Villa Darymine, Kefalonia Greece

5 Star Perfect stay This was the best villa we have ever stayed in. The views are incredible, and it's in such a peaceful location but just a 20 minute walk or short taxi ride from the town. Everything is finished to a high quality and Michael & Daphne were incredibly helpful with information and organising trips and transfers. A fantastic holiday and I'm sure we'll be back. 7/5/2024 at 8:52 AM You responded on 7/6/2024 at 10:44 PM Thank you for your lovely review Joanne, it was a pleasure to host you and your family , so pleased you all enjoyed your holiday and relaxed.

5 Star A week in Villa Darymine A great week in Villa Darymine in July 2023. Communication with the hosts before and during the stay was excellent. The Villa is lovely and has everything you would want or need for a week away. Stunning views from the balconies and pool area. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend. 7/25/2023 at 4:25 PM You responded on 8/5/2023 at 5:38 PM Thank you for taking the time out to write a great review.

5 Star Villa Darymine bliss We had high expectations of the villa because it looked so fabulous on the Vrbo website when we booked. It did not disappoint. The accommodation size, configuration, presentation, facilities and cleanliness were just all round great; not to mention the fabulous expansive grounds and beautiful views and the lovely well maintained swimming pool. The hosts were super helpful both before and during our stay. We would thoroughly recommend this villa. 7/2/2023 at 4:44 PM You responded on 8/5/2023 at 5:35 PM Thank you for your wonderful review Nigel, it was a pleasure to host you and your family for Pam’s special birthday, so pleased you all enjoyed your holiday and hopefully you all made some lovely memories .

5 Star Family celebrations We enjoyed our stay at Villa Darymine very much. Throughout the villa & its grounds was absolutely gorgeous a credit to the owners-Michael & Daphne. The villa itself is spacious, well decorated & clearly accommodation of standard. We had incredible,uninterrupted views out to sea & across to Zante. Location of property about 20mins walk to Skala-a but of a trek but we knew that-Mounda beach a little closer & easier walk down-uphill all way back. Daphne was great help in organising shopping/transfers/boat trip/ restaurants & taxis when we were unable to do so ourselves. Thank you to Michael for coming to our rescue on the last day when we were let down by taxi. On our 1st day coffee machine didn’t work & hey presto following day a new machine arrives! Plenty of space to eat/sit outside tho with shutters down didn’t provide us with the much needed breeze! Didn’t make use of balconies,again too hot without some shade-pity as views were stunning. Pool enjoyed by everyone especially the grandchildren. Thank you both 7/12/2022 at 4:31 PM You responded on 6/25/2023 at 1:23 PM Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are pleased you and your family enjoyed your holiday and hope you have made some wonderful memories, especially the beautiful boat trip to Fiskardo we organised along with a discount. We tried our hardest to accommodate all your needs to the best of our ability, with regards to the walk into the town of Skala we have never had it called a ‘trek’ as on the way it is on a downward incline on a main road, unlike surrounding villas in Skala where you need to walk on unstable grounds. We would like to thank you so much for leaving the villa so clean and tidy we really appreciate this, hope to see you all again one day, best wishes Michael and Daphne

5 Star Fabulous villa We travelled as 2 families with 4 young children under 4. The villa was fabulous and so well set up with everything we could have needed. The outdoor area in particular is great with lots of different seating available and the pool area is lovely (with a fantastic view!). Daphne and Michael were on hand to answer any questions we had. We ventures into Skala for lunch and tried a couple of the local beaches (Kaminia beach was nice and sandy and great for small children). I'd also recommend Katelios for lunch - lots of great restaurants offering fresh fish. Overall we couldn't fault it and have some amazing memories! 6/20/2022 at 3:24 PM You responded on 6/21/2022 at 3:43 AM Thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to meet you all. We are so pleased you had such a fantastic holiday in our villa and made some wonderful memories together. Thank you for leaving the villa so clean and tidy and hopefully see you all again soon.

Reviewed 6 June 2022 Amazing Villa We have just got back from our holiday here, and what can we say was an amazing villa everything we wanted.

We definitely recommend a stay at the villa if you get a chance. Thanks again for having us all stay. Date of stay: May 2022

Beautiful Villa in stunning location 5/5 Stayed Aug 2019 David H. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Darymine. The House itself is outstanding, and was absolutely perfect for a family holiday on the beautiful island of Kefalonia. The Pool and the outside area is perfectly done and the views onto the beach the sea and the mountains are incredible. Skala is a nice town with a number of nice restaurants. We really enjoyed the Taverna on the local Beach and driving to Katelios which is a pretty village just up the coast from the Villa. Michael and Daphne could not be more helpful and certainly added to the enjoyment of our stay. Thanks and I’m sure one day we will be back. The Hayhow Family

Trail796672 Reviewed October 7, 2019 Amazing Villa With A Fantastic View Villa Darymine was amazing! Booking was easy with the owners who were extremely helpful. Instructions on how to get to the villa were very accurate. The owner met us at the home for check-in and walked us around, gave us all the information we needed and was happy to answer any questions we had. The home was immaculately clean with everything you need. Very comfortable beds and furniture with wifi available and Netflix on TV in the lounge. The pool was fantastic, comfortable outside furniture with an amazing view. What's not to like! Overall we had a fantastic time and would definitely book this beautiful villa again. Many thanks to the owners for their attention to detail. :0) Show less

Fabulous holiday at villa darymine 5/5 Stayed Sep 2019 Elizabeth B. From start to finish our holiday experience at Villa Darymine was absolutely fantastic. The villa was beautiful, spacious, spotlessly clean with a lovely pool and outside space. The owners couldn’t be more helpful, and went out of their way to ensure our stay went without a hitch - from arranging airport travel, a tour around the island, suggesting restaurants and even driving part of our group to and from the airport. We didn’t have car hire, but it really didn’t matter. I would thoroughly recommend this wonderful villa at the most beautiful location. Thanks for everthing

Fantastic villa 5/5 Stayed Sep 2019 Alida V. The villa was lovely, overlooking the sea and very close to the beach and the town of Skala with some nice shops and good tavernas. The villa was extremely well presented , very modern and clean, it has a wow factor when you walk in. It has everything you need for a fun relaxing holiday. The pool is lovely and there is plenty of space and loungers. There is also a nice outdoor bbq and a lovely covered eating area. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer villa and our hosts Michael and Daphne went out of their way to help us and organise birthday cakes, restaurants and trips for us. We will definitely be visiting again.

Superb 5/5 Stayed Jun 2019 Wendy K. We have just returned from a wonderful week at Villa Darymine . The house was perfect and we loved the pool and sea views .Our hosts Daphne & Michael were extremely helpful and made sure our holiday was an absolute success . We used the local taxis and found this to be the best way to go the short distance to Skala where there were plentiful restaurants , shops & supermarkets . The beach was also a short walk and our group loved the local taverna for lunch . We would all love to return to Kefalonia and Villa Darymine .

Skala Vacation Rental 5/5 Stayed Jul 2019 Anthi K. Pictures don’t do justice to this beautiful vacation house in Skala! Our family of 9 had a fabulous time. The home is meticulously clean, spacious and perfect for a family vacation. Every detail of this home was thought out and planned to make our vacation perfect. Check in was Flawless. Thank you Michael for making our Kefalonia stay perfect!

5/5 Stayed Jun 2019 John K. Just returned from our stay at Villa Darymine. The Villa is amazing inside and out. Everything you could want and more. As good as the photos are they don’t do it justice. The location is perfect just a 5 min taxi ride from the centre of Skala. Daphne and Michael could not have been more helpful from the minute we booked right through to the day we left for home. We will definitely be returning to this stunning property. We had an amazing time.

Exploration105149 Reviewed July 10, 2019 Fabulous Friends and I stayed in this beautiful villa with stunning sea views. Michael was a great host checking every couple of days that we were ok and giving advice. Fully equipped kitchen and house was so good we cooked and had dinner rather than go out. 10 min walk to beach and reasonably priced taxis to Skala. A fantastic place to celebrate my birthday and I really hope to be able to come again. Thanks again to Michael and Daphne. Show less Date of stay: June 2019

A taste of paradise in Kefalonia 5/5 Stayed May 2019 Lisa C. The property was decorated like a beautiful home, with lots of personal touches and was done to a very high standard. The outdoor space was amazing with a spotless pool, comfortable sun beds, and great outdoor furniture. The master bedroom was lovely with the plenty of storage (a problem we’ve had elsewhere) and all the beds were really comfortable. Best of all was the view, it was absolutely stunning, with everyone able to enjoy sea views from every room and balcony. Michael and Daphne were extremely welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Another lovely touch was the welcome basket. Villa Darymine is definitely somewhere we’ll return to.

Wonderful villa in good location with caring owners. 5/5 Stayed Sep 2018 Julie B.Harlow England Villa darymine really is the perfect place to stay. The Villa provides everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The owners Michael and Daphne cannot do enough for you. They have thought of every little thing you could ever want on holiday. The Villa is spotless and spacious and cool and I loved the fact that the pool and garden area are all on one level with the most amazing view. 10 minute walk to the beautiful Mounda beach with a few tavernas to enjoy lunch and a drink. The walk to Skala town is about 25 mins and along a road most of the way but taxis were only 5 or 6 Euro’s and well worth it. Skala provides you with all you need to enjoy your Greek holiday. Great Tavernas and not a bad meal to be had and we loved Sally’s cocktail bar! Nice little town with long beach and everyone so friendly. The great thing about this villa is that it’s a real luxurious escape with beaches and restaurants so easily accessible. I would thoroughly recommend it for a big family group like ours and if you don’t want to go out to eat then have a bbq, enjoy the evening air, view and lighting around the Villa!

Stunning villa 5/5 Stayed Aug 2018 Suzanne M. What an incredible time we had at Villa Darymine. It had everything we could have wanted - plenty of space, idyllic views, great location, incredible facilities, I could go on. The photos don’t do it justice, it has such a wow factor when you walk through the door. Best holiday ever.

Stunning property 5/5 Stayed Jun 2018 adele s. The owners Michael and Daphne, were very friendly and helpful from before arrival right through to the end of our holiday. The property was immaculate and finished to a high standard with a homely but modern feel, with a lovely pool, garden and stunning views. Villa darymine was perfect for the holiday we were looking for... quiet area but close enough to a town for dinner of an evening and within easy reach by car to explore towns, beaches and other sites of interest. Would definitely recommend and are hopeful to return in the future.
