Liostasi private family cottage house in Argostoli
Lovely peaceful airbnb, very close to a small beach, and a 10mn walk into the town. Perfect for families. The house itself was very clean, and the beds very comfy. Communication with the host was very clear, we had an issue setting up the baby bed and the host came to help. The only downsides were that they had already turned off the jaccuzi (we booked for end of september and on the listing it says the jacuzzi is open that month), and there was not as many child amenities as listed. Better to check with the host when booking related to the above points.

Villa Atheras, Kefalonia
Angela is simply the most wonderful host we’ve encountered. She was extremely welcoming and let us check in early as we were in the area. The house is lovely and beautifully decorated. All the basics are provided which is always great for international travellers! The pool was amazing with great views and we all loved spending time outside. Angela is very friendly with lots of recommendations. She really is the perfect host and I would definitely stay here again.

"Liocharis Akro" for holiday in a farm
We had a great stay on Maria’s property. The view and surroundings are beautiful and we loved walking outside to see the water. It was a very secluded and private area, which we liked, however the road to the house was pretty rough and bumpy. You get used to it after a few days, but be ready for a lot of dust and dirt on the car! Maria was very responsive and helpful with any question or concern we had. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!

Colorvillas-Villa Blue with private pool-Trapezaki
Absolutely amazing stay at Villa Blue! My family spent 2 fantastic weeks at this beautiful property & it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning panoramic view across the pool & the most amazing place to enjoy the beautiful sunrise & sunsets The villa itself was immaculate & thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need from kitchen essentials to pool towels, wifi & BBQ. The layout was spacious & comfortable, plus friendly cleaner every few days We all enjoyed the great pool Our hosts were fantastic, incredibly responsive & attentive, always just a message away & helped with local recommendations. Their hospitality was spot on. Meeting us on arrival to direct us to the villa was very helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better villa or base to explore Kefalonia. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway with incredible views I would highly recommend Villa Blue. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Efi & Makis

Light & Stone / Sea view / Boutique House
Greg’s place is a dream airbnb. Although I have been increasingly disappointed with Airbnb as host become more and more corporate, Greg’s place is a beautiful home built by his great great grandfather (you can see his signature on a stone near the entrance). It has been in the family since. It has functions as a home and a refuge. It is Amazon g to get to participate in the history of such a special place.

THE OLIVE TREE COTTAGE
We loved staying here. Spiraggelos couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The accommodation was in an ideal location - in the countryside but a very short distance to Argostoli. There were sandy beaches within 10 minutes by car and the airport was 15 minutes away. The house came with everything we needed and had a good size garden with olive trees and a hammock under a fig tree. We would definitely return.

Ioanna’s cottage :)
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at this apartment! We were made to feel right at home and the hosts went above and beyond with their hospitality! We loved the tranquility of the place and the surroundings are incredibly picturesque. I would definitely recommend!

Kefalonia Sea View Cottage
What an absolutely perfect stay we had here. The most beautifully clean space with everything you could ever need included, two gorgeous little kittens, the prettiest garden and a breathtaking view. Check in was easy and our leaving gifts of herbs and marmalades was so wonderful. We will definitely be back, thank you so much.

Eutopia Fioro - 2 Bed Apartment in ideal location
We stayed almost a week in this nice and beautiful apartment in Svoronta. Even though the airport ist a 15 minute walk away, we never felt bothered by any kind of airport noise. The location of the House is close to the capital (Argostoli) and a good base to explore the island. The apartment itself ist clean and tidy. The hostess was extrordinary friendly and always happy to help. Her hospitality was remarkable. She told us about the sights worth seeing and where not to go. With her help we had a week full of special experiences. The Garden and perimiter of the aartment are well kept and extensive. The House comes with a friendly and happy dog and sweet and curious cats.

Villa Summer | The Seasons Villas
We had a wonderful stay at the Seasons Villa. Zoe is a responsive and proactive host. She went above and beyond with her customer service. The property and the setting are exceptional. We will be back! Laura

Stunning View Villa (Sea & Mountain) in Sami
Perfect experience! Everything was as advertised, even more. First of all, communication with the host was timely, active and without delays. We managed to find the place with no issues at all. Arriving at the house was a breeze, and felt right like at home. AC was up to the task battling with extremely hot Greek summer (38oC !). Shower and all other amenities were perfect. We were also able to use the provided washing machine and this solved our troubles as we were arriving there from a previous stay which did not offer that. The place is very calm, just 6km from Sami town which is port connection from Patras and offers amazing options for local restaurants, cafes, supermarkets etc. The most important is that it is just in the middle of the island, providing the opportunity to easily approach any other location without the need to drive long distances. High recommendation for families, group of friends or even lonely stayers! Couldn't ask for something more.

Cozy house on the Ionian Sea
A magical home in a wonderful location. My first trip to both this home and island. Will definitely be back. Also, Klara is an amazing artist with a phenomenal body of work. A must see.

We had a great time! Beautiful view, quiet and peaceful location, close to the airport, shops and the city. Check in was super easy! Gerasimos is a great host!

A wonderful house, beautiful sea views, lots of privacy and quiet location. Very nice terrace with a view and a garden. There was cleaning every 3 days. Christina is great host. Absolutely recommended.

Kefalonia Alexis house
lovely little newly renovated house, far away from the tourist hustle and bustle. communication was clear and always exceptionally friendly. would visit again :)

Holiday home in Ledes
This place was perfect, in such a quiet spot with amazing views over the sea and mountains. Ilias was so helpful, and the apartment was beautiful. Really nice touches with the beautiful books and decour. The local beach and restaurants were superb, and it was very easy access into Lixouri. Amazing!

Spacious Joleni Cottage amidst nature
We spent Easter week in this beautiful, serene cottage. It was the perfect setting, in a beautiful town in Kefalonia. We loved the yard and garden, we spent every meal eating outside. The home was very comfortable and had everything we needed and more- we especially loved the large bathroom and comfortable bed. Heike and Nikos were exceptional hosts. We also fell in love with some of the pets in the neighbourhood which were all very friendly. The cottage is centrally located; close to some of the best beaches and only a ten minute drive to Argostoli. We will 100% be staying here next time we come to Kefalonia as it’s a little dream.

*Auntie's Cottage With View, near Ag. Efimia*
We had a wonderful week with our 2 children at Auntie Cottage. The atmosphere is just amazing, it feels like home. The cottage is perfectly equipped, nothing is missing. We particularly appreciated the cleanliness of the place, the comfort of the house (bedrooms, kitchen equipment, air conditioning, 2 terraces, outdoor shower...). The house is bigger than in the photos, the space is great for a family. Sophia is a great host who gives you a lot of information to enjoy visiting the area. She is also very kind and flexible to make your life easier during your stay. A gem that will make your stay on the island even more wonderful!

Dandolo Apartment
Maria was a lovely host! She even brought us delicious sweets and gave us many local tips for our trip. We definitely felt at home in her airbnb. We loved the location being very accesible to most of the places in the island and how peaceful was the neighborhood.

Villa Zola with Views
We had a great time in this accommodation which is very well equipped, clean and located near the most beautiful beaches on the island. The host was super warm and responsive! We enjoyed the well-stocked welcome basket!
