31 August to 7 September 2019
We have stayed at many villas over the years and have to say this was the best so far. The view is amazing, the facilities and cleanliness of the villa is excellent and the location perfect. Listening to the goats passing by whilst reading on a sun lounger was perfect.

Superb secluded villa
My wife and 2 children (10 and 12) spent 2 weeks here in August and loved every minute. The booking arrangements were very straightforward, and the directions to, instructions for and local info supplied about the villa were excellent - including the various recommended local eateries (the nearest 10 minutes walk up the hill and the others a short drive away). The villa very much lives up to the impressive photos, and the island is beautiful and ideal for a relaxing holiday.

Fabulous 5 Star Villa
We have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay in Villa Asteri. We were looking for a quiet location close to Skala and Katelios and think we found the perfect place. The villa is extremely well equipped and immaculately maintained. But it’s the stunning views, especially from the wonderful infinity pool, that we will all remember about Villa Asteri.

Superb villa in a beautiful location
We can highly recommend this villa. It is very well laid out with spaces for sun and shade. We particularly liked the outdoor seating area. The views are stunning and the smells from the garden flowers on the veranda or pool are heavenly. The villa has everything you need to dine in but we ate out nearly every night at the numerous tavernas in the local area. A car is essential, the local supermarkets well stocked and the island of Kefalonia is a gem. Highly recommended

Asteri Villa ~ Old Scala, Kefalonia....... absolutely perfect!
We have just returned from the most fabulous week in Kefalonia, the minute that we spotted villa Asteri online we knew that it ticked all our boxes, and we were not disappointed!
The booking process, the flights, hire car arrangements , directions & villa info was all spot on!
The villa was spotless and the welcome food was a lovely touch.
We have stayed in many villas over the years and this has totally raised the bar! We can not recommend it highly enough!
The swimming pool was stunning... clean, warm and with a beautiful outlook.
The surrounding area was wonderful, it was nice to get out and explore the island, such friendly people and yummy food.
We had the most wonderful time.... the only thing we would change is we wished we had stayed another week!
Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome...... 😀

Peaceful
We found the Villa high up in the hillside, so quiet and peaceful with nothing to hear apart from the goats, as they walked past with their bells jingling around their necks.
We made use of the pool early in the morning, then sat outside and had breakfast, can't beat it. A beautiful place to chill.
The only recommendation I could possibly help anyone with is, when you book your hire car, get one with a 4 wheel drive. We had a large Fiat saloon and had to return it after 2 days to Addcar because when we went round and up some of the steep hills we could smell the clutch. Addcar (recommended) were very understanding and understood the problem, they gave us a 4 wheel drive automatic, same steep hills, problem gone.

Amazing Kefalonia Hideaway
Six of us stayed at this beautifully styled & luxurious villa. Every detail and requirement is carefully considered to ensure this villa really is a home from home. It's entirely private with amazing views, yet only 5 minutes from the village & beach of Skala. Highly recommended.

Location, Location, Location!
We chose Villa Asteri due to the location, description of the villa and facilities and it did not disappoint, there is no doubt that this is the best location to enjoy the stunning sea views across Skala especially from the infinity pool and patio areas. The villa is set in a very peaceful location and not overlooked, a car is essential due to the rural location in the hills of Old Skala, however it is only a short drive down the hill to Skala and the beach where there are ample supermarkets a bakery and butchers. The villa is well maintained and the cleaners visited twice during our 7 night stay to change towels and give the villa a basic clean, there were also ample pool towels provided. Within a relatively short drive you can reach the fishing village of Katelios where there are plenty of restaurants specialising in seafood and in the opposite direction you can easily reach the village of Poros. The infinity pool has walk in steps and a seated area with massage jets, although the pool is heated above ambient temperature personally we would have liked it a few degrees warmer to be able to sit comfortably and enjoy the in pool spa jets but for swimming and cooling off in the sun the pool temperature was fine. The owner is very helpful and responsive to email contact and the management company responded promptly with the master key to the safe due to the previous occupants leaving it closed. The owner recommended Greekstones car hire who provided a very competitive price when emailed directly and we were met at the airport on arrival and departure by their representatives. We would definitely recommend this villa and Greekstones Car Hire to any friends visiting Kefalonia.

Absolutely stunning!
This is without doubt the most spectacular villa you could wish to find. Everything and more than you could hope for, from the space, comfort, furnishings, equipment and servicing to the stunning location, views and amazing infinity pool. Villa Asteri is a star amongst stars!

An outstanding villa with a view to die for
We'd driven by Villa Asteri on a previous visit to Skala (lovely, unspoilt place) and determined to try to book it in the future. It was as wonderful as we had imagined. The owners have thought of everything and it was a beautiful haven on the most lovely, still-unspoilt island. We will return.

Fantastic villa in a fantastic location.
Stayed here for a week & we absolutely loved it. The villa was so peaceful - most of the time all you could hear were the birds singing & the occasional goat bell. Although small, Skala had some great places to eat & a few shops to look around. It was fairly quiet when we went (last week of May) but that was perfect for us.

Exceptional villa with amazing views and infinity pool
Have just returned from Villa Asteri which exceeded our expectations. It is in a tranquil location with an amazing view from the terrace. Our only problem was choosing which of the multiple outdoor areas to take in the amazing view. The pool is great and the villa is immaculately clean with cleaning service twice a week. The welcome pack was fabulous. It is an easy short drive to Skala and Kaminia/mounda beach. You will definitely not be disappointed booking this villa. The view of stars at night time was also great and how we ended each day of our holiday.

Beautiful villa with a stunning view
From the moment we made our initial enquiry the owner, Michael, was extremely helpful with everything including car hire. The villa lived up to all expectations from the website! It was extremely well resourced with a stunning view and we quickly felt at home. The pool was a little chilly as we were there at the very start of the season but we still managed a dip nearly every day. The cleaner came twice during our stay & it was nice to have all our towels replaced.
We can’t recommend this villa highly enough. We’ve had a wonderful week - peaceful & relaxing! Many thanks

Fabulous view from a luxury villa
The villa is exactly as it appears in the photos and has a most amazing view. Although only a few minutes drive out of Skala, it is in a secluded, peaceful setting. It is very spacious and comfortable with all the home comforts you could wish for. Fabulous pool and plenty of outdoor furniture. Lovely touches such as the welcome pack of basics and cleaning twice during the week. A perfect stay.

First class.
The villa was exactly as it showed. Beautifully furnished especially the outdoor space which we utilised all week. Did not watch the TV at all. Spent the evenings outside chatting.
Kitchen was well equipped. Had everything we needed.
Having the property cleaned twice during our stay was a luxury. Fresh towels and bedding... perfect.
The host replied quickly to my messages and was very accommodating.
And finally the views were to die for.

Luxury villa in a spectacular location
What a fabulous villa, certainly the best villa that we have ever stayed in. The spacious, clean and well laid out accommodation made our stay extremely pleasurable. The villa was equipped with everything that we needed. The fabulous outside area with the infinity pool provided plenty of space to relax and soak up the rays and when it got too hot, the air conditioning indoors and insect screens on all of the windows and patio doors ensured that we had somewhere cool to retire to. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, very peaceful and relaxing and would definitely recommend this luxury villa. Hopefully we will return next year.
