Holiday rentals in Simotata

We had an amazing week at the end of May, the pool and view are just incredible and even better than they look in the pictures. Having a local shop and restaurants within walking distance was a complete bonus too. Would recommend boho for breakfast, Trapazaki bar and restaurant for food or a few drinks and Gefri (we didn’t try any others close by). Lovely beaches are also within a 10 minute drive. The air con is also super effective if you’re worried about the heat.

Nice apartment in a fantastic location, right by the beach! Lots of lovely places to eat close by. The sunsets are amazing! Apartment is perhaps a little run down but it had everything we needed for 3 nights so it was great.

Lovely place, very peaceful and private accommodation. 30~ min walk to the nearest beach, Agios Thomas (which was lovely.) Pool was excellent and certainly the highlight. Everything was clean and well maintained. Only notes for future visitors are that: (1) a car is recommended since it’s quite remote, and (2) contact the host before arrival for directions to the accommodation (as google maps led our taxi driver to the wrong entry.) Overall it was excellent!

Villa Effi is the most perfect place to stay. Absolutely beautiful, with everything you could need. Plenty of space to relax, air con in every bedroom, and the highest standard throughout. The swimming pool and garden area is amazing, with stunning views of the sea and mountain. Just a couple of minutes away from the mini markets, and only a short walk to the gorgeous beach, where there are tavernas & bars. We had the best time staying here, would recommend it to anyone, and Amalia is an extremely helpful, friendly and responsive host. We were extremely sad to leave.

Vaso and her husband were very kind, welcoming and friendly hosts. They made us feel very welcome and we loved the homemade olive oil and marmalade they gave to us while staying there. The house is lovely, clean and spacious. The outside and the inside were well equipped and comfortable. We really loved seeing the sunset every evening from where we were staying!

Stunning view, fantastic house and wonderful host! The house was clean, spacious and had tons of beautiful outside space plus parking. We had everything we needed as well as excellent bonuses like the most comfortable high quality bed, usb plugs etc But the view from the large balcony was the star of the show. You're just metres from a beautiful café/bar with magical views plus a mini market and a 5 minute walk down hill to the long beach and tons of great restaurants. Ari (Chiko) also gave us an extra recommendation of an extra special small beach 15 mins drive away. Ari was such a generous, fun and warm host and he very kindly offered for us to stay long past check out on our final day as he didn't have guests arriving. Having a night time flight, this made the world of difference to us - it meant a final beach visit, shower and late lunch with no bags in tow. Thank you Ari! We'd love to return.

Very large apartment with a large terrace that surrounds all sides, which makes any available space usable. The house has everything you need to enjoy your vacation in Kefalonia. We were greeted with typical Greek products, a splendid welcome. Inside, the house is furnished with great taste, combining modernity with some vintage pieces. Large kitchen, very spacious bathroom with shower. There is also a laundry area corner. Rooms of adequate size with their own closets. There is also the possibility of using the barbecue on the terrace. Private parking in front of the apartment. Finally, a special mention goes to the magnificent sea view that you could enjoy every day directly from the terrace. Everything was splendid!

If you’re thinking about booking a stay at Villa Rosa, don’t, just book it. To say the photographs don’t do it justice is an understatement, this place is truly paradise. If you look one way you experience magnificent vistas over the Ionian Sea and look another and you experience the majesty of the Kefalonian mountains… it’s simply stunning. Then, there is Joy… wow what an incredible woman. In all my years of travel I’ve never met a more professional, kind and caring person in my life. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, Joy made us feel at home and like we were part of her wonderful family. She took us personally to our accommodation which was wonderful (again better than the pictures) and helped us to get well appointed with the area and the villa. Each day Joy greeted us at breakfast (which is to die for by the way) and would give us personal recommendations for places to eat or visit all over the island… all of which were incredible… we will back!
