☀️ Sunshine and beautiful beaches
🍽️ Amazing food and long, lazy lunches
🥂 Good friends and good times

We often describe The Walnut Tree as our **home from home** — and that's exactly how we want our guests to feel too. 💙

A place where you can…

🌿 Kick off your shoes and relax
🏊 Have the pool all to yourselves
🍽️ Enjoy long, lazy meals together
🥂 Watch the sunset with a glass of something cold
🎾 Have a game of boules or table tennis
📖 Curl up with a book

It's comfortable, relaxed and a little bit special — somewhere you can settle in and make yourselves at home.

And perhaps that's why so many of our guests leave saying they can't wait to come back. ❤️

U = Unforgettable

Some holidays are unforgettable because of the places you visit.

Others are unforgettable because of the memories you make and the people you share them with. 💙

Over the years, The Walnut Tree Villa has been the setting for:

🎂 Birthdays from **1 to 70**
💍 Weddings and wedding celebrations
❤️ Multi-generational family celebrations
🥂 Special occasions
👫 Friends reunited after years apart
🏊 Lazy pool days and BBQ evenings
🌅 Sunset drinks and long lunches
😂 And plenty of laughter!

But for us, The Walnut Tree is unforgettable for a very personal reason.

Years ago, we holidayed here as guests with Richard's dad. It was the last family holiday we shared with him. ❤️

A few years later, we were incredibly fortunate to be able to purchase The Walnut Tree and make it our home from home.

Now we have the privilege of sharing a place that means so much to us with our guests — watching them create their own special memories with the people they love.

And every time we're back at The Walnut Tree, Dad doesn't feel very far away. ❤️

Maybe that's why this place will always be a little bit more special to us than just a villa in Kefalonia.

Gather your favourite people, come to Kefalonia and make some unforgettable memories of your own.

T = Tavernas 🍽️

Is there anything better than a long, lazy Greek lunch or dinner? 😍

Kefalonia has so many wonderful tavernas, most are family run where you will receive good food and a warm welcome! Here are a few of our favourites — all in and around the Sami area, so they're super convenient from The Walnut Tree! 💙

🍽️ **Deco** — Jackie’s favourite! Possibly because her first visit was with her girlfriends, enjoying amazing food, great company… and no kids! 😂🍷

🐟 **Mermaid** — traditional Greek favourites and a lovely spot for a relaxed meal.

🍕 **Contessina** — one of our firm favourites, and Lewis absolutely loves their amazing pizzas! 🍕

🥙 **Mangiare** — a firm favourite with Johnny, who absolutely loves their gyros! 😋

🍷 **Bellos** — on the road to Poros, and well worth stopping for delicious food and that wonderful, laid-back Greek taverna feel.

🌿 **Kallithea Taverna** — Richard’s favourite! Amazing views down towards Sami, and their Sunday lunch (Inferno) is simply amazing. Wonderful food, a lovely family and a view that’s hard to beat. ❤️

Because a Kefalonian holiday wouldn't be complete without good food, good company, a glass of something cold and nowhere else you need to be.☀️

**What’s your favourite Kefalonian taverna?** 👇

R = Reunions ❤️

Some holidays are about the places you visit…

Others are about who you get to share them with.💙

Over the years, The Walnut Tree Villa has been the backdrop for so many reunions — families coming together, old friends reconnecting and loved ones celebrating special occasions.

And this year alone, The Walnut Tree has provided the setting for numerous birthdays ages 1-70! 🎂🎉

This summer is no exception, with friends we haven't seen for more than 10 years returning to spend time together after emigrating to Tasmania.

Pool days, BBQs, long lunches, laughter and plenty of catching up…

Because for us, **The Walnut Tree isn't just a villa**..... It's a place where people come together and memories are made. ❤️

Gather your friends, bring the people you haven't seen for too long — we'll provide the perfect setting for making new memories together.** ☀️

**Γεια μας! 🍻🇬🇷 Μέχρι αύριο!** *(Yamas! Cheers… until tomorrow!)*
