Our family is from Kefalonia, one of the original families of the island. The villas are under the name Leondios Villas. Leondios was our grandfather’s nickname that morphed into our “parachoukli” which translates to family nickname (not surname). Every Kefalonian family has a “parachoukli”. Our grandfather was from Kornelos, a village in the hills above Skala. He was an entrepreneur who sold and bartered olive oil, raisins and wine. He farmed land on the hills above and north of Skala. Our parents were born and raised on Kefalonia, they endured the horrors of the WW2 occupation, Greek civil war and the 1953 earthquake. Because of the earthquake, they emigrated to the United States. They returned much later in life to enjoy what modern Kefalonia has to offer. They instilled “philotimo” a word that has no direct English word, but a simple translation of “honor your friend”. We welcome you to our home, with philotimo. The property manager is a local in Skala.

The Atherina neighborhood of Old Skala consists of only 6 villas and is the lowest elevation and easiest to get to. Great views in a garden like atmosphere with the ringing of goat bells throughout the day and the occasional callout of the neighborhood donkey. It is only 4 minutes by car to the beach, 3 minutes to the pedestrian street, restaurants and shops. The walk down is easy but we do recommend a car in the heat of the summer to get back to the villa. Above the villa in the Old Skala neighborhoods high above there are many marked hiking trails for the avid rambler.
