Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ionian Islands

This was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. The place is at least as good as the photos show. We loved the pool and the outside kitchen with a baking oven run with fire wood to make pizza and bread. The area is very quiet and the view on the surrounding hills very relaxing. Also, John is an extremely friendly and helpful host. We highly recommend the place!

Had an absolutely amazing time at Katerina’s flat, looked exactly like it did in the photos and always responded to any questions we had almost instantly. The place was absolutely lovely as well and in an amazing location. Would definitely recommend and 100% stay there again!

We loved olive tree house and the space it provided. The pool needed some treatment and wasn’t heated but that was ok for us. The hot tub was fabulous and the views are immense. Wi-Fi isn’t too wonderful and the aircon was noisy but on the whole the house is comfortable and spacious, and a real retreat! Thank you Ann!

Had an amazing time in Portaria at Katerina and Emilios's beautiful home. They were such gracious hosts, and made us feel welcome immediately. The view from the house is breathtaking - really one-of-a-kind. The house itself is extremely charming. The rooms were very comfortable, and the kitchen had so many small touches, like walnuts/fruits/milk that made us feel welcome. An incredible place to come back to after touring the Pelion region during the days. Highly recommend!

We spent a wonderful week at Urania’s Luxury Villas on Lefkada – two adults and three children – and were truly amazed from the very first moment. The location is incredibly peaceful, surrounded by nature, with a stunning view of the sea. A beautiful walk leads to a small private beach – a real highlight. The villa itself is a dream: tastefully furnished, perfectly equipped, and filled with loving attention to detail. You can truly feel the special energy of this place – calming, inspiring, and simply unique. Urania is an exceptional host. Always available, warm, and thoughtful – yet never intrusive. Our children had the joy of painting Easter eggs and baking crêpes with her – an unforgettable experience for all of us. We will definitely be back. Thank you for letting us experience this magical place!

We had the most wonderful stay with Andreas and his team. The villa was perfect for us and all of our needs, in particular our children’s, were catered for. The views of Lakka bay are spectacular, but it is worth noting if you wish to walk into town, the return journey is up a short but steep hill and isn’t ideal with a pushchair. We managed perfectly well on foot however with a 1 and 3 year old. Of particular note was the amazing breakfasts that were produced each day. There was always more than enough food available and it was freshly made by the team. Andreas was incredibly helpful in the run up and during our stay, a wonderful host. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay and we hope to be back soon.

Everything was wonderful. Very peaceful and relaxing home. So many outdoor living areas including the covered deck just off the kitchen, the sitting area around the fire pit and of course the swimming pool. At the end of the day there's nothing better than relaxing in the Spa with the sauna and jacuzzi. Bessy is a wonderful host. Very responsive and helpful with local recommendations. When you go to the town of Kipseli and they ask where you are staying as soon as you mention Villa Castellano they immediately smile and say "Bessy's place!" Mira is very kind and thoughtful and keeps everything running smoothly making sure the beds are made and fresh towels are always available. All in all a wonderful Airbnb experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing time on a Greek island!

This accommodation is recommended if you want to be privately close to the beach and explore the nightlife in the nearest Laganas Road (hotspot especially for young people to party). Ideal for four people, although there is only one bedroom with a door, the other double bed is available on the upper floor (attic with sea view, magnificent!). We were there in the off-season in mid-September, which was great! The large terrace is very pleasant, also the hot tub with various functions (massage jet etc.), a large bench and two sun loungers. The restaurant under the terrace plays music all day, but it was tasteful and not too loud (relaxed music). And important at high temperatures: the air conditioning in the house worked perfectly. Last but not least, Fotis' wife is very friendly, attentive and accommodating, she checked everything. Go for it, Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Staying here was a great time. Great communication!! Great suggestions on restraunts and places to go!!

Very good experience from our stay. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it.

Elisavets place is amazing. Right on the water and close to the town. Elisavet and her husband were great, fetching us from the ferry and always making sure we had what we needed. Very friendly and would absolutely return here.

We had a great stay at the studio. The host gave us very useful information for the region and answered always fast and very friendly. The location is good for some days near Kalamata.

A beautiful apartment in a quiet place in Sami. It has all the necessities and a nice balcony.

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.

Apartment in a Mediterranean- style villa, ground floor. Both the apartment and the surroundings are gorgeous and you have a great view. In the middle of an olive tree Forrest, very calm and quiet, 15 minutes walk to the city center (if you are up to climbing a small hill) or 5 minutes by car. Very beautiful design, kitchen fully equipped, mosquito net in windows, even beach towels were available. What made this stay even better was Tessy, our host. Incredibly kind, responsive and proactive, she welcomed us with an earlier check in, show us around, gave us recommendations in the island and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you for everything 💛

It was a quiet beautiful place outside of Kalamata but very close by car. Panayiotis was friendly and helpful in everything we needed and in general it is a place I would choose again.

We had an incredible stay at this stunning property! We were a group of 11, and the house could not have been more perfect for us. The space is designed with two spacious sitting areas on the main floor and another in the basement. This layout allowed the kids to play within eyesight while the adults relaxed in their own space—ideal for families like ours. The pool is large and beautiful, surrounded by meticulously maintained greenery. The entire property is gorgeous, with mountain views everywhere you look. We loved the privacy here. Yet, it was only a short drive to beautiful beaches and the charming town of Nafplio, which we explored and enjoyed. We stayed for six nights but could have easily stayed a month. The kitchen is fully equipped. The outdoor dining area and kitchen were a highlight. In short, this property exceeded all of our expectations. It's spacious and beautifully maintained, and the caretakers are lovely. We cannot wait to return. Thank you, John!

The place shown in the pictures was exactly how we expected, very clean and comfortable. The host, Dimitrios, helped us rent a car so we could move around which was very helpful exploring the island. I highly recommend this place for 2 families. It is close to the city center, supermarket and the beach!

Gerasimos was always very quick to respond to all our questions. Particularly our questions on local tavernas. He went out of his way to arrange food for our first night, he recommended a great driver and vehicles and supported us with transfer details. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. Fantastic views from the villa and amazing sunsets. Great play area in the semi basement for the family with their young children… only shame no windows but the description states that. Kitchen area was a little small but we managed it. We had a fabulous week with the family… and would definitely return!!

Excellent, comfy villa with an amazing view. We really enjoyed our week; the villa is spacious and comfortable, with a large comfy bed, good sized bathroom with a powerful shower, and comfy sitting room/kitchen area. The terrace (with pool) is exceptional, with an amazing expansive view across the bay in front of Vasiliki. Plenty of room for lounging in the sun, and sundowner workouts. The villa was very clean and tidy. The kitchen was equipped to do us a couple of evening meals when we didn’t fancy going out. Great location for exploring Lefkada island; plenty of the best beaches on the island within an easy 15-30 minute drive. Also an easy 5 minute drive into Vasiliki itself, which has plenty of restaurants and two supermarkets. The host Therodorus and George were very helpful and courteous. Note a car is essential, as it’s a fairly steep 10-15 minute walk into town. Tip for drivers: steep drive in first gear up to the house. Overall: highly recommended!

We had a lovely 7 day stay at Skala cottage which was perfect for me, my wife and our 18 month old son. Panos left us a wonderful welcome package with all the essentials and more. It is very short walk to the pedestrian area of Skala village. The weather was lovely and our son enjoyed playing in the pool. There is a local playground nearby also. Panos arranged for Desi to attend half way through our stay and clean the cottage - this was well communicated and much appreciated. Panos also arranged our transfers to and from the airport by the amazingly helpful and friendly Christopher. He showed us all of Skala on arrival and said if we needed anything to let him know. Later in the week we arranged for Christopher to take us and pick us up from the capital Argostoli which is about a 50 minute drive from Skala - it was easy to arrange and Christopher was super reliable. Overall the cottage was amazing and perfect for our family. Thank you!

From start to finish of our holiday Elaine and George were perfect hosts , nothing was too much trouble for them . The villa was perfect and the pool was so inviting after a long day out we even decided some days just to stay by the pool and cook on their great barbecue. Both of them made us so welcome . The villa is a great location to see all of the island and so peaceful.

We had a fantastic stay. Spyros was so helpful and responsive. The property was clean and as described. We stayed out of season but there were a few tavernas open which we could walk to (Babbis taverna around 20 minutes walk was fantastic). The property was 5 minutes from the beautiful beach. There were a couple of things that came up that I had to contact Spyros about and he came back to me immediately sorting anything within 10 minutes. We felt so at home at the property and would loved to have stayed longer. We will definitely be back.

Very comfortable and cozy place, the same as it was described
