Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Agia Effimia

It was our first visit to the island and we explored a lot! We are so happy we chose this home. It was exactly as described. The views were wonderful. We enjoyed the patio each morning and night. It was very peaceful. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable in our travels between 3 rentals, We were fortunate that grapefruit and lemons were in season. What a treat those gifts were. I prepared dinner on our last night and all I needed was available and clean! The home was co clean. It was such a please to speak often with this couple. I’ll de dreaming of our stay.

Hard to find such nice people, Sofia welcomed us immediately despite having changed the arrival time at the last minute, she made us find welcome drinks and immediately gave us a lot of information on how to get around the area. She lent us a beach umbrella when she found out we were going to a beach where we would need it, and one morning she even brought us two slices of freshly baked cake. As for the accommodation, fantastic! Everything was super clean and the garden was cool and very comfortable for enjoying the view and sunsets offered by the area. Highly recommended!

We had the most wonderful stay with our two children. The house is perfect with so many amenities. All the appliances are high quality and basically brand new! We had everything we needed and more. The pool and bbq area is fantastic. The views beautiful. Location is private but easy to get to other locations. We loved visiting Sami and the Melissani Cave’s not to be missed. The host went above and beyond, always responsive and kind. We highly recommend the house and have already told family and friends about it!

We loved the house and had a great stay. Thank you!

I have stayed in many houses and met many hosts. But I can confidently say that Petros and Maria are best hosts I have ever met! Continuously trying to help their guests, all requests and questions are responded with a big smile, understanding, empathy and compassion. The moment we stepped inside the house they made us feel like we are part of their family. The house is based inside an olive tree farm and the land is shared with 3 more houses. There are lovely animals around, dogs and cats… We just loved it! Every time you come home you’ll have Malou (the cutest dog I’ve ever seen) cheering your arrival! The internet in the island is a bit slow but there is nothing that can be done. Petros even brought another router to help us! It is related with the island. I miss the farm already!

Staying in the villa feels like staying at home: it’s cozy, well equipped, decorated with love and Angie and her family are all incredibly nice. A huge bonus- they can prepare food for you which is with home grown vegetables and tastes amazing. We had no issues with the check in or when leaving and I feel we were very lucky to have found this place. If you want peace and quiet, a gorgeous view and the privacy of a whole house, this is your place. 🧡

My boyfriend and I had a very good and nice stay. We loved it, both the island and the house, very intimate and equipped with everything you need. We rented a scooter and got to the center very quickly and to the shops. We liked the most how the house was so arranged, both architecturally and aesthetically. The only thing in the home would be the fact that the bed was much too soft than we are used to, because we sleep on a semi-soft bed is much more suitable for the column/body ( which caused back pain) and sometimes we found cockroaches in the house, which stressed us, because we had to kill them. Otherwise it was great!

Wonderful and peaceful place. It was clean and tidy. Zicos was very kind to us, leaving some welcoming fruit and helping with tips for beaches, villages and the necessary hot-spots to enjoy Ithaki. Sunrises and sunsets in the terrace looking at Cefalonia were overwhelming and made us stay at the place more than we thought. We’ll repeat for sure.

Beautiful Villa! A group of us stayed here with 2 small children. The cleaner came twice during our 10 days, the fridge was stocked with some things when we arrived, beds made, everything clean & tidy. It was a lovely stay! Definitely need a car though, there is 2 restaurants within a 10 minutes walk, however one was always shut when we went to go. We ended up driving into the town every evening for dinner :)

Alexandra and the team are wonderful, responsive and friendly. the space and the pool is clean and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed. the wifi was fast and the beds were so comfortable. well worth the price. karavamylos is a beautiful little town. can't recommend enough!

The hosts were so lovely and helpful. They very kindly gave us a welcome hamper of food for our first morning and gave us early check-in and late check-out. They even gave us a hamper with nappies and some supplies for the baby which was so kind and thoughtful. The villa is beautiful, clean and is even nicer than the photos can show. We hired a car as there isn't a huge amount in the immediate area but it's so peaceful and it's really easy to get taxi's if you don't have a car. We will definitely book again on our next visit to Kefalonia. Thank you again x

We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow, it was in a good location within walking distance of a supermarket and restaurants at Porto harbour. The house had everything we needed and the pool was a great addition as it was very hot! We hired a boat from George which was a fabulous day. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend.

Lovely villa with super patio space, and nice to be so close to a few restaurants in the village. We had a great time.

Very nice house!Going to Shipwreck Bay, Blue Hole are close

Wow! This villa is beautiful and perfect for our family of 8. Ben and Claire couldn't help us enough and responded to us quickly if needed. We were lucky enough to stay for 10 days, half of which were spent chilling at the villa, playing in the pool and using the amazing facilities . Although a rental car is helpful getting around the island, there is a lot of lovely restaurants, bars and beaches a short drive away. We explored around the island, including Fiskardo and Antisamos, which are breathtaking. Thank you for having us, we'd be back in1 a heart beat!

The location is wonderful, from the garden you can see the bay of Lourdas, with beautiful sunsets! Strategic location also for travel, Argostoli is about 20 minutes away, with large supermarkets and shops, a little further north of the island but it was not a problem for us. Spacious and comfortable parking. The rooms are exactly as in the photos, they are cleaned every day, and once a week towels and sheets are changed. There is a washing machine in the house that is super convenient. Evangelia and Nathalie are super nice, always available for any information! Bonus point for the three-legged dog who always greeted us.

We had a wonderful stay celebrating our anniversary and babymoon at the Windmill! Our hosts were so friendly and helpful and the place was impeccable and so thoughtfully restored from an active windmill into a lovely place to stay with beautiful 360 sunrise and nighttime views. Worth noting that a rental car was helpful for taking full advantage of the area and island, and that the bedroom is on the third floor while the bathroom is on the first floor so that's good to be aware of when booking! The outdoor kitchen was so special and had everything we needed to make lovely breakfasts and lunches in the space and we adventured out to some recommended restaurants for dinner. Gorgeous natural flowers everywhere and very romantic! Even better than the photos. We'd particularly recommend sunset dinner at the Porto Schiza restaurant and visiting Elies for olive oil tasting!

Great place in a lovely location close to lovely restaurants and beaches, would highly recommend.

Georgia’s place was fantastic. It was very clean and comfortable and was in a great location near to the sea with plenty of free on-street parking nearby - meaning you could really use it as a great base for getting round the whole island. Georgia was very communicative and helpful and even continued to provide advice (and some homemade cakes) during our stay. The housekeeper also came regularly and cleaned throughout each day while we were away. We would highly recommend staying at Georgia’s property when visiting Kefalonia!

Great location , walking distance to the seafront, great amenities and welcoming host

Staying at Anna’s place in Vlachata was truly an unforgettable experience—everything was better than perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The accommodations were immaculate and offered all the comforts we could have wished for. A special shoutout to Spyros, whose extreme kindness and invaluable tips truly enhanced our stay. His local knowledge helped us discover hidden gems we would have otherwise missed, making our trip even more special. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience and can’t recommend Anna’s place highly enough. Many thanks again, Anna and Spyros—we hope to return soon! Super recommended!

Nice homely approach. excelent communication. For me it is place, where i will definitely like to return.

Lovely apartment with everything we needed and a very attentive host. Perfect for our stay in Kefalonia!

Nice & easy, just as described.
