Villa De Tara is a recently built villa, modern in design and finished to a high specification, and is set in almost 1000 sqm of private land. Sitting on the outskirts of the beautiful village of Kefalas, high above the sea, De Tara enjoys panoramic views of the bay of Georgioupolis all the way to the town of Rethymnon, and the Psiloritis Mountain range, including Mount Ida. Villa De Tara has been deliberately designed by it's owners so that all of the bedrooms, main living room, terraces, and the pool area benefit from the marvellous sea views and incredible sunsets.
Tastefully decorated and furnished to an extremely high standard, the villa has a warm, light and airy ambience, painted and tiled throughout in soft creams with mediterranean blue aluminium window frames, shutters and doors. All modern conveniences are provided including satellite TV, DVD and CD players, ceiling fans and air conditioning units in the bedrooms and living room. For the cooler nights in the early or late part of the season, the a/c units also double up as heaters, or cosy up infront of the open fire place in the lounge as you look out over the evr changing sea. There is solar powered hot water or a back-up emersion heater, and an off-road parking area at the front.
The villa has a number of outdoor terraces, so you can find sun or shade at all times throughout the day. Wrought iron gates open to the graveled garden area with flower beds and terraces. The swimming pool and covered BBQ area overlook the sea.

The village has 2 tavernas, 2 well stocked mini markets, and 4 kafenions, one with internet access. There are eight churches in Kefalas, some of which are historic, and the villagers celebrate with a feast day on August the 15th. On the outskirts of the village towards Drapanos there is the ruin of an ancient windmill, and you will also see many old corn threshing circles dotted around the area.
