A beautiful home on a fabulous island!
By Dave23 on 04-Jun-2026What can we say! A fabulous villa in a stunning location, with all the comforts of home and more. Probably the best equipped villa that we have stayed in. We will most certainly be returning in the very near future. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us.
Home from Home 10/10 Excellent
By Vickie H on 05-Aug-2025Amazing villa, had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable family holiday. Pool was amazing, waking up to the views was a dream. Pool was in the shade from around 7pm, which was perfect for an evening swim to cool down without worrying about the kids burning. The welcome hamper was such an amazing touch as we arrived late in the day so all the shops had closed. Would 100% recommend this villa for a family holiday and we will definitely be visiting again! Thanks to Irene the amazing host for letting us stay and to Elaine the fab cleaner who was so lovely. Travelled with family and young children Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 10/10 Excellent
Home away home with stunning sea views
By Alison Green on 18-Aug-2024The villa was perfect for our family group. The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed. The whole villa was so well equipped, the owners had thought of everything. As the person who does the cooking on holiday, having all the kitchen equipment you would expect to have in your own home was wonderful, and very rare in a holiday villa. Plus the little touches like a full stock of herbs, the wonderful starter basket of goodies and a folder full of local hints and tips was really appreciated. The villa was spotless on our arrival, and Elaine the housekeeper was so thorough and helpful, we really enjoyed our quick chats with her. We would definitely recommend the villa to friends and family and if we do return to Kefalonia we'd love to stay again.

A fabulous villa with stunning views
By Mrs Anne Whitehurst on 10-Aug-2024We had a great stay in your beautiful villa with its fabulous views and amenities and really enjoyed our first visit to Kefalonia with a good mix of days out to local beaches, trips by car to Sami and by boat to Ithaca, relaxing by the pool over scrabble and cards, as well as dinner at the restaurants in Skala or at the villa.

Fabulous!
By Sue Mason on 29-Jun-2024This was our 12th holiday at Villa Ambelonas and it was just as good as our very first visit! The villa is so well equipped, its like home from home. Spotlessly clean, so comfortable, and the views over the sea and Skala are stunning. The ‘Welcome Pack’ is waiting for us when we arrive and is a wonderful thought after a long journey - a lovely cuppa! The owners Irene and Rob, are exceptionally helpful and Elaine who looks after the villa in Kefalonia is wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful secluded villa for a relaxing holiday.
