Villa Kanali is a gem of a find! As a family of 4 adults and 2 children we found the villa to be spacious, homely and comfortable. We loved the light, airy interior and the comfy beds which gave us all a good night's rest. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs with balcony's and 1 downstairs. The open plan living/dining room and kitchen has everything you need. The outdoors area is a beautiful setting with a scenic display of flowers, fruit trees and herbs plus the luxury of your own private swimming pool which was ideal for a cooling dip. The villa is in a quiet, discreet, rural location surrounded by nature with the constant sound of the circadas and the bells of the nearby goats. The views are stunning particularly from the upstairs terrace to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset...perfection! We could easily walk to nearby tavernas/shops and there is a more challenging walk down to the beautiful beach (a steep incline on the return may be difficult for the less mobile) I recommend a car rental to see the delights of this amazing island. We did this and got to travel to so many fabulous places plus I would definitely recommend hiring a private boat- we did this from Argostoli and we got to visit the most stunning beaches of crystal clear, turquoise waters accessible only by boat- amazing for snorkeling, such a memorable experience! Use Villa Kanali as your Kefalonian base, you really won't be disappointed. We cannot wait to return

The property is spacious, clean and light with 2 bathrooms, Aircon in all rooms and amazing views from balconies upstairs. The pool is small, but salt water filter and perfect temperature. The property has a lot of land and vegatation, we enjoyed figs from the tree and herbs from the garden which gave a lovely aroma. The beach is a lovely 10 minute walk downhill under bamboo tunnels and calm water, hardly any people there. The area has lots of shops and restaurants, we particularly enjoyed '77' which is a new family run cafe up the road open until 4pm. Harry was very attentive and responded immediately to any questions. Fresh towels and bedding were supplied during our stay. Harry provided a very comprehensive document about the villa, area and suggestions for days out. We all had a wonderful time at the villa and highly recommend. We felt relaxed and calm as it is a little tucked away from the main road and no other villas overlooking.

Lovely clean villa with views you would never get tired of. Efficient air conditioning that was definitely required. Harry was very communicative and helpful from the beginning. We enjoyed our stay and loved the vibe of Vlachata. If I had to point out anything that needs improvement I’d say the WiFi needs updating (you can get a signal from the villa in front of the pool but only a very weak intermittent one from villa kanali.) Also a built in BBQ would be a welcome addition.

Villa Kanali was a perfect choice for us for a four week stay in Kefalonia. The property itself is really well located - walkable to the local village with a choice of restaurants, cafes and well stocked supermarkets. There is also walkable access direct to Kanali Beach albeit down a fairly steep and winding path - takes about 10-15 minutes depending on your fitness!! If you don’t want to walk it, it’s a 5 minute drive to Lourdas Beach with plenty of places to eat and drink and with sun beds and sun shades on the beach. Try Waikiki Bar and Lithero Restaurant. The villa provided everything we needed (there were 6 adults at times). The pool is beautiful and very well and regularly maintained with plenty of sun beds and the housekeeping was efficient and the property was clean - very good quality linens and bedding and beach/pool towels provided. We didn’t eat in much but there were all the utensils and pots and pans we could have wanted. We had a few problems with the electricity but on contacting the owner they were rectified very speedily and without fuss, even in the evening!It would have been nice to have had some sort of satellite TV (I know that’s not what you go on holiday for but sometimes it’s nice to chill that way although there is a good selection of DVDs) and there are no mirrors in the bedrooms or wardrobes - there’s one shared wardrobe on the landing. The furthest excursion was 90 minutes to Fiskardo (south to north) and well worth the winding journey - the views along the way were spectacular and some of the beaches are just stunning.All in all, this is a great property to choose on an island that offers you everything you could want for a family holiday. It’s not often we say we’d return to a place but this is definitely one. Great island, great property, and an extremely helpful and responsive owner - thanks, Harry!
