Villa location

Villa Venturi is situated on Kefalonia’s breathtakingly beautiful, north-west shoreline with uninterrupted views of the Ionian Sea. The house is nestled in the natural landscape amidst acres of cypress and cedar trees, and ancient ruins.

Kefalonia, the rugged, romantic island of Captain Corelli‘s Mandolin, remains one of Greece’s best kept secrets. Despite being the largest of the seven Ionian islands, it is underpopulated and remains largely unspoilt.
