Further details for this holiday villa rental in Grizata,Sami , Greece
The largest of the Ionian Islands, Kefalonia is unspoilt, with a varied, beautiful landscape. The island is very friendly, particularly in Grizata!

The beautiful views from the front of the villa are of olive groves & cypress trees . Crizata is a small Greek village 3km away from Sami port where you can find good restaurants, harbour side bars & tavernas, internet cafe, shopping (fresh fish, fruit markets) .
Sightseeing :
Antisamos famous beach is only 7km away from the Villa: a spectacular beach surrounded by impressive verdant hills, with turquoise-blue, crystal clear water ideal for snorkelling. Water sports on offer.
Along the coastline Sami - Agia Efimia (3-12 km from the Villa) there are numerous little white pebble coves with crystal clear water, ideal for snorkelling.One of them is Santa Paraskevi , with beach bar and a nice restaurant/taverna by the sea.

Melissani Lake 7 km from the Villa: again situated just outside Sami, is an underground cave with a lake where you can be punted around in a rowing boat. When the sun is overhead around midday it hits the turquoise-blue waters, creating a magical illusion and suddenly filling the cave with blue light.A boat trip on its bluish green water is a wonderful experience

Fantastic holiday in a beautiful location
Dimitris (the owner) was excellent from the time of booking online until our stay at his amazing villa. Dimitris sent us great directions on how to find the villa from the airport and also lots of places and suggestions to eat and visit during our stay. The villa was not difficult to find thanks to his directions and it is set in a very peaceful location, perfect for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of life. The villa was immaculate and the photos on VRBO are accurate although do not do the outside space just or as this area around the pool and the balcony area are amazing. We were grateful for the bottle of wine on arrival and the fabulous cream cakes. This was our first visit to Kefalonia which is a truly beautiful island with so much to see and do and we have already started to plan another holiday next year. We wholeheartedly recommend this villa if you want to get away from it all but a car is necessary to get the most from your stay. Thank you Dimitris for being so accommodating and for welcoming us to your beautiful villa and we hope to see you again next year.

Beautiful villa, central location, great host
Villa Chrysanthi is a beautiful, clean, well equipped villa in a lovely, quiet, woodland spot on the edge of Grizata village, yet near to Sami and well situated for exploring all of Kefalonia. We used the swimming pool every day, enjoying the beautiful views and little birds flying across. It was great to have pool towels, as well as bathing towels provided. The communication with the lovely owner, Dimitris, before and during our stay was excellent. He sent recommendations for beaches, trips and local tavernas to help us plan our stay. The bottle of local San Gerasimos wine and big box of delicious pastries from an Argostoli bakery were really thoughtful gifts. We hired a car for the week and enjoyed swimming and snorkelling in crystal clear waters at beaches near Sami and in the north and south of the island. The villa is also a short drive from the spectacular Drogerati Cave and Melissani Lake. Our holiday highlight was a self-drive motor boat trip from nearby Agia Efimia, exploring beautiful, secluded white pebbly coves along the north east coast. A wonderful villa for anyone wanting to explore this beautiful island.

We thought the villa was excellent, authentic, secluded, with lots of nice touches. Great pool and view and Dimitris was very helpful and informative. We really like Sami - down at the harbour in the evenings overlooking Ithaca, as well as the many great bathing stops along the coast to Agia Effimia and the tropical atmosphere at Antisanos and swimming with so many fish there. Would definitely recommend this area over Lassi on the other side.

Beautiful Villa
We enjoyed our stay at Chrisanthi Villa very much. It was a bit of a rough start since the Villa is a bit hard to find. The driveway to get there is not obvious. But after we found it we appreciated its isolation. The villa is very well equipped and the kitchen is easy to use and also fully equipped. Demitris was very helpful and communicated with us several times during thestay to see if we needed anything and if everything was working as it should. We enjoyed ourselves and would consider a return visit should we plan another trip to the Ionian Islands.

Easy access to great beaches
The villa location is great if you want to explore the island. The villa is a short drive to Sami, Melissani Cave and Antisamo beach. You will need a car as the villa is a remote part of the island. The outside space of the villa is beautiful, the swimming pool and BBQ area make the end of the day even more special. Dimitris is always available and willing to help.

Well equipped villa - perfect for a relaxing stayy.
The villa was very well eqiupped with everything you could need and spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds and good air conditioning, perfect for the quiet get away we were hoping for. The owner, Dimitris, was accommodating and very helpful as our flight arrived late in the evening but he was there to welcome us and provide useful information about the villa, local restaurants, etc. We had one minor issue with no hot water on one day but Dimitris had someone around less than an hour after we called him to fix it and he then turned up a few days later with a bottle of wine as an apology (when it wasn't really needed, but it just showed what a genuinely nice people the owners are). The villa has a slightly larger sister villa right next door so it's not completely out on it's own but we never really noticed the family who were staying there as the villas are separated quite well. Sami is only 5 minuutes drive away and has a few supermarkets for essentials. I would highly recommend this villa.

Family gathering in Kefalonia!
The villa was exactly as described. Our hosts Dimitris and Nikki were there to greet us on our late arrival, with cakes and wine to settle ourselves into such a beautiful country environment. Having a few days to ourselves before our family arrived, we relaxed by the pool before travelling by car a few miles to Sami for a wonderful selection of Tavernas and Bars. As there were six of us, Dimitris had already arranged extra bedding and any small maintenance tasks needed were dealt with promptly. Lovely cleaners looked after the property every 3 days, along with the pool man who kept everything spotless early in the day so that we could make great use of the pool starting in the morning! It really was a 'home from home' with everything needed for a great stay including plenty of parking. BBQ's in the evening sun with plenty of chairs and sunbeds making great use of the shade and sunny sides of the pool. A lovely adult family holiday - we will certainly consider villa holidays again after this wonderful experience!
