Family-friendly holiday rentals in Agia Effimia

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!!

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

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.

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

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's not far to Lixouri on foot! Communication with the landlords was also great! We can recommend the apartment 100%! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING🫶!

This place is amazing. Andreas was very kind and helpful. A wonderful experience! 10/10

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 loved the house and had a great stay. Thank you!

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

We had a great time at Anna's place. The apartment is spacious and very clean. The balcony is great for sitting out in the evenings and there are some nice restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend!

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.

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

This was the best AirBnB we have stayed in. The house is lovely - really comfortable. The swimming pool area is excellent, and the views are incredible. The photos do not do the views justice - they are stunning. We could have stayed for weeks, not just a few days, and would love to return.

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.

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.

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

Lovely villa with super patio space, and nice to be so close to a few restaurants in the village. We had a great time.

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 😎

We spent an amazing ten days at this lovely property. It took us by surprise on arrival, photos really don’t do it justice. The rear is nicely enclosed, and the front overlooks an olive grove. The garden around the property itself has an olive tree, several fruit trees, flowers and even a couple of tortoises. 🐢 Some local products were left in the kitchen for us when we arrived, always helpful! The area is not touristy at all, which we liked, but a car is essential if you want to explore the island properly. Good central location. There is on street park close by. Would definitely stay here again! 💙🇬🇷

Beautiful location, house, and excellent service from Grace, will definitely be returning!
