About this villa rental
Almost at the tip of the Liakas peninsular, which points south across the sea towards Zante, Villa Penelope enjoys peerless sea views. A well laid out, smart and beautifully finished Villa inside, the outside really steals the show with a variety of areas from which to enjoy those views, day and night. There's a rocky platform down by the sea, accessed via a short footpath and a sandy beach for bathing just a short 5 mins drive away.
Location
If you are eating out, there are tavernas just 5 mins drive away in the village of Spartia , where there is also a minimarket and above the arc of sandy beach down on the coast there are another couple of tavernas.
For a wider choice it is not much more than a 10 min drive to Argostoli where an evening walking the promenade and around the square before making a choice of restaurants is not to be missed.

A fantastically located villa with lovely pool and exceptional views.
The pictures don’t do the villa justice, just a super spot to spend a relaxing break.
Amazing views on the headland with a minutes walk to the unique rocks to access the sea- really very special.
We had a hot week and when the air con was needed at night, it was spot on.
Greece just never disappoints us! Thoroughly recommend this villa and Freelance for what is a relaxed and quiet location. You will need a car!
Bathroom water pressure is low with overhead shower not really quite good enough so handheld shower was used but could do with a replacement head - certainly in the main upstairs double bedroom.
The shower tile grout is looking like it needs a little work to get back to its best.

Great sea views, lovely Villa, good indoor and outdoor space, good kitchen and bathrooms, a pool the Children loved playing in and comfortable bedrooms. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider going back!
The Villa would benefit from a better smart TV that was logged onto the WIFI so you could cast films to the TV and a sound system to play music from your mobile device. A slightly better layout of the couch so we could sit around the TV together as a family to watch a film would be great.

Location was the best and worst thing about the villa, once there it was fantastic with great sea views but very remote. Not restaurants within walking distance, car definitely required.

Urlaub im Paradies
Noch nie waren wir so begeistert von einem Haus, es hat einfach alles gepasst, von der Austattung bis zum Ausblick.
Etwas mehr Küchenaustattung wäre schön, z. B. Schüsseln. Die Außendusche ist nicht ganz optimal gelöst.

Villa Penelope
The setting and pool were fantastic. The welcome pack was great and really appreciated.
The interior of the villa could do with upgrading especially the kitchen. The toaster and sandwich toaster look like they are out of a 70's student bedsit. Surely for the rates that are being charged you could afford £25 for a decent toaster. There were no decent sharp knives, no glass bowls and some of the plates were chipped. The oven is also really dated. On the plus side the fridge freezer was new and really good. The internet is also really poor and we had to spend a fortune on additional data for our daughter as we couldn't get a decent signal. I realise this probably can't be helped but you advertise that internet is a special feature on your website.
