The Perfect Retreat
Review Submitted: November 20, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
We have been regular visitors to Katelios for many years and think we have finally found the perfect retreat for us.The villa had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay with a home from home feel .
The villa was very clean and well looked after by the maintenance staff and the welcome pack a good starter.Paul and Lynn were easy to contact and found that they were very helpful and booking was made very easy We would definately recommend this property to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday in quiet comfort.The restaurants we visited are Lighthouse, Blue Seas, Dreams and Persas Taverna as these are locally owned. We would like to add that a car is essential to appreciated this beautiful island. We hope to return to Villa Noel soon.

Villa Noel - Katelios
Review Submitted: October 20, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
We had the pleasure of staying in Villa Noel in August this year and we had a fantastic time.
The description of the villa is very accurate and it is furnished to a very high standard, its very much home from home all the comforts.
Lynn and Paul were very helpful and the welcome pack is an excellent idea.
A hire car is essential for the location of the villa but also allows you the benefit to explore this beautiful island. Katelios is a sleepy resort and ideal for fresh fish and Greek Cuisine. There is also a large choice of good quality restaurants in Skala. The beaches at Mouda and Kaminia are just wonderful.
Our favourite Greek Island by far we will be going back there.

A Most Enjoyable Holiday
Review Submitted: August 9, 2009

We are a family of 5 who stayed at Villa Noel in June 2009. The Villa is ideally situated with a mountain back drop and clear views over to Zante. The quiet location was perfect for us to spend many an hour by the pool. The Welcome Pack was greatly appreciated as we did not have to rush out to the shops as soon as we arrived. The Villa itself was beautifully presented with all the home comforts. Lynn and Paul have been very helpful and informative, as were the Property Management Team. We would definately recommend this Villa to anyone wishing to visit Kefalonia. We have visited other Greek Islands in the past but this was our first time to Kefalonia. We have had a lovely time seeing the Island and eaten in some great tavernas but it was nice to come back to such a fabulous villa. We look forward to staying here again in the future. Neil and Mandy and boys. (aged 7 & 10).

We visited Villa Noel in May '09. The information and photos on the webiste are accurate, if anything they underestimate the pristine, comfortable and well serviced accommodation.
The welcome pack on arrival was very much appreciated and there was no need to rush out to the shops for anything on arrival.
Whilst we did hire a car, the pool, the quality of the villa and superb views from the terrace meant that we preferred to spend most of our time relaxing and enjoying the villa.
Lynn and Paul provide excellent customer service and we would highly recommend the property. We are both hoping to return again soon!

Review Submitted: November 14, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
We had the pleasure of being the first renters in Villa Noel.We are a family of 5 (children age 11 ,10 and 6 ) and it was our first visit to Kefallonia--we loved it !!!!
The villa was ideal --very clean and well appointed -great view from the pool,Katelios was quite sleepy ( a bit far to walk to in nearly 40 deg )-- but has really nice good value restaurants---though they all serve much the same --- lots of fish and traditional Greek food.
As it was very hot we had lots of sleepy days by the pool -- had a few visits to Argostoli ( about 1/2 hr in car ) and great trip on glass-bottom boat--definately recommended---good food and drink and saw dolphins !!!!!
Had some slight problems with villa ( basically teething problems)--but were quickly sorted out and we were well looked after by Keith,Jane and Nigel
All-in-all we loved it !----would just add a car is a must----shops are all a bit of a walk away and bars /restaurants about 1 1/2 miles down track with no lighting

A Greek Idyll!

Jen and I have just returned from a fantastic first visit to Greece. Everything about our trip was 100% enjoyable and memorable. From our first contact with Lynn and Paul to our return home we had a totally positive experience. The villa is superb and Keith, Jane and Nigel were lovely people to have at hand if anything went wrong - it DIDN'T! Also it was also a real home from home when the visiting white cat took us under her wing and adopted us for the week. What we saw of the island is stunning but the area around Katelios itself was enough to keep our interest in beautiful October weather. An unexpected late season 20% discount at Captain Jerry's Fish Taverna enabled us to eat out evey night- another bonus!. We are already looking forward to another visit - it won't come soon enough.

We have recently returned from a fantastic holiday staying at Villa Noel. We cannot recommend it enough. The villa is in a beautiful location with a backdrop of rugged moutains and a view out to sea and the neighbouring island of Zante. It is just a few minutes drive into Katelios, a lovely village with lots of restaurants and a few bars for an early evening drink.
The villa itself is a 'home from home' with everything you could possibly wish for. The pool and terrace area are stunning and as a result we are booking again for next year so that we actually see some of the island - we just couldn't drag ourselves away from the beautiful relaxing villa!!
Thanks to Paul and Lynn and we can't wait to go back.
PS. This villa is perfect for families, however, we are a couple and had the perfect romantic getaway.

Review Submitted: September 4, 2008

We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 9 and 11) and have just returned from a fantastic holiday staying at Villa Noel.
The instructions to the villa were very clear and on arrival we found a welcome pack of essentials such as cereal, milk, jam, bread, beer, wine, etc....! The villa was very clean and the pictures on the web site truly reflect the lovely decor throughout. Facilities were excellent- all the mod cons you will need and clean towels and bedding in ample supply.
Pool nice size for the family but the local beaches were so good we divided our time between beach and pool. Best time of the day was swimming in the pool just as the sun went down behind the mountain- fantastic! Garden maintained well and bbq was huge!!
Villa Noel is situated in a lovely spot behind the original old village- 5 mins from the sea by car. Great views (you can see the sea from the terrace by the pool) and nice quiet location.
We hired a car for the 2 weeks which gave us a proper opportunity to explore the surrounding area and helped with the shopping!
All in all we would definately recommend this Villa and found the owners to be reliable and informative.

A Fabulous Week!
Review Submitted: August 23, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
We have recently returned from a fabulous week in Villa Noel. The villa is very well equipped and comfortable. As a family of four it had everything we needed, but it would equally suit a party of adults. The terrace is a great place to sit and contemplate the next day. The pool is just the right size and very warm. The position of the villa is ideal, on the outskirts of Katelios, which is an unspoilt Kefalonian village. Nearby are some excellent beaches and snorkelling. I would really recommend Villa Noel for a relaxing and enjoyable family break. The owners have been very helpful too.

Review Submitted: August 8, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
Our extended family, 5 adults and 2 children, just spent 2 weeks at Villa Noel and were very pleased with our entire stay. The villa is located in a quiet area, but very close to the small village of Katelios with its restaurants, mini-markets and beaches, and very close (10 minutes by car) from the very nice, sandy and shallow Mounda beach (where the turtles nest). Based on conversations with the locals, the beaches in the Katelios area are shallow and sandy, as compared to the more rocky and faster dropoffs found on the beaches farther North on the island. This being very important for anyone with children.
It was such a pleasure to be able to sit on the covered terrace every morning, enjoying a cup of tea, while listening to the sheeps bells in the distance as their shepherd moved them. The terrace was also the last place we sat every night, watching the moon rise......we saw quite a few falling stars from our vantage point.
The villa was very comfortable for our large party, the number and size of the bathrooms is just right. The kitchen is very roomy and conducive to fixing family meals....which we did quite often.
The pool is very inviting and there are more than enough chairs and loungers to accomodate anyone's needs.
All of our (minor) problems were handled quickly and correctly by the property management team and the owners were very helpful during the entire process.
The villa is perfectly located for exploring the entire island, but a car is required.
We would highly recommend this property to our friends and family.
