu
Sleeps up to 8 

The name of this villa – meaning ‘beautiful view’ – says it all, the view is quite simply incomparable, south across the stretch of sea that divides the island of Corfu from the mainland, with every part of this lovely house benefiting from it. 

Situated high on the hillsides of the north-east coast, the villa escapes the bustle and noise of the seaside resorts, but it is by no means isolated. The small, unspoiled village of Porta is close by, and a good traditional taverna is only a couple of minutes walk away. A well-surfaced, wide road brings you up from the coast, with its shops and amenities, in about ten minutes.

Price per villa from $7820* per week.

Villa Siorra Elena, Paxos Villa Siorra Elena, Paxos
Sleeps up to 10 

Just a short drive from Gaios, this villa belongs very much to the modern concept of holiday homes – stylish, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped. The villa is furnished and decorated with an effortless elegance. Soft colors, modern furniture, double beds romantically draped with mosquito nets are combined together naturally rather than by design. 

This lovely, sophisticated house, offers accommodation spread over two floors, each with its own full complement of facilities and ample outdoor space.  Two families can happily share the villa without a loss of privacy. Smaller groups are equally welcome.

Price per villa from $3800* per week.

The Architect's House,  Kefalonia The Architect’s House, Kefalonia
Sleeps up to 4 

This property is located a quarter mile down an unpaved track. While there is no sea view, a mere three minute walk will take you down a shade covered and gently sloping path, bringing you to a small cove with a beach and a view of Ithaka that takes one’s breath away.

The cool stone, high vaulted ceiling, open-plan living area and pale color scheme add to the tranquility that the house exudes. Downstairs, French windows open on to stone terraces that in turn lead to the swimming pool just below.

Price per villa from $1620* per week.

Agrepavlis Cottage, Lefkada Agrepavlis Cottage, Lefkada
Sleeps 2 

This cottage, surrounded by pretty natural gardens, is an extremely attractive villa for two. Discreet in its location with a private entrance and parking area, it provides idyllic views of the breathtaking surroundings. 

Built of stone in the traditional Ionian style, it has a particularly beautiful pool area, with comfortable seating and a fine view down to the bay below. The ground floor is almost entirely open-plan, furnished in a comfortable contemporary style and opening on to the pool terrace. A spiral staircase leads down to the spacious bedroom on the lower ground floor, and the comfortable sofa bed that can be made up to accommodate two additional guests, is in the living room.

Price per villa from $2392* per week.

Villa Yialena, The Peloponnese Villa Yialena, The Peloponnese
Sleeps up to 6 

This Villa is set on a gently sloping, grassy hillside overlooking Navarino Bar, site of two great naval battles. It is only 20 yards from a seemingly endless sand beach that is quiet enough to be a nesting place for the protected caretta-caretta turtles of the Ionian Sea. Close to the small harbor village of Gialova, the villa is ideally located for the breathtaking beaches, endlessly interesting historic sites and fascinating wildlife of this region. 

Price on Request.
