Cottage vacation rentals in Cephalonia

Lovely peaceful airbnb, very close to a small beach, and a 10mn walk into the town. Perfect for families. The house itself was very clean, and the beds very comfy. Communication with the host was very clear, we had an issue setting up the baby bed and the host came to help. The only downsides were that they had already turned off the jaccuzi (we booked for end of september and on the listing it says the jacuzzi is open that month), and there was not as many child amenities as listed. Better to check with the host when booking related to the above points.

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.

We had a great stay on Maria’s property. The view and surroundings are beautiful and we loved walking outside to see the water. It was a very secluded and private area, which we liked, however the road to the house was pretty rough and bumpy. You get used to it after a few days, but be ready for a lot of dust and dirt on the car! Maria was very responsive and helpful with any question or concern we had. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!

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

We had a great time! Beautiful view, quiet and peaceful location, close to the airport, shops and the city. Check in was super easy! Gerasimos is a great host!

Greg’s place is a dream airbnb. Although I have been increasingly disappointed with Airbnb as host become more and more corporate, Greg’s place is a beautiful home built by his great great grandfather (you can see his signature on a stone near the entrance). It has been in the family since. It has functions as a home and a refuge. It is Amazon g to get to participate in the history of such a special place.

Ionnas parents Fotini and Iannis were so friendly and helpful, I've never found such kind hosts. Fotini plied us with lovely home made honey, fruits, eggs and very kindly gave me seeds to grow on next spring.. the cottage is absolutely lovely, quiet and the space is well proportioned. Visitors need to be aware it's a 10 minute drive to nearest village with shops and a few stairs up from the car parking place.Ionna was equally helpful messaging promptly about any help required, as she does not live on site. a perfect place to stay for the week.

What an absolutely perfect stay we had here. The most beautifully clean space with everything you could ever need included, two gorgeous little kittens, the prettiest garden and a breathtaking view. Check in was easy and our leaving gifts of herbs and marmalades was so wonderful. We will definitely be back, thank you so much.

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.

Perfect experience! Everything was as advertised, even more. First of all, communication with the host was timely, active and without delays. We managed to find the place with no issues at all. Arriving at the house was a breeze, and felt right like at home. AC was up to the task battling with extremely hot Greek summer (38oC !). Shower and all other amenities were perfect. We were also able to use the provided washing machine and this solved our troubles as we were arriving there from a previous stay which did not offer that. The place is very calm, just 6km from Sami town which is port connection from Patras and offers amazing options for local restaurants, cafes, supermarkets etc. The most important is that it is just in the middle of the island, providing the opportunity to easily approach any other location without the need to drive long distances. High recommendation for families, group of friends or even lonely stayers! Couldn't ask for something more.

A magical home in a wonderful location. My first trip to both this home and island. Will definitely be back. Also, Klara is an amazing artist with a phenomenal body of work. A must see.

Very cozy house. Very nice garden. Wonderful holiday. The noise of the airport stops at 11 pm ......so we have always slept very well

Idyllic location, so peaceful and quiet with stunning views of Afales Bay. Near the island spring well for fresh water and three gorgeous cows as neighbours. Loved lying in the hammock under the old olive tree and listening to the occasional goat bell. Heaven!

We loved staying here. Spiraggelos couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The accommodation was in an ideal location - in the countryside but a very short distance to Argostoli. There were sandy beaches within 10 minutes by car and the airport was 15 minutes away. The house came with everything we needed and had a good size garden with olive trees and a hammock under a fig tree. We would definitely return.

This is a great place to stay. Mixalis and Venetia are excellent hosts - very thoughtful but also unobtrusive. They live in the ground floor flat (the property for rent is the top 2 floors) so are nearby when / if you need any help. The view is fantastic - you have Mt Ainos looming behind and the blue sea in front. The 2 south-facing terraces are perfect for taking it all in. We found the place very quiet during our stay and slept very well in the comfortable beds! The position is very convenient. Vlachata has a number of supermarkets and restaurants (although as of April 2022, in the very early season, not all were yet open). You can also walk or drive down to the beaches at Lourdata and Kanali (the latter is quieter and really idyllic, Lourdata is great too and has a choice of restaurants and bars). All in all, highly recommend as a perfect base for enjoying and exploring Kefalonia. Efharisto Mixalis and Venetia!

This place was perfect, in such a quiet spot with amazing views over the sea and mountains. Ilias was so helpful, and the apartment was beautiful. Really nice touches with the beautiful books and decour. The local beach and restaurants were superb, and it was very easy access into Lixouri. Amazing!

We spent Easter week in this beautiful, serene cottage. It was the perfect setting, in a beautiful town in Kefalonia. We loved the yard and garden, we spent every meal eating outside. The home was very comfortable and had everything we needed and more- we especially loved the large bathroom and comfortable bed. Heike and Nikos were exceptional hosts. We also fell in love with some of the pets in the neighbourhood which were all very friendly. The cottage is centrally located; close to some of the best beaches and only a ten minute drive to Argostoli. We will 100% be staying here next time we come to Kefalonia as it’s a little dream.

We had a wonderful week with our 2 children at Auntie Cottage. The atmosphere is just amazing, it feels like home. The cottage is perfectly equipped, nothing is missing. We particularly appreciated the cleanliness of the place, the comfort of the house (bedrooms, kitchen equipment, air conditioning, 2 terraces, outdoor shower...). The house is bigger than in the photos, the space is great for a family. Sophia is a great host who gives you a lot of information to enjoy visiting the area. She is also very kind and flexible to make your life easier during your stay. A gem that will make your stay on the island even more wonderful!

wow what a beautiful home ! Niki and her lovely family made us feel so very welcome they were so warm and very friendly. We were overwhelmed when we opened the fridge to find so many delicious snacks, and drinks. The homemade trifles and homemade moussaka they kindly cooked for us was absolutely delicious ! We felt very much at home staying in their beautiful house. The living room was so comfortable and spacious. The kitchen area had everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable. The hoyse was very clean and comfortable. We loved everything about this traditional home. It was lovely to sit in the pretty, spacious garden for breakfast every morning. We cannot thank Nikki and her family enough for making us feel so welcome. We have booked many airbnbs over the years and I can honestly say we have never been made to feel so welcome as we have in Nikis home. It's been wonderful, thank you so much.

Maria was a lovely host! She even brought us delicious sweets and gave us many local tips for our trip. We definitely felt at home in her airbnb. We loved the location being very accesible to most of the places in the island and how peaceful was the neighborhood.
