Europe Villa Io

Πολύ value for money. Ευρύχωρο, καθαρό, μεγάλη πισίνα.

The Villa has everything you need. From a washing machine, to ironing board and all else. The host was kind, attentive and mindfull of our needs! We were greeted with a clean, cosy and spatious accomodation, on top of a hill, surounded by with olive trees. The swimming pool is a highlight, and you could enjoy the city lights in the evening by its side. The location of the villa is perfect for exploration and you can reach every part and every important beach of the island within 30 to 40 minutes. Argostoli is 10 minutes away! We can only thank Lady Europa for her incredibile Villa and we will definetly get back here in the near future.

Easy to access location, amazing indoor and outdoor spaces. Looked after fantastically well by the staff.

The location was quite remote, but we were helped by the staff in finding the villa. The remoteness was great, though, as it was so peaceful and the views spectacular. We overlooked a valley which went down to Argostoli which included sea views. The sunsets were nice behind the mountains and the temperatures in September were hot and bearable. There is an option for a car, which is absolutely necessary, and this came with the villa.

As the villa is self catering there are limited cooking accessories but for a longer stay I would be prepared to pay it forward and buy a pan or frying pan as they're quite cheap at the local Lidl. The only other issue for a non-local is the washing machine instructions are in Greek but nothing a translation app could resolve.

Location and views were amazing!

The location is nice, it's great you have a pool to cool off, the house is a good-sized house. If you're with a kid, you have a yard to play, an apricot tree to eat some apricots, pomegranate, lemons, figs, etc. The bed was soft, I was sinking the mattres and the pillows were hard and big, i had headaches. And just now I realised that the house we had was the other one. We had pictures of another house. There are 3 houses that belong to them. We tried to stay positive, but every day was something new that was not working or we had to find a fix for.. With more care to the things in the house and cleaning and maintenance, our experience would have been better. I was really pissed in the first days with everything that happened. We paid a lot, and others will pay more in the coming days, but they are misleading you with the pictures. If the real pictures were on booking, I would've chosen another location. We had the same bad experience in thasos last year, the property was stunning in pictures, but when we got there everything was in shambles and run down, the pictures were 5 years old at least too... Kefalonia is a very nice island. We tried to make the best of it trough our experiences on the island, and we did not stay too much at the house.

The pictures on booking are about 5 years old or more... everything is old and used. The property is managed by a company in uk so not everything is up to par on what the price they charge is. The fridge did not work, so the perishables we bought on arrival spoiled. They brought an old rusty one that kinda worked, but then bought a new one after 4 days, but when they replaced the old one, they took it with all the food it had...(Only the freezer worked, but it was not making ice, just keeping things cool) They did give us the money back for the food, but we had to go eat at the restaurant in the morning with the baby. When we wanted to use the Ac, we realized the ac's didn't work (2 out of 3, they did call for someone to look at them on the 4th day of our stay). The toaster is not working, has plug for greece, but all the outlets in the house are for europe... everything is really used. It looks like whatever they did not need in their main house was trown in the house for guests. Nothing matches inside house. 3-4 different kinds of spoons, forks, the pans stick, everything in the house was full of hair and brown dust. They mentioned the cleaning team, but we were the cleaning team when we arrived. We were supposed to have slide for the baby, but there was none. The pool was dirty.

Wonderful villa! We had the best holiday ever and planning to come back!
