Θα ξαναπήγαινα!

Η τοποθεσία είναι πολύ ωραία και ήσυχη, ότι πρέπει για ξεκούραση και ύπνο το βράδυ. Το σπίτι τα είχε όλα και οι οικοδεσπότες διακριτικοί.

Fantastic central location.

We have had a fantastic stay, at a very well equiped, spotlessly clean, and modern villa The location allowed us to visit all that kefalonia has to offer. The hosts made us very welcome and looked after all of our needs, and pointed us to some very good local taverners, beaches, and places to visit. Very highly recommended.

A modern, clean and peaceful property.

This was a delightful property with beaches, supermarkets and a fantastic restaurant all within an easy drive. The property was well equipped with several outside places to sit along with a lovely view of a nearby castle. The hosts were fantastic and did everything possible to make our stay a real pleasure. We would definitely stay at this property again if we ever returned to Kephalonia.

GENTILEZZA

Casa molto carina e dotata di ogni confort! Posizione comoda per qualsiasi spostamento! Ma soprattutto la gentilezza e disponibilità dei proprietari (il nostro volo all’andata ha avuto un ritardo di 2 ore facendoci arrivare a mezzanotte a casa, mentre il giorno della partenza avevamo il traghetto per Zante alle 18 e la proprietaria ci ha lasciato usare la casa fino all’ultimo)!Un grazie speciale alla signora Alexandra!

A very impressive and well equipped house let by a charming family

Our 11 day stay at the property was delightful. Our hosts were most helpful and generous and made our stay all the more pleasant. The house is large and airy and very well equipped with all one might need. It is constructed and furnished to a very high standard, quite private and surpasses its description on the website. We would highly recommend this property and would certainly choose to stay here should we visit the island again Many thanks to Alexandra and George Kind regards John and Patricia

About the host

Hosted by Under the shadow of an Olive tree

Host profile image

They call me Giorgos and I am 48 years old. I'm a teacher. I play guitar and sing. I like to know people and suggest ideas (beaches, places to visit, food) to get the best out of Kefalonia.

Why they chose this property

The house offers a pleasant stay. Guests will stay in a room made with good aesthetics and taste. They will enjoy their cocktail in the cool garden under the shade of the olive tree. They will enjoy the nearby beaches, which are only 7-10 minutes away. They have the opportunity to visit many different places on the island because the house is located in the center of the island just 7 minutes from the capital, Argostoli. The house is also 10 minutes from the airport

What makes this property unique

beautiful house

cool garden

near the best beaches and Argostoli

very good price
