Ionian Sands is a beautiful villa, set in an elevated position on a hillside, nestling amongst the trees, directly overlooking Lourdas beach and just a short distance from the sea. Access to the villa, form its own private driveway, is up a short flight of steps to the front door, from where you can either enter the house, or follow the paved walk-way around to the sunbathing terrace and shaded veranda, overlooking a marvelous free-form, infinity-edged swimming pool that appears to flow off through the pine trees to the sea below. Surrounded by mature gardens and dense vegetation, Ionian Sands is extremely secluded and is not overlooked, adding to the sense of oasis-like tranquility. On entering the cool interior of the lounge, dining and kitchen area, your attention is immediately drawn to the homely and comfortable nature of quality fittings and furnishings. A number of thoughtful touches and attention to detail will ensure that you relax immediately into your holiday on Kefalonia. The lounge and dining area has large sliding patio doors out to a shaded veranda for “al fresco” dining, which not only overlooks the pool, but has stunning sea views. The kitchen has everything needed to provide a gourmet meal and should you happen to find yourself behind the sink, then a perfectly placed window with a view will instantly revive you. Just along from the lounge and dining area, is a bright and cosy en-suite twin bedroom, complete with doors out to the shaded veranda and pool. Upstairs are two attractive, well appointed en-suite bedrooms with private balconies and sea views. The double is worthy of special mention, as it boasts the unusual feature of a corner bath, again with a window that allows you to shower with superb sea views. Ionian Sands together with its neighbour Ionian Beach are a great choice for a group of friends or families who want to be close to each other, yet still have a degree of independence. For occasions when it is required, an intimate, wooded pathway links the gardens of both properties. All in all Ionian Sands is a perfect choice for a relaxed and peaceful holiday on Kefalonia, close to the beach.
I would rather not give this accommodation a 1-star review as generally the accommodation is as described, but we had a major issue with smell of sewage in the downstairs area of the villa. The smell was so obnoxious, it would stick in the back of your throat. This made the downstairs bedroom unusable. Eating outside with the smell unthinkable , and so enjoying the pool and the spectacular view to be avoided. As a result we abandoned the villa for the beach, driven out due to the vile smell. I spoke to the cleaner about the smell, she indicated that it was carried in the air from a newly built hotel. It was not. I have since discovered that there have been some negative reviews on review websites referencing sewage smell as recently as July and September 2023, and the company has done nothing about it yet is still being rented. The sewage smell is isolated to property, and is prevalent when using water. It is such a shame as otherwise this property would have been fabulous
The location is excellent: the house is positioned on a hill, but if you're fit or willing enough to walk it, the beach and several great restaurants/bars are within a 10-minute walk. There are mini markets and a bakery nearby. It feels very private and quiet - the pool area is completely secluded from anyone's view and has all of the amenities you need with loungers, towels, umbrellas, dining table and chairs. The pool is well-maintained and was a nice, cool temperature. The inside space is sufficient for everyone to be comfortable. The beds were comfortable and there are working fans and air-cons in each bedroom. The house could be cleaner. There is some mildew in the sink and shower areas which could be removed. The plumbing was delicate - there was often a smell both inside and outside of the house which caused some frustration. The plumbing in Greece seems delicate overall, but it was frustrating to have to deal with this in a "luxury" accommodation, and I do hope they address it.
We had a wonderful time in this villa. The view from the pool area and balconies is just stunning and the immediate surrounding area was so quiet… all we could hear was the sounds of nature which was really relaxing! We got very lucky and had a gorgeous warm sunny week for mid October so we got lots of use out of the pool. We loved the position of the villa, close to both the local beach, a number of nice places to eat out and a couple of mini markets. We recommend hiring a car so you can go and explore even more of this beautiful island. The welcome hamper was very generous and much appreciated. We highly recommend staying in this lovely villa.
It is not difficult to see why Lourdas has become one of the most popular beach resorts on the south coast of Kefalonia. Clinging to the shoulder of mount Aenos, whose comforting bulk shelters it from inclement weather and whose lower slopes provide a marvellous vantage point from which to enjoy panoramic sea views. Views which extend over the Ionian sea, to the east, where the Greek island of Zante crouches on the horizon, whilst to the west, the craggy outline of the Liakas peninsula marks the end of the bay.
The area has a number of excellent beaches, often with a choice of tavernas or bars right on the water’s edge, ranging from Lourdas’ own to neighbouring Kanali and Trepazaki. We are therefore delighted now, to be able to offer a pair of nearly identical, quality three bedroom villas, each with their own private infinity swimming pool and garden, hidden amongst the lush vegetation above Lourdas beach.
