NEW FOR 2025
The Trapezaki area of Kefalonia has won the hearts of many Simpson Travellers, with its winning combination of high-quality accommodation, peaceful landscapes and beautiful beaches that appeal to all tastes and moods. This sleek new villa brings you all of these benefits in one stylish package, complete with blissful views across forested slopes down to the sparkling blue sea.
It’s an idyllic spot for an escape, encircled by greenery but still with lovely sea views. Comfortable loungers encourage you to linger here, but when the sun is at its height there’s plenty of shade to retreat to. Inside is cool, contemporary and welcoming thanks to tiled floors and tastefully minimalist décor, which works equally well for a family group or a romantic getaway.
Beaches are of course a big part of the Kefalonia holiday experience, and the coastline just below Kefalonia Escape is scalloped by some of our personal favourites. The nearest is Trapezaki, a mix of sand and fine shingle with a popular taverna for those sun-kissed, high summer days when you just want to stay in your swim things till dark. If you’re travelling with children, there’s lots to explore in the rock pools at Agios Thomas, or head for the sandy beach at Lourdas for the full range of facilities from watersports to waterfront dining less than a ten-minute drive from the villa.
In Greece, a tourist tax may apply at your accommodation which will be payable locally, in cash, during the course of your holiday. Please use the link to view details specific to your accommodation. View tourist tax rates here.

I could fill the whole book about this amazing place! Two weeks and a truly wonderful time. Peaceful and tranquil – lovely villa, pool, island. We have visited Kefalonia for many years and now our children are 19 and 16, and it is all still amazing for all of us.
We recently returned from a wonderful two-week stay at the Kefalonia Escape Villa, booked through Simpson Travel, and it was truly one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holidays we’ve had. The villa itself is fabulous – beautifully designed, immaculately clean, and extremely well looked after. Fully air-conditioned throughout, it provided a cool retreat from the summer sun. Nestled among tranquil olive groves, the peaceful atmosphere was only interrupted by the gentle sound of goat bells in the distance – utterly idyllic. The views from the villa are simply stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. We spent many evenings soaking them in from the terrace or enjoying a refreshing swim in the lovely-sized pool. It was the perfect place to unwind. Local amenities are excellent. Several superb tavernas and beaches are within a short walk, with crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The combination of convenience and seclusion is rare and very much appreciated. We travelled with two teenage children, and the faultless Wi-Fi was a definite bonus – a real lifesaver for keeping them connected and content! Having used Simpson Travel multiple times, we continue to be impressed by their exceptional attention to detail and outstanding customer care. Their Kefalonia representative, Karen, was fantastic – knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay was perfect. In short, this villa – and the region – come highly recommended. Peaceful, beautiful, and brilliantly managed by Simpson Travel, Kefalonia Escape Villa offers everything you could want for a restful family holiday. We’re already looking forward to returning.
This was our third Simpson holiday. The high quality of property is matched by the in country team and their expertise. We'll definitely be travelling with SImpson again.
We’ve had two weeks in this lovely villa and have so enjoyed everything here and on Kefalonia. Morning tea on the balcony enjoying that view! Swimming/cooling off in the fabulous pool. Relaxing, cooking in the cool of the villa. We’ve visited Argostoli, but our favourite, Assos (tiny but pretty), Fiskardo (lovely range of tavernas & beautiful), but you pay for the location, and our favourite was Sami. Less commercial but still has lots of charm and some great shops and tavernas. Waking up at home will be tough without the view.
We loved the villa because it had everything we needed and the beds were comfy. Lourdas beach was amazing because the sea had loads of different shades of blue. The ice creams were really good.
Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
Densely forested hills dotted with traditional hamlets and a coastline of small, quiet coves make Kefalonia an unspoilt Greek holiday delight. Its northeastern tip shelters picture-perfect Fiskardo, whose 18th-century houses stand proud with their flower-festooned balconies and carved doors. South Kefalonia hosts Argostoli, the vibrant island capital that still has an active fishing fleet alongside its buzzing cafes and restaurants. Come early and you’ll probably spot a loggerhead turtle in the harbour, or stay late and take a stroll down the waterfront promenade. Trapezaki is a little southern secret, with beautiful views over the sea to Zakynthos and up to Mount Ainos, the highest peak on the island. There’s an unspoilt sandy beach here with a single taverna, and if you’re looking for more choice, try Lourdas, a lovely long sandy/shingle beach lined with waterfront cafes and restaurants.
