Family-friendly vacation rentals in Argostolion

Angela is simply the most wonderful host we’ve encountered. She was extremely welcoming and let us check in early as we were in the area. The house is lovely and beautifully decorated. All the basics are provided which is always great for international travellers! The pool was amazing with great views and we all loved spending time outside. Angela is very friendly with lots of recommendations. She really is the perfect host and I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay. The villa is even nicer than pictures show, with the pool & gorgeous views of the hills & sea. Very helpful hosts who met us on arrival, responded to all queries and gave us lots of local recommendations. Definitely recommend hiring a car to get around and exploring the beautiful island. Hope to visit again!

Villa Aris was a beautiful villa with everything you need. We had lovely sea views and a beautiful patio and pool area with comfortable seating! Was great to have air-con throughout and we loved the feature of electronic shutter blinds in all the bedrooms which blocked out the light completely (a huge plus for families, particularly if you have younger children). Each bedroom had its own private patio which was a great feature. Bathrooms were modern and clean. Very convenient to also have an outside shower and tap for washing the sand off from a day at the beach, as well as a drying rack outside to hang costumes and towels. The villa was private and located well to explore the island. Definitely recommend it!

We had a great stay since our arrival Alexandros turned out to be an extremely kind person who was helpful and full of directions to make us feel at home. Its presence made us move and find the best beaches according to the conditions of the weather,the winds and the sea. Highly recommended. On many trips we had never found such a person present and available. A relationship has definitely been born that will lead us to visit it again in the future.

our stay at Anna's place in Kefalonia was amazing. the house was beautiful, extremely clean. and Anna's mom was soo sweet and helpful. she was there during check-in and provided everything we needed. we didn't have shampoos and conditioners and shower gel in the Airbnb, so when I asked Anna, her mom immediately came and provided those. they are the sweetest hosts. only thing I can recommend is: Google maps shows incorrect location when you put the address, please add in Airbnb instructions to put the place in Google maps that takes you the correct location for this address. that way it will be easier to find for the guest. we had some difficulty finding the place, but the host was super responsive so we were able to make it.

Absolutely amazing stay at Villa Blue! My family spent 2 fantastic weeks at this beautiful property & it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning panoramic view across the pool & the most amazing place to enjoy the beautiful sunrise & sunsets The villa itself was immaculate & thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need from kitchen essentials to pool towels, wifi & BBQ. The layout was spacious & comfortable, plus friendly cleaner every few days We all enjoyed the great pool Our hosts were fantastic, incredibly responsive & attentive, always just a message away & helped with local recommendations. Their hospitality was spot on. Meeting us on arrival to direct us to the villa was very helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better villa or base to explore Kefalonia. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway with incredible views I would highly recommend Villa Blue. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Efi & Makis

We had a lovely stay here. The villa is private but so close to the neighbouring hotel that we could use the pool (less than a minute's walk) and be sociable whenever we wanted. The bar and cafe by the pool are also great and the staff very friendly so it was an excellent place to hang out. We hired a car (recommended) and also visited nearby beaches, coves and restaurants in Skala, of which there are plenty. The cove at the bottom of the hill by the villa is also great for swimming, snorkelling and quiet sunbathing. The villa itself was perfect for our family of four, with everything we needed for self-catering, a beautiful sea view and a big terrace with loads of comfy furniture. Thank you for an enjoyable week!

We arrived within around 50 mins from the airport and drove straight to the apartment. We were then greeted by Marie ,Gerasimos ‘s mom . She was so lovely and relaxed and showed us round the apartment. There was everything you needed a fridge and pantry full of goodies . The list is too long to mention . Just wonderful that is a first for us never had hospitality like that ever . And myself and family have rented holiday accommodation for years on numerous platforms. Half way through our vacation Marie brought us 4 fresh sea bream caught that from her husband . All cleaned and gutted ,with herbs chilli’s and peppers absolutely beautiful. Above and beyond thank you for your hospitality it is amazing . The apartment is how you see it so comfortable in every way, perfect. The views are just a dream and the location is perfect. You can walk in to town and taxi back if you’re worried about the road. We had car so very helpful to. I would stop there again in a heartbeat perfect thank you 

Christina and her parents are kind and generous hosts, providing basic provisions and gifts of home-grown pomegranates and eggs from their own hens. The apartment was light, airy and well furnished, with good bed linen and plenty of towels, loo roll, shower gel, etc. Good light-excluding shutters and quiet, efficient air con. The gardens are pretty and well-maintained with seating in sun or shade, as preferred. Attractively lit in the evenings. The views of the sea and mountains are stunning from dual aspect balconies, which are in sunshine all day long. 10 minute walk to the sea and nearest tavernas. Narrow beaches are stony but accessible. 5 minute drive to pretty port of Sami with small supermarkets, shops and many bars and tavernas. Ferries to Ithaca and mainland. No sandy beaches locally. However, the sea is beautifully clear.

Everything about Cottage by the Sea is special, from Kia (the owner) to the location, the surroundings, the house, neighbours - EVERYTHING! The house is perfect. Beautifully decorated, lacking nothing. The aircons were a saving grace! The beach is on your doorstep. And Atheras beach is simply stunning, hugged between two hills and the landmark rocky island in the middle of the entrance to the bay. We had 4 blissful weeks in Kia's house as a family of 5. The sea, sun and peace did wonders for our wellbeing. Really enjoyed the lemons and grapes from the garden. Oh, and the goats! Ethos, Pathos and Logos visited almost everyday (destroying Kia's beautiful Delicious Monsters, no less) but they were a special feature and lingers in our memories. A special mention to Makis, who took us out on his fishing boat for a day to other beaches close by. Kia is a warm, efficient host, non-intrusive and yet anticipating every need of her guests. Highly recommend!! We'll come again.

I’ll start by saying that Konstantino’s place was exactly like the pictures. Waking up to that view every morning was definitely a highlight of our trip. Moreover, he has welcome us super warmly with a printed itinerary that he curated himself of day trips, beaches, restaurants and many more, which was incredibly helpful! The location is great if you want to visit the whole island as it is close to the airport & capital and equal distance to all the other cities. But make sure you rent a car. Overall, a great stay we can only recommend!

A beautiful apartment in a quiet place in Sami. It has all the necessities and a nice balcony.

We loved our week at Emmanouella's. The house was even more beautiful than the photos. The fruit trees and the small gardens filled us. The view was beautiful and our baby enjoyed playing with the many toy on site. The kitchen is very well equipped. We were in Greece for 2 months and it's really one of the houses we preferred. We felt like we were at home.

We booked this villa due to a last minute change in our itinerary. Dani reached out right away, and provided us with checkin instructions, local restaurants/shop recommendations, an area guide, etc. It was most helpful. We mistakenly arrived a day early and thankfully Dani was able to accommodate the additional night. She was very responsive, replying almost immediately every time I reached out with questions, concerns. The villa was lovely, clean, well equipped, and those views! Wow! We enjoyed the large private pool every night, and taking our breakfast on the expansive outdoor terrace in the mornings. The villa is located about 5 min drive outside of Argostoli. Set up on a hill side, in a private & quiet area. I would recommend having a car but we also found the villa to be walkable to several lovely restaurants (Sto Psito - highly recommend dining here), Kaminia Beach, Gradaki Beach, a mini market, and several other shops. All in all, we had a wonderful stay & would return. Cheers!

Enjoyed our stay in a great location. Spacious bedrooms, basic equipment in kitchen. Good Wi-Fi. Useful outdoor space. Flexible checking in and out worked well.

The place was easily accessible and Mrs. Lavrentia's instructions were very informative. Initially the room had private parking, which made a big impression on us and it was nice that our car was kept in an enclosed space. The room was lovely, clean, very spacious and even better than the photos. Mrs. Lavrentia was very kind, greeted us with a smile and was very helpful. She provided us with another set of sheets and towels and one day she made us breakfast, with products from her garden. Breakfast was lovely and overcrowded and a gorgeous move towards us. The room is just 4 minutes away, by car, from the nearest beach, Ammes and just about 15 minutes from Argostoli. It was one of the most beautiful rooms we've stayed in and we would highly recommend it. Also, Mrs. Lavrentia was very communicative and helped us with everything we needed.

A beautiful modern home in a quiet village that’s 15 minutes from the most beautiful beaches in Kefalonia. Niko was an excellent host and ensured we had everything we needed and more. The home was beautifully furnished and comfortable, and the soaking pool was a bonus for the very hot days. We would love to stay here again!

Nice place with friendly hosts (both Alex)! They agreed to let us stay later in the room on the day of the check-out!

Gaby and Tim’s villa was perfect. Immaculately clean and well kept with easily enough space for 6 adults. The swimming pool is excellent and the view from it over Skala to the Ionian Sea is breathtakingly beautiful. Quiet and personal this is an absolutely stunning location. Very difficult to leave. Gaby was a great host and always responsive whenever we needed advice or guidance on somewhere to eat or socialise. Her recommendations were always on point. Cannot recommend this location more highly.

Very beautiful house, not far away from Saint Gherasimos monastery. Panagiotis welcomed us with grace and gave us fresh fruits. He’s very friendly and responsive! I recommend his house!

We had an incredible stay at John’s villa. The villa was spacious, with beautiful surroundings, and spotless, with stunning views. The pool area was perfect for relaxing, and the location was peaceful yet close to beaches and other attractions. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, making the whole experience even better. A perfect spot for a family holiday—we’d love to come back!

Amazing views Perfect rooms Nice restaurant Good people

Very nice villa in an unbeatable location - right on the beach, short walk to restaurants, bars, shop, watersports. Pool is small, but it’s a lovely place to sit out - poolside furniture must have been replaced since other reviews, we found it fine. Terrace is a great place to eat dinner or take in the view. Some more comfortable chairs here would have helped, but it’s a superb setting. The little garden is a bonus, with banana palms and lime and orange trees. Host was slow to respond before we arrived, but then very helpful with instructions, late check-out and dealing with household rubbish (dumpsters arrive and disappear sporadically). The beach is a beautiful place to sunbathe and also to swim, especially in the mornings when it is glassy flat. Perfect resort for us - plenty of eats/drinks but relatively undeveloped/non-touristy. A few snags stop it being ‘luxury’ - the kitchen units a bit beaten up, our bedside lights didn’t work - but aircon and showers were excellent

My family and I had the most amazing holiday in the villa . The villa is perfect for 2 couples with children . 2 of the bedrooms open out to the beautiful infinity pool and the most amazing view ever !!! Gerasimos was the most helpful host and delivered yummy cake on my husbands birthday . We will definately return , but would hire a car next time . Thank you Gerasimos !
