Villa is one of 3 in a small gated compound that share facilities such as the pool, bikes and BBQ. It's about a 15minute walk into Sami, we found the safest route was to cross the main road, walk north a short distance and then on to the coast around the northern side of a campsite. It's then a pleasant walk along the coast into Sami. Much better than walking along the main road (no footpaths and mad drivers). Being outside Sami means the site is very peaceful and in the evening you get the sounds of the country - insects, goats, birds etc rather than cars and people.
The villa is well located near the main road network for exploring both the local area and the island. It's about 40mins from the airport and an hour from the north and south of the island. We'd also recommend going on a day boat trip from Sami to an adjacent island. Sami has everything you need to buy stuff to eat in or eat out at one of the many restaurants.
The villa and site are better maintained than others but slightly more lived in than the photos which look like they were taken when new. Enjoyed using the pool, didn't get to use the massive BBQ and loved sitting on the terrace in the evening.
The kitchen equipment was basic and sparse compared to other places we have stayed but functional. Some may miss the absence of a microwave but we preferred that there was a washing machine.
Accommodation comprises two bedrooms upstairs (double and a twin) and a twin downstairs. Two bathrooms, one on each floor, and an open-plan dining / sitting / kitchen area.
Something to be careful of is that you only get one key for the door and the door does latch shut when closed. If the wind catches the door and closes it, and the key is inside, you're locked out. Very easily done!
The main detractor for us, preventing a five star score, were the beds. The family are used to, and prefer, a harder bed but those in the villa were incredibly hard - not great for sleep and back pain.
Something that didn't bother us but might put others off are the stray cats. Kefalonia generally does have a lot of strays, they are everywhere, but there are six which have moved in to the villa compound, beg for food and try and get into the house.
Overall a strong recommendation unless you don't like hard beds, cats or can't cope with being outside the town.
