Excellent stay, fantastic villa
Our party consisted of two family's, which the villa suited perfectly. Beautiful area, very private and peaceful. The village has a small shop with a cafe attached. There is a winery which serves meze, we didn’t try this as we had young kids who are fussy eaters. There is a great taverna, with the most beautiful views. Argostoli is only 15 mins by car and a must visit, so beautiful. The villa is beautiful, great layout. All needs catered for. Most of our time was spent outside in the beautiful pool and relaxing on the sun loungers. There’s lots of pool toys for the kids which was perfect. Great communication on the run up to the holiday, very responsive. A lovely welcome hamper which was great as we arrived fairly late and it meant we didn’t have to venture out to shops. Mike visited the next day, he messaged first. Mike is such a fantastic host, loads of great advice around places to eat and visit. All his recommendations were brilliant. You will need a car, Mike recommended a fab car hire, it was the easiest car hire we’ve ever used. Again great communication. If you have young kids a really good day out is the water park at Lixouri. You take the car ferry from Argostoli, which runs every 20 mins all day, every day. Very efficient and only takes around 15/20 mins to cross. The water park has 5 slides and a lovely pool area with plenty of sun beds. We didn’t eat at the park, we took a short stroll to the beach and ate at the taverna, which was lovely.

Peaceful family orientated villa
Beautiful villa, pool and garden. Really well equipped. Our host Mike was attentive, friendly and informative about everything we needed to know for our first stay in Kefalonia. Added bonus were some local well behaved cats who made us feel at home. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to go back.

Villa Kallisto a true gem!
From start to finish our stay at this villa was just perfect. It is stunning and is positioned in such a lovely position within walking distance to a beautiful beach and lovely village tavernas. The views are breathtaking. Mike has made sure your stay at the villa is as comfortable as possible, with everything catered for. Was a great size for 6 adults with loads of room and to have two separate floors with kitchens in each was great for all to spread out. We made good use of the wonderful pool and bbq. This villa is the perfect sanctuary to return when visiting surrounding areas in Kefalonia or to just stay put. It definitely lives up to all expectations. Book it! You really will have a wonderful time here. We did and were all sad to leave. Thanks Mike, and for the car ride back to the airport for some of our party!

Fantastic, well equipped Villa on two levels- ideal for two families to share with independence. Beautiful quiet setting and gorgeous garden. BBQ and Pool were spot on (with plenty of sun beds!). Air conditioning was a godsend as were comfy beds. Enjoyed having a choice of areas to sit and eat or relax with a drink in the evening- fantastic view from balcony towards the sea and Zante. Owners Mike and Eileen very helpful during booking and again once we were there; leaving a beautiful full welcome baskets of treats and great recommendations for restaurants to visit and best supermarkets etc. Highly recommend and would love to return.

Fabulous accommodation, superbly equipped.
Peaceful, beautifully clean and very comfortable. I have never stayed somewhere where the kitchen was so well equipped. The welcome basket was amazingly generous and the stocked wine rack meant we could try local wine before buying which was great. Only a couple of negatives for us. We didn’t like the six cats that invaded us so we couldn’t keep any doors open. Not feeding them made no difference. While the walk down to the nearest cove was short, taking 18 mins, there are 118 steps down to it and it took much longer to walk back up the hill. We didn’t find anywhere to eat that was walkable open so car essential. It was particularly peaceful as the neighbouring villa was empty. If it had not been the proximity of others might have impinged.

A wonderful time
The villa was very spacious and well equipped, idea for a party of 4 couples. The pool was a very good size and beautifully lit in the evening and there was more than enough outside space for everyone in a very pretty garden. The location was ideal for the south coast of the island with beaches, shops etc a short drive away. The host was very approachable, generous and full of helpful suggestions to make our stay perfect. We would certaintly look to return to this property on our next visit to kefalonia.

Communication with the owner, Mike was fantastic from the moment we booked. Mike met us at the villa the day after we arrived welcoming us to the villa and making sure we had everything we needed. He gave us some great recommendations for days out and places to eat! He was available throughout our stay if we needed anything at all, nothing was too much trouble for him. The villa is so well equipped, it has everything anyone could need and more. (Including adapter plugs, beach towels etc). The villa is beautiful, with loads of room for the 7 of us that stayed. The pool is wonderful and there are enough inflatables for everyone to be happy! The area is stunning, I’ve never seen water so clear. We had such a wonderful holiday and the villa was the perfect base for us to explore the area and relax. If we return to Kefalonia this would be my number one place to stay. I would highly recommend Mike’s villa to anyone visiting the island. Perfect!

Gorgeous, clean villa
I can't rate this villa, and Mike, the owner, highly enough. The villa is clean and gorgeous. The pool is perfect, and the air conditioning works really well. The villa is equipped with everything you could need, and Mike was instantly contactable and really helpful. He even came to the airport to meet us at 11pm so he could guide us to the villa in the dark. there are some lovely restaurants in the area, and perfect snorkelling and swimming beaches within a 5 or 10 minute drive. if you are considering Kefalonia, and this villa, you really couldn't do much better. The perfect holiday and reset after this last 18 months!

Due to Covid we were very nervous about travelling to Kefalonia. Mike gave us more time to cancel if need be and we were guaranteed 100 percent cancellation fee back if we didn’t go. We didn’t need this and carried on with our plans and we did not regret it. We were there to celebrate my Fathers 80th and we had the most fantastic time. Villa was clean and comfortable, pool was perfect. We loved Kefalonia. Location was great.

Perfect for a relaxing family holiday
We had a lovely, relaxing holiday at the end of August in Villa Kallisto. The villa itself is in great condition, it is full of modern fixtures and fittings with lots of furniture available. The location is beautiful and is not full of other tourists, it is a quaint little village which is exactly what we wanted. The views from the upstairs balcony are to die for, Mount Ainos on one side and views over the Zakynthos on the other! Prior to arrival Mike and Eileen were both excellent to deal with and were quick to respond to any queries we had, which there were a few! They also gave us some recommendations on restaurants (The Olive Lounge is stunning) and advised we should hire a car, which we did and would also recommend others to do. The little sandy cove at the bottom of the hill at Pessada was beautiful with crystal clear water and some great snorkelling round by the marina. The pool was a good size and well maintained, we had trouble getting the kids out of it! It was cleaned midweek during our stay too which was nice. We enjoyed using the BBQ area to eat on a couple of nights too. I could go on and on about what a lovely time we had but all in all if you are looking to book this villa, just do it, you won't regret it. Thanks Mike and Eileen for having us!

Weeks stay from 23rd -30th June
Lovely Villa which accommodated 4 couples easily. The 2 separate apartments were well equipped with everything you need. The linen was changed during the week , but one bedroom was missed with replacement bath towels and mat. We visited the Sunrise Taverna which is a 15 min walk down to where the daily ferry crosses to Zante . It’s a basic menu, but cooked fresh and very friendly staff. We also ate at the Olive Grove which was delicious. This taverna was near to the castle, about a 10 min drive. We had 2 cars to explore the island, and visited Asos (highly recommended) such a pretty village and then we went onto Fiskardo and ate by the sea front . There are a couple of supermarkets nearby for your provisions and Agristoli is a must for a visit to see the turtles feeding from the fisherman early morning, which is also where we brought some fish for our BBQ. Would definitely return .
