Pretty villa with a great pool in a quiet location with fabulous views . The villa had everything you could require to hand and the hosts John and Claire were so friendly and full of local information and handy tips. We loved our stay and will be going back.

Thank you Richard, appreciate the review and hope to see you again John & Claire
Our stay at the villa was idyllic. Beautiful property which was maintained to the highest standards. Everything was spotless when we arrived and the hosts performed a clean after our first week. The view to the ocean was magnificent and we were treated to memorable sunsets every night. The hosts were delightful and very helpful with all our questions. We highly recommend Villa Flora.

We loved Villa Flor. John and Claire could not have been more wonderful, helpful and attentive.
It is a spacious house with everything you need. Pool is a good size. Views are excellent. Much better than the photos. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Easy to be there with a group. Kefalonia is a gorgeous island. We had never been to it before— many five star beaches and no end to restaurants.

Roomy villa, pretty garden, pool and pool area with bbq, plenty of space.
Lovely terrace with fabulous views across the Ionian Sea to Zakinthos! Just stunning!
Absolutely loved it!
We had the most amazing holiday in Villa Flora. John was there on arrival to show us around and Claire was always available with any questions and helped with anything we needed whether it was Villa related or not. Villa Flora was better than we could have imagined – stunning location and the views are to die for! The outdoor and indoor space were just fabulous. We would highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

The property has phenomenal views across the south coast of the island and the sunsets are magical. John and Claire are the kindest and most helpful hosts we have ever come across. The villa is very well appointed and furnished and set in a hidden location. A car is essential if staying here and you have to manage the steep descent to the villa although you can park at the top if you don't fancy the descent. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this villa.
The whole trip was absolutely lovely. The Villa was well appointed, spacious and spotlessly clean. John & Claire could not have been more helpful and were so welcoming.
The views of the surrounding area from the villa were stunning and the whole area so beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely be back

We have just come home from a fantastic 10 night stay in the beautiful villa Flora! The communication was fantastic, John was there to greet us when we arrived and Claire came over the following morning. The villa is situated in a lovely quiet location with beautiful views and close driving distance to larger towns and beaches. There’s everything you could want in the villa and more! We’ve never been to Kefalonia before, but will definitely be returning and without a doubt staying at Villa Flora! 5/5 rating on everything from us all! Thank you John and Claire for such a wonderful stay!

Thank you for such a lovely review, we loved you staying with us and hope we see you soon, please stay in touch Claire & John
we very much enjoyed staying at John and Claires' house ,in particular sitting or lying next to its lovely pool marvelling at the superb view across the island to the sea.We were grateful for the range of provisions provided when we arrived and for John's kindness and enthusiasm in making our stay enjoyable and memorable.Like some others we found the hill down to the house a bit daunting (although perfectly driveable) so we parked in the square next to the church a couple of minutes walk away, which was no hassle.Thanks also to Claire for her prompt and accurate communications.
We had a brilliant holiday in this great part of Kefalonia. The villa is situated close to a few good restaurants and the beach, but is also secluded. The pool area is gorgeous and with its elevated position, the villa looks out onto the landscape below with the sea in the background. A lovely vista to wake up to each morning and to look at whilst having a morning cuppa on the balcony!
Claire was a brilliant host, she left us to enjoy the villa but we knew she was there if we needed her. She responded to a query we had on the lighting really promptly and nothing was too much trouble for her.
All in all, I would highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in a beautiful location.

Fabulous
From the beginning John and Claire (the owners) were welcoming and informative. They were unobtrusive as they changed towels etc. and even lent us some binoculars to enhance the fantastic views from the terrace and the pool. The villa is magnificent and the infinity pool means that there are never any leaves or bugs in it. In every way they made us feel at home with nothing too much trouble for them. The aircon cools the villa so there are no hot, sleepless nights. There are a number of excellent beaches a short drive away and the water is very warm and clear. My wife and two children (4 & 7) had such a great time relaxing and having fun that, for the first time in several years, we didn't want to come home. I wholeheartedly recommend the villa, the island and the owners.
We have recently had the most wonderful stay at Vila Flora which is even more stunning than the photos suggest. The property is spacious and immaculately presented and the pool area is beautiful with sun loungers and umbrellas/shade available on 3 sides and a breathtaking view.
John and Claire had thought of everything to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We arrived late so really appreciated the very well stocked fridge and cupboard (including fresh bread, honey, cheese, yoghurt, mlk and fresh fruit) and with a plentiful supply of basic items which meant we didn’t even have to locate the supermarket for the first couple of days. John took time to explain how we would navigate to various destinations and made some useful recommendations about restaurants and other places to visit.
John and Claire were especially accommodating in allowing us to check out late in the day for a nominal fee which effectively allowed us to have a whole extra day to enjoy this lovely space.
The villa is located at the end of a steep and somewhat intimidating drive and whilst this is clearly quite manageable for confident drivers (as evidenced by John), we chose to park on the road instead.
We cannot recommend Villa Flora more highly and have been recommending it to all and sundry since our return.
Villa Flora was beautiful - light, airy, spacious and attractively furnished - in an amazing hillside location with breath-taking views from the house and the poolside across the south of the island to the sea. It really was a little bit of paradise. The villa is well located offering easy access to Argostoli and the sandy beaches on the south coast. Our favourite, Ai Helis - a sandy cove where you can snorkel around the rocks - is an easy five minute drive away. There are a number of good places to eat out within walking distance.
Beautiful villa, stunning location. Claire was a superb host. Kefalonia is a beautiful country
Excellent communication throughout, super location on the island. Excellent hosts, the villa had all we needed. A real home from home and beautifully kept. Thank-you Claire
We arrived and was very pleasantly surprised at the thought and effort that had gone into this place . John the owner met us and showed us around , we all felt immediately at home. There was nothing whatsoever we needed. Villa flora had the most beautiful views and on our last day we had problems with our passenger location forms which meant we didn’t check out on time, not only was this not a problem John and his beautiful wife Claire helped us to get the forms done and could not have been more helpful. We will definitely be back and are very grateful to have stayed in such a beautiful villa in such a beautiful island with such wonderful hosts

Thank you so much it was a pleasure meeting you and also good fun, great family and great guests, you are welcome back anytime Claire & John
Everything about this villa was simply excellent. The villa itself is very well equipped, beautifully decorated. The outside area and pool are exceptional. Stunning sea views and lovely garden. The location is perfect for visiting all the island and really peaceful all the time. Close to so many great restaurants. The owners are exceptionally helpful, recommending places to go and checking in every now and then. Even dropping off yummy cakes one day. A nice welcome pack is waiting when you arrive. I can recommend this villa too highly. Magnificent two weeks here.
Villa Flora offers a super setting for a holiday stay for friends or families. Facilities are excellent, the villa is very well aquipped, comfortable and has a stunning outlook. Claire, the host, is helpful and attentive without interfering.
As a group of 3 couples we had all the space and convenient accommodation to socialise together, both in the sun and shade, and room to have separate quiet time if wanted.
I thoroughly recommend Villa Flora and indeed the Island of Kefalonia both of which exceeded all our expectations.
Just one point to remember - the access road is formidably steep ( wheel spinning steep) and should not be underestimated.
We all had a wonderful and memorable 2 weeks and would all love to repeat the experience.
The villa was exactly as it stated online. Very clean, well equipped and beautiful views. Several lovely restaurants in walking distance and short drives to beaches. Claire was brilliant with all communication and gave us some great tips about local restaurants and places to visit. Absolutely loved the island and hope to return in the future!
