5.0 / 5.0
stayed for 2 weeks with family, thoroughly enjoyed the pool which grandchildren were rarely out of. There was a bit of a climb to and from the beach which was very close, although rocky the water was very clear and even saw a turtle whilst snorkeling.
Local restaurant close by had a good menu albeit a bit limited and very friendly and welcombed our children who were not always on their best behaviour.
Villa manager, Will was great and extremely friendly and helpful and a mine of information about the island and where to go and best places to eat. Also arranged taxis and boat hire
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this villa and the people who own and run it

Perfectly sized villa for our Family stay, the kids spend most of the holiday in the pool. Fired up the BBQ most evenings after visiting the butcher ten minutes away with an exceptional setup. Villa was well equipped and the air conditioning coped with the 38 degrees outside. The host and team were very friendly and accommodating.

We had a great stay in Pesada. The villa was lovely, just as advertised, clean , new and great location. Will the manager was so helpful and really made our stay very special. We had a great time. Would highly recommend.

We had a brilliant week, the villa was lovely and had everything you needed. The pool and garden is very pretty. The owner, manager and cleaners were all very helpful and informative. It is only a 5 minute walk to the cute little beach and 10 minutes to the harbour where you can get the ferry to Zante. There was one restaurant which is open in peak season only. Just to be aware there are no shops nearby so you really need a car or use taxis like we did to travel around, there was 9 of us so it worked out relatively cheaply and the firm we used were excellent and very friendly. All in all a fantastic holiday.

We really enjoyed our time at the villa. We loved the pool an outside area. Basic inside area which could have been a little cleaner and a few things not working (for example living room lightbulbs, kitchen tab wobbly, TV not functional and no promised mid week clean). However the location right by the beach is perfect and we had a wonderful time with our family.

We have just returned from a lovely week at Villa Mandalay in Kefalonia, it was perfect for what we needed as a party of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids under 10). Plenty of space to shelter from the sun during the day while keeping an eye on the kids who made full use of the private pool. The ice cool aircon was welcome in each bedroom after a day in the sun!
If you are adventurous I would suggest hiring a car as the villa is quite out of the way and that can make grocery shopping a lot easier too, but we managed to get shopping delivered from a local supermarket with the help of the ever brilliant Emma, the villa manager. Emma helped to sort everything for us, including cabs for the wedding we were attending, and we couldn't be more thankful for her help, she's fantastic.
On the subject of shopping, it is quite possible to walk to the minimarket at Spatia (we did this a couple of times), it is an hours round trip but essential for fresh fruit and it is worth going early (opens at 8am).
The Sunset Taverna just a short walk away is great for a Greek Salad at lunchtime, a Souvlaki at dinner or just for a quick ice cream run. I'd read that the people there could be fairly miserable but if you engage with them and talk to them they are lovely people!
Overall a lovely place and we would not hesitate to go back

We have recently returned from a lovey 2 week family holiday at Villa Mandalay and we really didn’t want to come home!! The Villa was perfect for us and in a lovely quiet location with great sea views.
Emma (manages the villa) was very helpful and very quick at responding to any queries we had. We highly recommend staying here.
