We enjoyed a wonderful week at this beautiful villa! The most wonderful view to wake up to every morning! The location was perfect - just a few minutes drive from the lovely village of Fiscardo and the local beach Emplissi was perfect for an early morning swim! Akrivi was a brilliant Host and very kind and responsive to all our requests and gave us wonderful recommendations for local restaurants and beaches ! The villa is so well maintained and taken care of and I would highly recommend a visit - and I hope we will return again soon!

Lovely villa
Our family, all 10 of us had a really enjoyable and very comfortable holiday in villa Galini. Really stunning views and the main bedroom suite particularly stunning. Akrivi our host always promptly dealt with any queries we had and Louise the Villa maid kept the Villa spotless on a daily basis.

Wonderful experience.
This Villa was everything it promised to be. Awesome views, first class accommodation and beautiful location. Fiskardo and the surrounding area are amazing. Louise, our maid, was discreet but thorough and Akrivi our agent was attentive and extremely helpful. We can’t rate the whole experience highly enough.

We had the most wonderful family holiday. The villa was just perfect. The separate accommodation was great for me, my husband and two young children, whilst the rest of our family were in the main house. Luisa the housekeeper was amazing, cleaning the property every day for us and leaving it spotless. The property is set above the beautiful town of Fiscardo which you can walk to but you might need a taxi back up the hill! It has plenty of lovely restaurants and shops right on the harbour and beautiful beaches nearby. Parking in Fiscardo is easy and there are always spaces. We did venture out too far as we had enough to do in the local area. Akrivi was brilliant and always on hand to help us with any requests. She organised an amazing boat charter for us, complete with a loiveky bottle of champagne to celebrate a birthday which was very kind. This was a family holiday to be remembered. Hope so much we can come back again one day!

Amazing villa with amazing customer service
We stayed at this villa for about 2 weeks. First time visiting Kefalonia with my family and friends. Villa itself is amazing, with picturesque views and great quality furnishing. Swimming pool was definitely better then expected from the pictures. Throughout the overall stay we had a very prompt assistance and great communication with Akrivi. All our needs have been taken care of, which I appreciate a lot. as in often times you don't get this responsiveness from the hosts from my experience. Highly recommended for the location as well as the property itself. You won't regret it. One of the best holidays that we've been on so far!

Traumvilla
Es war einfach alles super: die Betreuung durch Akrivi von der Agentur und vor Ort durch Luise. Die Villa und die Insel sind einfach traumhaft. Das kleine Städtchen Fiskardo, der tolle Strand Antisamos bei Sami und noch vieles mehr waren so wunderschön, leider ist eine Woche viel zu kurz.

End Of Summer Break
A group of 8 visited and on arrival we were greeted by Louise as promised, and shown around the villa. It was exactly as described, a lovely property with fabulous views, both morning and evening. As has been said elsewhere , the bakery down the hill is fabulous and the visit to collect bread/pastries/pies in the morning for one of the group provided great exercise ! Fiskardo is a lovely town on the island and this is an ideal location to enjoy all of the local eateries and activities. Akrivi was easily available when contacted and very helpful during our stay.

Fabulous Fiskardo!
We had a truly wonderful relaxing stay in the Villa which has breathtaking views. The Villa is spotless, there is a lovely live-in maid who comes everyday. The villa was well equipped and nicely furnished. It is at the top of quite a steep hill and about 20 minutes walk into Fiskardo which we enjoyed but isn’t for the faint hearted in the heat of the day!

Charming villa very close to Fiskardo
We had a lovely stay at Villa Galini. We were two families with two kids each. There was plenty of space. The villa is very clean - thanks to Louise who greeted us with her bright smile every morning. Akrivia was the perfect host; helped us with all our needs. The villa is only a couple of minutes away from Fiskardo, so you can reach the town very easily but still wake up in the middle of the greenest surrounding with an exceptional view of the Ioanian sea every morning. There is a bakery nearby (my 14 year son's morning exercise was to walk down to the bakery every morning for some pies). We highly recommend Villa Galini and would certainly consider it for accommodation if we were to visit Kefalonia again, which is very likely as this was our second visit in three years.

Traumhaftes Haus in perfekter Lage
Wir waren im Oktober 2018 in der Villa in einer Gruppe aus 4 Erwachsenen und 2 Teenagern. Wir haben einen perfekten Urlalaub erlebt. Das Haus entspricht in vollem Umfang den Beschreibungen. Die fünf Schlafzimmer sind toll ausgestattet und verfügen über ein bequemes Bett. Ebenso kann man von jedem Zimmer aus das Meer sehen. Der großzügige Schnitt ermöglicht einen entspannten Aufenthalt auch für eine Gruppe mit unterschiedlichem Tagesablauf. Die Lages des Hauses ist ruhig und trotzdem fussläufig zum sehr hübschen Fischer- und Seglerdorf Fiskardo. Die Besitzerin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vor Ort war unsere Hausangestellte jeden Tag vor Ort und hat die Unterkunft in perfektem Zustand gehalten. Toll. Das haben wir so noch nicht erlebt und wir waren schon in einigen Ferienhäusern. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder auf dieses schöne Eiland und genießen tolles Essen, perfekte Landschaft, traumhafte Buchten und überalll freundliche Menschen.

Fantastic stay at the most beautiful spot!
We were a large family from the UK and Greece. Both parties had a wonderful stay in the most perfect and peaceful surroundings. The villa was spotless and was kept that way by the daily cleaner. I can’t recommend the place enough, we can’t wait to go back.

Unrivalled stunning sea views in great location
The description of the property was accurate in every way and it was immaculately presented, clean, tidy and well maintained. Our only concern was that the main reception room had no air conditioning and was extremely warm in the evening and night time. Having said that, the property still exceeded expectations and we will return ......... and tell all our friends how wonderful it is. The sea view is sensational and so calming. Nearby Fiskardo with its restaurants and beautiful harbour is only a brisk walk away (or a short drive!) Akrivi provided a first rate concierge service and nothing was too much trouble and with four generations of our family in residence at any one time there were quite a few requests! It was so reassuring to be able to call her and she sorted taxis, restaurants, boat trips, a walking stick, food deliveries, meals amongst other things. She is simply a treasure. We hope to return in future and have no hesitation in recommending the Villa to our friends ........... or perhaps we shouldn't as they may book and not leave any availability for us!

Stunning views, beautiful villa
This villa was absolutely beautiful with the most serene, stunning views you could wish for. It was perfect for us as a group of 7 friends who love hanging out together around the pool but also have our own space (and bathrooms). It was immaculately clean when we arrived and Louise the housekeeper was a joy. I sometimes find it awkward when someone is cleaning while I’m in the house but she is so lovely, happy and friendly it was actually nice seeing her every day! Akrivi was great from the start, always so quick to respond to questions and the recommendations she gave us for restaurants were spot on. We tried all of them and they were all great. We also booked a boat for the day through her at a very reasonable price (she booked it for us and we paid the captain directly) and we went to Ithaca which was again stunning and was definitely a highlight. The location was great, you can walk to Fiskardo but I would definitely advise on a €5 taxi back...it’s all uphill on the way back. I wish we could have stayed longer to see more of this beautiful island but I guess that’s an excuse for a return visit and I would totally stay at Villa Galini again, no questions asked. Efcharistó polý Akrivi and Louise for a fantastic holiday!

Excellent Villa in a beautiful location
We were a party of 10 people who stayed at Villa Gallini. It is a beautiful villa which is very well appointed. The decor and furnishings are first class and Akrivi was very helpful. The pool and the stunning view was magnificent and just what the children wanted! We had the most amazing holiday here. Fiscardo is a lovely town with just enough to keep us entertained for a week, with fabulous restaurants and a picture perfect harbour. The only reason I have given it a 4 star is that the garden house which sleeps another 4 people does feel quite far away from the rest of the guests and in our situation that wasn't ideal. However if you were a family of 4 it would be perfect. Also, look out for the wasps the island is teeming with them! All in all a fantastic villa in an amazing location. Would definitely recommend for a great holiday.

Fantastic
Villa Galini is beautiful and spacious , recently refurbished ....views are breathtaking ...in a hilly position with 2 flights of stairs to main house . Beach is a good walk and steep , much better to drive , at least for me ! Fiskardo is very pretty with a wonderful harbour and restaurants . Prices very similar to home if not a bit more . Local restaurants suggested at villa were very good and the bays and beaches (pebbly) breathtaking . Only downside was as it was September wasps were a problem ...wasp traps needed to be set , and mosquito repellant essential !! Kefalonia is totally beautiful and well worth the visit ..will be back

Amazing Villa in a great location
The main feature of this villa is the area around the pool that overlooks the pine forest tree tops on the left and the beautiful blue sea that leads into Fiscrado. The villa is spacious and very practical for two families. The location is perfect as we could walk to Fiscardo and to Emilesse Hotel (the villa enjoys access rights). The hotel has a gym which is handy, or alternatively simply walk back up to the villa. Fiscardo is a beautiful port town that we could not get enough of, many interesting shops and memorable dining experiences. Our host Akrivi was exceptional, her insight and contacts ensured that we made the most of our trip. We thoroughly recommend this property and working with our host Akrivi Vrioni.

Perfect House, in a Perfect location
We were travelling with another young family. In total there are 10 of us. The house layout was great wth plenty of room to relax. The house is really well decorated with a relaxed and sophisticated style. The house host, Akrivi Vryoni was wonderful, knowledgeable and highly professional. She arranged a beautiful day trip on a boat around the parts of the Island and was excellent at suggesting other area to visit and places to eat. The port town of Fiskardo is probably the nicest town were have ever visited (and we have been to many). The quality of the restaurants are second to none as are the nearby beaches. The house is also close to by to the famous Myrtos Beach. All in all, a fantastic stay which we would highly recommend. We look forward to visiting again.

Great Holiday!!
As a party of nine we spent two weeks at Villa Gallini. The views over the infinity pool are stunning and the villa surpassed all expectations, great attention to detail such as welcome pack,complimentary hand soap, hairdryer and beach towels. The owner was very helpful and always available for any queries,nothing was too much trouble. One big plus was the use of the facilties (pool,gym etc) at the Emelisse Hotel. In our experience we would recommend getting a taxi from the airport to the villa and hire a car locally, we made the mistake of hiring two cars and driving from the airport and only actually needing one car.

Lovely clean villa with fantastic views.
Lovely villa with fantastic views. Well appointed and clean. The master bedroom at the top of the villa is beautiful. Open the french windows to be woken by the sunrise as it comes up over the mountains. Simply stunning! Pool is a little small but great for cooling down which is all we wanted really. BBQ is a bit strangely located - be better if it was on the same floor as the kitchen/pool. Perhaps for that reason it didn't look too used and was a bit dirty/rusty. We bought disposable BBQs and used the stands from the BBQ to rest them on so we didn't damage the stone work. The cleaning staff came in twice a week with fresh linen and towels and were lovely. Its a bit of a climb from the beach and the town but nothing we couldn't handle and helped work off the extra calories from all the delicious food from the wealth of restaurants Fiskardo has to offer. Thoroughly recommend it!
