Perfect location to tour the most beautiful parts of the island from. Surrounded by mountains, sea views and a pure natural Mediterranean garden in full bloom, Wow. Large clean pool and outdoor area accompanied with a well appointed, comfortable and homely villa. Lovely friendly and experienced hosts. Though the villa location felt rural it’s only a short 10 minute drive to the unspoilt local harbour village of Agia Efimia where you are blessed with many excellent taverns and bars to choose from. Some of the best snorkelling and swimming beaches are within easy distance though a hire car is a must. We fully recommend this Gem of a villa to others and hope to return one day. Thank you so much Phivos allowing us to share your Villa having made many fond memories of our time spent here. Cheers again, Louise and family x ##### Louise S.

After a long day and night full of travel, it was a welcomed surprise to find the villa fully equipped with just about everything we would need. Welcome basket with food assortments and fresh bread were a nice twist! A car is a must for this location because you do have to drive down a few quiet country roads to get there. It is very well located, approximate to just about everything you would want to see. It is only 5 minutes into Agia Efimia for food, grocery and excursion options. The neighboring town of Divarata is very closeby with a few more restaurant options and grocery. There is a bakery that is walkable from the villa and some nearby tavernas walkable, too. Myrtos is 6 min away and just about everything else 30-45 min drive. We enjoyed a nice pool day at the house. Three bedrooms with A/C in rooms and three bathrooms total. Showers are tiny, but you can overcome this with care. Grounds and views are gorgeous. Owner has excellent communication. Caretaker checked on us day 2 and pool/grounds guy came quietly each morning. What a beautiful place. Highly recommend! ##### Allison Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave A. 28 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### June 2024 Lovely relaxing villa in a great quiet location. Plenty to do in north of the island and a great base to venture out from. Sea front village has a supermarket, bakery, bars and some fantastic tavernas. Pool was warm, furniture comfortable only thing i would change is the loungers or for them to have a bit more padding, but a small thing that certainly wouldnt stop us returning in the future. ##### Dave A.

The villa had everything you could need. Brilliant pool and outside area. Comfy beds and well appointed rooms. Really felt like you were staying in a house that was cared for by the owner. Just a short drive to the town which has some great restaurants. We really enjoyed our week in Kafelonia ##### Tony H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate L. 22 Jul 2018 #### Villa Phivos is a beautiful villa in an ideal location The villa has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. There are lots of thoughtful touches and we loved being there. The pool and pool area is lovely with amazing views. The barbecue area is very well kitted out and provides a comfortable shady area to sit. The gardens were beautiful too. The villa feels very remote but you are only 5 mins drive from the lovely little port of Ag Efimia where there are lots of places to eat (all good). It is also in an ideal location for exploring the north of the island which we thought was the prettiest. We hope to return as we loved this place and the people so much. ##### Kate L.

HUGE PROPERTY WITH HUGE POOL AND LOTS OF PRIVACY. THE BEST PART OF KEFALONIA - CLOSE TO AGIA EFFIMIA AND MYRTOS BEACH. BEAUTIFULLY SUNRISES 0VER THE BAY FROM THE UPPER TERRACE. THE ONLY NEGATIVE WAS THE VERY SMALL BATHROOMS. THE SHOWERS WERE TINY WHICH MEANT WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR. BUT LOVED THE DESIGN OF THE REST OF THE HOUSE. ##### Sandy A.

The indoor and outdoor spaces are so thoughtfully furnished. The pool is enormous! There are so many lovely finishing touches that make this villa such a relaxing place to stay. It is in a great location. Myrtos beach and Antisamos beach are really close and Fiskardo is less than an hour away. There are plenty of tavernas in the nearest village of Agia Efimia which also has a great bakery/ ice cream parlour . Phivos himself is a very good host and will respond to your queries promptly. We thoroughly recommend this villa. ##### Carol B.

The house is amazing beautiful interior and exterior and absolutely everything you need for a holiday no need to bring much apart from clothes as the villa fully equipped even nice dressing gowns. The pool is so nice to relax and and outside area too you can just chill out by the outdoor kitchen to get shade if warm and hot. Agia effimia has some lovely little restaurant where we ate out a bit and great butchers/supermarket to get stuff for bbq. Fiskardo is a must and myrtos beach has the most beautiful views I have ever seen. I absolutely love kefalonia and want to come back to phivos next year, thanks to phivos too for answering all my questions we had he is super efficient. ##### anouska f. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte scriven 16 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### FANTASTIC!! Fabulous villa in a fantastic location. Phivos villa was everything we were hoping for & more. Beautifully decorated & well equipped with a lovely outdoor kitchen bbq area were we spent many evenings. In a quite area with only one other villa just outside the village of Agia Effimia it's well located to be able to explore the island as well as have quiet time relaxing by the pool. Phivos was an extremely helpful host answering any questions we had as well as arranging taxi transfers from when we booked all throughout our stay. We visited in June with 3 older teens & all throughly enjoyed the villa & the island of Kefalonia. If you love being adventurous i would highly recommend hiring quads from Motoround in Argostoli a great way to see the beauty of Kefaloni, a boat from from boulevard boat (jonny) in Agia efimia to explore the coves. Also Antisamos beach for watersports. We would definitely return to the Villa again. ##### Charlotte scriven Stayed 14 nights in May 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan C., Bromley 16 Jun 2017 #### Super villa, great location We have stayed in many villas over the years, but Villa Phivos is definitely our favourite. It is well located for access to all parts of the island. It has a lovely quiet position set in its own spacious grounds in a valley just five minutes from the pretty village and port of Agia Effimia. Waking up in the morning to open the windows and see the beautiful views from the balconies down to the sea at Agia Effimia is a special way to start the day. The villa itself is extremely well equipped and does not feel at all like a typical holiday rental villa. Phivos has been very thoughtful about all the things visitors might need for their stay. In fact, this the best equipped villa we have stayed in. We loved the large swimming pool and its spacious surrounds with plenty of sunbeds. It has the sun on it from dawn to dusk. After the sun sets there is a very well equipped, comfortably furnished BBQ area where you can relax and enjoy sundowners and food! We could say more, but suffice to say we will be booking again.

This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue P. 21 Sept 2017 #### FANTASTIC How much did we like the villa .... well we LOVED IT !!!!! We stayed for 10 days at the beginning of September and can honestly say it has been one of the nicest villas we have stayed in. Things that made it so perfect :- The peace and tranquillity The location is amazing Beautifully decorated Spotlessly clean throughout - inside and out Fantastic outside kitchen area Exceptionally stocked Fantastic music system for the inside and out. Pool cleaned every day Phivos the owner was very prompt and helpful in all his emails from the beginning of our enquiry to after the holiday and checking that we had a good time and if there is anything he can improve. The agent came round to introduce herself on our second day and made sure we were happy and that if we had any problems or just questions in general about anything to please ring her, after that we were left in blissful peace. Our only concern was the track up to the villa and if there was going to be any damage to the underside of our hire car, or if the car hire company picked up that we had been driving " off road" neither if these things ended up to be a problem. But if the track could be smoothed out so taxis would come up to the villa so one of us didn't have to drive when going out in the evening that would be amazing. All in all its definatly a 10/10 if the track was improved or a lovely taxi company found that would drive all the way up could be found it would be a 11/10 from us !!!! Definitely want to return next year. ##### Sue P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular Villa We waited three years to finally get our dream holiday in Kefalonia and it was well worth the wait….both the villa and the island of Kefalonia did not disappoint. The villa has everything….and more, from the special touches such as the welcome hamper with a selection of the basics to get you started when you first arrive to simple things such as washing powder, soft towels and wonderful bed linen just made this villa exceptional. The pool is fabulous and the location is just exquisite…so tranquil and peaceful but a stones throw from Agia Effimia which is a beautiful and friendly Green village. I sound like I’m advertising but we really couldn’t fault this villa, it’s location, service and the wonderful Greek people…when can we go back!!!

Phivos was very helpful before and during our stay - nothing was too much trouble (even when our car wouldn't start)! Would highly recommend (Could probably do with a few more mugs & glasses in the kitchen but as we were at the end of the season, I assume there had been a few breakages) We will be back ! ##### Edward R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary O. 15 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Off the grid yet 5 minutes away from the beautiful Agia Effimia. The property is very well thought out. Tastefully decorated. Quality furnishings. In fact we would move in tomorrow just as it is. The place is silent at night and during the day you hear very little. The villa is very private and the pool is a very good size. One word of advice, if you use the oven watch the temperature because it’s incredibly efficient; quality again! I can’t fault the property at all, if you want a peaceful break in a very good quality villa look no further. ##### Gary O.

Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALAN D. 19 Sept 2018 #### A most relaxing and comfortable villa with everything you need and more. We loved the villa. It is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We liked the varied spaces to eat and relax both in and outside the villa. The swimming pool is excellent, large enough for a good swim and to play ball games. We came with our 3 grown up children and the space worked really well for us. The welcoming hamper was much appreciated. We loved the location, quiet and secluded but not far from the tavernas in Agia Effimia. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Phivos. ##### ALAN D. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Socrates C. 1 Jul 2018 #### Great place to get away to The villa is well appointed, well designed and very comfortable. It has great indoor and outdoor areas, a good kitchen and covered BBQ area, a variety of different locations to relax in so that if you’re in a group you can retreat for some time alone, It is away from other people but just a few minutes drive from a few villages with bakery, butcher, shops, cafes restaurants, local beauty spots and gorgeous sea swimming, in case you didn’t feel like using the great pool at the Villa. There was a great welcome hamper to ease us into our stay and a welcome visit to make sure we were properly settled and oriented. Pre-arrival communications and help were excellent. Lovely to spend time here, one week was too short! ##### Socrates C. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles W. 9 Jun 2018 #### Wonderful Villa, wonderful location. This stunning villa is the nicest I have ever stayed in. The owners and all the staff are fantastic. They have thought of everything. I cannot fault it in any way. Perfect for 3 couples or a large family. ##### Charles W. Stayed 14 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael C. 29 May 2018 #### An amazing place to stay! This was our fourth visit to Phivos Villa and it's always like coming home. The villa is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It's in a lovely quiet location amidst the olive trees and convenient for visiting all the gorgeous beauty spots, although you do need transport here. We highly recommend this property. ##### Michael C.

Beautifully presented villa of exceptional quality of furnishings for an upmarket yet cosy feel. The views every morning were stunning, village sweet and has everything you need whether you want to eat out or cook at the villa. Amanda visiting the first full day was nice and it was good to have some extra information if we wanted to explore which was our intention but with only a weeks holiday we ended up chilling to the max and having to force ourselves to venture out. The outside kitchen and dining/seating area was a big pull for us when we viewed all villas we liked, this one was great! We would recommend a jeep like car to manage the long rocky track as every time we took our hire car out we winced when we heard a noise in case of sudden damage from rocks to the underside! We did get woken at 7am Sunday morning by a bulldozer close and clearly another villa is going to be built soon so I would consider that build noise if we wanted to book the villa again in 2018. Having all towels and good bed linen provided and changed during our stay was excellent, the robes came in handy after we had jumped into the pool a couple of times- October isn't the best season for unheated pool dipping unless you are very young and don't feel the cold but it was fun nonetheless! Superb laundry area in the cellar which was a reminder that you don't need to pack so much when facilities like this are at your fingertips. A wonderful villa and situated in a fabulous position, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend either of the villas to others. Kefalonia is beautiful and I know we will be back to the island for sure - especially as we didn't visit the caves or get to hire a local boat etc. Do pack good quality mosquito repellent and if you can citronella tea lights as you may not see the blighters but you feel their bites later on! We did buy and leave a fly swat too for persistent wasps but it's just as we have experienced in other Mediterranean countries. Go, enjoy, you won't be disappointed!
