Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Vathy

We had a wonderful week in George's villa, starting with a warm welcome from his lovely mum who showed us around. We were then left in peace for the rest of the trip, although George always responded quickly when we sent him questions. The villa is even nicer than the pictures, great AC and plenty of towels. It is atop a hill, with no other villas or roads close by, so you're not overlooked and the view is breathtaking. We didn't hear traffic noise or even dogs barking at night, you feel tucked away in your own private space. The pool is perfect, and stays really clean thanks to the infinity design. The loungers are comfy with the grapevine shade. We used the outdoor BBQ and sat out on the terrace every day, though if you're eating outside you will attract some flies. The location is rural, so there were lots of bugs outside and occasionally inside - not a problem, but something to be aware of and bring insect repellent! There are screens on doors and windows to keep them out.

We had a very nice few days in our accommodation in Lefkada. The owner was very hospitable and took great care of us. His mother, an older woman, was also very sociable and nice. She even gave us some flowers. It would have been nice to know a little Greek :)

We had the most wonderful stay with our two children. The house is perfect with so many amenities. All the appliances are high quality and basically brand new! We had everything we needed and more. The pool and bbq area is fantastic. The views beautiful. Location is private but easy to get to other locations. We loved visiting Sami and the Melissani Cave’s not to be missed. The host went above and beyond, always responsive and kind. We highly recommend the house and have already told family and friends about it!

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!

I have stayed in many houses and met many hosts. But I can confidently say that Petros and Maria are best hosts I have ever met! Continuously trying to help their guests, all requests and questions are responded with a big smile, understanding, empathy and compassion. The moment we stepped inside the house they made us feel like we are part of their family. The house is based inside an olive tree farm and the land is shared with 3 more houses. There are lovely animals around, dogs and cats… We just loved it! Every time you come home you’ll have Malou (the cutest dog I’ve ever seen) cheering your arrival! The internet in the island is a bit slow but there is nothing that can be done. Petros even brought another router to help us! It is related with the island. I miss the farm already!

We had a very nice stay in this village. Its quite central on the island, so you can reach every place quite fast by car. Its very spacious and has everything you need for a vacation in Kefalonia.

The island of Cephalonia is worth the trip. Our stay at Lambros made the vacation a perfect travel experience. The actual and brilliant hostess on site is Maria, the mother of Lambros. She lives next door and receives and accompanies the guests with great warmth throughout the entire period of the stay. She spoiled us with cake and jam and provided us with fresh laundry and helpful tips. The kitchen is very well equipped and the large terrace overlooking the sea is the heart of the accommodation. On the upper floor are two small bedrooms with not quite as comfortable spring mattresses. The house is easily accessible by (rental) car and the village of Farsa, conveniently located not far from Argostoli, is a good starting point for excursions. In summary, a highly recommended place to stay that is worth visiting again. We really found it hard to say goodbye. Thanks Maria for your warmth❤️!

This house was amazing, very beautiful spot and Evita was extremely helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Villa Amoudia was perfect for our needs. The Villa was exactly as described in the photos and details, and the location was ideal; close to village, great views and peaceful. The host Barbara was very friendly and responsive. We are thinking of returning!

Alexandra and the team are wonderful, responsive and friendly. the space and the pool is clean and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed. the wifi was fast and the beds were so comfortable. well worth the price. karavamylos is a beautiful little town. can't recommend enough!

The hosts were so lovely and helpful. They very kindly gave us a welcome hamper of food for our first morning and gave us early check-in and late check-out. They even gave us a hamper with nappies and some supplies for the baby which was so kind and thoughtful. The villa is beautiful, clean and is even nicer than the photos can show. We hired a car as there isn't a huge amount in the immediate area but it's so peaceful and it's really easy to get taxi's if you don't have a car. We will definitely book again on our next visit to Kefalonia. Thank you again x

Wow! This place is truly magical. Breathtaking views, a gorgeous pool terrace, spacious & comfortable interiors- All located in a beautiful village in the hills, conveniently located 10 mins drive from stunning beaches. Athina was so helpful with local knowledge & places to see, we had a superb time as a family of 8. She left a welcome pack of local fruit & veg aswell as honey, jam & wine, cheeses & butter. We felt so welcome and at home. There’s a mini market 5 mins walk away with all the basics & larger shops in small towns in 15 mins drive. Delicious & friendly restaurants & tavernas within 15 mins. The area is easy to drive around. Top 3 hot spots: Vouti beach/ Taverna, Assos & Fteri beach on the water taxi. My 10 year old loved feeding the village cats & seeing the goats walk past with their bells. Great places to swim, snorkel & jump off rocks - The water is the most turquoise I have ever seen! Forever memories made. This house, Kefalonia & Nifi has stolen our hearts.

We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow, it was in a good location within walking distance of a supermarket and restaurants at Porto harbour. The house had everything we needed and the pool was a great addition as it was very hot! We hired a boat from George which was a fabulous day. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend.

Lovely villa with super patio space, and nice to be so close to a few restaurants in the village. We had a great time.

Wow! This villa is beautiful and perfect for our family of 8. Ben and Claire couldn't help us enough and responded to us quickly if needed. We were lucky enough to stay for 10 days, half of which were spent chilling at the villa, playing in the pool and using the amazing facilities . Although a rental car is helpful getting around the island, there is a lot of lovely restaurants, bars and beaches a short drive away. We explored around the island, including Fiskardo and Antisamos, which are breathtaking. Thank you for having us, we'd be back in1 a heart beat!

Heaven on earth! The location is quite breathtaking and the villa is perfectly positioned to be near enough to Spilla Port but remote to enjoy a peaceful holiday. We had a rib for most of our stay which I would thoroughly recommend as having the private beach and option for mooring made for a perfect holiday. The villa is in need of a bit of updating in places and could be better provisioned but this did not spoil our holiday in any way. The owners communicated really well and helped solve any issues that arose and we would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great place by the sea!

The house was super,the hostess even more!It is in a very nice location outside the village but at the same time close to downtown and the harbour.. There is a nice yard with a kindergarten,fruit trees and very kind pet animals.!The car was literally next to our door.. thank you Panayota for a wonderful break!We will come back to you again!

Maria welcomed me to the apartment. The apartment was spacious and had amazing views. Very comfortable. 5 minutes to the harbour.

We had a great stay with Penelope in beautiful Vathy. A short 10 min walk from the town centre and there is a restaurant directly across the street which is open early and late. Great views of the water from the outdoor eating area which is where you'll want to eat your meals. The front bedroom can be a little noisier at night as it is closest to the road, so the lighter sleepers should take one of the other rooms. WiFi did not work initially however Penelope was quick to get us a replacement device.

Makis and his family were such kind hosts who made us feel so at ease and welcomed for our stay! The idyllic cottage has everything you need to be comfortable and self-sufficient, with a wonderful patio space under the grape vines where we enjoyed sitting in the shade with our meals. The location is quiet with lots of birdsong and the friendly sounds of the chickens and geese from across the yard. If you choose to stay at this delightful Airbnb you will receive unmatched warmth and hospitality from a wonderful family on a marvellous island!

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.

Great stay at Polychronis' little apartment. Perfect for a family of 4. Very well placed to access Vathy on foot, with a coffee that serves to eat all day at the foot of the accommodation. Perfect!

We had great short stay of four nights. Vicky was waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs to find us. Is a bit of a climb so take it easy in the afternoon, but for that you get an amazing view and one of the quietest areas in Vathi while still only being a couple minutes walk to the shops and restaurants. House has been renovated excellently, nice large airy bedroom, useful kitchenette and a bathroom with a great shower. Lovely outside sitting area too.
