Fig & Olive Villa - Private 5 bed Villa just 50m from Pessada Beach

This is a family home with levels up and down… maybe not suitable with anyone with mobility problems. Plenty shade areas Small private stone beach 2 mins walk crystal clear waters

Check in was easy. The property was beautifully presented and had everything we needed

Perfect for our needs, we were a group of seven adults. Villa well appointed, and the local host made sure we were comfortable and all set for our ten-day stay. He provided lots of restaurant suggestions - and even booked us a table at one place for our first night.The beach is a short walk down steps to the sea, shaded by bamboo, and a tricky walk over rocks (or a ten min swim) and you have a sandy beach too. Lovely to be able to pop down for a morning or evening dip without parking & when it’s quiet. Liked being near Argostoli for the museum and botanic garden - and bakeries. There are lovely swim spots all down the coast just outside Argostoli. We were lucky enough to be snorkelling and watched a loggerhead turtle - and even saw a seal! Apparently it’s one of the few places left to see monk seals. Felt very fortunate. Hired a boat one day, great to see the island from the sea. Kefalonia greener than other islands I’ve visited, and full of flowers and garden centres! Food wonderful, great hiking up the mountain (shaded by fir trees). Local honey farm worth a visit, and people very hospitable. Gorgeous sea and wonderful weather.

We completely loved Fig & Olive!!! Not only is the villa stunning, location wonderful and beach one of our new favourites but the attention to detail and little touches made our stay really special. The owners have put a lot of thought into making guests comfortable. The beds and linen were super, loads of fluffy towels including beach towels! Kitchen very well stocked even my chef husband couldn’t complain. They even provided a cool box for beach days. BBQ is great and the pool is perfect for a refresher and letting the kids let off steam. Mid week service and pool regularly cleaned. The villa manger was beyond helpful and nothing was even any trouble. Welcome goodies so could sit down with a cuppa and relax after journey. So wholeheartedly recommend and we are desperate to book our next visit!!
