Are you seeking a honeymoon haven or relaxing couples retreat? One-bedroomed Assos Waterfront on the beautiful Ionian island of Kefalonia is your go to. Of all the Ionian Islands, Kefalonia is one of the most alluring, tempting travellers with its stunning landscapes where mountain gorges meet sandy paradisal beaches.

This luxury villa, is as its name suggests, set in the midst of it all, overlooking the sparkling sea. Top features include a private outdoor swimming pool as well as a tranquil terrace area and elegant contemporary cool décor – and all you have to do is put up your feet and relax.

By day, find your prime sunbathing spot on one of the cushioned sun loungers, day beds or bean bag chairs dotted around the swimming pool or take the short drive to Myrtos Bay where soft sandy shores meet the calm, crystal-clear sea.

By night, the villa’s al fresco dining area is set against a backdrop of scarlet hues as the magical sunset slowly disappears behind Assos castle and the tree-lined mountains. Or, you could head into the centre of Assos – a charming villa that still retains its traditional charm – and enjoys freshly-caught seafood at one of the friendly local tavernas.

When you get back cooling air conditioning, a spacious open-plan living room with comfortable sofas and chairs and your luxurious bedroom await. There’s also a fully-equipped kitchen and shower room on the ground floor. When it’s time for bed, walk up the staircase to the attic where there are a double bed and shower room, as well as plenty of wardrobe space.

Put your head back on the pillow and fall asleep to the soothing sound of the water washing over the rocks just metres below. Oh, and did we mention steps are leading directly down to the seafront too? From there, you can dive straight into the water and swim 200 metres to the nearest beach (also accessed via boat).
