The villa is very private, not overlooked, very well equipped, the showers are powerful, beds very comfortable and villa is spacious. There are lots of shaded areas, A dining area just outside the lounge, a big shaded area near the pool with table and chairs, sofas and sun lounges when you want to get out of the sun, so no need to put the umbrellas up. There is also a nice quiet shaded area just outside the downstairs bedroom. The villa is located near Katelios which is beautiful and is about 5 minutes drive or you can walk it, (we did) took about 35 minutes and you can cut down to the beach and then walk along which cuts out a large chunk of the road. You need torches to come back, but safe enough and didn't get out of breath (looks worse in a car than it actually is). Skala is about 8/10 minutes drive and has lots of restaurants and more shops to browe. Beach wise, Katelios has a nice little beach, sandy, shallow, but best beach is Kaminia beach (about 5 minutes drive) which has a couple of laid back tavernas, and a nice sandy beach, very shallow warm water, so great for kids. Skala is shingle, and gets deep quickly. Lots of nice Taverna's in Katelios as well. The pool is big and lovely to swim in and there were lots of woggles/swim stuff in the garage, and cupboard (black door) outside. There were buckets and spades in the garage as well. We have been to Kefalonia a couple of times years ago but would recommend the area and Villa. 10 out of 10.
