Kefalonia is amazingly unspoilt by the ravages of mass tourism and has wonderful coast lines and safe beaches with a relatively calm sea perfect for snorkelling or family fun. It is an island of contrasts with Mount Eanos in the centre with its forests, eagles and wild horses. The lush greenery is supported by underground water systems which have caves and lakes to explore. There are several wine factories that allow visits, the most famous being Robola. Wonderful honey, olives and grapes, citrus fruits, figs and pomegranates are grown. The port of Argostoli has visiting yachts and a main square with tavernas and coffee bars. Nightlife is low key with an abundance of tavernas, some with music and traditional greek dancing. Kaligata and Kourkoumelata are traditional villages in the South with pretty gardens adorned with sweet smelling flowers, jasmine and bourganvillea.There is a mini market and children's playground and interesting churches, close to Avythos blue flag beach.

Kefalonian Gem

aldoeh Great Haywood, Staffs.
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
This is an absolute gem. Situated in olive groves, well away from the crowds. Yaggy's House was exceptionally clean and well equipped. Chris and John were attentive hosts. Would recommend this property without reservation.

A car is probably essential but the nearest village and taverna can be reached easily on foot..

Yaggy's Apartment

Lynn, Paul and Ellie Jarrow, Tyne & Wear, England
Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
5th visit to Kefalonia and 2nd stay at Serene Villa. Property is only 5-10 mins drive from the airport and set back approx 800m off the main road along an unsurfaced road - consequently ideal if you are looking for somewhere peaceful and away from it all to relax/chill with superb views of Avithos Bay and surrounding countryside. Apartment is spotlessly clean and well maintained and facilities are excellent for disabled and able bodied alike.

Hiring a car is advisable if you want to make the most of your visit and Avithos beach is within walking distance – but beware the uphill return! Some excellent restaurants within a short drive – including Preview, Fois and Byrons (latter in Lakithra). Animal owners/lovers should visit the Kefalonia Animal Trust based in Lakithra (details in the folder in the apartment) who do amazing work caring for and re-homing a range of neglected and abandoned animals including cats, dogs, donkeys, goats and more.

The owners, John and Christine, are friendly and helpful without being obtrusive. We have a 5 year-old and would definitely recommend Serene for families with young children. The villa’s peaceful location may not suit teenagers or those in their 20’s hankering for excitement/nightlife – but to be honest if that’s what you want from a holiday maybe Kefalonia isn’t for you.

In summary, a wonderful stay (..again) and looking forward to returning in 2010.

Fabulous Serene Villa

Joy and family criccieth, wales
Review Submitted: November 1, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Serene Villa is amazing. Kefalonia is wonderful. What can we say? The apartment, pool, and facilities and wonderful hosts were exactly as described! Clean, bright, well equipped and very comfortable living accomodation, beautiful gardens and pool area, helpful and welcoming hosts.The views from the balcony were wonderful. It was the perfect stress-free base for a relaxing holiday gently exploring the beauty of Kefalonia and we would recommend it to anyone.We particularly appreciated the airport transfers, and accompanied trips to local eateries. It was a quiet and away from it all place which is what we wanted but everything we needed in terms of shops and tavernas was easily accessible. Fabulous! Wish we were still there.

the best holiday location abroad we've ever had

Graeme and Hilary Sussex, UK
Review Submitted: August 30, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Serene Villa is a gem of a place. I would be surprised if you could find a better location, as beautiful apartment and the most welcoming and genuine hosts in Christine and John anywhere. John and Christine go 'above the line' in terms of making sure you have the best holiday you can have. They transport you to and from the airport on arrival and departure and provide a welcome pack of food and drinks on your first day.

The apartment, garden and pool area is spotlessly clean.

The apartment is tucked away amongst the olive groves and vineyards, with a lovely view of the sea from the front balcony. The villa is off the road and a 10-15 minute walk to the village. If its peace and quiet your after with a relaxing swimming pool set in a lovely garden, then this is the place for you. It is also in a great location from where you can explore all of the Island. There are plenty of beaches nearby, the closest being about a 10 minute walk. there are also lovely walks around the olive groves and vineyards from the villa from which you can get fantastic views of the mountains behind.

Serene Villa surpased our expectations, we will definitely be going back again, maybe for a month next time.

You'll not be disappointed.
