Villa Xi Sunset

About this property

The idyllic and comfortable Villa Xi Sunset is carved into the lush countryside landscape in the picturesque village of Mantzavinata in the Paliki area of Kefalonia. It offers a wonderful mix of traditional, natural and contemporary living in a secluded, peaceful location. Mantxavinata is an atmospheric, quiet village, just 2 km from the beautiful Xi Beach, which is friendly and welcoming. The village, famous for its Mantzavino wine, hosts a fabulous wine festival each August. It is 4 km southwest of Lixouri.

Villa Xi Sunset is extremely spacious both inside and out. With large, open spaces, it overlooks majestic cliffs and mountains and the stunning, crystal clear, azure Ionian Sea. The lush landscape frames astonishing sunset and sunrise views which are very special. The villa boasts three spacious bedrooms, all with excellent, modern ensuite bathrooms so is ideal for a family or a group of friends.

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is contemporary and wonderfully light and airy. Many windows and doors illuminate the whole area. The kitchen is fully fitted and contains everything you would wish for a self-catering holiday. The living space leads to a delightful terrace and swimming pool. There is an outdoor lounge area as well as alfresco dining. The outside space is perfect for alfresco meals, pre-dinner drinks as well as morning cups of coffee. Sun loungers surround the swimming pool. You cannot fail to relax in this beautiful setting.

The villa’s interior is modern with earthy tones of beige, white and grey. The furnishings are contemporary and of excellent quality. Two of the bedrooms have double beds, and the third has twin beds which are next to each other. The fully tiled ensuite bathrooms are well maintained. The rooms in this villa enjoy fabulous views either towards the ocean or the mountains. Villa Xi Sunset is a wonderful escape from everyday busy lives. Guests will enjoy the understated beauty and comfort offered. 

Villa Xi Sunset is located in the stunning lush countryside in the tranquil village of Mantxavinata, close to Lixouri. Lixouri is the second largest town in Kefalonia, 35 km west of Argostoli. The beautiful town was built on the site where the ancient city of Pali used to be, before the major earthquake of 1953. Plenty of delightful restaurants and bars line the busy waterfront of Lixouri and the main square, Plateia Petritsi. Lixouri holds many festivals throughout the year and is known for its rich cultural traditions. It boasts one of the oldest philharmonic schools in Greece. You can visit some atmospheric churches with wonderful frescoes, the archaeological museum, neoclassical buildings and the famous Monastery of Kipoureon.

Xi Beach is characterised by its white rocky hills and its fine, reddish-brown sand. It is a well-organised beach with straw umbrellas and sun loungers as well as a beach bar and watersports centre. You can use the red sand as an impromptu face mask! Also, close by are Megas Lakkos Beach, Lepeda Beach, Kounopetra Beach, Markris Yalos Beach, Gradakia Beach and Fanari Beach. A huge rock stands between Xi Beach and Megas Lakos. The beach offers lovely views to the islet of Vardiani. The famous Myrtos Beach is 21.4 km from the villa and definitely worth the drive. It is one of Kefalonia’s most dramatic sights and among the best beaches in Greece.

Kefalonia shot to fame with the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and it is easy to see why it maintains its popularity. Lush hilly forests guard the sprawling vineyards, honey-hued sands surround the island and are kissed by turquoise calm waters and pretty towns and villages come alive for tourists in the evenings.

Further north from the Paliki peninsular are Assos and Fiskardo, both wonderful day or evening excursions from the villa.  Assos is peaceful and charming with some excellent restaurants and cafes. It is surrounded by luscious green scenery and verdant forests. It offers a mystical atmosphere, almost as though the village is lost in time. Pretty pastel-coloured houses are nestled into the steep hillsides, and the castle is a popular visit. On the northern tip of the island, Fiscardo is trendy and chic. The waterside dining is fabulous, and there is a great selection of unique boutiques. As well as colourful fishing boats in the harbour, you will see many luxury yachts as Fiskardo is the place to be in Kefalonia.
