Kefalonia is amazingly unspoilt by the ravages of mass tourism and has wonderful coast lines and safe beaches with a relatively calm sea perfect for snorkelling or family fun. It is an island of contrasts with Mount Eanos in the centre with its forests, eagles and wild horses. The lush greenery is supported by underground water systems which have caves and lakes to explore. There are several wine factories that allow visits, the most famous being Robola. Wonderful honey, olives and grapes, citrus fruits, figs and pomegranates are grown. The port of Argostoli has visiting yachts and a main square with tavernas and coffee bars. Nightlife is low key with an abundance of tavernas, some with music and traditional greek dancing. Kaligata and Kourkoumelata are traditional villages in the South with pretty gardens adorned with sweet smelling flowers, jasmine and bourganvillea.There is a mini market and children's playground and interesting churches, close to Avythos blue flag beach.

A week well spent.

Gareth1984 Wellington, NZ
Review Submitted: October 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Spending a quiet week on a Greek Island was a dream finale to a whirlwind 5 week, non-stop traverse of the European continent. And what better location than that of Christine and John's Serene Villas on Kephalonia!! The 'customer service' provided by the ever-resourceful landlords was outstanding - from personal pick-up at the ferry terminal (a good 45 min ride from the villa!) in their spacious van, complete with plastic deck-chair as optional extra-seating, to providing us with every little detail we could need to get around the area easily without a car (our own choice!), including locations of the best gyros shops in the known world (MOST important). Although around 20-30min walks to the beach or nearest 'super-market', along roads, this was never an issue for us. It is highly recommended to hire a car, however, if desiring to wander farther afield or for prolonged stays. The unit itself was immaculate, nothing was left wanting. Ditto for the swimming pool (although the usual requirement to share your swimming experience with countless crickets, moths, butterflies and the odd lizard...). With more pets than you can safely shake a stick at (2 dogs, 4 cats, anything else hidden away?), this is also an animal lovers paradise - feel free even to join Chris on her daily morning dog walk! (and learn about the amazing wart healing properties of honey on the way! ;-)). All up, I could not recommend this place more to anyone looking for somewhere to relax, unwind and simply escape from the wider (uglier) world. Efkaristo, John and Chris.

Simply wonderful, couldn't fault it in any way

karen-blackheath London
Review Submitted: September 25, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
really can't say enough to praise the place and Chris and John.
We stayed there for 1 week in Sept 09 having spent a week in the north of the island which was also excellent.
The villa itself is spacious, well equiped and very clean.
Plus John and Chris themselves were very helpful and informative to any level you might require.
Location wise although quite rural was still close to all amentities you might need and there was a lovely beach with taverna within walking distance as well.
We toured most of the island and found the location to be excellent.
As some one else wrote in the visitors book-it would be great if you could take the villa with you wherever you went.
Would we go back- absolutely.

A glimpse of paradise

9 Styrians Austria
Review Submitted: September 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The serene villa is an absolute peaceful place, surrounded by olive groves. The apartments are very clean, tastefully furnished and calm. The owners where very friendly, picked us up at the airport, where helpful at all questions we had and gave us a generous welcome package. In the near of the villa there is a fantastic beach for plane-spotters - you can watch the planes landing directly over your heads... And our children liked to go for a walk with the owners and her 2 dogs. A perfect place for relaxing and getting to know Greece from its best side !!

PERFECT HOLIDAY

Rafas Reds Liverpool, England
Review Submitted: September 3, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This was our first time at Serene Villa and we hope it won't be our last! From the moment we set foot on the island til the moment we left, we couldn't fault anything. Our hosts were truly generous with their information, their friendliness and their willingness to help us. John picked us from the airport and took us back. He even dropped us at a local taverna on our first night and picked us up again!

The villa is beautiful - well furnished and an excellent welcome pack provided. You can tell the thought that has gone into making this a welcoming home from home. Fully air conditioned (blessing on some nights)

The island is lovely - the beaches are all blue flag and it shows. We split our time between the beaches and the pool although some days we couldn't tear ourselves away from the serenity of the villa

You must hire a car and John and Christine even recommended a local company that we used.

We enjoyed a very relaxing barbecue with our hosts - thank you for making us feel so welcome - John and Christine are there if you need them but they never intrude on you

We can honestly say this was the most relaxing holiday we have had - our 3 children had a ball and we came back to England feeling like new again!

When we read the reviews for the villa before making our booking, we wondered could it really be so good - believe us, it is!

Thank you John and Christine - love and best wishes from Allison, Ian, Erin, Anna and Beth xxx
