Villa Melina - 2' walk to beach, brand new 2024
Our stay was amazing! We had such a great time! The property is absolutely clean and stylish. It is exactly the same as shown in the pictures and a minute walking distance from the beach. The living room has a comfy sofa and few boarding games. A kitchen with all the items you’d need to cook and all very clean and well presented. The bedrooms have fresh and clean bed sheets. We are obsessed with cleanliness and we couldn’t be happier to find everything clean just like a 5 star hotel. The beds are so comfortable too! Added bonuses with the welcome basket and the meticulous attention to every request or question from the host. Pantelis is an incredible host and he made our stay impeccable! If you’re looking to spend some time sipping cocktails and renting comfy sunbeds we definitely recommend the costa costa beach club which is only 12 mins driving distance. As far as restaurants we loved lungomare (amazing sunset view) and il borgo. We would definitely recommend

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 73 reviewsOctopus's Garden
We ( 2 70+ women) have just had a wonderful week at Octopus Garden. The weather was perfect, Agia Effimia welcoming and the sea at our front door. The house is well appointed, light, spacious and attractive and the garden is a very real plus: beautifully designed and with places to sit in the sun or in the shade- with a view! There is also Tuli, a small black cat with yellow- green eyes... It was difficult to leave! Thank you Dionysia

As a family of four, we loved our stay in this beautiful house. As soon as walked in we felt right at home. The verandah area is lovely, the beds are comfortable, the decor is tasteful and beautiful and the house is so welcoming we didn’t want to leave. Everything worked perfectly and was in excellent condition. It has everything anyone could possibly need in a very convenient location. One of our favourites!

Well, what can I say! George’s house is absolutely perfect for a chilled out, relaxing holiday. We stayed for 1 week and would’ve stayed longer if it was possible. Everything was just perfect for what we wanted. The house was spotlessly clean, the beds extremely comfortable and the outside space just perfect. Located just a few steps from the little shingle beach, the house is in a gorgeous location. We spent our entire holiday on the beach, watched the sunrise every morning drinking coffee, swam in the clear blue sea, watched the boats arriving in the harbour and used George’s kayak most days to explore the coastline. The local taverna serves gorgeous food plus there are a few other restaurants within 2/3 mins walk. We prepared our breakfast in the house and enjoyed it on the beach then ventured to the local taverna for our main meal later in the day. We stayed on the beach until after dark, just having a few drinks, chatting and enjoying the tranquility. We will definitely return!

Penelope’s house is in a beautiful position, with a wonderful terrace overlooking Kioni. There is a 10-minute walk to the harbor along well-maintained steps. Penelope and Spiros were excellent hosts – the check-in was very smooth - Spiro met us and helped with bags and Penelope had wonderful homemade treats waiting for us when we arrived. We were given a late check out due to late ferry and flight, which we really appreciated. The house is serviced every 4 days to replace towels, sheets, and empty bins, and it is very well equipped for cooking. We will be back for sure!

Had a great time - the house is perfect for families with small kids, ours absolutely loved the garden and the swing. Also, there is a large tree which provides shade and acceptable temperature even around noon (30+ degrees). Pebbly beach with cristalclear water just across the street and several beautiful beaches in walkable distance. Beautiful sand beach ~10 mins drive. The house itself has a large, very nice living room/kitchen and has everything one needs with two small kids. Chara was an amazing host, helped with everything and also got the dishwasher repaired within a few hours when it stopped workinf mid-week. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for a lovely stay. The villa is even nicer than pictures show, with the pool & gorgeous views of the hills & sea. Very helpful hosts who met us on arrival, responded to all queries and gave us lots of local recommendations. Definitely recommend hiring a car to get around and exploring the beautiful island. Hope to visit again!

5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviewsKefalonia Private Paradise
We had an amazing stay at Akis & Eleni's property. It was presented exactly as it was in the pictures and perfect for our family vacation. It's a private property, so very peaceful, with an amazing pool, outside area and sun loungers. Just a very short walk out the back of the garden and you are on a lovely (very unique) beach. There is a great beach bar if you turn left, and a short walk around (through the water) some rocky outcrops (or via some steps to avoid the water), a larger selection of beachside bars and restaurants, and water activities. You'll need a car for the supermarket and exploring the rest of the island, but it was the perfect bolthole for us for a week. Akis & Eleni were excellent hosts, and very easy to contact to provide you with the peace of mind you need on a family trip. Would highly recommend this to one family or two!

Amazing villa. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here. We were a family of 6. We had a 2 year old and it was perfect for us. A beach is walking distance. We visited recommended taverna’s which had amazing food and created with home grown vegetables. Spiros couldn’t have done anymore for us. He was an amazing host and will definitely visit again
Home in Matsoukata
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviewsVilla Floral, idyllic stone houses in Kefalonia
We had a wonderful 10 days here. There are amazing views from the property and a lovely pool which we used every day. The property is in a very peaceful location with lovely surroundings. We had a visit from the managing agent on our first day which was really useful as he advised the best beaches, restaurants and local attractions on the island. Fiskardo is only a 5 minute drive away and we spent most days there either visiting one of the beaches, eating at one of the restaurants or going to the supermarket. My sister and family had the lower villa and they also loved it. We both said it would be very strange having a family you didn't know in the adjoining villa! You would feel like you were encroaching on the other family's private space and it would feel awkward. Both families agreed this was our favourite summer holiday and we hope to return again one day!

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsVilla Effi Lourdata
Villa Effi is the most perfect place to stay. Absolutely beautiful, with everything you could need. Plenty of space to relax, air con in every bedroom, and the highest standard throughout. The swimming pool and garden area is amazing, with stunning views of the sea and mountain. Just a couple of minutes away from the mini markets, and only a short walk to the gorgeous beach, where there are tavernas & bars. We had the best time staying here, would recommend it to anyone, and Amalia is an extremely helpful, friendly and responsive host. We were extremely sad to leave.

Sogna in colourful Assos, Kefalonia!
Booked at very short notice as we weren’t loving where we’d originally booked. This place was a bit of a life saver. The pictures looked amazing but honestly this place was even better in the flesh! Spotless inside, cool spacious bedrooms with wonderful en-suites. The pool and deck area were superb and we spent a lot of time soaking up the sun. Kitchen and dining area just what we needed. Cleaner came daily too. Thanks so much for a brilliant week!

Loved our week in Regina’s apartment on the ground floor. Bigger than the photos look - lovely space, lovely kitchen and big bright bedroom. Lounge was great, eith comfortable sofa plus access to Netflix! Just a 1-2 min walk into central Fiskardo, dangerously close to a lovely bakery :-) parking available right outside the apartment, which is on a quiet lane.

Home in Sami
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 56 reviewsSeafront Terrace at Sami, Kefalonia (Cephalonia)
Wonderful 5 days in Sami staying in Dimitri’s apartment which was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 teens. The terrace is the real star - a good size and different areas to sit. We enjoyed morning coffee, lazy lunches & dinner on the terrace which really has the best view in Sami! Great for people watching in the restaurants below but not intrusive. Beautiful sunset views and we loved watching the yachts in the port. Easy to park on the street behind and only a few steps from all amenities. Lots of restaurants but you must visit The Mermaid restaurant below for very reasonably priced Kefalonian food and very friendly staff. Sami is a great location for exploring the island with several beaches nearby. We had a wonderful visit - thank you!
Home in Argostoli
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviewsTiny Smart House Kefalonia
Brilliant stay at the tiny smart house recently. The location is perfect for walking and exploring Argostoli and Lassi, it felt like we were equidistant from everywhere we wanted to visit. The smart Echo system is brilliant for operating the heating and lighting and we loved popping on Spotify whilst we prepared for the day and relaxed with a drink just like we would at home. The shower was spacious and the bed comfortable. The outdoor area is lovely perfect for relaxing with a coffee first thing or with a glass of wine at night. Thanks again for the wine on arrival given the late hour it was the perfect start to our trip around the island. Local recommendations restaurants: Aristofanis, Orea Kouzinaki and Yard (other side of De Bosset Bridge, great for brunch), nearby beach: Gradakia (20 mins walk)

We had a great stay since our arrival Alexandros turned out to be an extremely kind person who was helpful and full of directions to make us feel at home. Its presence made us move and find the best beaches according to the conditions of the weather,the winds and the sea. Highly recommended. On many trips we had never found such a person present and available. A relationship has definitely been born that will lead us to visit it again in the future.

Home in Lefkada
5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviewsAlkyoni House
Apartment looks beautiful as on the fotos. The view is amazing. The house has everything you need from dishes to bath shower and towels. We got even some presents from the host uzo, honey and vegetables from his garden. The host was very kind and helpful. On the way to apartment in the place Dragano we have cuted two tyres, he wanted to come to pick us up and drive all the way to Lefkas which is one hour far away. He even organized for us rent a car at 11 o'clock at evening. We were amaized by his kidnes. Next time when we came to Lefkada we will for sure stay in this house. Also, there was a Ferry's strike as we have reserved accomodation in Cephalonia and Dionisis gave us one night gratis because of all ours troubles. Amazing house and amazing hosts.

Our stay at the Airbnb was absolutely perfect! Katerina was an exceptional host—she went above and beyond by bringing us delicious sweets and helping us arrange taxis for our convenience. Her hospitality truly made our experience memorable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
