We stayed for a week in September in Ollivia Villa (2 adults 3 kids 3-5-7 years old). The villa is amazing, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We were afraid that the kids would have easy access to the pool because the bedrooms have a door that opens directly to the pool area. However, those doors are very heavy and difficult to open even for my 7 year old. The breakfast was the best part of our day! It is an unique experience to have a personal chef prepare our food just the way we wanted it, at that moment! Despina is an amazing host, made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. She prepared a surprise party (on her own) to my daughter, with a cake, heart shaped balloons and music! Also brought them ice cream (delicious, by the way) and even helped me when I got sick during our stay. She was always available for us, and helped a lot!
We had an amazing time in Chris &Marina`s house. We were looking for a nice elegant place where we can enjoy nature and relax from our busy professional life. Chris and Marina are every nice and generous people; Marina left all kind of home made cookies, jams and local delicatessen to try out. More than we could eat!. We had good communication, help and plenty tips on what to do on the Island.The house was very clean, fully equipped and we tremendously enjoyed the music repertoire and the outstanding view from the villa.
Great location , modern comfortable villa with delightful direct access to a lovely Clearwater bay. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Villa Marina. Modern and luxury villa with attractive gardens , decking and swimming pool with steps down to a private cove, beautiful clear water for swimming and snorkelling and just a quick drive to Skala shops and restaurants . Hosts Marina and Christos were very helpful and welcoming. A very enjoyable week and somewhere we would be happy to return too.
We have spent ten wonderful days in Villa Marina in Cephallonia. It met all our expectations. The villa is a luxury new house decorated with good taste and fully equipped with anything you can think of. The fantastic view from the terrace and from every room of the house and its easy private access to an incredibly beautiful sea made our stay unforgettable. We enjoyed eating outside by the pool and the siesta under the magnificent carubo tree of the garden. We thank Marina and Christos for the warm welcome and for making our stay perfect.
Idyllic holiday property, perfect view with superb facilities.Spent a fantastic 2 weeks here, family of 5 with 3 teenage children. The pool and loungers were superb, what had clinched it for us was the private entrance to the sea for snorkelling which did not disappoint. Very well equipped with fantastic master bedroom, with balcony overlooking the sea beyond and out to Zakynthos in the distance. My wife and I took the separate adjoining house which also had wonderful views with the bed surrounded on 3 sides by huge windows with great views to wake up to once the automatic blinds were open. Very well equipped with great wifi, Netflix, big collection of music and films although we didn't watch much TV as we were there to be outside. Pool was cleaned every morning by the gardner who had been and gone by the time we opened the shutters and maid service twice a week was excellent. The owners Marina and Chris were wonderful, spending time with us telling us restaurants and places to visit and so generous leaving us lots of fruit, veg, bread and home made spreads - the cherry syrup a major highlight. This was totally unexpected but really added to the welcome. Air con all worked fine and the place felt very secure with automatic gate. We did sightseeing to the caves and local boat trips. In terms of restaurants Old Times was about 15-20 mins walk and well worth it - we went 3 times, Skala is probably too far to walk, but taxis are plentiful and we hired a car - took 5 mins. There is very good barbeque and we ate in a few times as well as cooking pizzas
