We are a family of ten, grandparents, adult children and partners plus four grandchildren aged from 6 to 11. Villa Diana proved to be the best villa we have ever stayed in. It is a beautiful property set in large gardens with a lovely pool and both a terrace and a balcony for eating in the shade. The inside of the villa was clean and spacious and extremely well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the linen change mid week was great as the weather was very hot! There were pool toys and balls for the children and the boys loved having goal posts for playing football! The mountain views from the villa and its setting were wonderful. Emma who looked after the villa, was lovely and helpful giving lots of tips of where to go.
We could walk to two tavernas both serving amazing food at reasonable prices, Anna’s tavern was about a 7 minute easy walk through the village and  Elionas (The Olive Tree) was about 10 minutes. Supermarkets were only a few minutes away by car and we found Avithos beach to be the best one for its safety, sandy beach, sun beds and cafe. SO many places to visit in this beautiful island, Assos, Fiskardo, Melissani Lake, Drogorati caves and locally five minutes away, St George’s Castle. Here we found Kastro’s cafe an amazing place for views and the wonderful food served up by the incredible friendly Spiros and Stelio with great banter to go with it! 
So, all in all this holiday at Villa Diana was a huge success and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

An amazing, beautiful and well equipped villa. 4 generations of our family stayed and we didn't want to leave! We would highly recommend Villa Diana

Family from Liverpool, United Kingdom

We had a fantastic two weeks at Villa Diana. It was very clean and the villa was cleaned twice a week. The local housekeeper made us very welcome. The pool is a great size and our children...aged 6 and 4...just loved it.  The villa has a very good feel to it and it has been well thought out...with an outside fridge for your convenience. There is also an outside darts board and plenty of toys by the pool. The local tavernas were great and the beaches had something for everyone. The children loved watching the sheep being herded once a day down a nearby lane. We will definitely recommend this villa to others and will visit it again if we decide to go back to Kefalonia. We can also recommend Rory the chef....he was fab and very knowledgeable about the area too. I cant recommend him enough. Finally, the owners were so helpful beforehand offering some excellent information and links to websites. Although there is no sea view, you have a lovely view of the mountains and it is very peaceful and sooo relaxing. The sea is just 5 mins away.....It is only a 15 min drive to the capital to pick up cash, see the turtles and to do a spot of shopping. You will not be disappointed if you book this!

Have just spent  a glorious week at villa Diana with kids and grandkids, ten in all. Beautifully appointed villa with great pool, offering us all the options for accommodation we required. Clive and Lyn very friendly and useful! Highly recommended are the walkable taverna Elionas (Greek night on Saturdays late but great!) and beaches at St Thomas and Trapezaki. We all had a great time and hope to return in the future. Many thanks...!

 From Bilston, United Kingdom

The property was ideally located just out the city walls within walking distance but far enough away to be away from the hustle and bustle. The setting was idylic in a quite lane amongst lime and pommegrante and other fruit trees.

The aprtment was very modern and spotless and came with extras the owners had supplied that we were not expecting in terms of drinks, tea etc and food stuff like oil, salt just bits and pieces that made it feel my homely and made you feel very welcome.

I would have no hesitation in reccomending this apratment and the people who own it.

people should be aware that the apartment is accessed either by a small incline or steps so that could be difficult for some people

 From Maidenhead, United Kingdom

The villa and pool were absolutely lovely and we had plenty of communal space to luxuriate in. 
The location was ideal, with the airport, great beaches and reasonably priced tavernas close by. 
Clive kept the pool beautiful and Lynne not only looked after the indoors but provided invaluable local information.
We all had a fabulous time!
p.s. Find the hand drawn map on the first day and ignore the first line of the directions about turning left out of the airport, it just means go up the hill.

Our 2 week stay at villa diana proved completely delightful.  Caretakers Ken and JoAnn  welcomed us warmly, offered helpful hints regarding local points of interest, and met our every need, all without being intrusive.  The immaculate and spacious villa boasts beauty, comfort and style, with a huge balcony, greatroom, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, a full kitchen and even a front load washer.  Beer, wine, coffee, tea, a cake, sugar and seasonings  were all close at hand.  The immediate surroundings feature lush pastoral beauty of vinyards, olive groves, songbirds and flocks of sheep.  We felt secure at all hours.  Car rental is a good idea, (but I would not recommend Holiday autos that this site will direct you to).

First impressions are important, as you arrive to Villa Diana with elegant gates, driveway and spacious gardens, an illuminated house and pool which like a beacon glows in the valley, it wasn't difficult to find. Arriving as we did late evening, how welcoming to find in one of the dual kitchens, the fridge and cupboards stocked with all the basic essentials including fresh milk, eggs, butter, bread etc to get our holiday started. It's the attention to details that add up to make your stay relaxing and stress free, including regular house keeping.

One of the things I always appreciate is quality Wi-Fi bandwidth, for keeping connected with work (sad as that sounds). I was pleasantly surprised to find unlike so many other Villas, (especially in the countryside) that Villa Diana boasts strong Wi-Fi, we were getting a solid 6Mpbs, which is sufficient for the basics and streaming and to keen our teens happy with their social media accounts.

We didn’t really fully utilise Villa Diana’s full capabilities as half our 6 kids are away, even so, the bedrooms, furnishings and facilities, you’d want for nothing. The large pool, glows enticingly evening at night with the pool and patio lights, sun loungers make for some very relaxing days. We particularly liked the balcony and the covered shade beside the pool for eating al fresco.

With my wife being Greek Cypriot, we always measure up every other Greek Island and Kefalonia is beautifully stunning, was our first visit to the island. It’s people are friendly and very hospitable, with a mediterranean cuisine which is always a delight, no wonder life expectancy is so high in these cultures.

Sharon and her team are wonderful hosts, with great advice and suggestions, nothing was too much, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Villa Diana and will be recommending to our friends with the hope we might return in the not too distant future also.
