Rent from owners direct in Kefalonia

We are Bren and Alan, now starting our fifth year of renting our delightful villa and guesthouse in Mavrata, Kefalonia. Bren has extensive knowledge and expertise having worked in the global corporate hospitality industry for over 20 years. We hope to bring some of this experience to your stay to ensure that you have everything you need to make your stay at Villa Aglaia that perfect holiday experience. Mavrata is a lovely traditional Greek village with a pretty church at its centre and a fantastic family run taverna, Elios. The villa is within easy walking distance of Elios taverna and just 5 minutes’ drive from the many fantastic tavernas and bars on the seafront of the beautiful seaside town of Katelios where you will find lovely sandy beaches and a sheltered shallow sandy bay with crystal clear water.

Kefalonia is a place that once visited is never forgotten which is what happened to us about 20 years ago! After that I set about finding and building our dream home on the island We now welcome a few guests each year to enjoy our home and the island and as visitor numbers are limited, we like to think the villa now is as nice as it was when we first built it.

Amari means ours, so during your stay at Amari Villa it will be your home from home. We first discovered Kefalonia in 2000, when we as travel agents used to send our clients to this amazing Island. As our clients would come back and tell us about their stay, they would tell us their holiday stories and how much they enjoyed their stay in the Cephalonia sun, and how they couldn’t wait to visit Kefalonia again and again. Our local estate agent Keith was one such client who, once he came back would tell us about his family's holiday, the incredible experience, the great hospitality of the locals and the relaxing time they had away from it all. We wanted to know why people kept visiting Kefalonia again and again and discover for ourselves what was so special about Kefalonia. So our Kefalonian adventure began………. Our first visit in 2003, we stayed at Liakas Village and it was a great setting to see the Island and discover all its beautiful beaches, historical sites, the welcoming locals and the incredible views of Kefalonia. We just fell in love with the Island and decided this is where we would like to have our own paradise in the sun, our very own holiday home. We met Dmitri and Maria who own Liakas Village and through them met Andreas (Maria's father), from the Free Coffee House, who introduced us to the land where Amari Villa now sits. In 2005, we arranged for builders and all other workmen ourselves, bypassing the control of the build by the architect and project managed the entire process ourselves. Foundations were laid, however, we had to delay building as, unfortunately, Dina fell ill. We finally started building in 2008 and finished in 2009. When the build was finally complete we couldn’t believe that we have achieved our dream. When we look back, we just can’t believe what we did and how we did it. We were lucky that we met so many people, some of them really good friends now, who really cared about what we wanted and how they helped us get there. We hope the natural setting, amenities, and the entire feel of Amari Villa will be a welcome escape for all our guests. In fact, many past visitors have commented that their time at Amari Villa was like a retreat at their own personal, private resort. We couldn't agree more! Create your ideal holiday & memories
