Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lixouri

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 a wonderful stay Elina! Villa was comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The pool was lovely. We enjoyed every moment & felt right at home. We would stay here again on our next visit. Highly recommended! We did not hire a car but would recommend doing so if wanting to venture around the island. Taxis are easily available if needed for shorter trips. Plenty of mini-markets and restaurants within a 25 minute walk. Received plenty of info and further support via email prior to arrival and our host was available to answer any queries during the stay via phone messaging app.

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 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.

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

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.

We had a magical stay at Anna’s cottage and fell in love with Kefalonia here. Sitting on the terrace with the wonderful views out to Ithaca and beyond was a highlight with our stay here. The apartment is very spacious, with great facilities. The terrace is private to the cottage and is accessed straight from the kitchen with the wonderful views. This was such a bonus. We will definitely be back!

From pre-arrival to the pointof leaving, Varvara was helpful, responsive, attentive and informative. Easter was imminent and a multitude of easter gifts were left for us on the table, as well as milk, orange juice and water in the fridge. The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday to the full. It really is in an ideal location, close to all amenities. We would heartily recommend this stay for anyone. We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to Argostoli.

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.

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.

Wonderful and peaceful place. It was clean and tidy. Zicos was very kind to us, leaving some welcoming fruit and helping with tips for beaches, villages and the necessary hot-spots to enjoy Ithaki. Sunrises and sunsets in the terrace looking at Cefalonia were overwhelming and made us stay at the place more than we thought. We’ll repeat for sure.

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

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.

Heaven on earth!!..Breathtaking views..so peaceful & surrounded by nature..A bright light pristine space indoors & outdoors is a space to chill & soak in the views for hours..Can’t rate it highly enough..& Natalie is wonderful & so helpful..We just fell in love with it!..

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.

Beautiful view from the house, the setting is soothing. The house is fenced and closed with a gate, this is safe with small children. A huge thank you to Dimitri for his attention, all his advice and for his availability.

We had a fantastic two week stay at Villa Penelope. The villa is situated towards the bottom of a windy road (car necessary!) about 2km from Spartia, a lovely village with a fantastic taverna and two well-stocked supermarkets (we recommend the freddo cappuccinos from Marina’s!). The villa itself is idyllic - the outside area is one of the best we’ve seen (and we’ve been to Greece upwards of ten times!) — a BBQ, ample comfortable seating areas in the shade and a beautiful large pool with jacuzzi jets. So much greenery too! The best part is the short 3-4 minute walk to a rock formation with access to the sea, plus free sun-beds and umbrellas (and great snorkelling). Inside, the villa is well-stocked with everything you need — comfy beds, loads of storage and great showers. The housekeepers are non-intrusive, coming every four days so you can plan to head out and leave them to it. Nearby, there are some fantastic tavernas. We recommend Denis, Veremente, The Olive Lounge. 10/10!

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!

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

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

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!
