Villa with a view

Lovely villa with views. Really relaxing, immediately felt like home. Pool great and aircon in rooms and living area helpful when temperatures peaked. Eleni was great and provided us with a good range of food on arrival. It was just a 10 min drive down to Agia Effima and great location for exploring the rest of the island. But the best thing was sitting out on balcony with a glass of wine enjoying the views. coming to clean mid brea

Wonderful viila & pool- Highly recommended.

We spent 2 fantastic weeks in this beautiful villa. The villa was spotless, well maintained & just as descibed on the website. Eleni the owner could not do enough for us. She brought home made wine, fruit & other treats when she came to clean & even bought us a gift when we left! The location means that you need a car, but it's only a few mins by csr to the village centre. It's our 9th year in Agia Efimia & this lovely villa & pool will definitely be home to us again!

Wonderful host

I would definitely recommend this property and location. Eleni was a wonderful host, she had everything ready for us, including some very helpful provisions. When our flight was delayed by 3 days, Eleni bent over backwards to accommodate us and provided an alternative property for us to stay when our original booking had expired. The next property was also very beautiful and super comfortable. The area is tranquil and a great base to explore the north of the island. Agia Efimia is a lovely town with a delicious bakery and quiet little beaches. The local taverna is well worth a visit or two! A very enjoyable holiday, thank you so much!!

Wonderful break

A very comfortable villa with everything we needed.Eleni left us a lovely welcome pack which meant we didn't need to go shopping immediately. She was very welcoming and also answered any questions we had promptly whilst we were there. The villa was very clean and although in a small village it was very easy to get to places to eat and explore. You do,however need a hired car to get around. We visited many places but also spent time by the pool. The 3 terraces around the villa means you have many choices to sit out and enjoy the views. We had never been to Kefalonia before and very much hope to come again abd would definitely choose the same place.

Villa Avisania is een heerlijke plek om te verblijven. Wij waren er met onze 2 volwassen kinderen die het ook erg naar de zin hebben gehad. Veel verschillende plekken in of uit de zon om te kunnen zitten, het heerlijke zwembad en alle kamers met airco. Ook fijn dat de auto achter de poort geparkeerd kon worden. Verder is de plek waar de villa staat ideaal om het eiland te verkennen.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted that you and your adult children enjoyed your stay at Villa Avisania. The many sunny and shaded seating areas, the refreshing pool, the fully air‑conditioned rooms and the secure parking behind the gate are indeed features our guests appreciate most. We’re also glad the villa’s location made it easy for you to explore the island. Warm regards from Kefalonia.

Perfect holiday for a small family

We had a fabulous stay at Villa Avvisania and can't recommend it enough. The villa is charming, comfortable and kept spotless throughout (we were pleased to learn that regular cleaning is provided which we didn't expect). Eleni provided such a warm welcome and totally spoiled us throughout our stay, leaving basic food supplies (and plenty of wine!) on our arrival so we didn't need to worry about anything. The pool is a great size and set in beautiful outdoor space. As we were travelling with a toddler, we were pleased to learn that the pool is elevated above ground level and accessed via steps which felt really nice and safe. The village of Makriotika is beautiful, peaceful and welcoming: set into the hillside you get stunning views down to the sea at Agia Effimia. Particularly lovely is the view from the taverna and kaphenion, both of which provide delicious good-value local food. Makriotika welcomed us with open arms and by the time we left it felt like everyone had made friends with our little girl! Thank you so much Eleni for a perfect first family holiday - we will never forget it.

Really lovely villa with great facilities.

we were very pleased with the booking process and efficient communications and directions to the property. we were welcomed on arrival and met Eleni. The villa is well positioned in a small village about 3 kilometers outside Agia Efimia. The villa is well maintained and has all of the necessary equipment for a holiday stay. we were given a welcome pack to get us started and throughout our 10 day visit we were given very nice gifts from Eleni such as her husbands home made wine, sweets etc. she was a great host who was very friendly and kept the place immaculately clean. We loved sitting out at night hearing the call of the owls in the distance. We had visits from some wild peacocks (very odd sounding call!) and the local cats. The location of this villa is perfect for travelling around the island as it is quite centrally located so you can easily travel to the main attractions. It is particularly close to the famous turquoise seas of Myrtos beach which is simply beautiful. Other highlights would be Assos (Stunningly Beautiful) and Fiscardo which can be easily visited within around 30 and 45mins respectively. Make sure you add in a visit to Argostoli to see the Loggerhead Turtles that swim along the edge of the quay where the fishing boats are selling their daily catch. The pool is a good size and enjoys the sun all day into early evening. there are a couple of terraces that offer shade when wanting to seek some shelter when its too hot. We would certainly recommend this villa and would return if coming back to Kefalonia.

Erg fijne woning

We hebben genoten van ons verblijf. De woning is erg gezellig en het is een fijn zwembad. De locatie is ideaal met op een paar kilometer afstand Agia Efimia; een kleine haven waar wel alles te krijgen is en met een erg goed restaurant (Sea Rock). De Yellow Boats zijn zeer de moeite waard, vooral om te snorkelen op lege strandjes. Erg leuke duikcursus.

Best Villa Experience to Date!

Eleni was a fantastic host, kind enough to supply us with fresh eggs and her husbands home made wine, and even a leaving present for us. The villa has everything you need with the most stunning views and very close to all your holiday needs, local food shopping, butchers and restaurants only a 5 min drive away. We enjoyed a BBQ most evenings which was 👍..... we will be back 💋

A lovely villa and surroundings.

The villa was ideal for us. Although there were a number of steps, they were easily manageable. Facilities within the villa provided all that we required and to a high standard for a short or long stay. Regular visits from the owner were very welcome and her gifts of wine, eggs etc were very generous. The location was beautiful overlooking the valley leading down to Agia Effimia and the three open sides gave lovely views of the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to return in the future.

Fantastic villa in a nice peacefull location. Exceptionally clean and beautiful maintained. Owner was very very helpful and extremely kind leaving us lot's of nice little gifts e.g. fresh eggs and salad. All theses little touches made our holiday very enjoyable. Very close by car or taxi to some beautiful restaurants. Would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a mixture of peace and quiet but with the opportunity to dip in and out on nightlife. Will definitely be back someday.please dont miss out. One thing to bear in mind you definitely need a car in this location.

Above expectation!

We had a wonderful two week stay in Villa Avisania. The villa provides you with every comfort one can imagine. It is in a quiet unspoiled location. The wonderful village of Agia Efimia though is near. There are splendid restaurants and the village is very pretty. The house really feels like home. It is cosy, comfortable and the swimming pool is just wonderful and very private. It is centrally located on the island, so we enjoyed touring the beautiful Island of Keffalonia. The house is very well maintained and we even found regular supply of fresh eggs in the fridge. Eleni, thank you very much for you kindness! We had the most amazing vacation in this splendid spot and we would love to return to it! We recommend it for people you look for a peaceful surrounding and yet close to all the ameneties you want.
