If you need a bit more from your holiday than relaxing by the pool or beach then there are many places worth visiting; villages such as Assos and the beautiful harbour of Fiscardo which especially in summer attracts many yachting enthusiasts. Also worth a visit is the beautiful church of Agios Gerasimos, the Drogarti caves and the Melissani Lake or a day trip to Ithaca. The dramatic Mount Ainos, 1628m, & its surrounding National Park provides excellent walking opportunities, particularly in the spring & Autumn, & is home to the islands native wild horses, eagles and osprey The famous Robola vineyards are found in the nearby Omala Valley.

About Kefalonia: With only 32,000 resident islanders during the winter time. Lefkas to the north and Zakynthos to the south the island is firmly on a tourist trail and is growing. Despite the annual influx of visitors, mainly English, the island is so big it is still possible to get away to places where you are unlikely to meet a soul for days. Vast tracts of forest cloak the rugged limestone landscape, Mt. Ainos is the highest point, 1628 m. Kefalonia has much to offer to the visitor: caves and lakes of unique beauty, long beaches, bays, gulfs, some of the best shores in Europe.

Lixouri is the capital of Palliki the penisular of Cephalonia opposite Argostoli and is connected by a local ferry. Sami and Poros are the main transport links to Kefalonia, Sami more recently famous for becoming the site for a rebuild of old Argostoli in the Kefalonia box office hit film 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin'.

Lovely peaceful stay at Villa Argante

Location close to airport avoiding a long drive on the island roads. Close to Argostoli by car and walking distance to local village amenities. Fabulous and generous welcome pack on arrival. Villa was very clean and contacts on hand to resolve any problems. Would thoroughly recommend for a relaxing family holiday.

Relaxing holiday at Villa Argante

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Argante. It is well located and has a wonderful view. We found it to be very well equipped, the whole villa was extremely clean and the pool was lovely. The outside and pool lighting made it very atmospheric in the evening. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic Villa

5 star across the board for this Villa, everything you could need and more, lots of space, everything you want in a home if you just wanted to lock yourself away for a few days and soak up the sun and the lovely little, growing village that is Lakithra. We did that on several occasions. So much so we curtailed many of our travel plans just to chill out and enjoy the surroundings. we will be booking this villa again; the pool is amazing.

Lovely villa in a great location

We stayed at this Villa in July. Great location from which to explore Kefalonia and a lovely well maintained pool. Villa was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. Fantastic welcome pack on arrival, the cold beer was much appreciated! Nearby bakery and also good places to eat in Lakithra. Lovely views over Argostoli in the evening from the balcony. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Villa in great location

We have just returned from 2 weeks at Villa Argante. It was amazing in every way. The Villa is immaculate and very well equipped. It is very spacious and comfortable with a lovely open lounge diner. Beds are very comfortable too. Air conditioning in every room. Very private with no neighbours overlooking the pool. The only noises we heard were church bells and farm animals from next door. Location is great as with a small well stocked shop, cocktail bar, cafe, bakery and 3 restaurants (2 grills and pizza/grill house) within a few mins easy flat walk. Only about 15 mins from airport so a car is not essential unless you wanted to explore or go to beaches (but there are lots of taxis about). We definitely will be returning.

Kefalonia First Timers

Our 2020 holiday to Kefalonia was cancelled (Covid) so we were really pleased to be finally making it and Villa Argante surpassed all our expectations. The location, accommodation, gardens, pool and welcome pack all exceeded our expectations which were pretty high to start with. Lakithra is well placed and has all the services in the village you could possibly need and additionally there are three large supermarkets within a ten minute drive on the road to Argostoli. The bakery and pizzeria are a five minute stroll and the Obelix Grill House, our favourite, is about the same which was perfect for a beer drinking driver. There are plenty of tavernas and cafes in the area to meet all tastes and budgets. Argostoli is well worth a visit both in the daytime and evenings. During the daytime the presence of a cruise ship will indicate a slightly more crowded experience but the turtles are a treat. Asia Effimia and Sami were also visited and we used Lourdas beach for the most part as being able to park close to your attended sunbed (8 euros a set) with a number of tavernas was too convenient. The late auction for sunbed and beach bar licences meant that in mid-June many of the smaller beaches still lacked these facilities. Overall a superb holiday in a thoroughly recommended Villa,

Lovely villa in good location

The villa was clean and well equipped. There were lovely views, especially from the balcony. The pool was lovely. There were nice tavernas and restaurants a short walk away, a convenience store and bakery in the village. There were 3 supermarkets within a 15 minute drive. Nowhere on the island was more than an hour’s drive.

Fantastic

Would echo the comments below. Just back from a week stay at Villa Argente with in-laws and two children (aged 9 and 12). The villa is very spacious with beautiful views over to Agostoli. The location is great with enough nearby restaurants to cater for the week, and a local mini-market with sufficient supplies. The villa was, pleasantly, well-equipped, especially with kitchen utensils which can often be lacking in other properties we've rented. A hire car is a must for those wanting to see more of the island. The villa is well placed for trips to Sami, the caves and a multitude of beaches. We went to a beach near the airport in the evening, which was lovely, but spent a day at Kamina beach which was fantastic. While the villa is close to the airport, there are no noise disturbances at all from planes, which are barely noticeable. Communication with the owner was excellent and they were very accommodating (thank you). From all of our perspectives, a faultless holiday.

Villa Argante

Villa Argante was undoubtedly the best villa we have ever stayed in. It is so well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The view from the huge upstairs balcony is breathtaking and the pool is gorgeous. The villa is set within a lovely colourful garden. The location is also good. Only a short ride from the airport means you can start enjoying your holiday immediately!! Lakithra is a lovely village with several restaurants within walking distance and a lovely bakery which we used daily. We rented a car for the entire holiday and I would recommend this to explore the many sites Kefalonia has to offer. We would return in a heartbeat.

Tired and outdated sadly

This was our second stay in this villa and it has sadly deteriorated since our first visit. Needs a big revamp to bring to modern times. Sheets and towels need renewing and furniture updating honestly also CD/ cassette player is totally outdated. Desperately need proper wine, gin, beer glasses to replace the mish mash are there now. BBQ all needs replacing with proper utensils. We had a lovely week here but for what you charge to rent compared with villas we stay in elsewhere Villa Argante really needs to up its game.

Highly Recommended

Villa Argante was just perfect for my family of 3 adults and 2 children (14 and 11). The location has everything you could need within easy walking distance although I do recommend hiring a car to further explore Kefalonia. Communication with David was first class. From the moment of arrival to leaving we enjoyed the Villa's space, quality and location together with the warm and friendly welcome we received from Isobel. The villa is spacious, very well furnished and also has comfortable beds! The upper balcony is perfect for chilling out and soaking up the fantastic view of Argostoli and the sunsets. We really did not want to leave and hope to return to Villa Argante again in the not too distant future. Thank you David for allowing us to share your lovely Villa!

Awesome end of season break!

Weve visited this villa several times now as a family and it's safe to say we love it! The villa is stunning with awesome views and has literally every utensil youd need to have a great holiday! We came at the end of the season and expected cloudy days but we were wrong pretty much 26/27 degree weather all week with a couple of incredible overnight storms to watch from the amazing terrace upstairs, perfect to watch playing cards and having a vino or two! Isobelle was lovely too if we needed anything she didnt hesitate to help which we really appreciated! Any family/friend group would love this villa it's pretty much perfect! Jen

Perfect stay

Many thanks to David, Elaine and Isobel for a wonderful stay. The villa is in a lovely location with fabulous views. The villa is beautifully designed and extremely well-equipped, the air con is good, and the pool delightful. It's all very clean both outside and in, and a very comfortable place to stay. Our flight was too early for us to check in, but we were able to drop off our luggage which was a big help, and we met David and Elaine's lovely daughter and family who were very kind. We were discombobulated after a very early flight, and they made sure we were OK, put our luggage safe and gave us a very welcome cold bottle of water from the fridge, and some great tips for going to Argostoli and Lassi - and Lidl! The welcome pack was so useful, and had a great selection and wonderful local honey. Isobel kindly called in the next day to make sure we had everything we needed, she was very helpful and we had a lovely chat, and she gave us some very useful local info as well. It was great to know she was on hand if we had had any problems. We visited a local restaurant just up the road, En Kefallinia, which was very good, and had a fun time driving all over the island - Lakithra is well-situated for several beaches as well as the main town. David recommended a local car hire firm who were extremely helpful, and reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would love to return if we get the chance.

Great family holiday

Short transfer, clean lovely Villa and pool, plenty of sun beds and shaded areas. Short walk to the restaurants, bar, cake shop,(yummy) , bakers or stay longer in the pool and have a takeaway. If you need a taxi try Niki or Panos and their card is near the Books in the villa they are very lovely and charge a fair price. We came away feeling very grateful we booked this villa.

Since the very first time of renting this property, we have felt at home. It's location is perfect for a quiet relaxed holiday.

Amazing property with outstanding views!

We had a fabulous stay at Villa Argante. There were five of us in total with an adult with additional needs. The villa catered for us perfectly. Spacious rooms and plenty of outdoor space to relax in meant we could all do our own thing or be together. We particularly enjoyed moving to the upper terrace early evening for aperitif and to watch the sun go down. We appreciated the beautiful roof and lounge furniture up there which is not yet shown in the pictures. The pool was fab and we used it every day. We also appreciated the air con later on in the evening. Lakithra is a nice wee village and we made good use of the local tavernas on at least three occasions and the food was very good and the service friendly. We also hired cars and it was just a short drive to Argostoli and nearby beaches and a good base to tour the rest of the island. Also it was great to have Isobel coming to clean for us and it was good to know she was close by if we needed help with anything. We would very much like to come back.

Wonderful villa and location

Firstly many thanks to Dave and Elaine for allowing us to rent their beautiful villa. We have stayed in Lakithra many times but this was our first at Villa Argente, what a great find!! The location for the village is great and the views off the balcony stunning. On arrival there was a super welcome pack ( always a bonus) and within an hour Isobel the local manager called to check al was ok. We had a 3 yr old with us and the layout was greatly child friendly and the pool excellent. Really and honestly could not find fault, we had a great holiday in a great villa Many thanks again, hopefully see you again in 2019
