Family-friendly holiday rentals in Cephalonia

Mirka and Denis were so helpful and kind.Loved the location. hot tub and pool were great! close to great restaurants and markets.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay. The villa is even nicer than pictures show, with the pool & gorgeous views of the hills & sea. Very helpful hosts who met us on arrival, responded to all queries and gave us lots of local recommendations. Definitely recommend hiring a car to get around and exploring the beautiful island. Hope to visit again!

Villa Aris was a beautiful villa with everything you need. We had lovely sea views and a beautiful patio and pool area with comfortable seating! Was great to have air-con throughout and we loved the feature of electronic shutter blinds in all the bedrooms which blocked out the light completely (a huge plus for families, particularly if you have younger children). Each bedroom had its own private patio which was a great feature. Bathrooms were modern and clean. Very convenient to also have an outside shower and tap for washing the sand off from a day at the beach, as well as a drying rack outside to hang costumes and towels. The villa was private and located well to explore the island. Definitely recommend it!

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.

Our stay in skala was wonderful. The air b n b has a fantastic location, met the needs of our family of 6. It had a gorgeous view, access to the hotel pool which is just a few steps from the front door. It is a short 5 -10 min drive to amazing beaches, restaurant’s and the center of skala! Pano and his team are very responsive, helpful with everything we needed while we were there! The house was clean, kitchen has a great washing machine and has a two level patio! The third bedroom door access is just off the main level patio which is good for larger families with older kids who may want some space while taking in the beautiful sea views. They also helped us with travel to and from the airport and were available for other rides and tours around the island as needed. We would definitely rent from Pano and his team again! Many thanks

Our stay at Spiros’s place was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, the hospitality was outstanding. Spiros went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, offering thoughtful touches and ensuring we had everything we needed. His warm and friendly demeanor truly made our experience special. The accommodation was clean, cozy, and exactly as described, but it was Spiros’s exceptional care and attention to detail that stood out the most. We highly recommend staying here and would happily return in the future!

our stay at Anna's place in Kefalonia was amazing. the house was beautiful, extremely clean. and Anna's mom was soo sweet and helpful. she was there during check-in and provided everything we needed. we didn't have shampoos and conditioners and shower gel in the Airbnb, so when I asked Anna, her mom immediately came and provided those. they are the sweetest hosts. only thing I can recommend is: Google maps shows incorrect location when you put the address, please add in Airbnb instructions to put the place in Google maps that takes you the correct location for this address. that way it will be easier to find for the guest. we had some difficulty finding the place, but the host was super responsive so we were able to make it.

We had a lovely stay here. The villa is private but so close to the neighbouring hotel that we could use the pool (less than a minute's walk) and be sociable whenever we wanted. The bar and cafe by the pool are also great and the staff very friendly so it was an excellent place to hang out. We hired a car (recommended) and also visited nearby beaches, coves and restaurants in Skala, of which there are plenty. The cove at the bottom of the hill by the villa is also great for swimming, snorkelling and quiet sunbathing. The villa itself was perfect for our family of four, with everything we needed for self-catering, a beautiful sea view and a big terrace with loads of comfy furniture. Thank you for an enjoyable week!

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.

Everything about Cottage by the Sea is special, from Kia (the owner) to the location, the surroundings, the house, neighbours - EVERYTHING! The house is perfect. Beautifully decorated, lacking nothing. The aircons were a saving grace! The beach is on your doorstep. And Atheras beach is simply stunning, hugged between two hills and the landmark rocky island in the middle of the entrance to the bay. We had 4 blissful weeks in Kia's house as a family of 5. The sea, sun and peace did wonders for our wellbeing. Really enjoyed the lemons and grapes from the garden. Oh, and the goats! Ethos, Pathos and Logos visited almost everyday (destroying Kia's beautiful Delicious Monsters, no less) but they were a special feature and lingers in our memories. A special mention to Makis, who took us out on his fishing boat for a day to other beaches close by. Kia is a warm, efficient host, non-intrusive and yet anticipating every need of her guests. Highly recommend!! We'll come again.

A beautiful apartment in a quiet place in Sami. It has all the necessities and a nice balcony.

We loved our week at Emmanouella's. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. The fruit trees and small garden delighted us. The view was beautiful and our baby loved playing with the many toys on site. The kitchen is very well-equipped. We spent two months in Greece and it's really one of our favorite houses. We felt at home there.

Communication with the host and check in went very fine. The house is big on a beautiful location. It has two terraces, both really nice and inside you got everything you need. There is a bit noise coming from the road, apart from that all was fine.

Maria greeted us and showed us the immaculate place decorated with unique crochet art! The wrap around balcony overlooking the bay provided a perfect breakfast spot and a great place to relax after a full day at the many beautiful beaches close by. It is close to downtown Argostoli, and Lambros provided a very useful guidebook which we used all the time and enjoyed many of the restaurants, beaches and bakeries he had recommended. Maria is a great baker and we were very lucky to have tasted her apple cake! Highly recommend this place.

Enjoyed our stay in a great location. Spacious bedrooms, basic equipment in kitchen. Good Wi-Fi. Useful outdoor space. Flexible checking in and out worked well.

We can’t recommend a stay at Kostas’s house enough. We have had the most wonderful, peaceful, comfortable, relaxing week. The house is in a great setting 10 minutes walk from local brilliant restaurants, and 15 minutes walk into Fiscardo. The house is perfect inside and out, very comfortable, clean and quiet. The outside space was lovely and Kostas was extremely helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.

A beautiful modern home in a quiet village that’s 15 minutes from the most beautiful beaches in Kefalonia. Niko was an excellent host and ensured we had everything we needed and more. The home was beautifully furnished and comfortable, and the soaking pool was a bonus for the very hot days. We would love to stay here again!

We had such a lovely stay at Grace’s. We booked both apartments for a family group, which worked well. The villa is charming with the most beautiful seaviews. We spent a lot of time just watching boats coming and going in the changing light. It has a very homely feel, with plenty of places to sit in comfort. Aircon & mosquito nets were very welcome. Pool is small but enough to cool off in. Grace was very proactive with information prior to arrival, which was helpful and very responsive with any queries. We absolutely loved Kioni, couldn’t get enough of the warm, clear sea. We hired a boat from George a couple of days, and swam in little bays, would thoroughly recommend. Good choice of authentic and fine dining. Would suggest discussing access if important for your group, as it’s not easy for anyone with mobility issues. Steps from parking, and down to the pool and although we were able to walk comfortably to the village, it proved too much for my parents. We would definitely go back.

We were a group of 6 celebrating a 60th birthday. The villa was perfect for our needs - spacious and comfortable with a lovely pool area for evening dining and daytime relaxing. The villa was clean on arrival and was cleaned really well during our stay. Fern was helpful and responsive throughout. We had a great holiday!

The Green Villa in Evreti was an amazing find. The views across to Ithica were fantastic. It is very private and the pool was lovely. The Villa is beautifully furnished and well equipped and the bed was very comfortable, which isn't always the case with Greek beds in our experience. A car is essential for this location but it is a short drive into Fiscardo or Magganos for supermarkets and many places to eat. Natalie was very helpful with anything we needed.

Wonderful villa in a beautiful peaceful secluded setting..walking distance to the nearby village of Magganis. Good restaurants. Not too expensive. Sheep bells in the valley below. Sunsets over the sea. The pool was chill in April but we all got in, lovely clean and well maintained. Very well looked after grounds with lovely plants and trees (olives, almonds, orange and lemons). Great fake grass lawn for football/games. Supermarket in village (expensive local supermarkets....recommend big shop in Lidl Argostoll for essentials if self catering). Beautiful beaches nearby. Our favourites Emplisi and Atelies in north and Antisamos east. Myrtos and Petani impressive. Bays around the Fiskardo lighthouse lovely for a cheeky dip.

We had a great time at Joy's. Beautiful apartments in a very well-maintained complex with awesome views. The great breakfast (coffee, juice, croissants and a selection of omelettes or porridge) sweetens the start of the day and Joy and her whole team go one better. Super helpful and friendly, they create a great atmosphere to feel good. Thank you very much. Especially outside the main season, the kitchen with the beautiful private seating area outside invites you to linger, as most restaurants are available. Recommendations go out! We will definitely be back. Kind regards

Family of 4 with 2 teens. One of the best Airbnbs we have had, and we have had some great ones. The house is very charming, traditionally furnished, spotless and everything works. Fresh fruit, local honey and oil (+ tea, coffee, v well equipped kitchen). Beautiful outside space, pristine pool, great views. Easy roll down (need a car) to Argostolli. Good quality, reasonable Taverna very close. Sotiris is a great host. Came from town late in the eve to check us in. Came and cleaned the pool checked the garden. Friendly and and really good recommendations for day trips and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Very nice villa in an unbeatable location - right on the beach, short walk to restaurants, bars, shop, watersports. Pool is small, but it’s a lovely place to sit out - poolside furniture must have been replaced since other reviews, we found it fine. Terrace is a great place to eat dinner or take in the view. Some more comfortable chairs here would have helped, but it’s a superb setting. The little garden is a bonus, with banana palms and lime and orange trees. Host was slow to respond before we arrived, but then very helpful with instructions, late check-out and dealing with household rubbish (dumpsters arrive and disappear sporadically). The beach is a beautiful place to sunbathe and also to swim, especially in the mornings when it is glassy flat. Perfect resort for us - plenty of eats/drinks but relatively undeveloped/non-touristy. A few snags stop it being ‘luxury’ - the kitchen units a bit beaten up, our bedside lights didn’t work - but aircon and showers were excellent
