Location

The Villa Votsalo is situated in Kioni on the north coast of Ithaca, at a location with magnificent panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, in between two small ports on one of the most beautiful routes of the island next to the sea.

The villa takes its name from the cool smooth pebbles (Votsalo) which the beach is made from.

The magnificent views from the villa include many nearby islands and the famous island of Lefkada.

Kioni is the premier resort of Ithaca (or Ithaki) and one of the most picturesque village ports in the Ionian islands of Greece.

Set within a horseshoe bay, the neoclassical houses of the village tumble right down to quayside.

Kioni is truly that idyllic picture postcard idea of a village in Greece.

The bay, the flanking slopes of olives and its winding streets through pretty, flower-tangled houses and its harbour front make it one of the Ionians top villages.

Ithaca has many secluded Beaches which can only be visited by boat as well as many that can be visited by land. The nightlife of the island is fairly relaxed, there is a bar located next to the sea that is open until late, tavernas and shops.

Other bars and clubs can be found in the nearby town of Frikes which is located 3.5km from the villa.
