Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ithaca

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.

The villa is absolutely beautiful. It looks just as it does in the picture with the incredible view and clean, considered interior. But what you can’t see is the beautiful construction. Every detail is perfect. Kothreas is at the top of a mountain but it’s easy enough to drive to the delightful seaside villages of Fiskardo and Assos and the extraordinary beaches in northern Kefalonia. The mountain village is charming and rustic with walnut, fig and pomegranate trees, stone buildingd and surrounding hillside that smells of wild thyme & oregano and where you hear goat bells. Nearby there are authentic and excellent mountain tavernas and larger villages like Maganos. The pool is absolutely lovely. We paid to get it heated which was money well spent as our kids stayed in it for hours. Foula and her team were incredible hosts. So kind, informative and welcoming, and it was amazing having a housekeeper every second day. Thank you so much - we hope to be back! Efcharisto!!

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 a lovely stay at this home! It’s wonderfully located at the end of a long bump track, close enough to Sivota for dinner, drinks and ice cream. Definitely need a car to get around but once you’re at the house you have a stunning infinity pool, a private path down to the sea and a hot tub. It’s quiet, calm and has a lot of character. Make sure to get a food, coffee and wine shop before you arrive with all the essentials. We’d love to come back again! Our second time in Sivota and this was a brilliant base. We were 4 adults and 4 children / babies!

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

The apartment was simply awesome and is even better than in the photos! The outdoor area is fantastic and the view of the sea is so great! We were received in a very friendly manner and felt right at home. When we arrived, milk, fruits, cheese, ham, Greek yogurt & water were in the fridge! In addition, fresh rolls & honey were there. We were very pleased about that! The apartment is huge and clean. In addition, it is very well equipped and we lacked nothing!!! The location is great too. It is not far to Lixouri on foot! Communication with the landlords was also great! We can recommend the apartment 100%! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING🫶!

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.

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 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.

Perfect stay and nice views, thank you!

Staying in the villa feels like staying at home: it’s cozy, well equipped, decorated with love and Angie and her family are all incredibly nice. A huge bonus- they can prepare food for you which is with home grown vegetables and tastes amazing. We had no issues with the check in or when leaving and I feel we were very lucky to have found this place. If you want peace and quiet, a gorgeous view and the privacy of a whole house, this is your place. 🧡

Lovely stay very peaceful, great base to explore the island.

Congratulations on the apartment. Unique and spectacular. A large living room with a super-equipped kitchen and two sofas, above two air-conditioned bedrooms with comfortable beds. Outside, a table on a terrace overlooking the breathtaking sea, we stayed for dinner two nights to enjoy the view. The owner Maria, a lovely person, welcomed us with so much kindness, offering us cake, jam and coffee upon arrival. Four of us were comfortable. The apartment is in a strategic location to easily reach all the beaches both north and east and west of the island. We'll definitely be back.

we stayed 8 days and it's was a perfect home for traveling and enjoying the north side and the best beaches of Kefalonia.

We had a fantastic stay. Villa Elia is a beautiful traditional building set in a beautiful and peaceful location. It's only a 10 to 15 minute walk into Antipata where there are two tavernas and a small but well stocked shop. The villa is well equipped and has comfortable beds. The air conditioning is quickly effective. The patio area is large, there are lovely views and there are always areas of shade if you want them. Kostas was very responsive to any communication. Although he wasn't able to be around for our stay he arranged for a neighbour, Maria, to be available. Maria came round after we arrived to answer any questions we might have and provide recommendations of things to do. She was also happy to respond to messages during our stay. We felt very welcomed to the villa. It is a wonderful relaxing holiday.

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.

This was such a gorgeous stay, I loved everything about it. Looks exactly like the photos but the photos don’t do justice to just how gorgeous the house and its premises are. The pool was maybe the cleanest I have ever seen in any, even 5 star hotel, the water just pristine and silky. Being able to walk down to the swimming stairs and swim in the crystal clear sea was amazing. When the pillows I slept in during my first night were a bit too high, the owner immediately organised a lower pillow for me which was perfect. I can wholeheartedly recommend Stella di Mare, and I hope to return next year!

The villa had amazing outdoor space. The place was clean and spacious. We were met by George who showed us around and was always quick to reply to any queries. This was a lovely place to stay. Need a car but that made exploring better. Vasiliki is a lovely resort

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 😎

If you’re thinking about booking a stay at Villa Rosa, don’t, just book it. To say the photographs don’t do it justice is an understatement, this place is truly paradise. If you look one way you experience magnificent vistas over the Ionian Sea and look another and you experience the majesty of the Kefalonian mountains… it’s simply stunning. Then, there is Joy… wow what an incredible woman. In all my years of travel I’ve never met a more professional, kind and caring person in my life. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, Joy made us feel at home and like we were part of her wonderful family. She took us personally to our accommodation which was wonderful (again better than the pictures) and helped us to get well appointed with the area and the villa. Each day Joy greeted us at breakfast (which is to die for by the way) and would give us personal recommendations for places to eat or visit all over the island… all of which were incredible… we will back!

Had a wonderful 3 weeks stay. The house was lovely and cosy. Had everything we needed and more. Chrisanthi was lovely and helpful, came in every day with fresh bedding and towels and kept everything clean and tidy. Gave us fresh eggs and vegetables every now and then. We loved the beach cove which was a 15 min walk to, sandy beach and the water was clear and warm with comfy sunbeds. Used the pool to cool off in the late afternoons. Secure internet with wifi. Supermarket about a 5 minute walk with every day needs. Need a car go to the big Lidl. The restaurants nearby and within walking distance were very friendly and we had some really good meals and i highly recommend the local wine, it was delicious. We slept well and came away feeling well rested. Thank you 😊

We have just returned from an amazing stay at the villa. Amazing location and great being so great to the beach. Host very responsive and attentive. Thank you, hope to return again soon

Panos is a great host, very friendly and responsive, and keen to help. The offer of airport transfers was great and eased our way into the holiday. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well equipped, and the outside space is particularly fab and it's very peaceful. It's very well positioned and easily walkable to all the restaurants and Poros harbour.
