superb villa with private pool peaceful location
Dimitris was an amazing host, super welcoming and clearly takes pride in seeing his guests have the best time possible duringtheirstay. The wine and patisserie were really lovely and unexpected touches. The villa was perfect for us and the pool / terrace really makes Villa Zoi special. Kefalonia itself is a beautiful and unspoilt island and Villa Zoi was the ideal base to explore from. Thank you for a great family holiday.

Le Grand Bleu Villa
Wow. We highly recommend this villa! The best view in Lourdata overlooking Zakynthos and the stunning blue sea . Our hosts were amazing, recommending local services and always responsive to our questions . To make the trip even better we made a friend in a cat that was always there to say hello in the mornings. We would recommend you hire a car or get a taxi to most places as the region is very mountainous which only adds to its beauty! Other than that there was nothing to fault !! Hoping to return soon😁

200m to the beach | brand new 2024 | Villa Melina
What an amazing place!! Cannot wait to return…Kefalonia and the villa was amazing. The villa is even better than the pictures. Really clean, modern, private and relaxing. Great location for exploring the island. Pantelis provided lots of recommendations for places to eat and visit. The cleaner also provided a wonderful service and worked really hard keeping all four villas in pristine condition. There’s a lovely little beach 5 minutes walk from the villa. Argostoli capital is a 15 minute drive away and is a lovely place to visit, head down there early and see the fisherman feed the turtles. We fell in love with Kefalonia and the villa and would definitely return.

J&C Luxury Villa
Anna’s villa is amazing. It’s modern and spacious, with top of the line appliances, high end finishes, and everything you’d expect from a luxury villa. The outdoor space is also fantastic, with a refreshing plunge pool, outdoor shower, pizza oven, and a covered gathering space that’s perfect for outdoor meals or drinks. But what really makes the place special is the spectacular location - perched high above Assos with amazing views of the mountains and sea. Our group of four fell in love with this place, and we would come back in a heartbeat.

Villa Fortuna II_ Luxury villa with infinity pool
This is a magical villa with an amazing view. Super clean and modern accommodations. Perfect for 2 couples to coexist very comfortably. We spent our days exploring the incredible island but we always looked forward to getting back to the house to lounge in the pool. We walked to great restaurants and shopping in 10 minutes. The host is so friendly and responsive. I hope to go back again!

Villa Sensi
Thank you Spyros for an amazing holiday trip. Your are very helpful and nice. You have gone out of your way to help and accommodate for all our needs above and beyond what is expected from a host. You are a Super Host! Thank you again and we recommend everyone to enjoy the new Sensi Villa for its quality, privacy, amenities, distance from town, next door beach, swimming pool and the beautiful view of the bay! Just perfect!

Kroussos Cottage
We spent an amazing ten days at this lovely property. It took us by surprise on arrival, photos really don’t do it justice. The rear is nicely enclosed, and the front overlooks an olive grove. The garden around the property itself has an olive tree, several fruit trees, flowers and even a couple of tortoises. 🐢 Some local products were left in the kitchen for us when we arrived, always helpful! The area is not touristy at all, which we liked, but a car is essential if you want to explore the island properly. Good central location. There is on street park close by. Would definitely stay here again! 💙🇬🇷

Koukla Ionian Island Villa (Bottom Floor)
Beautiful location, house, and excellent service from Grace, will definitely be returning!

Terra View - Stone Villa
Great apartment with amazing views of the valley and sea from the terrace. Landlady Hermina was super friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfortable, Petani beach around the corner. There was nothing missing, some coffee was available on arrival. We were very satisfied, it was very quiet in early June, great for relaxing. We only used the kitchen sparingly, but it was well equipped. Everything was as described, we felt very comfortable.

Euphoria Traditional house
nice cozy place, nice welcome with homemade wine and olive oil👍 great terrace and view.

Octopus's Garden
Octopus Garden stands out as one of our all time favourite Airbnb locations! Ideal in every way! My son and I felt instantly at home! Agia Effimia is a tranquil, cozy village away from it all, yet Argostoli was an easy drive that we made several times to beauty spots on the other side of Kefalonia. The proximity to Sami was a massive plus, as there are tons of sights and lovely shopping. The house is spacious and had everything that one could possibly need. My son enjoyed having his own bedroom and bathroom. The wash machine was extremely handy. Thank you so much for leaving so many goodies for us. It was nice not to have to run out immediately for supplies and groceries. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, as the restaurants in town were amazing! Amalia and Cafe Fior D’amore were our go-to’s. I will miss doing my yoga on the terrace overlooking the bay and listening and to the morning song. We loved the sweet, black cat who always greeted us and shared our sun spots!

Anna Maria's, cozy studio in the heart of Fiscardo
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Anna Maria's apartment in Fiskardo. The apartment is clean and beautifully decorated. It is a very calming environment. This is the second time we have stayed here and would certainly come back again. It is simple but elegant and in a fantastic location for exploring Fiskardo. We met Anna Maria (who is lovely!) There are loads of cats in the square ❤️

FOS - The Artist's House - Ithaki
Lovely apartment, exactly like photos and description, that makes a great base while staying in Vathy. The upside down living arrangement makes full use of location allowing for a gorgeous patio area and great watching platform for all the yachts that moor right outside the apartment. As others have said you are on the main road which at the time of our visit wasn’t very busy, but had usual port side activities, it’s close to the centre and great for taxi pick ups. If you like being close to facilities and enjoy people watching it’s a perfect place to stay. We had a few minor maintenance issues we report, ie light in bathroom, which Christina responded to and sorted straight away without any inconvenience to us. Would highly recommend.

Cephalonian Countryside Villa - 5 min from Myrtos
Fantastic villa! It is immaculate, spacious and well equipped. It is in a quiet and peaceful location, but just a short walk from some good restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. The lovely Myrtos beach is just a few minutes drive, and perfect for exploring the centre and North of Kephalonia. Sophie and Ellie were the most amazing hosts, with help and advice, plus wine, treats and even a meal on arrival. Thoroughly recommended!

Maestra House
Super nice place with an amazing view of the Argostoli. Hosts were super friendly and helpful and have great recommendations. Would love to come back!

The Tree House
Alexandra‘s Treehouse was perfect! We were there for 15 days and absolutely Fell in love with Kefalonia, the food, the Sites, the people and of course our beautiful Little Nest in Spartia. If you stumble upon this Little Dream- Apartment, consider yourself Lucky. Alexandra did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We‘ll definitely stay here again!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zoe's Suite
Zoe’s Suite is perfect for a couple! It has everything you would need - fully equipped kitchen, secure parking, aircon, king size bed, luxurious shower room - and we had a very comfortable stay. Above all else, it has the most stunning sea views that we enjoyed looking out at all throughout the day, from the moment we woke up in bed to when we had our meals outside. The villa is situated in a great location, just a 10 minute drive from large supermarkets, the main town of Argostoli, and most importantly one of the best sandy beaches in Kefalonia (Makris Gialos)! The village of Lakithra is peaceful and quaint, with a few restaurants, a bar and a delicious pastry shop (Antonis) down the road that you have to try for traditional delicious pastries/cakes. All interactions with Clayde, Panagis and Nancy from HostingMe were great - prompt, friendly, accommodating! We really can’t recommend Zoe’s Suite enough, you’ll love your stay!

Flowers in the city - Elegant Home in Argostoli
Lovely house in perfect location (beach and Argostoli center within 5-10min walk) and amazing facilities - kitchen and bathroom amenities, jakuzi on the rooftop, even cards and little games to play in the evening. Very clean as well. Dennis was so kind and always available to help us :) 10/10 recommended

apartment with private pool in Villa Giovani
Really lovely stay, perfect size accommodation for 2 people, and a little plunge pool to enjoy in the mornings before heading out. Plus incredible views across the mountains! You would definitely need a car to get around down to the beach and restaurants. Dimitris is really helpful and has so many recommendations to send across and tell you all about. He kindly gave us pool towels in addition to regular house towels which was very useful during our stay. Would highly recommend staying.

Villa Cornelia by Ionian Sea Hospitality
Lovely holiday villa, well located on S coast, not far from airport. Well equipped and comfortable. Within walking distance of 2 beaches and tavernas. Local contact, Barbara, was responsive to our enquiries.

Galazio (overlooking the wonderful sea)
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was wonderful, and the view from the terrace during breakfast was absolutely gorgeous. We felt very welcome and would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Poros.

Unique View House
We had a great time with Stavros and Sofia. The place is beautiful. The views over the sea on the terrasse are stunning. It felt very private, nontheless Stavros was always close for any requests (for example, providing an umbrella for the beach). The apartment was very adequate and we spent great 9 nights here. There are great beaches nearby (although you need a car), and its a good base to explore the island. An absolute gem and we would fully recommend it to anyone!

Filippatos Apartments no.2
We had a great time in Akgonas. It was very peaceful with a lovely view over the sea. Panagis was a great host and helped us when we needed. The apartment has amazing beaches very close by.

Maritina's Apartments (A1) amazing sea view!
What a beautiful find! Amazing views from the patio, walkable to plenty of restaurants and shops, good parking, and a peaceful location. Property photos are captured well - added bonus that the patio has been divided between the two properties to create some privacy. Responsive and welcoming hosts. Thanks for having us!
