THE VILLA
Olive Mill villa is a fabulously appointed, authentic, country house with gold – standard service to match, while the meals prepared by its in-house Chef is a gourmet’s delight. This has turned it into a culinary and wine destination, while as from 2022 it is also a yoga retreat, offering additionally in-house massage sessions.
Overall the villa strikes the perfect balance between traditional elegance and modern comfort, where its in-house staff are on hand to ensure guests have a most relaxing stay, free of any hassle !
FULLY CATERED with 4 / 5 (double & twin) bedrooms & 4 / 5 bathrooms, this exceptional property enjoys a large, private, Tuscan style swimming pool, surrounded by a beautifully landscaped private garden adjacent to an ancestral, olive tree, estate dating back to the 16th c. and belonging since then to the same family. *
A superb skippered private motor–boat (for up to 10 passengers) is also at the disposal of guests (at an extra charge and requiring early booking, well prior to arrival).
Furthermore, at almost walking distance from the villa (or 2 minutes by car) lies the child-friendly sandy beach TRAPEZAKI with its sea front restaurant 'Denis'.
Recently built, the villa has sleek interiors and is stylishly decorated in soothing natural tones giving it a fresh summer look. The spacious terrace, where guests can enjoy al fresco drinks & dinners under the stars, controls the views, offering panoramic views over undulating olive groves, all the way to the blue Ionian Sea.
Singled out by Conde Nast for its elegance and top notch service, the property totally charms guests of all ages. The personnel (not live in) is warm, particularly discrete and attentive, providing friendly, unobtrusive service, while sparing no effort to make the stay of guests a carefree delight. The experience with this villa is more like staying at a boutique hotel, but just with the people one has chosen to be surrounded by.
Upon arrival, guests are given an extensive list of dishes (including suggestions for kids) to choose their meals from. The Chef takes care of the shopping, cooking and kitchen cleaning with the help of her assistant, so all guests have to do is decide what they want to eat and then kick back and relax !
The cost of the chef’s services, who prepares breakfast, eventually snacks and 1 main meal per day, is INCLUDED in the nightly rate (guests only pay for the ingredients -drinks).
Additionally, Yolanda, the Chef and house manager, can arrange a number of activities, from skippered motor-boat daily trips, kayaking, snorkeling, water skiing and jet skiing to in-house massage. Yoga classes and pilates at the Estate premises can also be arranged.
In conclusion, the place is an irresistible combination of nature, heritage and refinement as well as the absolute destination for families, couples, groups of friends, longing to relax and experience an off-the-beaten-track Greek island life at its best, in privacy and style !
* Within the estate, but on a separate plot of land, stands an impressively restored historic Olive Mill, now an olive museum. Guests may have the opportunity to visit and dine there, which some have described it as "a memorable evening and the absolute highlight" of their holiday!

Beautiful villa run by fabulous staff Yolanda and Effie who absolutely made the week an unforgettable stay.

Our stay at the Migliaressis Estate in Kefalonia was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the breathtaking views, elegant architecture, and warm, genuine hospitality. What truly set this experience apart was Yolanda, the chef and house manager, along with her outstanding team. Yolanda’s attention to detail, warmth, and culinary talents made us feel like honored guests in a private paradise. Every meal was a masterpiece—fresh, local ingredients prepared with love and Greek soul. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them and created an atmosphere that was both luxurious and deeply personal. The location of the estate is also ideal: tucked away for total privacy and tranquility, yet perfectly positioned to explore the best of Kefalonia. Whether we were relaxing by the pool, enjoying a sunset dinner on the terrace, or taking a short drive to the island’s pristine beaches and charming villages, every moment felt like a postcard come to life. This estate is more than just a rental—it's an experience. We left with full hearts, full bellies, and memories we’ll cherish forever. A thousand thanks to Yolanda and her team for making this trip so extraordinary. We can’t wait to return. Five stars aren’t enough.

What an exceptional week in what is by far the best villa experience we have had in Kefalonia. The villa is set in beautiful grounds with stunning panoramic views and is unquestionably five star quality luxury. From the comfort of the bedrooms to the facilities of the villa, it was faultless and the small detail is really taken care of.
What gives Olive Mill the unforgettable guest experience however, is the fact that it is staffed by Yolanda and Effi. The villa is fully catered and chef Yolanda is an incredible cook who prepared by far the best food we had on the island. Effi made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay, keeping the villa and rooms spotlessly clean and tidy and making our dining experiences truly memorable. There was a beautiful table laid each day, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner and as a group of 9 we were thoroughly spoiled. The mealtimes were a definite highlight. The property is joined to an Olive Mill next door which is accessed by a little clearing in the trees and a couple of stone steps. Another highlight of our stay was having dinner prepared in the courtyard of the olive mill one evening. It was exceptional and the views from the peaceful olive mill courtyard were stunning. The villa comes with an option to hire a yacht and skipper for the day - we took advantage of this and I would highly recommend this for a day around the islands. All in all a wonderful stay in a beautiful villa with warm hospitality. Thank you.
