Villa Marco. Sea Front. Private Pool
This was an amazing place and phenomenal hosts! Connie and Andy were flexible, accommodating, had great communication, and were super helpful! We were greeted by Andy who was waiting to show us to the place so we knew exactly where it was. He greeted us with some goodies which were delicious and a sweet gesture. He showed us around the place and checked in with us to make sure we were good throughout our stay. Beautiful view of the ocean. Clean pool and place. Had everything we could ask for and more! Can walk to the local market, cafes, and a great restaurants. Strongly recommend staying here!!!

Iconic Villas - Villa Vada with private pool
Villa Vada : what a gem! The best villa we have ever stayed in. Beautifully restored, decorated to a very high standard. Very peaceful and private with a stunning view. We had the most fabulous week and will be back!

Forest Villa
Delightful villa, in beautiful shady forest surroundings. Very well laid out with every amenity that one would wish. Large pool in stunning garden setting. Lots of different places to sit. Beautiful wildlife, birds, insects, butterflies and wonderful bats in the evening. Great BBQ and Nespresso machine. Excellent coms throughout. Well stocked fridge/essentials - perfect as we arrived late.

Private Villa Bonora
Family of 4 with 2 teens. One of the best Airbnbs we have had, and we have had some great ones. The house is very charming, traditionally furnished, spotless and everything works. Fresh fruit, local honey and oil (+ tea, coffee, v well equipped kitchen). Beautiful outside space, pristine pool, great views. Easy roll down (need a car) to Argostolli. Good quality, reasonable Taverna very close. Sotiris is a great host. Came from town late in the eve to check us in. Came and cleaned the pool checked the garden. Friendly and and really good recommendations for day trips and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Villa Ireni Waterfront
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ireni. Firstly the location is fantastic! A short walk from the marina which is packed full of delicious restaurants. As well as supermarkets, a bakery, pharmacy and a variety of other shops for any needs. Directly outside the villa there's a lovely little beach, perfect for all the family. The Villa itself was spacious. We're a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for everyone. It was great to have air-conditioning for a little cool down when the sun got too much. It was also so well stocked. Every time I needed something it seemed to already have been thought of and provided. The roof terrace had beautiful views out over the sea and plenty of sun loungers for everyone. Efi is such a friendly lady and it was a pleasure to bump into her now and again through out our holiday. We arrived late and walked into some delicious home made pastries and a variety of treats which was such a nice touch. Would book again without hesitation. Thanks Efi

The View
We had a great stay at the villa. It exceeded our expectations and was truly a beautiful place to relax. The view is unmatched with incredible sunsets! The villa has everything that you need, and is in a very private location. William was very helpful and responsive both before our stay, and whilst we were on the island. He was able to provide lots of local recommendations and nothing was too much trouble for him. The villa was easy to find and easy to follow instructions were provided prior to our arrival. I would definitely recommend staying here, and we would love to come back in the future.

Villa Piano - Art Villas with private pool
We just enjoyed a lovely week at Villa Piano. It really is an amazing villa, with picture perfect views of the pool, lawn and sea beyond. The villa itself is spacious with loads of living space, and big bedrooms. The kitchen was fully equipped, and came with much more crockery, pots and pans, etc than normal with an airbnb. We were traveling with a baby, and the hosts helpfully arranged a high chair, travel cot, and lots of baby-specific towels, blankets and bedding. We felt right at home! Will definitely come back!

POPPYS PLACE sleeps 4 in Sami
If you are planning a visit to Kefalonia then look no further than Poppy’s Villa! Just book it as soon as you find it available! Carol is a lovely and gracious host. The villa itself is what you want in a second home when you are traveling. Beautifully appointed and with all the amenities you need. The pool and the outdoor kitchen are amazing. Inside you find everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The villa is even prettier than the pictures you see. Carol and Geoff are warm and welcoming. We extended our trip because their place is simply amazing. Their story and how they came to be in Kefalonia is special. The villa is in a beautiful village near the quaint village of Sami. It’s perfectly situated to explore the island. Everything in the villa is thought through with great detail and attention. We look forward to visiting them again in the future. If you want an unforgettable holiday then this is the place to be!

AthinaisLakVilla
Without doubt the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in. There were 10 of us with ample facilities for everyone. The children particularly liked the pool. There was a mini market, bakery and some nice restaurants all within easy walking distance. It is located a short drive from Argostoli and some really nice beaches. The villa was so clean and well appointed that it was absolutely wonderful. The host was fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Lavender House, Close to Fiskardo, Kefalonia
We were a group of 6 celebrating a 60th birthday. The villa was perfect for our needs - spacious and comfortable with a lovely pool area for evening dining and daytime relaxing. The villa was clean on arrival and was cleaned really well during our stay. Fern was helpful and responsive throughout. We had a great holiday!

Michaela Villa
Absolutely amazing place! The villa exceeded expectations as it looked better than the pics suggested. The pool was open in April as well which was great! Aggeliki was a very responsive host, everything was perfect. Would love to come back.

Mathilda's House: The house within nature!
What an amazing stay. We loved the house and the surrounds. We hired a quad bike and could get to the nearby beaches and restaurants with ease. The pool area was fantastic and so too the outside deck. There was great communication and easy check-in. We will be back! Thank you!

Villa Kanali - Private Pool Steps from the Beach
We had a fabulous week at Villa Kanali. The villa is in a great location in Lourdata, in-between two lovely beaches. We loved the beach going towards kanali in particular with beautiful spots for relaxing and glorious turquoise waters for swimming. The villa has fantastic outside space with the pool a real bonus. Having en suite bathrooms for each bedroom was ideal, giving everyone space and privacy, which was great for 2 adults and two 17 year old girls. The location of the villa gives great views of the main beach, whilst feeling very private. We loved Lithero taverna which is next door to the villa, where we ate 3 nights out of the 7. The villa was spotless, and had everything we needed to eat in as well. The hosts were very responsive with clear instructions. Anamaria responded very promptly to queries we had, working with a brilliant local team who were quick to help when needed. Thank you for being great hosts and for the stay in your wonderful villa!

Villa Thalassa Kefaloniaprivatevillas
This place is a paradise. Quiet, comfortable, clean and the views are absolutely stunning. I didn’t want to leave and ended up extending for two more days. Ideal location to explore the Island and Themis was a very attentive host. I wish there were more stars to give!

DaLuz Luxury Villa with Private Pool and Sea view
An amazing Villa with amazing views. The inside was beautiful and well equipped like staying in a 5 star hotel. Also in walking distance to a beautiful swim spot and Windmill restaurant. Sitting in the pool watching the sun go down each night made our trip.

Iremia • Luxury, Serenity, Style, Sea View in Kefalonia
This was a beautiful and luxurious villa in a peaceful location with a breathtaking view. Everything made our vacation feel so special. I cannot fault the pool, the outdoor areas, or the villa itself- it was all excellent. The weather was up and down when we visited but due to our lovely villa, we was still able to relax and have those amazing views from inside. Michel was a friendly host and he was very easy to contact and happy to help with anything you may need. Mr Takis was very friendly and could not do enough for you. I highly recommend this villa, and we will definitely come back.

Villa Arietta (sleeps up to 5)
Villa Arietta is a real hidden gem. Set in a quaint little village in the hills with stunning views of the mountains and ocean. The house itself is peaceful, immaculate and surrounded by beautiful gardens and many different areas to sit and relax. The outdoor kitchen is fantastic! We have a 15 month old baby and Penelope made sure we had everything we needed for her - it’s the perfect house for families. Penelope went above and beyond, providing us with lots of information about the house and the island. The house is perfectly located for sightseeing and days at the beach - Petani and Vatsa were our favorite beaches. We had the most magical stay at the villa, it really did feel like home for two weeks and Penelope and her family are outstanding hosts and we cannot thank them enough for making our stay so magical.

Sea view Villa Irida with pool in Trapezaki
A beautiful villa. We stayed with another couple and had an amazing time. Not much to say other than it was exactly what we wanted; do not hesitate to book. Great restaurants a 5 minute walk away (had coffee / breakfast at Boho multiple times and Veramente for a nice dinner) and a nice bakery a 5 minute drive (Φούρνος Ο ΚΑΛΟΥΡΗΣ). Pool was cleaned everyday by the very responsive hosts.

Serene Villa with Large Pool near Lassi/Argostoli
We had a fantastic couple of weeks staying at Villa Sunflower. The villa itself was perfect for our family of four. It was well equipped and spotlessly clean. It's in a stunning location with gorgeous views over the Argostoli bay, which can be enjoyed from any of the three balconies. The pool was brilliant, our children loved playing in there at least once every day. There were inflatables, balls, games etc. that made their pool time even more fun. There's plenty of comfortable sunlounges to relax on around the pool if that's what you prefer! On arrival Vicky and Kelvin were there to meet us. They had left us water in the fridge along with various other goodies. We really couldn't ask for more from our hosts. They were happy to answer any questions or offer advice on where to park in Argostoli to where they'd recommend to eat out. Overall it was an amazing holiday and if we return to Kefalonia we will be sure to come back to Villa Sunflower.

Mikro Boutique Villa
We had the perfect holiday at this villa, it is absolutely stunning inside and out, photos cannot do this place justice! The villa is so well equipped and Kostas was so welcoming and helpful throughout our break, maintaining the pool and keeping the outside tidy for us, without being intrusive. The villa is just a haven of tranquility and the perfect base for our holiday. I wish I just had a few more days on those sun loungers! Agia Efimia is a wonderful little village to stay in, with beautiful scenery, all amenities you could require, fabulous restaurants along the waterfront and secluded beaches with bright blue waters just a five minute drive away. The people are so lovely but this is true of the whole island, Kefalonia is such a special place. I cannot recommend Mikro Boutique Villa enough for a luxury stay on Kefalonia. One day I hope to return! Thank you Kostas and Labrini!!!

Vista Blu Villa2
Villa was absolutely spotless with everything we needed. Kostas was friendly, helpful and laid back and made us feel very relaxed and comfortable in his beautiful Villa built by himself and his Father. He also allowed one of our party to stay past check out abd arranged a taxi as his flight left later. We would absolutely stay here again. Useful having a car but if all you want to do is relax by the pool this villa is a perfect home from home in beautiful Kefalonia!

Villa Nymfes, Maria
we loved staying here. It was so peaceful a complete reset. perfect in every way! Thank you

Villa Mare
Our stay at Villa Mare was truly a remarkable experience. It is a rare thing to enjoy a vacation destination that is even better than advertised. Villa Mare is not only 5-Star lodging, but the physical location sits midway up the mountain providing breathtaking vistas from every room and every outdoor patio. Additionally, Constantino was the consummate host, staying alert to any needs we had including helping us arrange a boat rental regardless of the fact that very few locations were open so early in the season. A memorable location, otherworldly views and a very stylish space to stay. We will return!

Pear Perou Villa II
If we could rate this higher than 5 stars we would. The villa has absolutely spectacular views and when you enter the villa feel an immediate sense of relaxation. Kleo was fantastic. She provided recommendations for restaurants, things to do and organised a dinner for us in the villa, which was a feast. And, the breakfasts. Each morning brought a surprise to start the day and not having to think about buying everything for our family, was a real treat. We really can’t say enough about the villa and look forward to coming back next year, and the year after, and the year after.
