Description of Assos Helen

3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms

Assos Helen Overview

Three-bedroomed Assos Helen is named after Helen of Troy – said to have been the most beautiful woman in the world. The villa mirrors her beauty with its simple, elegant and cool contemporary décor.

Expect lashings of greys and beiges spiced up with brightly coloured accents in the soft furnishings and artwork, as well as beautiful tiled flooring and statement lighting. Set in a quiet spot overlooking the glittering waterfront in the north of Kefalonia, the villa provides the perfect escape for couples, friends and families alike.

A generously-sized terrace also surrounds Assos Helen. The result? Panoramic views of the breathtaking landscape. Think picturesque beach of St. Jerusalem, the infinite Ionian Sea and the curves of the bay.

The spacious terrace also entices you to cool off in the private swimming pool, relax on a sea-facing cushioned sunbed or read your holiday book under the protection of the shaded gazebo – all while enjoying the mesmerising vistas. There’s also a barbeque and alfresco dining table, so you enjoy that freshly-bought seafood or a glass of local wine over a magical sunset.

On the ground floor, there’s a fully-equipped kitchen as well as an open-plan sitting area and dining room. Kick back after a day of exploring on the sofa, cooling off in the air conditioning, or plan your next day’s adventures.

With the world-famous Myrtos Bay – a stretch of sandy shore between two mountains – and Assos village with its shops, tavernas and historic sites like Assos castle – both a short and scenic drive away, there’s plenty to see and do.

When you get back, know that comfy beds await. Choose from the stylish master double bedroom or twin bedroom with a separate bathroom on the first floor, or master double bedroom in the spacious attic. The latter overlooks the sitting room and has an en-suite shower/bathroom, as well as more fabulous views of the sea.

Assos Helen Location

Assos Helen is in the quiet and traditional village of Assos on the Ionian Island of Kefalonia. It shot to fame as a set of Louis de Bernieres' wartime novel – and later film – Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Years later, it still feels like an undiscovered secret with its serene natural setting, historic sites and a relaxed atmosphere.

Kefalonia is also renowned for its soft sandy beaches, mountain gorges and quaint harbour villages. Spend your days swimming in the crystal-clear waters, exploring the Venetian-style architecture or trying fresh local cuisine like seafood, mezes or moussaka.

The villa itself offers the perfect starting point for exploring more of this beautiful Ionian island. It’s only a short drive from must-see sights like the 15th-century Assos castle in Assos village and Myrtos bay with its picture-worthy beach that’s framed by tall cliffs – both seen from your terrace.

In Assos village, there are also verdant forests with pine and cypress trees to explore. The town is small and still retains its old-world charm with classic Ionian architecture and pretty pastel-coloured houses nestled into the steep hillside.

At the harbour, you can while away the afternoon watching fishing boats and luxury yachts mooring, while in the village square there are tavernas, shops and restaurants to dine at or do as the locals do and sip cold coffee. Assos beach is also a must visit, with its clear waters and fantastic views across the bay. You can relax on the pebbles or swim and snorkel in the sea.

From the villa, Assos village can be reached by car. The coastal route to get there is spectacular and takes in the dramatic rock formations and tranquil sea waters.  

In Kefalonia, you’ll also find many intriguing caves to discover. There’s the magical underground lake of Melissanthi or Drogarati with its exquisite natural formations. You could also hop on a boat and head to the untouched coves, inlets and secluded beaches. Some tours stop off for lunch and swimming.

Or, for a dose of culture instead, head to Saint Gerasimos monastery. It’s an impressive 15th-century building that sits beneath Mount Ainos, near the villages Falgrata and Valsamata.
