An absolute gem! What a stunning place to stay, a great house in calm environment. Totally loved it. Communication with Alan was top and we had everything we needed ready from the start. Kept every promise. Can't say more then - I strongly recommend! Will certainly turn back, the sooner the better.
Giles
We had the most fantastic time at this fabulous villa! All details were thought of for our comfort and it has exceeded all expectations. Alan and Bren were very helpful with advice on places to visit and extremely quick to respond to any queries. We would love to come back again!

This is without doubt, one of the most beautiful homes, I've had the pleasure to stay in.
The pictures don't do it justice, the view really was spectacular. (It is just like the pictures only better!)
The areas you drive through are crazy, it's like stepping back in time through the towns and the vehicles you see parked up are something from the 80/90's, or even before, some of the roads are on the edge of a cliff, it's fabulous and terrifying at the same time. Everywhere we went the people were so friendly.
I had no idea what to expect of Kefalonia, but I know we will be back.
The villa is very well equipped with everything you could need, the pool is heated by the sun and so is warmer in the afternoon.
Can't wait to book again!

The Villa is in a really lovely location with superb views all around. There are no near neighbours and so it is beautifully tranquil. From the pool area you look out over a seascape that cannot have changed for centuries - several miles of shimmering sea with the cliffs of Zakynthos appearing through the haze in the background. The only noise not self-generated is the 'kee kee' of buzzards riding the thermals as they quarter their hunting territory or the twitter of a group of 20 Swallows that several times a day perform aerobatics as they drink from the Villa's pool. The villa was well-equipped and very comfortable with a wi-fi that enabled us to work on our laptops and download films. Superb location from which to explore the island and to spend some lazy days re-charging the batteries. The Villa's friendly owners always responded to any queries we had within minutes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best villa from the island! And I don't exagerate. Rooms were clean, the view is breathtaking and all of the furniture and electricals are new. Also, Alan is the best host! Always respond within 5-30 minutes. Gave us everything that we needed ( information about the island, were we can eat the best local food, direction to the villa, etc etc) We are seriously considering to return the next summer with our big family. https://business.google.com/reviews/l/16729325229874474148
What a fantastic place to stay! Home away from home with regards to how well equipped the villa is. The view is mesmerising and we couldn’t bare to tear ourselves away. Loved the proximity to Katelios for the tavernas and a little bit of life but the peacefulness of the villa itself is second to none. Can’t recommend highly enough!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cracking villa https://business.google.com/reviews/l/16729325229874474148
It’s beautiful here has everything you could desire including outstanding shower pressure! Such peace and tranquillity too you cannot fail to relax and rejuvenate here Spacious rooms, Thoughtful amenities.
It's the perfect location for a group of 6-8 persons . The villa it's very practical and you will don't need a thing. You have absolutely everything there. From a dishwasher to a jacuzzi and bathroom in every room. The host it's a very nice person who helped us with a lot of insight of the island and some cold white wine in the fridge when we arrived 😁
Absolutely the best place you can stay in Kefalonia!
Great position with fantastic view. Beautifully appointed house with 3 bedrooms and a separate guest house. Very comfortable and easy to live outside most of the time, with an infinity pool. Short drive to Kateleios with range of restaurants on the beach. And one good grill house, Elias, 10-12 minutes walk. We had a great time with our two daughters and their husband/partners - plenty of space for three couples without any feeling cramped. Cannot praise more highly.
