Best Place We've stayed in 20+ years of renting!

David, Sarah and Family Somerset, England
Review Submitted: August 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The booking process was very easy and extremely efficient, with very prompt replies to emails and the directions to the Villa were the clearest instructions I have ever had to follow. We were met on time and given a very warm welcome – the Villa was spotless and everything we needed to know was explained along with useful local advice about shops on a Sunday.

The Villa was clean, modern, spacious and well equipped with anything you could want from major things like the pool, the air conditioning and DVD player to small things like plenty of tea towels, dishcloths, clothes pegs, toilet rolls and waste bags, etc. So often when you arrive at a self catering property there are none of these. Everything is very well thought out. There is plenty of garden furniture, the garden itself is attractive and the night lighting good. We all loved the pool and the ‘pool man’ did an excellent job. We also enjoyed sitting out on one of the two front balconies in the evening. We used the barbeque a couple of times and it worked well. When we found that the toaster didn’t work properly and the ironing board was broken both items were replaced with brand new ones almost immediately.

The information pack provided by the owners along with information from their local representatives meant we could start relaxing and enjoying ourselves straight away. On other holidays it can take several days to work out where things are, how things work and where to look for the best beaches. We all enjoyed the different beaches for different reasons. Our overall favourite was probably Ammes or ‘the airport beach’ as we called it. The children enjoyed the bigger waves at Lourdas, I enjoyed the water and beauty of Antisamos and my husband liked Trapezaki and St. Thomas (over the headland). We enjoyed Assos, Sami and Antisamos, found the Melessani lake beautiful and liked going across to the Lixouri peninsula on the ferry from Argostoli. We particularly liked the beach at Varahani and had great fish at Taverna Remetzo there.

Our favourite things were the pool, the beaches, the fresh fish and the sunshine! We had a fantastic holiday and very much enjoyed Kefalonia. In more than 20 years of renting accommodation in Britain and Europe this was the best place we have stayed. We would definitely recommend it!

Great Villa!

Colin & Caroline Hullavington, Wiltshire
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This was our first time to Kefalonia. We loved it and we've no doubt we'll return. And when we do, we'll return to Villa Marbirini. We have always previously looked to go somewhere new on each holiday but this villa may have changed that.

We've stayed at plenty of villas/cottages, and this was the best one by a mile. The property description is spot on. The location is just right. This is not just holiday accommodation, this is a real home. It would be quite easy to move in and just stay there! You will find everything you could possibly need.

On arrival, the villa was spotless. We can't think of anything that the owners hadn't sorted out. The villa is very modern, its contents very new. And the pool - oh my God, it was fabulous! (The pool was cleaned every day, too).

The time we spent at the villa was really relaxing. There's something about sitting on the balcony and looking seawards with a cold drink and your feet up!

You get the picture by now...we loved it.

As for Kefalonia, it has some real gems in terms of beaches and attractions. As first-time visitors (and without the time to have done any real homework before going), we followed a lot of the suggestions
the owners made in their information pack. You definitely need a hire car. We were grateful too for the owners' recommendations on a number of tavernas, all of them were worth a visit.

Kefalonia is somewhere you go to relax. It's a beautiful island, the colour of the sea has to be seen to be believed. And we would challenge anyone to find fault with this villa. It's a real credit to the owners. Five stars, no hesitation.

July 2009 at Villa Marbirini

G & E Pyrgos, Greece
Review Submitted: July 18, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
On making enquiries about booking the responses we received were immediate and the professionalism of the service was very good. The directions were very accurate and the photos especially were very helpful. The representatives who met us were on time and they were very helpful throughout our holiday. On arrival the Villa was clean and in very good condition. The welcome hamper was really nice and it contained very important things for the first hours. The information pack was helpful and answered our queries about the facilities, beaches, tavernas, places to visit, etc. We had barbeques every night, which was one of the highlights of the facilities for us.

When we first saw the Villa on the website we had some minor doubts if the descriptions were accurate and true but the fact is that we found the Villa and the facilities in better condition than we expected. The most enjoyable aspects of our stay at the Villa were the pool, the garden (because we have children), the barbeque and the beaches. We liked the local beach of Agios Thomas a lot and most of all Myrtos. If we visit the island again Villa Marbirini would be our first choice - we would definitely recommend it.

Kefalonia is a beautiful island with fantastic beaches and very picturesque places that you must visit. It was the third time we have visited the island for our holidays but it is the first time we have stayed in a villa. We enjoyed it so much that from now on, everywhere we go for holidays our first option would be to book a villa and hope it would be as good as the one we have been to for the first time, Villa Marbirini.

July 2009, Giorgos and family, Pyrgos, Greece.
