Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cephalonia

We had an amazing week at the end of May, the pool and view are just incredible and even better than they look in the pictures. Having a local shop and restaurants within walking distance was a complete bonus too. Would recommend boho for breakfast, Trapazaki bar and restaurant for food or a few drinks and Gefri (we didn’t try any others close by). Lovely beaches are also within a 10 minute drive. The air con is also super effective if you’re worried about the heat.

Thank you Christina for an amazing restorative break! For all your kind gifts and thoughts and keeping it so very clean with lovely touches! Ionian Breeze is a quiet beautiful house in a lovely location! We had a wonderful time exploring all the local areas by foot and with a car ( much needed on this island to get full benefit) Christina recommended some amazing walks, we found some wonderful places en route- ate in some great restaurants- Extraterrestrial in Exogi (book in advance for evening and not for the faint hearted drive!) Nostimon in Frikes ( can walk to ) Calypso in Kioni (great service and food, very pretty little harbour) Delicious in Stavros ( great local food and very interesting historical village, better to go in car) Found a great beach on one of our walks Marmagas, it was a little bit of a hike from Frikes (or do the whole circuit from Ionian Breeze ) there is a cabin there and the most delivious food! To come back to Ionian Breeze was a bonus !! Thank you

The villa is located in a beautiful location and is so peaceful. It is a huge bonus to have the use of the hotels pool, spa and facilities next door. The views from the terraces are stunning. The villa is well equipped with everything you need - and if you enjoy birds, they are a big part of enjoying the terrace. There is a short, steep walk to a swim place - you can access the sea at thie point and it is beautiful water - but there is no actual beach within the immediate grounds. You really need a car. We went in lower season and relied on a car to get around and discover some of the local highlights. There are some great restaurants in Skala - but taxis are 10 euros (4 people) each way so thats 40 euros for a family of 5 to go 5 minutes drive down the road - if you dont fancy driving. Kefalonia is stunning and I would happily go back to stay at Panos' villa! Maybe not with teenagers next time though - it tends to be a little older in Skala - with a very chilled vibe. :-)

We had the most fantastic week in Kefalonia at this stunning villa. Spyrion was the best host we have had on AirBNB and went above and beyond to make our stay super easy and comfortable. The villa is very private, overlooking a beach and has beautiful sunsets. The villa had comfortable beds, plenty of towels, coffee and some unexpected nibbles on arrival. We would highly recommend and would love to return.

This was our second stay here and we knew what to expect. The changes made since our last stay were exceptional. A warm welcome, a responsive host who made every effort possible to ensure our stay was exceptional. Would highly recommend staying here

Absolutely amazing stay at Villa Blue! My family spent 2 fantastic weeks at this beautiful property & it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning panoramic view across the pool & the most amazing place to enjoy the beautiful sunrise & sunsets The villa itself was immaculate & thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need from kitchen essentials to pool towels, wifi & BBQ. The layout was spacious & comfortable, plus friendly cleaner every few days We all enjoyed the great pool Our hosts were fantastic, incredibly responsive & attentive, always just a message away & helped with local recommendations. Their hospitality was spot on. Meeting us on arrival to direct us to the villa was very helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better villa or base to explore Kefalonia. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway with incredible views I would highly recommend Villa Blue. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Efi & Makis

To say the experience at Gerasimos and Olga's place was fantastic would be an understatement. The apartment was lovely and the views were incredible. It was clean and well equipped. The orange and lemon groves were an extra treat. The hosts brought us fresh oranges, lemons and eggs and they responded quickly to all of our requests. The apartment is conveniently located -- only a 5 minute drive to the Argostoli ferry and walkable to the town. It was a wonderful experience and we would recommend it to all.

Very responsive host ,location was perfect for Myrtos beach and nearby amenities . Driving in this part of the island is also good, with reasonably good roads.

Lovely, clean and comfortable. Great location and fabulous view. Will definitely return one day!

Wow! This place is truly magical. Breathtaking views, a gorgeous pool terrace, spacious & comfortable interiors- All located in a beautiful village in the hills, conveniently located 10 mins drive from stunning beaches. Athina was so helpful with local knowledge & places to see, we had a superb time as a family of 8. She left a welcome pack of local fruit & veg aswell as honey, jam & wine, cheeses & butter. We felt so welcome and at home. There’s a mini market 5 mins walk away with all the basics & larger shops in small towns in 15 mins drive. Delicious & friendly restaurants & tavernas within 15 mins. The area is easy to drive around. Top 3 hot spots: Vouti beach/ Taverna, Assos & Fteri beach on the water taxi. My 10 year old loved feeding the village cats & seeing the goats walk past with their bells. Great places to swim, snorkel & jump off rocks - The water is the most turquoise I have ever seen! Forever memories made. This house, Kefalonia & Nifi has stolen our hearts.

We had a great stay! The grounds are fantastic. The house was clean and well equipped. You can drive to the town and beaches easily and there are several options close by.

I had a wonderful stay. Communication was perfect. I was greeted by a beautiful Dutch Shepherd and the cutest cats. When I walked into the accommodation there were snacks and a bottle of wine set up waiting for me. There were plenty of towels and beach towels. Shower caps, a sewing kit, body wash, face wash, etc. It was so thoughtful and kind. The garden was my favorite space to spend time, I watched the cats play, lizards run by, all kinds of beautiful birds. In the evening I was visited by an Owl. I can’t recommend this space enough! I had such a beautiful stay and hope to come back soon.

We loved our stay at the cottage. The silence is almost deafening only interrupted by nature & the sounds of goat bells. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need & more spacious than it appears in the photos. You definitely need a car for this location. Tasos is an excellent host, very quick to respond to any questions we had & extremely helpful. I would highly recommend him as a host at any of his properties.

Costas’ place was excellent, and we loved our stay in Kefalonia. Though we hired a car, we stayed, for the most part, around the Air BnB for five nights, and had a great time. There is plenty locally: bars, cafes (Cleios is especially good), restaurants and, of course, the beach. (A car will help you get to the beach in 3 minutes, rather than having to take the reasonably tiring walk back up the hill, so we’d recommend that.) Costas and Christina were brilliant hosts: attentive, flexible, and generous. One morning, Costas even sent us, delivered, a selection of Greek pastries. We couldn’t recommend it, and Kefalonia, enough!

Wonderful and peaceful place. It was clean and tidy. Zicos was very kind to us, leaving some welcoming fruit and helping with tips for beaches, villages and the necessary hot-spots to enjoy Ithaki. Sunrises and sunsets in the terrace looking at Cefalonia were overwhelming and made us stay at the place more than we thought. We’ll repeat for sure.

This house was amazing, very beautiful spot and Evita was extremely helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Dimitris was an amazing host, super welcoming and clearly takes pride in seeing his guests have the best time possible duringtheirstay. The wine and patisserie were really lovely and unexpected touches. The villa was perfect for us and the pool / terrace really makes Villa Zoi special. Kefalonia itself is a beautiful and unspoilt island and Villa Zoi was the ideal base to explore from. Thank you for a great family holiday.

We had a wonderul stay at this villa. The location is perfect with easy access to Fiskardo and all the lovely coves nearby and the pool was spotless and so refreshing. We really enjoyed the expansive outside space and the host was very responsive. As others have mentioned, the master bed was fairly hard (and we're not normally fussy), but otherwise the villa was so well equipped and had everything we needed. The beach toys they bought for our children, was a very kind touch.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay at the villa. Stefanos was a wonderfull, accommodating host. He greeted us at the villa to show us through and explain how everything works and provided recommendations for restaurants and site seeing. He also introduced us to taxi driver Makis, who was amazing. There are no walkable restaurants/cafes near the villa so I recommend hiring a car otherwise taxis are available. I can highly recommend staying at the villa and Stefanos is a great host who will ensure you have an enjoyable stay.

Nice place with friendly hosts (both Alex)! They agreed to let us stay later in the room on the day of the check-out!

The hosts were so lovely and helpful. They very kindly gave us a welcome hamper of food for our first morning and gave us early check-in and late check-out. They even gave us a hamper with nappies and some supplies for the baby which was so kind and thoughtful. The villa is beautiful, clean and is even nicer than the photos can show. We hired a car as there isn't a huge amount in the immediate area but it's so peaceful and it's really easy to get taxi's if you don't have a car. We will definitely book again on our next visit to Kefalonia. Thank you again x

We had a fantastic stay at Stella di Mare, the hosts are very welcoming and warm. It has a unique location with everything you could expect from a vacation housing. The only downside is that the road to get to the building is narrow and steep. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Beautiful villa in a beautiful location. Well equipped with all you need for your stay. Amazing space indoor and out. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa and will definitely try to get back next year. Thank you Nikos & Athinaida 😎

Amazing views Perfect rooms Nice restaurant Good people
