About this property

Exquisite Villa Private Pool, Lovely Countryside Views, BBQ, wooden stove, wi-fi

The secluded and tranquil location of the property (Karavomylos, Sami) makes the villa the perfect place for peaceful and relaxing holidays: Embedded in a magnificent old olive grove, offering lovely countryside views, just 2 km (5 min drive) from the little village of Karavomylos and its dreamy Natural Lake. Next bigger village is Sami (approx. 2 km from the villa) with all amenities you may need in your holidays: restaurants, cafés, shops, beaches. The spectacular beach of Antisamos is just 15 min drive from the villa. The spacious interior (185m²) is comfortably furnished, fully air-conditioned (bedrooms + living-room!) and equipped to meet the needs of all. There are 3 bedrooms + 3 bathrooms. Outside there is a private pool and a vast, sunny terrace made of light-coloured natural stone, which creates a harmonic contrast to the olive green of the surroundings. The terrace is surrounded by a carefully decorated garden with old olive trees and well-tended lawn, ideally for children to play.

Kefalonia stay
Great villa. The owner provided supplies which was appreciated. My only criticism would be the air conditioning needed to be able to go lower but this is my preference as I look to be very cool at night.

Comfortable and pleasant stY
We have had a very pleasant stay in the Olive Garden villa with my family. A very nice pool with soft water, a great bbq to make fish and souvlaki dinners, the house and kitchen have everything you are looking for and the airco’s keep you cool at night. Danny and Suta gave us some great tips on the neighborhood, restaurant and beaches to visit. I hope to back and recommend this villa highly. Enjoy!

A wonderful stay
Wonderful 2 weeks spent at this gorgeous villa and its pool and gardens in a fabulous location.Good mid week clean and excellent communication from hosts. Our only suggestion would have been the option to borrow some beach umbrellas for trips out and maybe a jug for the kitchen.

Beautiful property
A beautiful, well equipped property with a lovely outside space. The house was immaculately clean and the clean came half way through the week and changed all the linen. The owners were very informative and close to hand if we needed them. The only small downside was the distance from the town and beach but the exercise did us good.

A slice of heaven….
We absolutely loved our stay at the beautiful Olive Garden Villas. There was plenty of space for our family of 6 and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the garden looking at the magnificent olive trees and surrounding mountains. The pool was just perfect, cool enough to combat the late afternoon heat each day and yet warm enough for an early morning swim. Sunrise was spectacular over the mountains and our hosts were so lovely and responsive. We felt like we were home away from home. Thank you for making our stay so magical.

Lovely Villa with a great pool
We were met by our hosts Danny and Satou. We had a warm welcome and they showed us around. Lovely villa in the heart of an olive grove, location was good and was lovely and quiet but not to far from Sami, a nice 15-20 minute walk. Facilities were good and had a great pool area. We went last week in September so it was nearing the end of the season but still enough for us to do and see. Weather was good 25-35 degrees some days. Sea was still glorious to swim in. Overall a great week was had by everyone and wished we’d stopped a bit longer. Until next time Kefalonia.. YAMAS 🇬🇷❤️

Super villa holiday
Our first visit to Kefalonia and had a fabulous holiday. Villa was superb! Well equipped and maintained and regular maid and pool cleans.We spent many afternoons enjoying the welcome shade around the pool and the large balcony overlooking the mountains was beautiful for evening drinks. Our hosts were great and made us feel very welcome. We regularly visited the beach at Agia Paraskevi/Saint Friday which had good parking and was quieter than Antisamos. We ate in Sami a few times but preferred nearby Agia Efimia and would recommend the restaurant Amalia. An evening trip to Fiskcardo and Argostoli for dinner was also very enjoyable, allow plenty of time for journey as roads aren't great. Overall a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend Olive Garden Villas.

Sehr schöne Woche auf Kefalonia
Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Besonders erwähnenswert ist die Zwischenreinigung und der Austausch von Bettwäsche und Handtüchern bereit nach 3 Tagen. Der Außenbereich und Pool waren sehr gepflegt. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

Fantastic, Relaxing Home from Home
What a wonderful stay at this relaxing villa! Cannot rate a stay at Satu and Danny's place highly enough. Friendly and welcoming hosts, wonderful facilities, lovely pool and everything was clean and comfortable. Sami is a just a short walk away with a range of excellent tavernas and shops. Our family favourites were the Mermaid and the Adonis. The villa is also in an excellent location for exploring the island with a car. Sad to have left but will look to come back next year. Thanks for having us.

Happy holiday in lovely villa
This was our first visit to Kefalonia, Sami and Olive Garden Villas and we absolutely loved it. We were a family group of three generations (2-65 years) and there was something for everyone - walks in the olive groves, swimming and fun in the pool and exploring the island. The villa itself is very well equipped and comfortable with the outside area having plenty of sun loungers, dining table (under cover) and a great outside kitchen/BBQ which we used a lot. The upstairs bedrooms are lovely with great views over the hills. The lower ground floor bedroom has three single beds and although huge and cool it isn’t en-suite. The villa is fully air conditioned. Satu, the owner, was there to welcome us and was so helpful and friendly during our stay. It was really good to have the villa cleaned midweek and in our middle weekend. Sami is within easy reach either by car or walking (approx 30 minutes) and has plenty of shops and restaurants along the harbour front. The best beach locally is Antisamos which has free sun beds - you just have to buy a drink. All in all, we had the happiest of holidays and I would definitely recommend this villa.

Beautiful Villa for perfect family holiday!
The Villa is absolutely perfect in every way! It has everything you require and is set in a beautiful olive grove, we love outdoor cooking and the villa has the perfect bbq/pizza ovens outdoor. The thing we enjoyed most, was it’s fantastic location! It is literally a 5min drive into Sami to the local restaurants, shops etc and it was blissfully peaceful at the villa. Mr Danny, the owner was very communicative and caring. On the last few days of our stay we got caught in the very rare ‘Medicane’ that hit Kefalonia. We felt so safe at the Villa and Mr Danny really went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed. We appreciated it so much especially as it was our first little family holiday with our 6 month old. We cannot wait to be back and if you’re looking to experience Kefalonia, this is the villa for you. This was our 3rd time back on this piece of paradise and can’t wait to return again.

Peaceful villa!
A family of 6 adults enjoyed staying in this villa! The outside space makes this villa and we spent the majority of our time by the pool and eating outside. We would love to return! Only one thing caused a 4* - the basement bedroom does not have access to the outside as advertised, however this did not effect our stay!
