Epic Villa, Agia Efimia, Kefalonia, Walk to Beach

My sister and I had a wonderful time staying at Villa Hara in Agia Efimia. The place was perfect, the town was charming and Hara was great and very attentive.

The villa was very well equipped and very clean. The owner was helpful and gave us information about the area.There is a lovely terrace with sea views and it is quite close to the village and restaurants etc. On the down side, It could do with some updating and we felt it was expensive

My sister and I just LOVED this peaceful, totally private property with stunning panoramic views. we both needed a rest and Hara's villa provided that and more! Plenty of seating areas in shade and sun and a lovely little garden area. We adored the gentle sound of tinkling goat bells coming from the woods behind the villa. It was a 5-10 minutes walk into the harbour past the local village horse. So many good tavernas and we ate at as many as we could, when not out elsewhere for the day, but needed longer for them all. We particularly liked the Sea Rock, The Pergola and The Local and also the local bar and coffee shop with the blue and white chairs and tables, where they made great cocktails. Communication with Hara before our trip was easy and when we arrived we found the most amazing welcome pack of juice, milk,water, wine, fruit, butter, cheese, fresh bread,cake and all the cupboard neccessities including local olive oil produced by Hara's family. Hara herself was a total delight...warm, friendly welcoming and considerate and we had some lovely conversations with her. She regularly came to change towels and bedding and provided all loo rolls, kitchen roll and serviettes. Aghia Effemia is a delightful village and harbour with a mix of tourists and locals and I was remembered from previous visits by some of local taverna staff. We hired a car and airport pick up from Nikos and Katerina (Starvillas) and travelled to many places in North and North east of island.

Nous avons passé 5 nuits dans la maison d’Hara : tout est impeccable, la cuisine très bien équipée et nous avons apprecié la climatisation dans les chambres ! Hara et sa soeur sont adorables, leur maman habite je crois dans un logement contre la maison mais nous ne l’avons ni vue ni entendue et espérons ne pas avoir eté bruyants pour elle avec notre famille nombreuse !

We stayed for 2 weeks in July and had a great stay at Villa Hara, spacious and clean with a great barbecue area, lovely views and a 10mins walk into Agia Efimia. Hara and her sister were both lovely and very welcoming, couldn't do enough for us. I would highly recommend this property we had a very enjoyable stay.
