Family-friendly vacation rentals in Vlachata

Mirka and Denis were so helpful and kind.Loved the location. hot tub and pool were great! close to great restaurants and markets.

Angela is simply the most wonderful host we’ve encountered. She was extremely welcoming and let us check in early as we were in the area. The house is lovely and beautifully decorated. All the basics are provided which is always great for international travellers! The pool was amazing with great views and we all loved spending time outside. Angela is very friendly with lots of recommendations. She really is the perfect host and I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay. The villa is even nicer than pictures show, with the pool & gorgeous views of the hills & sea. Very helpful hosts who met us on arrival, responded to all queries and gave us lots of local recommendations. Definitely recommend hiring a car to get around and exploring the beautiful island. Hope to visit again!

We had a great stay since our arrival Alexandros turned out to be an extremely kind person available and full of directions to make us feel at home. His presence meant that we could move around and find the best beaches based on the conditions of the weather, winds and sea. Highly recommended. In many trips we had never found such a present and available person. A relationship has definitely been born that will lead us to visit him again in the future.

We are 4-member family and we stayed at Katerina's appartment, in order to explore Kefalonia island. It's located in Karavados village, a small village about 15min from city of Argostoli. Several beaches are about 10-20min away, and market is about 7-8 minutes away. The appartment was very clean and well equipped. Katerina was always available to respond in our requests when needed. There's space outside the appartment, that can be used as parking, and the place around the appartment is very quite.

WOW! We were speechless and thrilled from the first second! We have recovered incredibly during the week - with the best view on the island. The finca was very clean and everything was thought of. We were very nicely welcomed and the fridge was fully equipped. We've never had such luxury in an Airbnb. The only thing that bothered us was the doors. Unfortunately, they were very noisy and so you woke up the other family members if you had to leave the room at night. Also, there is a crazy rooster in the neighborhood that has crowed non-stop. Of course, no one can help it, but I thought it was important to note this. Thank you for the great experience also to Denise & Rafaella. We will be back :)

our stay at Anna's place in Kefalonia was amazing. the house was beautiful, extremely clean. and Anna's mom was soo sweet and helpful. she was there during check-in and provided everything we needed. we didn't have shampoos and conditioners and shower gel in the Airbnb, so when I asked Anna, her mom immediately came and provided those. they are the sweetest hosts. only thing I can recommend is: Google maps shows incorrect location when you put the address, please add in Airbnb instructions to put the place in Google maps that takes you the correct location for this address. that way it will be easier to find for the guest. we had some difficulty finding the place, but the host was super responsive so we were able to make it.

We had a lovely stay here. The villa is private but so close to the neighbouring hotel that we could use the pool (less than a minute's walk) and be sociable whenever we wanted. The bar and cafe by the pool are also great and the staff very friendly so it was an excellent place to hang out. We hired a car (recommended) and also visited nearby beaches, coves and restaurants in Skala, of which there are plenty. The cove at the bottom of the hill by the villa is also great for swimming, snorkelling and quiet sunbathing. The villa itself was perfect for our family of four, with everything we needed for self-catering, a beautiful sea view and a big terrace with loads of comfy furniture. Thank you for an enjoyable week!

Christina and her parents are kind and generous hosts, providing basic provisions and gifts of home-grown pomegranates and eggs from their own hens. The apartment was light, airy and well furnished, with good bed linen and plenty of towels, loo roll, shower gel, etc. Good light-excluding shutters and quiet, efficient air con. The gardens are pretty and well-maintained with seating in sun or shade, as preferred. Attractively lit in the evenings. The views of the sea and mountains are stunning from dual aspect balconies, which are in sunshine all day long. 10 minute walk to the sea and nearest tavernas. Narrow beaches are stony but accessible. 5 minute drive to pretty port of Sami with small supermarkets, shops and many bars and tavernas. Ferries to Ithaca and mainland. No sandy beaches locally. However, the sea is beautifully clear.

We stayed almost a week in this nice and beautiful apartment in Svoronta. Even though the airport ist a 15 minute walk away, we never felt bothered by any kind of airport noise. The location of the House is close to the capital (Argostoli) and a good base to explore the island. The apartment itself ist clean and tidy. The hostess was extrordinary friendly and always happy to help. Her hospitality was remarkable. She told us about the sights worth seeing and where not to go. With her help we had a week full of special experiences. The Garden and perimiter of the aartment are well kept and extensive. The House comes with a friendly and happy dog and sweet and curious cats.

Everything about Cottage by the Sea is special, from Kia (the owner) to the location, the surroundings, the house, neighbours - EVERYTHING! The house is perfect. Beautifully decorated, lacking nothing. The aircons were a saving grace! The beach is on your doorstep. And Atheras beach is simply stunning, hugged between two hills and the landmark rocky island in the middle of the entrance to the bay. We had 4 blissful weeks in Kia's house as a family of 5. The sea, sun and peace did wonders for our wellbeing. Really enjoyed the lemons and grapes from the garden. Oh, and the goats! Ethos, Pathos and Logos visited almost everyday (destroying Kia's beautiful Delicious Monsters, no less) but they were a special feature and lingers in our memories. A special mention to Makis, who took us out on his fishing boat for a day to other beaches close by. Kia is a warm, efficient host, non-intrusive and yet anticipating every need of her guests. Highly recommend!! We'll come again.

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

We loved our week at Emmanouella's. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. The fruit trees and small garden delighted us. The view was beautiful and our baby loved playing with the many toys on site. The kitchen is very well-equipped. We spent two months in Greece and it's really one of our favorite houses. We felt at home there.

The place was really fantastic, everything is super clean and exactly as described. The view from the terrace is really fantastic and we would come back any time! A single drawback is that you can definitely hear “neighbors” in the apartment next door quite loudly if they are still active late at night. Of course, the host can't do anything about that and the accommodation itself is highly recommended!

Maria greeted us and showed us the immaculate place decorated with unique crochet art! The wrap around balcony overlooking the bay provided a perfect breakfast spot and a great place to relax after a full day at the many beautiful beaches close by. It is close to downtown Argostoli, and Lambros provided a very useful guidebook which we used all the time and enjoyed many of the restaurants, beaches and bakeries he had recommended. Maria is a great baker and we were very lucky to have tasted her apple cake! Highly recommend this place.

Enjoyed our stay in a great location. Spacious bedrooms, basic equipment in kitchen. Good Wi-Fi. Useful outdoor space. Flexible checking in and out worked well.

A beautiful modern home in a quiet village that’s 15 minutes from the most beautiful beaches in Kefalonia. Niko was an excellent host and ensured we had everything we needed and more. The home was beautifully furnished and comfortable, and the soaking pool was a bonus for the very hot days. We would love to stay here again!

Wow. This villa has everything. What a spectacular view and amazing pool. We went to the old windmill restaurant twice which was family run and a lovely walk down the hill. It is close to Port Nikolais where we had the most incredible boat day looking at the blue caves and shipwreck. I feel so relaxed and I’m so grateful we found this place to make memories.

We had a great time at Joy's. Beautiful apartments in a very well-maintained complex with awesome views. The great breakfast (coffee, juice, croissants and a selection of omelettes or porridge) sweetens the start of the day and Joy and her whole team go one better. Super helpful and friendly, they create a great atmosphere to feel good. Thank you very much. Especially outside the main season, the kitchen with the beautiful private seating area outside invites you to linger, as most restaurants are available. Recommendations go out! We will definitely be back. Kind regards

We had an incredible stay at John’s villa. The villa was spacious, with beautiful surroundings, and spotless, with stunning views. The pool area was perfect for relaxing, and the location was peaceful yet close to beaches and other attractions. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, making the whole experience even better. A perfect spot for a family holiday—we’d love to come back!

Very nice villa in an unbeatable location - right on the beach, short walk to restaurants, bars, shop, watersports. Pool is small, but it’s a lovely place to sit out - poolside furniture must have been replaced since other reviews, we found it fine. Terrace is a great place to eat dinner or take in the view. Some more comfortable chairs here would have helped, but it’s a superb setting. The little garden is a bonus, with banana palms and lime and orange trees. Host was slow to respond before we arrived, but then very helpful with instructions, late check-out and dealing with household rubbish (dumpsters arrive and disappear sporadically). The beach is a beautiful place to sunbathe and also to swim, especially in the mornings when it is glassy flat. Perfect resort for us - plenty of eats/drinks but relatively undeveloped/non-touristy. A few snags stop it being ‘luxury’ - the kitchen units a bit beaten up, our bedside lights didn’t work - but aircon and showers were excellent

We had an amazing stay at Katerina's place. The house looks exactly like the pictures. The seaview is breath taking and all the surroundings are very calm. It's perfect for piecfull vacations. We warmly recommend this house.

A wonderful stay here and would highly recommend this holiday house! Lots of space and outside areas beautifully maintained. Pool was lovely and put to good use. A car is essential but house is in a great location to explore the island. Roxani was a generous host, available to answer any questions we had. Thank you!

We booked this villa due to a last minute change in our itinerary. Dani reached out right away, and provided us with checkin instructions, local restaurants/shop recommendations, an area guide, etc. It was most helpful. We mistakenly arrived a day early and thankfully Dani was able to accommodate the additional night. She was very responsive, replying almost immediately every time I reached out with questions, concerns. The villa was lovely, clean, well equipped, and those views! Wow! We enjoyed the large private pool every night, and taking our breakfast on the expansive outdoor terrace in the mornings. The villa is located about 5 min drive outside of Argostoli. Set up on a hill side, in a private & quiet area. I would recommend having a car but we also found the villa to be walkable to several lovely restaurants (Sto Psito - highly recommend dining here), Kaminia Beach, Gradaki Beach, a mini market, and several other shops. All in all, we had a wonderful stay & would return. Cheers!
