Mi è piaciuto: Pulizia
Not quite 5 out of 5
A wonderful house with everything you need – from pool and sunbeds to barbecue and balconies and comfortable seating areas. Could not give 5* as I booked it based on the reviews and the promise of a warm welcome and being well stocked, but didn't feel this was the case.
The airport is not an issue and we quite liked the occasional plane taking off/landing – although a couple of noisy days. The wonderful thing is that on arrival we walked at 11 p.m. from the airport to the property in about 15-20 minutes - not much farther than some of the car hire places. I did ask Agni about transfers but they just sent me a link to a company that quoted me about £20 pp - just wish they could have given a clearer picture rather than a generic answer. (Concerns re how many agents involved – VRBO, Host, Agni and homeowner. Also did not appreciate insurance being added on top of the price)
Ammes beach is walkable in about 25-30 minutes and is lovely with a few (3) really nice bars and restaurants. We could not find much else around. The shop is wonderful. Very small, but the people are friendly and stayed open (luckily) when we turned up on the first night and had to get some supplies. There was a 2l bottle of water in the fridge in the house, some crackers and a few sachets of coffee, sugar, etc. We were hoping to find the bottle of wine but didn’t get that till the next day.
Information – there were bits and pieces of information around the place. Various dos and don’ts. If you need medical help there is a phone number, but the nearest pharmacy seemed to be a drive away and we had to go to Argostoli. It is a shame they haven’t made more of the area and opened up more bars and shops. Having a car made things much easier.
The homeowner visited with the welcome wine. He mainly seemed to just want to make sure we would be out of the house at certain times – once in the middle of the holiday from 10-2 so cleaners could come in (the only time they did) and once on going-home day (no provision for storing luggage - our flight home was at 10 p.m. – another reason to need a car.) On going-home day a pool cleaner started using the hose at 8.30 which affected showers! . He did turn the hose off readily when asked.
There are lilos and stuff in the garage – even a table tennis table. If you like sunsets like me don’t go in June as the trees between the two houses block it out.
A wonderful holiday in beautiful Kefalonia! The house is lovely.
