Luxury Villa Just Minutes from the Award Winning 'Turtle Beach'

Our villa is designed to give you the comforts of home, so you will have a TV and Wi-Fi, a dining table for 6 indoors and a patio table for an additional 8 outside by the pool. A fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher and washing machine so you don’t need to cram the suitcase with clothes for every single day.

We have 8 sun loungers around the pool so everyone can soak up the beautiful Kefalonia sunshine. We also have two large 3 seater settees which mean you can relax indoors too and the air conditioning will keep everyone cool

Fancy a barbeque, no problem. With lots of small supermarkets in Katelios or Skala or the larger supermarkets near Argostoli fresh food for that BBQ is easily available.

Sleep in comfort; the master bedroom has a double bed, en-suite bath/shower and toilet facilities. Sit on the large balcony and enjoy a morning coffee while you watch the sun rise from behind the nearby hills or watch it set over the sea and the nearby island of Zante.

The second double bedroom is downstairs and has direct access to the pool area, so any keen swimmers can use this without disturbing the sleepy heads of the family. It also has easier access for the less mobile.

Upstairs we also have a further two bedrooms each with two single beds. A cot is available on request. Finally to avoid the wash room arguments there are two walk in shower rooms and toilets one upstairs and one downstairs in addition to the en-suite .

Outside the property has its own private gardens, a traditional style BBQ and secure parking as well as the pool and large pool terrace.

We would highly recommend the use of a car both for ease of access to the villa and to make the most of your stay on the island. The Villa has ample parking for two cars.

We are just back from the most wonderful week at Villa Eirene. The villa is so well equipped and very comfortable. The children loved the pool and spent most of the week splashing around.The loved exploring the area, we would have liked to try the local restaurant but it was fully booked, so I would recommend booking in advance.Thank you Tony.

A warm June

The last two weeks of June were very warm not dropping below 30 degrees but Villa Eirine offers the perfect respite with the aircon and the lovely pool. On the day it hit 38 we spent it taking advantage of those facilities. It was a lovely well equipped villa and all the booking arrangements went without a hitch. The village was perfect and the local taverna Avli Ratzkali was brilliant for both food and company, the host Irene made us feel like 'locals'. Just for a change the beach taverna was not far behind in its hospitality and as a consequence we limited our touring. The drive up the coast to Poros was very pleasant and Skala itself offers a lot of variety. My advice would be that a car is essential for this villa situated as it is in a beautiful but very hilly part of Kefalonia.

Lovely quiet location for a family vacation. Managed to get to see baby turtles hatching and going to the water for the first time on the local beach. Amazing place.

Wonderful!

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at this Villa and are already looking at returning in the near future! This is one of the cleanest villas we have ever stayed in and to have new bed linen and towels midway through our stay was such a bonus. Our party consisted of two grandparents in their 70`s, a 20 and a 17 year old and us two parents. We didn`t hire a car as nobody was keen on driving, but the taxis were so reasonable and easy to book that we never had a problem visiting Skala, Katelios or Argostoli. Kamini beach is stunning and you could swim out for a long way before it got too deep. The loungers were reasonably priced for the day and the restaurant there sold delicious lunches and refreshing beers! We did struggle with the walk back up the hill to the villa, but we were in the middle of a heatwave during our stay. We ate at a local taverna, Avli, many times during our stay and were treated so well and served the most delicious foods. The family who own this are just the nicest people you could meet! Villa Eirene was perfect for all our needs. If I could make one suggestion it would be to make the steps into the pool clearer or to have a short hand rail to make entering and leaving the pool a little easier. The communication we had with Antony throughout the booking process and with Will during our stay was great. If you are thinking of booking this villa for your next holiday, please do you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Lovely property in fantastic location

Villa Eirene is a fantastic property, it has everything you could possibly need and is of the highest standard and cleanliness. The pool was perfect at the end of a hot day, proximity to the beach was perfect although not for the faint hearted at the end of a hot day if walking of after a cocktail from the lovely beach restaurant! We were given some excellent advice by the pool maintenance man of rock jumping options. Boat hire from Yammas in Katelios throughly recommended to explore the secret coves, Myrtos Beach is the most stunning in the island and para gliding from here also recommended. A brilliant villa and 5 star hosts. A best holiday ever from my three 14-18 year olds!

Thorpe Family Stay

We chose this property as it was walking distance from where my father lives. The property was clean and tidy on arrival. Instructions from the airport and how to enter the property were very easy to follow. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival which came in very handy. I would definitely recommend this property to a large family but would also recommend car hire. The nearest beach was very clean and tidy with sun beds and a reasonably priced snack bar (I highly recommend the tuna salad sandwich). There are only two things that I will touch on 1) The pool is not heated. In the later months (we stayed in May) this wouldn’t be a problem but it was far too cold for us, especially my two year old Granddaughter. 2) Our party was 7 adults and 1 child unfortunately there was never enough hot water for us all to have a warm shower. Other than those two vey small things our holiday was very enjoyable. The Villa was excellent. Thanks for letting us stay.

Fantastic villa, two mins from the beach

Just returned from a lovely holiday in Kefalonia. Fantastic villa, spacious, had everything you needed, up the road from the most gorgeous beach. Such a lovely island and we will definitely be returning. Tony who owns the villa couldn’t have been more accommodating in the lead up to the holiday with the uncertainty of whether we would travel due to the green, amber and red categories. Car hire is needed to get the most of the island as there are lovely places to visit. Skala is about ten mins away in the car where there are plenty of restaurants and shops to enjoy.

Villa was perfect for family

The whole bookings process was so amazingly easy, the villa is well kept and spacious, good facilities - the freezer dispensing ice and child water and aircon were especially lovely, with the heat. The pook is well loomed after and was well enjoyed. The Beach was much further away than expected and was down a steep windy road. We didnt hire a car but local taxi companies are excellent,

Bliss!

April in Kefalonia is quiet but that suited us perfectly - as did this lovely villa. Skala & Katelios are just a short drive away and both had what we needed even out of season - admittedly for us that simply involved a supermarket in Skala & a restaurant in Katelios (Medusa, wonderful!). The villa's facilities include everything you need for a comfortable stay, the kitchen had everything required to cook for a family of six. The owners could not have been more helpful in assisting with our trip too. Bliss! Highly recommended!

Truly Magnificent

Well, what can I say? All of our group fell in love with the Island and that was in no small part due to the lovely accomodation we were in. The Villa is really superb, spacious, very well maintained and really well equipped. Everything we could ask for was there and we all agreed that that we would happily come back to this Villa. The star of the show is the huge outdoor area and lovely pool, which has plenty of Loungers and chairs for all. We had a group ranging from 65 years old to 2 year old and we all found it absolutely great. Tony was also great in the run up to the holiday, replying to messages quickly, offering great tips on Car Hire, supermarkets and restaurants and generally being an excellent host. Amazing Island, lovely people and fantastic Villa.

Tranquility First Class

Just returned from this great villa. If you want quiet (other than the sound of the chirping cicadas!) then this villa will not disappoint. The views are amazing and the villa has everything you could want and need. The internet is ok and as the TV operates via the internet it can be temperamental, but it worked a lot of the time and had a great selection of all channels! There is one taverna on the beach open of an evening as well as the day-'Anemos' that is walking distance (although a hilly walk back) but no mini markets in walking distance. A car is definitely essential for the whole holiday. Would definitely return again. The owner is extremely obliging and readily contactable for anything you need to query. You will not be disappointed staying here!!

Great villa, excellent location

Many thanks for the 'loan' of your lovely villa. Had a great time, quiet area, close to the beautiful Turtle beach. Lovely sea views from the villa. A great welcome pack of food items on arrival and the mid week clean and bed linen change was greatly appreciated. The villa had everything (and more) that we needed. Great restaurant on turtle beach for lunch and/or dinner. Good choice for us vegetarians in all restaurants. As only 10 minutes drive from Skala and Katelios can soon be in local towns. Bonus for family was a great local dog 'Bes' who was a regular amusing visitor.
