Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Karavados - Villa Marbirini
Luxury 3 bed Villa with private pool & stunning views of Zakynthos and Mt. Aenos

Luxury 3 bedroom Villa in Livathos with fabulous views to the front across the sea to the Island of Zakynthos, along with the dramatic Mount Aenos as its backdrop. Livathos is recommended as 'the' place to stay in Daily Telegraph's article, 'Kefalonia, the prefect break' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/greece/greekislands/7988597/Kefalonia-Greek-Islands-the-perfect-break.html

Located on the outskirts of the charming village of Karavados, the Villa is very modern, fully air conditioned with a private pool. Within a few minutes drive lies a superb selection of beautiful sandy beaches and traditional Greek Tavernas. Ground floor provides spacious open plan living accomodation with comfortable lounge, dining area and fully equipped modern kitchen. First floor comprises master bedroom with double bed, sea views and is ensuite with bath/shower & feature porthole window. Second bathroom with shower, all 3 bedrooms have their own balcony - bedrooms 2 & 3 have twin beds.

Perfect for either relaxing or sightseeing: You can elect to chill out around the pool at the Villa or there are watersports facilities at nearby Lourdas beach. Makris Gialos, only 10-15 minutes drive away, is a busy beach in the resort of Lassi and has a full range of watersports facilities such as waterskiing, windsurfing, parasailing, scuba diving, etc. The Villa is a short driving distance away from a number of beautiful sandy beaches and traditional Greek Tavernas. The Villa's private swimming pool measures 8m x 4m and is 1.2m at shallow end and 1.7m at deep end. The pool and sun area to the rear of the property is finished in Albanian stone, as is the driveway, where there is ample parking for at least two vehicles. Six sunbeds and two poolside tables are available together with two large parasols, garden table and 6 chairs. A traditional Greek barbeque is also fitted outside. There is a lawned area to the front and side of the Villa, which is walled and gated. The garden benefits from external lighting.

Places to visit on Kefalonia: The Villa is a great base to explore the island's many attractions, such as the nearby St Georges Castle, where the views over the South West coat and Argostoli bay are simply stunning. Sami is a picturesgue port on the East coast and the nearby Drogarati Caves are stalagmatic caves thought to be 150 million years old. Melissani Lake is an underground cave with a lake and when the midday sun hits the turquoise-blue waters, it creates a magical illusion filling the cave with blue light. Assos is a tiny village on the North-West coast built on a small peninsula dominated by the ruins of a 16th century Venetian castle and is not too far from Myrtos beach, one of the most photographed beaches in the world. Fiskardo is another picturesque fishing village on the North coast and is one of the few villages not to be destroyed in the earthquake of 1953. St Gerassimos' (the island's patron saint)Monastery is at the heart of the island and the interior is decorated with breathtaking murals.

Review Submitted: 27 September 2012 Date of Stay: September 2012
Very comfortable villa with everything you could possibly need. Great location with views from the front over the Ionian Sea to Zakynthos. Beautiful beaches within 10 mins, and lots of restaurants and tavernas within 15 min drive.
20 mins from the airport so no long drives/transfers when you arrive.
Pool area in particular is fabulous.
We will go back!

Review Submitted: 02 July 2012 Date of Stay: June 2012
We have just reurned from a fantastic family holiday at Villa Marbirini. From firsyt contact, the owners have been more than helpful and very prompt in replying to queries. Before the holiday we were sent a v. detailed info pack with everything we could need to now about the villa, local area and amenities and the island. The villa was spotlessly clean, comfortable and one of the best equipped we have stayed in - home from home! the owner's representatives met us on arrival and were v. helpful -cleaning and laundry changes were done efficiently and discreetly.
Fabulousclean pool, meticulously maintained every day, usually before most people surfaced.
We loved the local St. Thomas' beach but Mrythos is stunning and worth a visit on the way to Fiskardo. Argostoli great for fruit and veg and a fantastic bakery - don't miss seeing the giant turtles in the bay. Local taverna, Happiness great value and friendly but favourite was The Olive Tree.
Kefalonia is a beautiful island and Villa marbirini is the perfect place to stay - we would not hesitate to recommend it and hope to return soon
Owner's Response: We're delighted to hear you had a fantastic holiday at Villa Marbirini! Many thanks for your booking and your glowing comments and we hope it's not too long before you return!

Review Submitted: 17 July 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
The service received on enquiring about the Villa was highly professional, we really appreciated the speed of responses via email and phone calls. It made the whole process very easy, we knew exactly what was happening at each point. The information emailed to us was detailed and exactly what we needed to know; we made our booking close to departure and it really helped us organize the rest of our trip. The directions and images that we’d been sent were very easy to follow and helped when trying to describe where we were going to the taxi driver we used to get the Villa initially.

We were met on time on arrival and were shown around the Villa, everything was clearly explained to us and we were shown how everything worked, which was definitely needed! The Villa was lovely and clean and we felt at home very quickly. The welcome hamper was great! It was exactly what we needed after a long journey and definitely above expectations. We used the information pack every day! It had everything we needed, including taxi numbers, George was great, he helped us decide what trips we were going on. We had everything we needed in the Villa, (even eggcups)! The dishwasher and washing machine were an added bonus.

Overall the facilities were great and exceeded all expectations of our group. The outdoor facilities were perfect, we loved the BBQ and had home made burgers twice during our stay. There was enough seating and sun loungers and everyone was comfortable. The pool was cleaned every day during our stay, although we were always asleep when it happened! The description of the Villa on the website perfectly describes it, if anything we were even more blown away when we got to see it in real life! We got 4 mopeds in the end, much cheaper than cars and so much easier for 8 people to zip around the island on. We really enjoyed St Thomas’s beach, the one closest to the Villa, we went to a several other beaches but this one was by far our favorite. It initially looks really small, but you can nip round the corner to a more secluded bit, and the cafes near by were great too. The locals were lovely and really appreciated our terrible attempts at speaking Greek, they were really helpful in directing us and helping us on our way

The only disappointing bit was having to leave! We had a lovely holiday and the location was ideal, we’d highly recommend it and would definitely consider re-booking!

Villa Marbirini - A'Home from Home'
5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 16 July 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
One of the most enjoyable aspects of our stay at Villa Marbirini was having a ‘home for home’ with all the facilities we needed. The island itself is quiet and relaxing and the Greek roads don’t disappoint, they are ‘lovely’ to drive!

Everything ran smoothly right from our first enquiry - when we booked the service was very efficient, we received lots of information before we travelled and on arrival we were met on time and received a warm welcome. The villa was very clean and well-presented and all the facilities both indoors and outdoors exceeded our expectations. We particularly enjoyed the experience of Greek night, with Greek buffet and dancing on Thursday evening at Andromeda.

We would definitely recommend the villa and consider returning there in future. The villa was all the owners said it would be and we had a very relaxing time. Thanks for your efficiency and a most enjoyable holiday…

Review Submitted: 16 July 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
Our enquiries to the owners were always answered very quickly and the information we received was very accurate and honest - this is a professional service. On arrival the villa was very clean and well presented and with an excellent ‘welcome’ hamper, which was a nice touch. We were met on time, made very welcome and shown how everything worked. The representatives were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. When the party split into two groups we gave our son the front door key, which he thought didn’t work so they got us new keys cut immediately.

The villa itself is excellent and has every facility and appliance we needed. Everything was in A1 condition and everywhere was spotless. It's extremely well looked after and can’t be faulted, very spacious and considering there were five adults it didn't feel crowded. It's very well set out, has all the facilities you need for a holiday and has a lovely ambience. It is very easy to chill out and relax there. The pool is great and was cleaned every day - the ladies particularly enjoyed watching the pool man! The area around the pool is nicely laid out with plenty of sunbeds, chairs, etc. Touring the island was a great adventure - lots to see and do and we didn’t cover all of it. We were emailed a copy of the villa information pack before our holiday. It was very useful and was used to plan our days out and dining options. We used the BBQ twice and it was a pleasant alternative. The men cooked and the ladies relaxed and were pampered!

If we were to visit the island again then we would definitely consider using the villa again and would highly recommend it to all. Thanks for a lovely holiday!
