Overview
Nestled high on a hill, far from the bustle of the town, Villa Bosset offers a peaceful sanctuary that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. As you approach the villa, the views immediately captivate you – to one side, the lush, rolling mountains, and to the other, the sparkling blue waters of the Ionian Sea. It’s a setting that promises tranquillity and rejuvenation, making this haven on Ithaka Island a true retreat from the world.
Upon entering, the interior exudes a warm, welcoming charm. The villa is furnished with Italian elegance, combining timeless country style with modern comforts. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, a vintage blue-grey beauty complete with all the essentials for a relaxed, home-from-home experience. The dining area, with its sturdy black wooden table, provides the perfect setting for shared meals, while the cosy living room invites you to unwind. Sink into one of the blue-grey sofas, and you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the garden, terrace, and the inviting pool just beyond.
The villa features three generous bedrooms, each designed for comfort and privacy. On the ground floor, a king-sized bed sits next to a quaint terrace. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts a king-sized bed and a roofed Mexican-style patio, offering a 360° view that takes in both the mountains and the sea. A second bedroom, with twin beds, enjoys a private balcony with the same stunning sea views.
Step outside, and you’ll find an expansive greystone terrace, perfect for soaking up the surroundings. The private pool, with its built-in jacuzzi and delightful fountain, is a true highlight. Six lounge chairs are positioned nearby, and a large dining table provides an ideal spot for meals al fresco. The scent of olive trees, rosemary, and lavender drifts on the breeze, adding to the villa’s peaceful atmosphere.
With its close proximity to the capital Vathi, the villa is an ideal base for exploring the history and beauty of Ithaka. Kaminia Beach is just a short drive away for those who seek a dip in the crystal-clear sea.

Getting There
How to reach Ithaca island
Ithaca is one of the Ionian Islands and is closest to Kefalonia, Lefkas and the Greek mainland.
Ithaka has no airport so preference is to fly to Kefalonia then drive to the port of Sami (33km) where you can take a ferry to Vathy in the south of Ithaca.
Ferry services are fairly frequent, with sailings from Kefalonia, Corfu, Lefkas and Athens (Piraeus Port). There is also a limited route between Fiscardo (North Kefalonia)and the small port of Frikes.
