  Exceptional

  Villa location and views are stunning. We visited for a week at the end of August and can thoroughly recommend Skoumas Villa to anyone - couple, family, friends - or would work for all. The pool is an essential in the hotter months and the fact you can take in the scenery whilst having a swim is extra special - mountains behind and all around you with the sea in front of you. The welcome basket of essentials was a lovely touch and very welcoming. We liked being able to self check in and out with the knowledge that we could contact our hosts should we need to. Drive up to the villa from Vlachata is fine once you've done it a couple of times and a hire car is a must for this villa. Loved it, and recommend to anyone x

  Wonderful private villa in a spectacular location - highly recommended.

  Fantastic, spacious accommodation with a wonderful hillside location. The villa is completely private apart from the early morning visit of the (very pleasant) owner to clean the pool, which didn't bother us. He was kind enough to give us a very large bag of tomatoes, cucumbers and limes from his plot in front of the villa. The pool was beautiful and very clean. The drive up was a little tortuous at first but we soon got used to it. We were surprised that there was a welcome hamper of very good standard that included a couple of beers and a bottle of wine.

  The mattress covers made sleeping a little sweaty and uncomfortable on the first night so we removed them. I understand why they are there but I really can't stand them. The sun loungers look fabulous, but are probably the least comfortable we've ever used - impossible to lie on your front, not so great on your back and no cushions or pads. Hence the mark down on comfort. One more gripe - beyond the owner's control, but there are three very bright security lights in front of the property I think attached to a small electricity substation down the road about 100m. These come on at twilight, all but obliterating the view, and stay on all night. A real shame but not enough to put us off returning to this otherwise excellent villa.

  Beautiful location, amazing property, wonderful host. Highly recommended for your stay in Kefalonia

  Property was well decorated and beautiful. It had every facility we needed including everything for a small baby. The host was kind enough to organise a baby cot for us. The pool is stunning and overlooks a well manicured garden alongside a well positioned balcony with breathtaking views that we enjoyed in the evening with the sunset

  The pillows could be slightly more comfortable (personals pretence thing)otherwise it was perfect

  Despite the wasps... Our stay was lovely

  The property was lovely - modern, clean and fully equipped. Also, fantastic hillside views of the sea and coastline. beautiful garden and olives groves

  the property was a bit too remote for us. the swimming pool was gorgeous and was cleaned every day but during our stay we had wasps basking in the pool daily. This made it very difficult to swim in because the wasps were not dead , they were basking/floating in the water and stopping off to have a drink and float on the water to cool down making it very difficult to enter the pool without fear of being stung. We tried several deterrents but the best was buying some Greek ground coffee, placing this in terracotta bowls and setting a match to the coffee so that it produced smoke. The wasps hated this smoke so avoided the pool but this only lasted for half an hour and then we would have to replenish the ground coffee again. Too much work when you are on holiday!
