Had a wonderful vacation.
6.0 / 10.0
We were received by Louise the housekeeper who kept our accommodation immaculately throughout our stay and made a very good first impression. Second impressions were a little less favourable - overhead power cables directly in the view, a bland exterior and smallish pool which had been cleverly photographed to look ‘more’. The upper rooms (3) were well appointed but the lower rooms (2) were a little bit second class. The kitchen is very small and poorly equipped for any guests planning to cook. Having stayed at several villas in the Ionian, we wouldn’t return to this villa or recommend it to friends but that said it’s in a good location and didn’t taint our enjoyment of our holiday.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Akrivi was exceptional- she was always there to answer questions and made various bookings for us. Thank you for EVERYTHING. We loved Fiskardo- hope to come back soon.

Everything was perfect! Villa, location and pre-arrival communication all spot on…couldn’t have had a lovelier holiday! Can thoroughly recommend and Luise was amazing - kept the place very clean and was so lovely.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

The property is in a secluded location with beautiful views over trees to the sea. The interior is very calm and uncluttered with clean lines. The owner/property manager is very professional and kind and was so helpful to us in various ways. We had a lovely stay and I think mos anyone would in this lovely property in the nicest part of lovely Kefalonia.

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!
