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 or 5 (double & twin) bedrooms & en --suite 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, 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, offers 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 are 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 !

Additionally, Yolanda, the Chef and house manager, can arrange a number of activities, from skippered motor-boat daily trips, kayaking, snorkelling and jet skiing to in-house massage. Yoga classes 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 experience 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!

Please note:
- Rates include all taxes,
- There is a refundable security deposit to be paid.

Exceptional stay at Olive Mill Villa
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.

Excellent holiday
It’s a really beautiful house, especially the outside area which is great to spend time there throughout the day. It is tucked away off of the road and surrounded by very well kept grounds. The olive mill and surrounding area is very special. The main aspect though that stands it apart is the chef and housekeeper which make it a really relaxing stay, while the food is among the best I have experienced in Greece.

Yolanda and Effie make the stay even more AMAZING!
I must admit, I was a bit leery of having staff around during our stay at the beautiful Millstone Villa, we like our solitude on vacation, but Yolanda and Effie were an absolute delight to have around. They made us a simple breakfast in the morning and a delicious, appetite enticing, meal in the evening that was on par with any restaurant we had been to. It was a relief not to have to deal with dinner reservations or meal prep after a long day out in beautiful Cephalonia. We are now spoiled and will definitely have to return. As for the Villa itself, it is immaculate and very well taken care of. The beautiful garden property is very quiet, a quick drive downhill to local beaches, and a coffee shop/bakery a short walk away. Lysander takes great pride in his property and is very responsive to your emails. He was a pleasure to work with and I can highly recommend his property.

Lovely relaxing stay
We had a lovely week at Millstone, what bliss not to have to cook or wash up for a whole week! Effe and Yolande looked after us very well and Yolande's cooking is excellent. The gardens and terrace are a lovely place to relax and the pool is a decent size. We were a party of 9 adults and 4 children and used all the available bedrooms. One thing to note is the downstairs/basement bedroom is accessed by stairs outside of the property not within the main villa. The south of the island has sandy beaches, they are hot hot hot and the north of the island has rocky beaches. We stayed one week here and then another week in another villa in the north of the island so that we got to see all that Kefalonia has to offer.

Stunning
A truly wonderful two weeks, wonderful in every aspect. The vision of the owner to create such an amazing and lovingly restored villa, his wisdom, advice and patience from the time of booking through to saying goodbye at the end - superb. Kefalonia is mesmerising, the colours, the welcome, the landscapes, the food - everything. But best of all, Yolanda and Effie the hosts - very special in every way - Thank you! Can we come back every year?

Holiday Heaven
This is our second visit to the villa and we chose to return to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary as we wanted to go somewhere special and we knew this would be somewhere special. It didn’t disappoint. The villa is well appointed and maintained to an exceptionally high standard. It is set in beautiful gardens with a fabulous pool lovely views. What makes the villa extra special is the staff Yolanda and Effie who are friendly and welcoming. Having a private cook like Yolanda who serves you the most superb food makes the holiday a truly fabulous getaway. We definitely want to return.

Simply wonderful
We had an amazing week on Cephalonia thanks to Lysander's careful planning, Yolanda's 5-star cooking and this beautiful villa as our home base. Our only regret is having booked a one-week visit as we could have easily stayed two or three times longer. From the moment we arrived, Yolanda and Efi made us feel very much at home. The house is lovely, extremely comfortable and beautifully kept. The grounds are spectacular, full of flowering shrubs and pots, rosemary hedges and olive trees. In such a magnificent setting, one feels totally connected to the natural world, a rare occurrence for those of us who live in large cities. We spent our days lounging by the pool, exploring nearby beaches and towns and going on several day-long boat trips to areas inaccessible by other means. Lysander has amazing contacts and organized everything for us. We highly recommend chartering "My Yacht" for a day-long cruise to some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. Another must is enjoying one of Yolanda's incomparable dinners next door at the historic Olive Mill, an old and very elegant art of Lysander's ancestral estate. It really is impossible to overstate what an extraordinary experience our visit to Millstone was. We enjoyed every luxurious minute of it and hope to return someday for a much longer stay. Our thanks to Lysander, Yolanda and Efi for making our vacation such a special time.

Fabulous Stay!
We have just returned from an idyllic 2 weeks here. From the amazing Yolanda with her totally delicious cooking to the attentive Lysander who couldn’t do enough to make our stay special with anything from ideas for excursions to boat bookings. This really is one of the finest villas you can stay in on any of the Greek islands for the simple fact that the service level is so high. The villa itself is beautifully presented in a traditional style with lovely gardens which extend next door to the restored Olive mill. Our children loved eating under the vines and the views down to the sea are delightful. I certainly hope we will be back soon!

Luxurious villa holiday with charming (and talented ) chef and maid
We spent a wonderful two weeks at the villa with a number of friends and family and having the lovely chef Yolande and her assistant Effie at our disposal allowed us to entertain and enjoy the company of our party. No more spending time on shopping in the supermarket and worrying about what everyone is going to eat..heavenly! The villa itself is elegantly furnished with some lovely touches with a good view of the coast whilst having sundowners on the terrace. The beach nearby is Trapezaki, (sandy and v clear water) which is approx a 1.5k walk downhill.Not recommended to walk back tho'! Also to be recommended at the beach is Dennis's taverna when not eating at the villa.. All in all we would highly recommend a stay at this villa..perfect for 6-8 people, friends and or family.. Also a special mention to the villa owners recommendations, all the ones we tried were excellent...
