A villa with private pool, built for year-round living
This five-bedroom villa with a private pool is for sale in Livadi, a small village on the Paliki Peninsula near Lixouri. It was designed for comfortable living all year, with generous rooms inside and plenty of outdoor space around the house.
Many villas with pools in Kefalonia are holiday homes first. This one was planned as a family home, which shows in the space it gives you to live, cook, work and host.
Who this villa suits
- Families who need five bedrooms, or four plus a study.
- Buyers moving to Kefalonia for good, who want a pool without sharing it.
- Extended families who spend long summers together and want room for everyone.
If you plan to let the villa when you are away, ask a Greek lawyer about the rules for the type of letting you have in mind before you buy.

Buying a home in Kefalonia as a foreigner
Buying a villa in Greece from abroad is simpler than many people expect, but there are steps to follow.
- Buying property in Kefalonia as a foreigner: tax number, lawyer, notary, costs and Golden Visa rules.
- Building a house in Kefalonia: build costs, permits and earthquake design, if you would rather build your own.
- Long-term rentals in Kefalonia: how leases work, if you want to rent first or let the home out.
Our guides explain the process in plain terms. They are not legal advice, so always use an independent Greek lawyer for your purchase.
