Amazing vacation in villa Mela!!!

We spent 1 magical week in the villa. Such peace and quiet, a wonderful vacation, we haven't had it in a long time. The villa is perfectly equipped. The pool is clean. The sound of the bells of the goats and sheep around was extremely pleasant and calming!!! Would be better the main gate to be opened and closed by remote control! And maybe some flowers and trees to be planted!

Villa Demeter

We had a lovely stay. The Villa is really well equipped and spacious. The grounds and pool area were very relaxing and pretty, the pictures don’t do them justice. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend this villa. If there was any suggestion I could make it’s that pool towels would be a really nice idea. The days of needing to bring your towels with you is kind of outdated and less than ideal. We ended up buying some cheap towels from the supermarket to use and threw away before we left. Overall though this is a lovely villa and we had a great time.

Villa Astoria

The Villa was absolutely beautiful. Very clean and well kept. Whenever we had questions help was only one text away. There was a cleaning service 1/2 way through the trip and a pool cleaner came regularly. It was a great place for a relaxing vacation. The Villa was also located very close to Kamania beach which is our favorite beach on the island. The only knock is that the beds were not the most comfortable, but they also could have been worse.

Couples retreat

Ken and Bernie were awesome hosts! The property is beautiful, the rooms are very comfortable and extremely clean, the balconies have magnificent views and are great for meals or to have a drink at the end of the night watching the moon shimmer off the ocean. Highly recommend!

Great vacation home

Enjoyed the house and Inessa (house keeper) was great. She came 3 days a week and the pool guy maybe everyday. Really good location. I wish they would upgrade to smart TV. Dish was very seldom working for anything, let alone english speakers. Great balconies for boat watching. Just spent 3 weeks at Aphrodite. We explored all of Kefalonia. Assos was the best town. Poros and Agia Efimia were great also. Argostoli is a big town, but nice to walk around and the big turtles are there about 11 am by the fish boats. Vallsami (sp) boat tours was great to Ithaca.
