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!

Die Unterkunft war wirklich super. Wir würden sogar sagen noch besser als auf den Bildern, wir waren begeistert. Die lokale Managerin hat uns zu dem Haus gebracht, was ziemlich ab vom Schuss an dem Küstenberghang ca. 30 Minuten von Kalamata weg zu finden war. Der Ausblick war atemberaubend, vor allem bei Sonnenuntergang. Auch die beiden Pools waren sehr schön, Abends ist dann vor allem der Whirlpool viel genutzt worden. Die Zimmer waren alle Top. Manche hatten ein Queen-Size-Bett, manche waren ein Doppelbett mit einer kleinen Abtrennung in der Mitte. Außerdem hatte jedes Zimmer ein eigenes Bad und einen eigenen Balkon bzw Balkonzugang.

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!

Diese Unterkunft ist insofern zu empfehlen, wenn man privat nahe am Strand sein und in der nächstgelegenen Laganas Road das Nachtleben erforschen möchte (-Hotspot besonders für junge Menschen zum Feiern). Ideal für vier Personen, wobei es nur ein Schlafzimmer mit Tür gibt, das andere Doppelbett steht im oberen Stock frei (Mansarde mit Meerblick, herrlich!). Wir waren in der Nachsaison Mitte September dort, das war super! Die große Terrasse ist sehr angenehm, auch der Whirlpool mit diversen Funktionen (Massagestrahl etc.), eine große Sitzbank und zwei Sonnenliegen. Das unter der Terrasse befindliche Restaurant spielt zwar den ganzen Tag Musik, diese war jedoch geschmackvoll und nicht zu laut (relaxed music). Und wichtig bei hohen Temperaturen: die Klimaanlagen im Haus funktionierten einwandfrei. Last but not least, Fotis‘ Frau ist sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und entgegenkommend, sie hat alles gecheckt. Go for it, Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Die Gastgeber sind einfach super freundlich, immer erreichbar und vor allen Dingen hilfsbereiten allen Angelegenheiten. Die zentrale Lage und die Nähe zur Hauptstadt machen die Wohnung zu einer top Lage. Man ist eben so schnell im Süden wie auch im Norden. Die schönsten Strände an der Ost und Westküste sind jederzeit mit ein paar Kilometer zu erreichen. Ich danke allen Familienmitglieder der Gastgeber für ihre wunderbare Unterstützung. Ich bin tiefen entspannt nach hause gekommen. So wie es mein Ziel war

Πολύ καλή η εμπειρία μας από το διαμονή μας. Οι οικοδεσπότες ήταν πολύ φιλικοί και βοηθητικοί. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Notre hôte est venu nous chercher et ramener au port, ce qui a été très agréable . L emplacement est idéal avec la vue sur la mer , non loin du port (2 minutes à pieds) sans les désagréments. La petite plage en bas est un plus. Le linge de maison a été changé , même pour un court séjour. Notre hôte était très gentille et accueillante. Le logement est beaucoup mieux en vrai que sur les photos et est spatieux . Je recommande !

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.

Een mooi appartement op een rustig plekje in Sami. Het heeft alle benodigdheden en een fijn balkon.

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 💛

Ηταν ενα ησυχο ομορφο μερος εξω απο την Καλαματα αλλα πολυ κοντα με το αυτοκινητο. Ο Παναγιωτης ηταν φιλικος κι εξυπηρετικος σε οτι κι αν χρειαστηκαμε και γενικοτερα ειναι ενα μερος που θα το επελεγα ξανα.

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.

Nous avons été très bien accueilli, le logement est très agréable avec piscine…
