Reviews of Property: VILLA NIMA - LUXURY VILLA WITH PRIVATE POOL & STUNNING VIEWS

We stayed at Villa Nima mid September and had a really wonderful holiday. The villa was as promised in the photos beautifully appointed and everything was of a high standard. The decor is very well thought out and suits the large and light rooms with stunning views from all balconies. The pool and pool area was a lovely place to sit with comfortable sun loungers and again great views. The villa is in a good location from which to explore the island, with nice beaches nearby and a short drive to the capital which offered great views, shopping and lots of choices for eating out at night. There are small shops a short walk away owned by locals who were very friendly and there were also good places to eat nearby. Kefalonia was a lovely island with stunning scenery, friendly people and great weather. The owners were helpful and pleasant for the booking and also during the stay and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a great place to stay for a comfortable and truly relaxing holiday.

I rented this villa with friends soon after construction in May 2009 and have to say the owners’ attention to detail is second to none – we all loved the place and wanted for nothing.

The villa has been built and decorated to an exceptional standard of workmanship, decor, and comfort – you will not be disappointed. The villa is situated on the edge of a small, quiet village (Vlachata) and has the most beautiful panoramic views down to the coast from the veranda, pool and garden areas.

I have travelled a fair bit and just don’t understand anyone going to the Caribbean (for instance) and staying in a 5 star prison for fear of safety – Kefalonia is great - you can wander round all times of day and night without any problems – the locals love the Brits and are very friendly – nothing is too much trouble. Kida are accepted everywhere.

There really is something in Kefalonia for everyone and all ages – the owner hooked me into some lovely traditional bars and tavernas to while away the warmest of evenings with a variety of entertainment if wanted. Even the youngsters were happy. I went fishing, walking in the national parks as well as the usual tourist stuff in Argostoli etc. If you just want to relax or partake of activities you will find them all here – my guess is you will drop out and just enjoy doing that. I bet you will seriously consider going back.

I really enjoyed my week in super 'Villa Nima'. Exellent accommodation, brilliant views, lots of places to eat within easy walking distance (I recommend La Mer). A lovely village and people are so freindly.
Listing of layout,location,facilities - accurate. Property was spotlessly clean. Great customer service from owner and I would and have recommended this property to others, without reservation. Every detail has been thought through to provide a smooth, harmonious and stress free time.
I hope to visit the Island again and do a tour of the Island.
Thank you so much to the owner - perfect holiday!

This villa was absolutely everything we could have hoped for. We wanted something away from the hustle of life to just completely chill out. The villa is lovely and tastefully put together. Very spacious and well equipped. Spotlessly clean with modern furnishings. The pool area is great, a nice size with plenty of loungers. The pool was always clean and regularly maintained by the Pool man early mornings.

Set on the hillside over looking the bay, to sit and watch the sun go down everynight was absolutely idylic. The view was amazing.

It is fairly isolated set in between two other villas, but we were not disturbed at all by either of this. It felt very private, and was incredibly quiet. The village was less than a five minute walk away with half a dozen or so reasonably priced good restaurants and supermarkets. The locals were all very helpful and friendly. The closest beach a five minute drive, but there are many beautiful beaches around the island well worth an explore. Myrtos beach being a must. The island is easy to get around by car.

Kefelonia is one of the prettiest Greek Islands and it seemed really quiet everywhere. If you want a get away from it all holiday you will be hard pressed to beat Villa NIma.

From the minute we booked, The owner was very helpful and seemed to genuinely care that the holiday went well. On the island the property manager was equally helpful dealing with a small air con problem quickly and efficiently. Thank you all for a great holiday.

Villa Nima is furnished to a high standard with everything needed for a great family holiday and it’s location on the hillside with Mount Aenos towering up on one side and the olive groves and the crystal clear blue waters of the Ionian sea spread out on the other is just perfect.
The ground floor open plan layout of the villa is great, the decoration very tasteful and the air conditioning very effective. The kitchen is very well fitted out with all mod cons, although with so many good restaurants around I am afraid we didn’t make best use of it. The three ensuite bedrooms are all spacious, the beds were comfortable and there is plenty of wardrobe space. The terrace off the two first floor bedrooms offers a great vantage point to watch the morning ferry leave for Zante or the sun go down over the ancient hilltop Crusader castle in the distance. Outside there are plenty of seating areas, ample poolside sunbeds and two giant parasols to provide welcome shade from the midday sun. When it all got too hot a dip in the pool soon cooled us down. The water was always refreshing but never cold even at 11 o’clock at night.
The villa is close to a good selection of family run tavernas, all serving excellent food, and a couple of well stocked supermarkets. The nearest of these are probably less than 500 metres away but they cannot be seen or heard from the villa so they do not disturb the peace and quiet.
In general we found Vlachata a good base for exploring all over the island. The pebbly beaches at Lourdas and Trapezaki are superb and not at all crowded even in August. If you want a beach of your own hire a self drive motor boat from Lourdas or Kateleios and take your pick. Further afield Assos is beautiful and Skala and Sami are both worth a visit and of course the world famous Myrtos beach is a must see, although that's one beach that is busy. Sadly we didn’t make it up to Fiskardo, apparently the prettiest town on the island, but again it is easily within reach had we had a few more days on the island.
We had a great holiday on Cephalonia. If you looking to stay on this beautiful island then we would have no hesitation in recommending Villa Nima as the place to stay. Thank you very much Hazel and Tony.
