About the area
Sami
Located in Kefalonia, this villa is near the beach. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Myrtos Beach and Porto Katsiki Beach. Looking to get your feet wet? Scuba diving, snorkelling and sailing adventures can be found near the property.
Beautiful property with the most amazing view over to Ithaca. Facilities and space excellent. The infinity pool was just perfect for cooling off. The welcome platter was delicious and plenty of it!
Being up the mountain meant we benefitted from it being a few degrees cooler and the soft breeze very welcome! Although walkable to Foki beach and Fiskardo— not really possible to walk back up the hill on a regular basis. We discovered a lovely walk through the woods down to Fiskardo but only my 17 year old son ran both down and back. The rest of us took the car back. We hired a car and the integrated garage was invaluable for keeping it cool. Driving down to Fiskardo was a bit hairy at first with the steep drop offs and no barrier but we soon got into the Greek way of driving. Fiskardo was very sheek and surprisingly not too expensive despite the plethora of super yachts.
Wonderful relaxing holiday. Would definitely love to come back.
Great, well equipped Villa - lots of space for 2 families or larger group - we stayed as 2 families
Quiet location and short drive into Fiskardo. Good engagement with owner and excellent recommendations.for places to eat etc .Local property services company available for all support. Overall highly recommended.
The property is a very well presented, beautifully located spacious villa. It is superbly equipped, is very private and has the most amazing panoramic views of Fiskado and the surrounding islands. It’s only a short 10 minute drive to some excellent tavernas and restaurants in and around the picturesque harbour town of Fiskado, which has a lovely vibe. We would heartily recommend the property to families with older children and groups of friends, it is stunning!
Villa Rosa is a top of the range villa with stunning views over Fiskado and Ithaca. It is very well equipped and the garage parking is a bonus as it keeps the cars cool. The welcome picnic was excellent and the home made marmalade was delicious.
We are a family of 7 ages 14 to 79 years.
The layout of the property was perfect for us, with the bedrooms downstairs being at either end of the villa and each with their own bathroom.
The upstairs had another bathroom between the 2 bedrooms.
There are several steps up to the property.
We drove to the nearest village to eat and walked home which was exactly 2km, mainly downhill. Easily walked both ways for most people. The village also had a couple shops which had ample stock if you didnt want to go further afield.
We enjoyed eating in Kefall-onia taverna in Maganos. There were a couple other tavernas also.
Upon arrival we were delighted with the platters of food left for us, along with milk, water and wine.
There is a Tassimo coffee machine. Pods for these can be found in the discount supermarket a few kilometers away.
The views were outstanding and I would love to return to this beautiful villa.
Fell in love with Friskado…. Villa Rosa absolutely stunning, magical views over the Ionian Sea!
Beautiful accommodation for 6 girlfriends celebrating birthdays! Spacious bedrooms two of which en-suite, lovely big kitchen/dinner with all that you would need for cooking! Brilliant bbq , patios and the most wonderful infinity pool with views to die for!! 15/20 min walk to Friskado….taxis available but you might want to hire a car as well! Will definitely be back!
Villa Rosa is situated a couple of miles from Fiskardo. It is blessed with panoramic views over to Lefkas, Ithaca and the mainland. The house itself is well equipped and very comfortable but if you are as lucky as we were with the weather most of your time will be spent outside enjoying the view and refreshing in the infinity pool. All the arrangements for the house were efficiently dealt with plus the added bonus of cold wine and a delicious lunch waiting us in the refrigerator started the holiday off on the right foot,
Many thanks for letting us use your Villa which we would thoroughly recommend.
Exceeds expectations as a villa, location and village. Superb accommodation and the most beautiful location. Can’t fault the communication and process, in location property managers also superb. Look forward to staying again, many thanks to the owners.
Villa Rosa is a fantastic property and the perfect base to explore the North of the island. 5 stars
We were 2 x couples with 4 small children (ages 20 months - 3 years). The Villa is huge with 4 x spacious bedrooms, one of which has 2 x private balconies. The views from the Villa across the sea are beautiful. We found this a great base to explore the local area with several beaches all within a close drive of the Villa.... Emplisi, Foki and Jerusalem being are 3 of choice. The nearby village of Maganos has a couple of little supermarkets with fresh fruit and veg and several tavernas (and a garage church was useful when we experienced a puncture on the hire car!) . Linda was very helpful throughout. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough!
Stayed in July 2019. Clean very spacious villa which was well fitted out. Comfortable beds and air conditioning throughout. Very useful basement garage which kept the cars cool.Quiet location with little passing traffic. Brilliant infinity pool with fantastic views . Due to the position of the villa we had sun on the pool or patios from early morning till 7/8 pm. Very tasty food platter and wine was waiting for us on arrival
The owner Linda was very helpful in dealing with all my pre holiday queries and questions.
We used the BBQ on 3 occasions. Favourite restaurants were Apagio in Fiskardo and Odysseus at Jerusalem beach. Vegera ,a little way out of Fiskardo, is also worth a visit especially on Saturday evening when they have Greek music and dancing (90% locals!) + sunset views.
We did the Ionian Discoveries Marine Adventure boat excursion which we really enjoyed and which I would recommend.
The local beaches were busy so best to go early especially Foki.
Assos also worth a visit- very pretty and nice places to eat.
We had a great holiday and would definitely recommend the villa to others considering staying in the Fiskardo area
Villa Rosa is a lovely spacious villa set on 3 levels with a secure basement parking for two cars. The property contains all the facilities that any family would want to enjoy a relaxing stay in this wonderful area of Kefalonia.

Spacious villa with all home comforts and an amazing view.
Clean, comfortable, spacious villa. Fly screens and shutters on all windows and air conditioned throughout. Brilliant underground garage with clicker access, which meant the car was always cool for our travels. Absolutely stunning views across the mouth of Fiscado bay across to neighbouring islands. We did a 15 minute car journey down to Fiscado for dinner every evening. Our particular favourite was Elli’s on the front, brilliant service and wonderful food. We also visited Picnic in Antipata on the morning of our departure for breakfast, beautiful fluffy pancakes and maple syrup, but you need to book at the weekends though.
Maid service to the villa was very good and Maria was lovely, they came every 2/3 days and changed sheets and towels.
Linda the owner was extremely helpful throughout booking, advising us on car hire and providing comprehensive directions to the villa. We used the sat nav on our mobile phone to direct us to the villa, which made it extremely easy. About 1 hour 15 minutes from the airport.
All in all an unforgettable holiday and one that we didn’t want to return from!

Fantastic Villa! Pictures don't do it justice
Just returned from a weeks break at Villa Rosa. The Villa couldn't have been more perfect. Great pool, great facilities and great views.
I myself am jealous of the huge electric garage which makes driving up into the villa so easy.
Linda was extremely helpful with putting our mind at ease before the holiday answering any questions we had whilst also giving directions from the airport. The little things also made this trip so much more enjoyable such as the welcome picnic which was there when we arrived.
The Ionian Property Services / Property Managers were also very helpful and friendly stopping in on our 2nd day just to see if we had any questions about the local area. Whilst I feel ignorant not knowing too much Greek everyone spoke very good English which does always help. (Same goes for the restaurants in Fiskardo)
The Villa is a short easy drive down to the great town of Fiskardo where restaurants are plentiful and all the locals are extremely friendly. We did eat out almost every night as this town is so close to the villa and there are so many options. I would recommend the Salmon risotto in Apagio towards the end of the town.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would recommend to anyone!!

Beautiful, peaceful, comfortable villa with a view
We booked Villa Rosa for a special family holiday, and it fitted the bill perfectly for ourselves and two of our children with their partners. There was enough room for the 6 of us not to feel on top of each other, and we all had our privacy. The pool was wonderful and we also took trips to the beach, hired a boat for a day to go over to Ithaca, and ate every night in Fiscardo.
We loved it so much we have already booked for next year!

Family holiday
having spent a week in Fiscardo on the waterfront a few years ago and loved it, we booked this wonderful villa for a family holiday for 8 adults, and looked forward to returning. We had the most relaxing week. The villa had everything we needed, the view was amazing, and the pool fantastic. really important for the 2 oldies was that the beds were very comfortable and it was quiet. We all enjoyed our own space and bathrooms! A broken DVD player was replaced the next day. The directions we were given were good.
When we arrived there was a really welcome lunch platter and bottle of wine in the fridge! We hired a boat for the day and went over to Ithaca and walked up the hill to Stavros for lunch. We ate in Fiscardo every evening except 2, using the BBQ once and travelling a bit further to watch the sunset another evening. we have already booked to go again next year.

Stunning villa in a stunning location!
Everything about this villa is just simply 5*, from the location to the villa and home comforts it has.
An awful lot of thought has gone into the detail of this villa to ensure you have all your needs for a truly wonderful holiday.
The location oozing peace & quietness, with the lovely town of Fiscardo only minutes in away the car or a lovely walk for the fit and able! Lots of fabulous restaurants to choose from along the harbour.
The views from the property are amazing, watching the boats sail in and out of Fiscardo whilst eating breakfast on the terrace is pure heaven.
This villa feels more like home than the run of the mill rental property.
We were unfortunate to have a few thunder storms, however the collection of DVD's kept us amused until they cleared.
I have no hesitation recommending this villa and will return.

Amazing Villa with Stunning Views
This was our 3rd stay at Villa Rosa and we are already booked for next year! We have stayed in many villas in this area but have finally settled on Villa Rosa as our favourite.
The owners have provided everything needed for a comfortable and memorable holiday. They are helpful and supported by an excellent management team who look after the villa. It is always immaculately clean and is very spacious. We usually travel with friends and privacy is never an issue because of the well planned layout. The views from the terrace are stunning.
We love the local area and enjoy catching up with all the friends we have made in the local shops and in the tavernas. There are many excellent tavernas within easy reach of the of the villa and without having to go into Fiskardo, the villa has a file with many of them listed. Fiskardo is a vibrant harbour town with good supermarket shopping, many tavernas and other more touristy shops. It is nice to sit at the harbour front with a glass of wine and people watch as well as watching the ballet of all the yachts coming in to moor.
Our only consolation when we leave at the end of our holiday is the knowledge that we will return!

Just Perfect
We had a really lovely holiday in kefalonia. Villa Rosa was beautiful and suited our needs perfectly thank you. It was immaculately clean, very well equipped, and ideally placed.
We had four generations of my family there, and every one of us felt it was perfect. The people we met in connection with the villa were all really helpful and courteous.
We loved Fiskado, exploring several different beaches, and eating in the lovely restaurants. We had a couple of delicious breakfasts at Picnic.
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful villa, it was a little piece of heaven for us all

Lovely Villa in a great location
We have just reluctantly returned from a weeks stay in Villa Rosa, and have already been thinking of dates for a return visit!
The villa is lovely and very spacious - the pictures on here don't do it justice. The outside area is large with lots of different seating areas to take advantage of the wonderful views.
The owners were very helpful from the moment we booked, answering lots of questions, providing accurate driving directions and also leaving provisions for arrival which were much appreciated!
The Villa is in a very quiet spot in the north, with easy access to beautiful beaches, the lovely town of Fiskardo where we ate dinner most nights, and small supermarkets to pick up provisions. We found quite a few footpaths nearby. A hire car is a must, but don't let that put you off, the roads are quiet and you soon learn your way around.
I would highly recommend this villa, and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful villa with stunning views
Villa Rosa is an incredibly special place, perched high above the town of Fiscardo with stunning views from the terrace and pool. It is luxuriously appointed, as you might expect from a villa which is frequently used by the owners, with loads of extras making cooking for groups easy. Other personal touches such as up to date recommendations of where to eat locally also enhance te holiday experience. We visited first a few years ago and liked it so much we returned in 2013 with friends.

The Wow Factor
Our first impressions on entering the villa were "wow" - Villa Rosa has a beautiful setting with fantastic views. Lovely outside areas - larger than they looked on the photographs. Internally the accommodation was spacious and well equipped. The provisions on arrival gave it that "extra special touch".
Short drive into Fiskardo with its many restaurants - our favourites were Ellies and Tselenti. Also recommended Picnic (in Antipata) for breakfast and lunch.
We would certainly recommend the villa to friends and family and all those looking for a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings.

Unbelievable views
Villa Rosa was a beautiful and well equipped villa with stupendous views! Set in a beautiful quiet location and yet so close to the delightful port of Fiskardo with all of its amenities. The welcome pack had everything we needed on arrival. We have taken holidays in villas for the past ten years and this has to be the best we have stayed in,
We had a wonderful time at the house. It was very spacious with the indoor and outdoor space. only 10 minutes to Fiscardo and the beach. The views were stunning, something a picture can not capture. The house had everything we needed and loved that we could open the windows and sleep without air conditioning since all the windows had a screen. Would 100% recommend it.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Tuffs
Five years ago Gerry and I visited Kephalonia for the first time and fell in love with the island, especially the unspoilt northern part where the pine forests go right down to the incredible blue of the Ionian Sea. We particularly love the picturesque port of Fiscardo with its pretty Venetian style houses and tavernas surrounding the busy harbour. We were lucky enough to buy a piece of land just a few kilometres from Fiscardo with stunning panoramic views. We never tire of the breathtaking views and nothing can beat sitting on the patio with a glass of wine and watching Ithaka turn pink with the setting sun.
Everyone who's stayed at the villa have fallen in love with the house and the area and we hope you will too.
