The Kefalonians are so genuinely friendly and nice and the Greek cuisine and Tavernas are amazing! Would book this place gain in a heartbeat. Mike & Eileen were really helpful with great advice and recommendations for superb eateries and places to go and do. It's our second day being back home and we miss the place and the island already.Thank you Mike & Eileen for helping to make our holiday go off without a hitch.See you again next time!Shaun & Team

Perfect villa in fantastic location

Perfect villa for our party of 7 adults. Spotless, roomy, AC in bedrooms/lounge. Good size pool, BBQ, lovely views, all in a quiet location. Has all the white goods etc you need and Mike left us a welcome-arrival pack of goodies which was brilliant and well received. Lovely little Beach a short walk away (longer coming back!) and in the opposite direction 10 min walk to 2 tavernas one of which is Secret bar and is excellent. 3 good supermarkets 10 min drive away and airport is approx 15 minutes drive. Mike is a brilliant host, helpful and informative of the island, his comms are excellent. Very much looking forward to returning to Kefalonia, and would definitely return to this beautiful Villa. Thank you Mike for hosting us.

Everything about the villa was great. One of the cleanest we have stayed in. The pool was very well looked after and a joy to use. You do need a car. We were an easy 10 mins walk from the closest tucked away beach. A must visit. The sea was turquoise crystal clear all across the island. We couldn't get over how clean and tidy everywhere was. There are some fabulous restaurants 10, 15, 20 minutes away by car. All serving authentic Greek food. Lots of pretty villages near by to explore. I can't praise Mike and Eileen enough. Perfect hosts. They gave us some excellent advise of nearby events, restaurants and how the Greeks drive, particularly the peculiar rule on most, but not all, roundabouts! All our family made lasting happy memories. Thank you so very much. 100% recommend a stay in this villa and the beautiful surroundings.

Excellent stay, fantastic villa

Our party consisted of two family's, which the villa suited perfectly. Beautiful area, very private and peaceful. The village has a small shop with a cafe attached. There is a winery which serves meze, we didn’t try this as we had young kids who are fussy eaters. There is a great taverna, with the most beautiful views. Argostoli is only 15 mins by car and a must visit, so beautiful. The villa is beautiful, great layout. All needs catered for. Most of our time was spent outside in the beautiful pool and relaxing on the sun loungers. There’s lots of pool toys for the kids which was perfect. Great communication on the run up to the holiday, very responsive. A lovely welcome hamper which was great as we arrived fairly late and it meant we didn’t have to venture out to shops. Mike visited the next day, he messaged first. Mike is such a fantastic host, loads of great advice around places to eat and visit. All his recommendations were brilliant. You will need a car, Mike recommended a fab car hire, it was the easiest car hire we’ve ever used. Again great communication. If you have young kids a really good day out is the water park at Lixouri. You take the car ferry from Argostoli, which runs every 20 mins all day, every day. Very efficient and only takes around 15/20 mins to cross. The water park has 5 slides and a lovely pool area with plenty of sun beds. We didn’t eat at the park, we took a short stroll to the beach and ate at the taverna, which was lovely.

Villa Kallisto a true gem!

From start to finish our stay at this villa was just perfect. It is stunning and is positioned in such a lovely position within walking distance to a beautiful beach and lovely village tavernas. The views are breathtaking. Mike has made sure your stay at the villa is as comfortable as possible, with everything catered for. Was a great size for 6 adults with loads of room and to have two separate floors with kitchens in each was great for all to spread out. We made good use of the wonderful pool and bbq. This villa is the perfect sanctuary to return when visiting surrounding areas in Kefalonia or to just stay put. It definitely lives up to all expectations. Book it! You really will have a wonderful time here. We did and were all sad to leave. Thanks Mike, and for the car ride back to the airport for some of our party!

Fantastic, well equipped Villa on two levels- ideal for two families to share with independence. Beautiful quiet setting and gorgeous garden. BBQ and Pool were spot on (with plenty of sun beds!). Air conditioning was a godsend as were comfy beds. Enjoyed having a choice of areas to sit and eat or relax with a drink in the evening- fantastic view from balcony towards the sea and Zante. Owners Mike and Eileen very helpful during booking and again once we were there; leaving a beautiful full welcome baskets of treats and great recommendations for restaurants to visit and best supermarkets etc. Highly recommend and would love to return.

Fabulous accommodation, superbly equipped.

Peaceful, beautifully clean and very comfortable. I have never stayed somewhere where the kitchen was so well equipped. The welcome basket was amazingly generous and the stocked wine rack meant we could try local wine before buying which was great. Only a couple of negatives for us. We didn’t like the six cats that invaded us so we couldn’t keep any doors open. Not feeding them made no difference. While the walk down to the nearest cove was short, taking 18 mins, there are 118 steps down to it and it took much longer to walk back up the hill. We didn’t find anywhere to eat that was walkable open so car essential. It was particularly peaceful as the neighbouring villa was empty. If it had not been the proximity of others might have impinged.

The villa was very spacious and well equipped, idea for a party of 4 couples. The pool was a very good size and beautifully lit in the evening and there was more than enough outside space for everyone in a very pretty garden. The location was ideal for the south coast of the island with beaches, shops etc a short drive away. The host was very approachable, generous and full of helpful suggestions to make our stay perfect. We would certaintly look to return to this property on our next visit to kefalonia.

He gave us some great recommendations for days out and places to eat! He was available throughout our stay if we needed anything at all, nothing was too much trouble for him. The villa is so well equipped, it has everything anyone could need and more. (Including adapter plugs, beach towels etc). The villa is beautiful, with loads of room for the 7 of us that stayed. The pool is wonderful and there are enough inflatables for everyone to be happy! The area is stunning, I’ve never seen water so clear. We had such a wonderful holiday and the villa was the perfect base for us to explore the area and relax. If we return to Kefalonia this would be my number one place to stay. I would highly recommend Mike’s villa to anyone visiting the island. Perfect!

Perfect for a relaxing family holiday

We had a lovely, relaxing holiday at the end of August in Villa Kallisto. The villa itself is in great condition, it is full of modern fixtures and fittings with lots of furniture available. The location is beautiful and is not full of other tourists, it is a quaint little village which is exactly what we wanted. The views from the upstairs balcony are to die for, Mount Ainos on one side and views over the Zakynthos on the other! Prior to arrival Mike and Eileen were both excellent to deal with and were quick to respond to any queries we had, which there were a few! They also gave us some recommendations on restaurants (The Olive Lounge is stunning) and advised we should hire a car, which we did and would also recommend others to do. The little sandy cove at the bottom of the hill at Pessada was beautiful with crystal clear water and some great snorkelling round by the marina. The pool was a good size and well maintained, we had trouble getting the kids out of it! It was cleaned midweek during our stay too which was nice. We enjoyed using the BBQ area to eat on a couple of nights too. I could go on and on about what a lovely time we had but all in all if you are looking to book this villa, just do it, you won't regret it. Thanks Mike and Eileen for having us!

Weeks stay from 23rd -30th June

Lovely Villa which accommodated 4 couples easily. The 2 separate apartments were well equipped with everything you need. The linen was changed during the week , but one bedroom was missed with replacement bath towels and mat. We visited the Sunrise Taverna which is a 15 min walk down to where the daily ferry crosses to Zante . It’s a basic menu, but cooked fresh and very friendly staff. We also ate at the Olive Grove which was delicious. This taverna was near to the castle, about a 10 min drive. We had 2 cars to explore the island, and visited Asos (highly recommended) such a pretty village and then we went onto Fiskardo and ate by the sea front . There are a couple of supermarkets nearby for your provisions and Agristoli is a must for a visit to see the turtles feeding from the fisherman early morning, which is also where we brought some fish for our BBQ. Would definitely return .
