This was our first visit to Kefalonia. We did not know anything about the Island, so we made the decision to rent this villa based on earlier reviews. And we were not disappointed! The villa is well kept, and everything was just as described and depicted, if not better. The owner or his father came by every day to tend to the pool, and a nice lady came to clean twice a week. A bonus was that the villa had Wi-Fi installed just before we came, so we could use our computer and smartphone whenever needed.
The villas best feature was, for us, its location. Its a short drive from Skala, with its stone/pebble beach, nice restaurants, charming small shops, multiple supermarkets and a park with a playground. But because the villa is within walking distance of to the beautiful Kaminia beach, which is said to be the best beach for families with children with its soft sand, shallow waters and no currents and of course crystal clear water, we didnt have to go to Skala if we didnt want to. There are to tavernas on the beach, and the second one has good food, a beautiful view, a separate snackbar down by the beach and free umbrellas and sunbeds.
We hope to come back to Kefaloni, to discover more of this beautiful islands secrets. And when we (hopefully) do we wish to return to Villa asterea. It was a perfect, relaxing holiday - sun, sand and sea, along with interesting history, stunning nature and a feel of the genuine Greek way of life. Freitag Family - Norway - July 2013
