Return visit

Have stayed as an extended family here before and enjoyed so much booked again. Lovely, very clean, staff responsive, and views even better than I remember. Only caveats are that roads are a surprise to UK drivers being steep, narrow, barely negotiable without an adventurous spirit. WiFi provided a throughout of 2mb download and 0.5mb upload; very poor for 8 people to share, especially with 4 teenagers. Last thing was that none of the internal doors had locks on them so you were unable to lock your bedroom, or even the toilet when using it. One toilet could not be opened from the inside so I did wait 10 minutes for the kids to let me out as they were busy playing ping pong (great thing for all of us)

Family hols after covid

The property was exactly as described.we were a family of people from Germany and England as the first proper chance of a lovely holiday all together.The villa has plenty of space ,lovely views and very private.The grandchildren had a super time in the pool and could let off steam without annoying anybody and we didn’t have to keep saying be a bit quieter think of other people. The drive up to the villa is like taking a track of grid but after a few days you get used to it. The Lady that came to clean and change towels and linen did a super job and came 2 times a week. We really had a lovely relaxing hols and Kefalonia is a dream island which we have visited the last 3 times.We would stay at the Villa again as it is what you would want in a holiday let. Thanks Johanna for letting us stay.

Beautiful, spacious villa in a peaceful idyllic setting

The villa is in a beautiful countryside setting, the only noise you can expect is from the bells the goats wear around their necks, and the crickets. Despite this, it’s only a 1km walk to the nearest beach Avithios which has a couple of tavernas & a welcoming beach bar. The villa was well equipped, we were given a selection of essentials to start off our holiday - thanks for the cool beer & wine!!! The pool was perfect for us all with gentle steps for the older family & deep enough for the youngsters to dive bomb. It’s a great location to explore some of the beautiful Kefalonia coastline. We all wanted to stay longer....

Lovely Villa , although a little way out, but well worth the views.

It was very easy to rent the property, we had someone meet us at the airport to show us to the villa. He went through the villa , all the rooms, and appliances etc.

Family Holiday

A fabulous villa in an excellent location. We have stayed at this villa on numerous occasions and have had an amazing time. The villa is spacious and well presented with all the facilities you could possibly need. The pool is a good size and very well maintained. There are a number of excellent tavernas within easy drive. A car is a must unless you enjoy long peaceful walks everywhere. Excellent local beaches are close by. Joanne, the owner, is professional and courteous and a pleasure to deal with. A thoroughly enjoyable week with our children and grandchildren. This villa would also be fantastic for groups of adults looking for a relaxing holiday.
