A tranquil summer residence for guests who trade the fast lane for the shade of an olive tree and the sound of cicadas at dusk.
Set on a terraced hillside above the fishing village of Kioni, Ithaca Garden Villa is a private retreat built for stillness. Days unfold in the garden — under the fig and olive trees, along the shaded patio, in a quiet courtyard where the only intrusion is the sound of cicadas.
Inside, the villa is finished with a light hand: linen upholstery, natural stone, muted plaster, and considered fixtures throughout. A single, private residence — never shared — for the length of your stay.
One queen bed + two single beds — sleeps four in quiet comfort. Additional beds and pillows can be arranged on request for a small fee.
A slow walk through the whole house — from the stone terraces and olive-shaded patios to the private bedrooms and quiet reading nooks. Filmed and edited in-house so you know exactly what you're booking.
The villa is a short stroll from the crescent harbour of Kioni, minutes on foot to the village tavernas, and only two minutes from the island's quietest beaches. Convenience and privacy at this level of luxury cannot be matched anywhere in Kioni.
Films of Kioni harbour, the winding coastline, and the villa itself — moving portraits to sit with before your stay begins.
The reward of Ithaca is that it is not easy to reach — quiet, unhurried, deliberate. Three routes we most often recommend.
The villa comes with the calm attention of Stella, our on-island housekeeper and concierge. From a candlelit private dinner on the terrace to a full-day boat charter, she arranges the small luxuries that make an Ithacan week feel effortless. Write to us at booking, or reply to your welcome email — Stella takes it from there.
"We came for a week and stayed for two. It is the most quiet place I have ever known, and the light — the light is impossible to describe."
Bookings are on a first-come basis. Payment secured via Stripe. The season runs May through October, with a minimum stay of 3 nights.
