Vacation rentals in Kountourata

lovely villa, lovely host....ask Kevy (host) lots of questions as she knows the island inside out and had lots of good recommendations

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.

We stayed at Laura’s as it suited our needs as my mother does not walk well so we needed downstairs bedrooms and a pool with steps leading into it, this house was exactly what we needed. Set in a beautiful part of Kefalonia you can watch the beautiful sunrise in the morning and enjoy the sun around the pool during the day. You do need a car to get to the house but it is very easy to get around the island from here and makes a great base from which to explore. You can walk to the small town where there is a lovely local bar and a mini market. The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Kostas was on hand to help with anything we needed during our stay and was so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for him, he kept us updated with everything we needed to know before and during our stay. We loved it here and would certainly recommend Laura’s place.

Very beautiful villa, perfect for our little family. The host was responsive and helpful. Will definitely visit again in the future!

The villa was wonderful with everything we could have wanted. We checked in really late after a late flight and was super easy to figure out. The pool is outstanding and one of the most peaceful stays we've had. The local area is beautiful (if a little hilly!). We walked to Spartia for drinks and dinner, as well as cooking in the villa. All in all a wonderful week and we'd highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing break but still being close to civilisation.

I wanted a quiet place with beaches in walking distance. Alice’s place was clean, quiet and spacious. Hosts were discreet and friendly and welcoming. Supermarket and good restaurant 10 mins walk. So it was easy to have breakfast on site. 40 mins through olive groves to Avithos beach above which is a great winery and a couple of tavernas. Made for a great relaxed introduction to Kefalonia. It’s only 15 mins from the airport too so it’s an easy place to start after late flight in. Would happily return.

My best friend and I enjoyed a lovely stay at Maria's villa. It is a very modern property with two large bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of living space, as well as outdoor furniture, and a beautiful pool. The beach is walkable but best to drive on a really hot day. To get to restaurants and to explore the rest of the island, a car is definitely needed. I also had to find the villa on Google Maps rather than following the AirBnB map directions as that led us to a road about 5 mins away. Highly recommend this place for 2-4 people looking for a peaceful (even with the cockerels next door) stay in Kefalonia!

We have just returned from our holiday and what a lovely experience we had. This was our fifth time in Kefalonia and I think the best accommodation of them all. Ideally placed to explore the island and only 15 mins from Argostoli where we spent a few evenings, which gave us a nice mix of quiet countryside and the gentle buzz of nightlife in the main town. The apartment was spacious and spotlessly clean with all the amenities we needed and it was cleaned every day and towels replenished. The view from the balcony was beautiful and we appreciated the use of the communal BBQ area, which we used several times, and the beautifully established garden with olive and lemon trees. Nic, the host, was welcoming and friendly, as were all the staff we met there, including Elsie, the gentle and friendly dog! We would definitely recommend to others and will most certainly be back again in the future! Thank you for a memorable stay.
