Reviews of Property: 'Featured in Greece Magazine' Luxury Villa with Breathtaking Sea Views

No words can describe the perfectness of this villa and its location on the island. John & Claire are the most perfect hosts you could wish for, they were quite happy to go above and beyond what you would expect from a host or villa owner. They are two truly genuine lovely people and we cannot thank them enough for helping make our stay just so perfect.

The villa was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and had everything you needed and more for your stay.Sitting on the balcony drinking a bottle of wine together watching the sunset over the sea was our highlight, we lost ourselves regularly in these perfect moments, the views from the villa are stunning, no photo can do them justice, trust us. The surrounding area was beautiful and the owners were quite happy to give us ideas for days out and things to see. Our favourites were, having dinner at a little restaurant called Preview overlooking Avythos Beach, exploring the incredible beaches the island has to offer, including Antisamos and Mirtos Beaches. Water sports on the island are readily available and pretty reasonably priced.

We would advise that you hired a vehicle for your stay, as most of the beaches and things to see are not within walking distance, driving round the island is pretty easy as most roads are so quiet and of reasonable quality.

I would totally recommend this property to people, we already have to all our friends and family and we hope to return in a group soon. We spent the first week of our honeymoon here, and it was perfect for a romantic hideaway, but it would also suit a family holiday or a group holiday as the villa really is big enough to accommodate six people comfortably.

We strongly urge you to seriously consider this property for your visit to Kefalonia, the island is enchanting and beautiful, this villa is just perfectly luxurious to help you enjoy your stay, and your hosts John and Claire would happily help make your visit the dream holiday I'm sure you want it to be.

Happy Holidaying!!

As a Greek born American who's travelled back to Greece many times since leaving in 1970, it took my American born wife to convince me to try something new for a change.
For the first time in our visits back, we went to a different place than where I was born.
Even though the photos of Villa Flora were very enticing on the website, they didn't do it justice when we saw it in person. Especially lit up in the late evening when we arrived.
I knew we made the right decision in our choice of accommodations when it even impressed my 18 year old daughter, which families with teenagers will attest is a nearly impossible task to achieve.
The place was spotless and very well appointed. Given the time of day, opening the refrigerator and finding the food and drinks (especially the beer) stocked by our hosts, helped complete our long and tiring journey from the states very well.
John had left the pool lights on that evening. A welcomed sight for my 15 year son, who proclaimed that we should stay in Kefallonia for our whole trip.
As everyone scattered to claim their own corners of the house, all came back with wide grins. The place was perfect, even for a jaded American.
John came by the next morning, as promised, to give us a lay of the land. Which we took full advantage of the first day. We drove to Argostoli and had a very nice lunch downtown. Luckily, Kefallonia is incredibly easy to navigate, so we did quite a bit of exploring by car.
As we returned, in the late afternoon, we all soon discovered how great the pool was. Until that day, I never realized that a refreshing swim in your own personal infinity pool should be mandatory in Greece. I'm sure those of you that have walked around in the mid-day sun will readily agree.
John and Claire briefly checked on us daily to insure all our needs were met, which was greatly appreciated. It took about a day and a half to discover all the little shops and small restaurants within minutes of the villa. Including a small grocery store that had the best peaches we had tasted in a very long time.
A very good friend of ours, originally from Kefallonia and also vacationing on the island, took us to around to all the beautiful beaches and attractions.
The best testimonial I can give for Villa Flora however, is how awed our Keffalonian friend was when she saw it. So much so that she suggested we all have our last meal there on the patio watching the sun set. She supplied the souvlakis!

When we arrived on the Saturday night, there were provisions waiting - much appreciated with our 4 grumpy children. We thought this was a lovely additional touch!
The villa was extremely clean and everything was in great condition. The kitchen was well stocked with every utensil and item we could possibly need - including a coffee machine! The whole place was very spacious and decorated in an elegant, but homely way. The views were fabulous and the villa was very near the airport without being at all noisy. We were well placed for many other places, particularly Argostoli (the main town). The pool was fantastic with a well kept garden and wonderful balconies (and fabulous views!)

The owners' communications were excellent, with prompt responses - we'd left everything until the last minute!
Stunning villa in a stunning location.
Highly recommended - You will not be disappointed.

Kefalonia is a beautiful island, with pretty beaches. We really liked the fact that it wasn't very 'touristy'.

What can I say, stayed in Villa Flora Sept 2008, the villa was far better than expectations, really clean, outstanding views blew us away and the decor was just stunning. The kitchen was equipped to a very high standard 'better than at home' there was nothing we wanted for. In terms of the location could not have been better. We will definately come again.

You will not be dissapointed!

Just returned from 2 weeks in Villa Flora - extremely well equipped and perfect view. Would recommend to friends although steep hill down would cause a problem to some - car can only make it up passenger-less but exercise helped work off some of the calories consumed.
Avithos beach is beautiful and walkable. Coast road to Assos recommended, stunning views but not for the feint hearted. Assos and Anti Sammos beach well worth a visit. Restuarants at Avithos both very good. Lovely Island, Lovely weather and Luxury accomodation - what more could you want?

The setting and the villa took our breath away, the photographs do not do it justice. Everything has been thougt of here and it is truly a home from home. We took our 8 month old baby and my parents and we all had a wonderful time. It was spotless and we put the outdoor bbq to very good use. The only downside was that I came home very envious wishing the villa was ours!!!!
