Holiday rentals in Xenopoulo

Amazing stay would highly recommend. Amazing restaurants within walking distance and hosts are happy to help with any needs and reply quickly.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at this apartment! We were made to feel right at home and the hosts went above and beyond with their hospitality! We loved the tranquility of the place and the surroundings are incredibly picturesque. I would definitely recommend!

Sotiria and her husband are the most kind-hearted and welcoming hosts we’ve ever met! From the moment we arrived—greeted with local honey, olive oil, and wine—they made us feel like family. The cabin is tucked away in a serene part of Kefalonia, surrounded by wild horses, beautiful greenery, and friendly neighbors. Sotiria even treated us to fresh veggies from her garden, so we were well-fed throughout! The apartment is newly renovated and set in a lush garden with olive trees and outdoor tables, perfect for al fresco meals. It’s close to stunning beaches like Koroni, as well as a secluded one down a cliff—a bit tricky to access, but worth it. We had the beach to ourselves! For a peaceful retreat, this is the place. No noise, no traffic-just nature. Sotiria went above and beyond, offering thoughtful advice and car journeys - we felt so cared for. We couldn’t have asked for more and would return in a heartbeat—just the two of us, enjoying the calm, with horses wandering nearby.

Everything was perfect! Starting with Marika and her dad who are extremely kind. Very responsive to our requests or problems. A big thank you to Marika's dad, very discreet and with small touches... the oranges... a treat for fresh juice at breakfast! The house is beautiful, clean, it feels so good there! And the view, I don't even have words to describe how beautiful it is. Poros is a small town just 5 minutes' drive away. There is everything you need: grocery store, pastry shop, butcher, restaurant... Beautiful beaches not far away, we liked Skala and Kako Lagadi. We hope to return to Marika's, as our stay was one of the best we have had with exceptional hosts. The Krstic Family

This was a fantastic place to stay in Kefalonia! The house was very clean and was exactly what was listed in the description. It was nice and peaceful as it was surrounded by beautiful mountains. The host, Marianthi, was very kind, hospitable, and helpful to make our stay on the island as comfortable as possible. I cannot recommend it more!

The villa was perfect for our family holiday with our adult children and partners. Everyone was delighted with their bedroom, view and en-suite bathroom! All squeaky clean! The villa was cleaned and all bedding and towels changed midweek! The pool and gardens are stunning- with plenty of pretty parasols and loungers. Neil and his lovely housekeeper are very friendly and helpful- with fab recommendations for restaurants and things to do! Go to the Olive Lounge! We enjoyed a wine tasting at Gentilini vineyard! So many nice restaurants to choose from- our faves were La Mer and Chefalonia! Neil was very responsive to any message and helpful and was kind enough to let us go into the villa early on Saturday. Perfect base to explore Cephalonia and beaches nearby at Lourdata and near Kanali are beautiful! Although steep walk back up hill and no facilities! We loved our week! Thank you!

What a great find. We stayed for a week, having booked at relatively short notice. The house was ideal: clean, quiet and spacious, with air-conditioning (vital for 40c heat in August), WiFi and full kitchen facilities. The location is a small village so nice and quiet with plenty of on street parking, but only 5 minutes drive from a small beach town with shops, restaurants etc. The whole island can be driven one end to the other in 1:30, so we where not particularly focused on location, but it turned out great, with the aforementioned small town nearby for quiet days or early morning swims, Skala (larger town, lots of restaurants, shops and taverns plus large sandy beach) just 25 mins away, and some amazing quiet shingle beaches with rocks and lots of fish, ideal for snorkeling with a child that gets sand everywhere, just a further 5 mins up the coast. Our host was very friendly and welcoming, checking us in in-person, and available to contact via phone of messages if needed.

We enjoyed our stay here - the host was so warm and hospitable! Highly recommend.
