Best Place We've stayed in 20+ years of renting!

The booking process was very easy and extremely efficient, with very prompt replies to emails and the directions to the Villa were the clearest instructions I have ever had to follow. We were met on time and given a very warm welcome – the Villa was spotless and everything we needed to know was explained along with useful local advice about shops on a Sunday.
The Villa was clean, modern, spacious and well equipped with anything you could want from major things like the pool, the air conditioning and DVD player to small things like plenty of tea towels, dishcloths, clothes pegs, toilet rolls and waste bags, etc. So often when you arrive at a self catering property there are none of these. Everything is very well thought out. There is plenty of garden furniture, the garden itself is attractive and the night lighting good. We all loved the pool and the ‘pool man’ did an excellent job. We also enjoyed sitting out on one of the two front balconies in the evening. We used the barbeque a couple of times and it worked well. When we found that the toaster didn’t work properly and the ironing board was broken both items were replaced with brand new ones almost immediately.
The information pack provided by the owners along with information from their local representatives meant we could start relaxing and enjoying ourselves straight away. On other holidays it can take several days to work out where things are, how things work and where to look for the best beaches. We all enjoyed the different beaches for different reasons. Our overall favourite was probably Ammes or ‘the airport beach’ as we called it. The children enjoyed the bigger waves at Lourdas, I enjoyed the water and beauty of Antisamos and my husband liked Trapezaki and St. Thomas (over the headland). We enjoyed Assos, Sami and Antisamos, found the Melessani lake beautiful and liked going across to the Lixouri peninsula on the ferry from Argostoli. We particularly liked the beach at Varahani and had great fish at Taverna Remetzo there.
Our favourite things were the pool, the beaches, the fresh fish and the sunshine! We had a fantastic holiday and very much enjoyed Kefalonia. In more than 20 years of renting accommodation in Britain and Europe this was the best place we have stayed. We would definitely recommend it!
