House rentals with a pool

superb villa with private pool peaceful location
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.

Le Grand Bleu Villa
This place is fabulous. The accommodation is almost new and kept to a high standard. That view Wow! It’s difficult to prise yourself away from the Villa as it’s so comfortable sitting by the pool, soaking up the sun and having such a lovely villa with all of its amenities to hand. Kostas and Tammy are lovely friendly people, they were responsive and Kostas met us in the village upon arrival ( 2mins away) as finding the Villa would have otherwise been tricky. It’s up a hill and a good walk to the nearest bar / restaurant, so we found a car essential. Kostas recommended a local car hire company and they were fabulous 👍. Alan the cat is a bonus , so friendly , we felt obliged to keep him nourished. He’s not allowed inside the Villa but he is in no way a nuisance, just a lovely character. There are many bars and restaurants, some on the beach front and some in the village. Again car essential ( or local taxi). I would highly recommend this accommodation 👍

Golden Stone Villa in Karavados!
Couldn’t have found a better place to have a relaxing and private holiday. The photos do not do the house and surroundings justice. The views are spectacular and the house is stunning. Felt right at home from the moment we picked up the keys.

200m to the beach | brand new 2024 | Villa Melina
What an amazing place!! Cannot wait to return…Kefalonia and the villa was amazing. The villa is even better than the pictures. Really clean, modern, private and relaxing. Great location for exploring the island. Pantelis provided lots of recommendations for places to eat and visit. The cleaner also provided a wonderful service and worked really hard keeping all four villas in pristine condition. There’s a lovely little beach 5 minutes walk from the villa. Argostoli capital is a 15 minute drive away and is a lovely place to visit, head down there early and see the fisherman feed the turtles. We fell in love with Kefalonia and the villa and would definitely return.

apartment with private pool in Villa Giovani
Really lovely stay, perfect size accommodation for 2 people, and a little plunge pool to enjoy in the mornings before heading out. Plus incredible views across the mountains! You would definitely need a car to get around down to the beach and restaurants. Dimitris is really helpful and has so many recommendations to send across and tell you all about. He kindly gave us pool towels in addition to regular house towels which was very useful during our stay. Would highly recommend staying.

Alekos Beach Houses-Kymata Suite
The villa was amazing, even more beautiful than the photos. The pool and the grounds surrounding are very well kept. Kostas met us on check in, spent some time with us with a map of the island and highlighted the places he thought we should go, based on us telling him what we wanted from our holiday. We went to 95% of the places of which were all amazing, so his recommendations were spot on. Ideally located to access the main towns and a variety of beaches. We would definitely recommend this villa and will absolutely be returning in the future.

Kefalonia Stone Villas-Villa Trapezaki Tranquility
We spent a lovely week at the villa and its an amazing property, spotlessly clean with everything you need. The hosts were great and really helpful with local recommendations. A car is a must and we managed to cover everything on our list with days out and then evenings spent at the villa. All in all a great holiday and I'd definitely return.

Villa Sensi
Thank you Spyros for an amazing holiday trip. Your are very helpful and nice. You have gone out of your way to help and accommodate for all our needs above and beyond what is expected from a host. You are a Super Host! Thank you again and we recommend everyone to enjoy the new Sensi Villa for its quality, privacy, amenities, distance from town, next door beach, swimming pool and the beautiful view of the bay! Just perfect!

MONCASA | YOUR IONIAN HOME
A beautiful penthouse apartment with a spectacular view. The apartment is tastefully decorated with a modern design. Was a perfect base for exploring Kefalonia.

Alexander studio..
Easy to reach. Beautiful, modern apartment as in the photos. Great starting point for exploring the island. Nice villages, taverns, restaurants and beaches nearby. Great communication and uncomplicated process. We enjoyed their stay very much!

Euphoria Traditional house
nice cozy place, nice welcome with homemade wine and olive oil👍 great terrace and view.

Terra View - Stone Villa
Great apartment with a wonderful view of the valley and sea from the terrace. Landlady Hermina was super friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfortable, the beach of Petani around the corner. Nothing was missing, some coffee was available on arrival. We were very satisfied, it was very quiet at the beginning of June, great for relaxing. We only used the kitchen sparingly, but it was well equipped. Everything was as described, we felt very comfortable.

Octopus's Garden
Octopus Garden stands out as one of our all time favourite Airbnb locations! Ideal in every way! My son and I felt instantly at home! Agia Effimia is a tranquil, cozy village away from it all, yet Argostoli was an easy drive that we made several times to beauty spots on the other side of Kefalonia. The proximity to Sami was a massive plus, as there are tons of sights and lovely shopping. The house is spacious and had everything that one could possibly need. My son enjoyed having his own bedroom and bathroom. The wash machine was extremely handy. Thank you so much for leaving so many goodies for us. It was nice not to have to run out immediately for supplies and groceries. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, as the restaurants in town were amazing! Amalia and Cafe Fior D’amore were our go-to’s. I will miss doing my yoga on the terrace overlooking the bay and listening and to the morning song. We loved the sweet, black cat who always greeted us and shared our sun spots!

The Tree House
This was just what we wanted for a week of peace and gorgeous surroundings ...easy access to lovely beaches for a swim and tavernas were great too ... we would love to return next year ... satisfied customers

Maritina's Apartments (A1) amazing sea view!
Great Airbnb just a short walk from Agia Efimia. Big balcony area with a brilliant view. We loved that we could walk to a pebbled beach in 4 mins. Useful to also have a dishwasher and washing machine. Thanks for having us.

Lucas home
Lovely family friendly Airbnb - it was very clean, had all the amenities we needed including cot/highchair and toys for our son, host was extremely responsive and helpful! We loved sitting on the terrace for breakfast and playing with our son in the garden. Lixouri was a really nice town, small enough to feel relaxed but with everything we needed. Would happily go back!

Anna Maria's, cozy studio in the heart of Fiscardo
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Anna Maria's apartment in Fiskardo. The apartment is clean and beautifully decorated. It is a very calming environment. This is the second time we have stayed here and would certainly come back again. It is simple but elegant and in a fantastic location for exploring Fiskardo. We met Anna Maria (who is lovely!) There are loads of cats in the square ❤️

Zoe's Suite
Zoe’s Suite is perfect for a couple! It has everything you would need - fully equipped kitchen, secure parking, aircon, king size bed, luxurious shower room - and we had a very comfortable stay. Above all else, it has the most stunning sea views that we enjoyed looking out at all throughout the day, from the moment we woke up in bed to when we had our meals outside. The villa is situated in a great location, just a 10 minute drive from large supermarkets, the main town of Argostoli, and most importantly one of the best sandy beaches in Kefalonia (Makris Gialos)! The village of Lakithra is peaceful and quaint, with a few restaurants, a bar and a delicious pastry shop (Antonis) down the road that you have to try for traditional delicious pastries/cakes. All interactions with Clayde, Panagis and Nancy from HostingMe were great - prompt, friendly, accommodating! We really can’t recommend Zoe’s Suite enough, you’ll love your stay!

Cephalonian Countryside Villa - 5 min from Myrtos
Fantastic villa! It is immaculate, spacious and well equipped. It is in a quiet and peaceful location, but just a short walk from some good restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. The lovely Myrtos beach is just a few minutes drive, and perfect for exploring the centre and North of Kephalonia. Sophie and Ellie were the most amazing hosts, with help and advice, plus wine, treats and even a meal on arrival. Thoroughly recommended!

Olivea Homes-Pearl Villa
Fantastic finale to our holiday! Beautiful style and so many thoughtful details from the welcome pack to the bread, only sadness is we didn’t get a chance to use the amazing BBQ but we hope to be back and invite the village! Christina also extremely helpful.

Unique View House
We had a great time with Stavros and Sofia. The place is beautiful. The views over the sea on the terrasse are stunning. It felt very private, nontheless Stavros was always close for any requests (for example, providing an umbrella for the beach). The apartment was very adequate and we spent great 9 nights here. There are great beaches nearby (although you need a car), and its a good base to explore the island. An absolute gem and we would fully recommend it to anyone!

Maya
We had a very nice stay in this village. Its quite central on the island, so you can reach every place quite fast by car. Its very spacious and has everything you need for a vacation in Kefalonia.

Villa Galini with magnificent sea view
Our hosts were wonderful and so helpful. They booked our taxi for us who met us at the airport and knew exactly where to go. Galini and Dimitris met us at the apartment and showed us around when we arrived. The location and view is amazing. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. The apartment is simple and comfortable for a short stay. They also have a daily cleaning service We would come back and stay longer.

Villa Mare★3 BR★Private Pool★Sea View★Free Parking
Amazing place. There were 4 of us including 2 adult kids. We all had great amount of space including our own bathrooms which is a godsend with 2 adult girls! Kitchen amenities and outside bbq meant nothing was a challenge to cook. Brilliant pool - feel the pictures don’t do it justice - we spent most of our holiday in there! And efficient air con included. Didn’t have a single issue - I was dubious before about the constantly positive reviews - felt too good to be true - but honestly can’t fault anything. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and had such a memorable holiday - would really consider returning!
