Notes from the host
Villa Katsika
With its simple design, villa Katsika will enchant you: a 4000 meters plot with olive trees, carob trees and strawberry trees …an outstanding situation for a peaceful stay, enjoying the exceptional sea view in an idyllic setting.
Around the villa, the Mediterranean vegetation, with bougainvillea, rosemary, oleanders and lavenders, mixes with more tropical plants such as hibiscus, ficus, strelazia, and with the scents of jasmine and honeysuckle.
The recent construction is respectful of environmentally-friendly standards: Canadian well, good insulation, outside great pergolas but also ventilators for those searching for more freshness.
A south facing balcony over a secret little pebble cove with a small path leading to it (only a five minutes’ walk), offers a panoramic view of the Ionian sea, strewed with its mythical islands, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Meganissi, Arkoudi, Atokos …a real dream.
For early risers, the sunrise is absolutely marvelous, and later in the afternoon, when the sea breeze blows, it will nicely cool down the shady terraces.
If you are lucky enough to stay here at full moon, its silver reflections on the sea and the pool will fascinate you, during aperitif or grill time…
And when departure time has come, no doubt you will keep in mind these fantastic memories.
Please notice that villa Katsika is available for rent in July and August only.
# Outside.
You’ll arrive at the villa from the first floor. Once the car is parked, you can walk on a lovely path (some meters) which brings you to the first room. Covered stairs lead to the ground floor where the first great enchantment awaits while opening the door, the wonderful sea view.
You join the terraces with their shady or sunny areas, as per your choice.
South, you find a dining place under a plant-covered pergola, then on the west side the infinity pool with an incredible sea view with boats sailing on the wind.
Around the pool, the sun chairs and the hammock under the pergola are waiting.
The 8 m x 4 swimming pool with its turquoise water is built in two parts: the first part for those who prefer to swim in low depth (1,10 meters), the second part with a slope deeper to 2 meters.
A shower in the middle of vegetation will delight you with this unending and wonderful view. On the side, a charcoal barbecue and 2 steps up the dining area overlooking the pool and the sea. The peace of a little Greek styled saloon will definitely seduce you.
