About this property

Peaceful villa with private pool. Amazing sea and mountain views. Free WiFi.

Villa Regina-Koroni is a three bedroomed villa sleeping six. We hold a valid EOT Licence from the Greek Government making the villa legal for letting and to a prescribed standard. The villa is on one level with access from the large parking area at the rear via a small flight of steps. Each room has air conditioning and the villa is furnished comfortably and fully equipped.

The accommodation comprises a spacious lounge/diner with an open style well equipped kitchen. Two patio doors give access to a large paved area, 8m x 4m pool and garden. The patio area is shaded by a pergola and is equipped with a table and chairs for outside dining plus sun loungers. There is a small mobile barbeque.

There are three bedrooms, two doubles and one twin all with fitted wardrobes. The two double rooms have wonderful views over the garden, pool and sea and have direct access to the pool area via patio doors. The main double bedroom has it's own en-suite shower room. The twin room has views of Mount Aenos behind the villa and shares a full bathroom with bath, shower cubicle, basin and WC with the second double room.


Kefalonia is a spectacular and varied island well worthy of exploration. A drive across to Sami will take you through valleys of well ordered vineyards and through traditional Kefalonian villages. You will come to the monastery of St Gerasimos the island Saint with it's 16th century church. A much larger and very beautiful church was built after the 1953 earthquake. The walls are covered in vibrant paintings and it's very ornate. Twice yearly on 16th August and 20th October there is a large festival and street market, everybody on the island attends.

A visit to the top of Mount Aenos, 162 m high with views of the whole island, the Greek mainland, Zante and Lefkas is a must. A new road goes right to the summit through pine trees and moss covered boulders. For walkers there are marked trails. It's really different up on the mountain and makes a welcome change from the beach but choose a clear day!

A relaxing lunch in one of the many excellent tavernas on Sami harbour watching the ferries and yachts coming in and out is a delight. Why not take the road to Anti Samos beach, a pebble beach in a wonderful setting. The ancient ruins of Sami are worth a visit. Ferries depart from Sami to various destinations including Ithaca. A day trip to Ithaca is well worth the effort, the views from the circular coast road are outstanding and Vathy, the main town unspoiled and interesting.

Further around the bay of Sami lies the village of Aghia Efimia again with numerous good tavernas. The road from Efimia to Fiskardo in the north of the island provides wonderful views. The views on the backward trip from Fiskardo to Argostoli via Assos with it's Venetian Castle and the nearby famous Myrtos Beach is also very scenic.

Lovely villa with Beautiful views

Had a lovely few days at Villa Regina Koroni. It is in a great location with amazing sea views and lovely pool and garden area. The inside is very comfortable and is very well supplied with everything you need, the owners have obviously spent some time making sure that it is well equipped for themselves and their guests. Comfortable beds and efficient air con made for some long sleeps which were very welcome! Plenty of cupboard storage (if a liitle dated perhaps) but an excellent base for a short or longer stay. Recommended!

Stunning views, great location and beautiful villa

We had a wonderful family time at this beautiful property. Joan was kind and helpful before we went with plenty of info on various things including a fantastic car hire recommendation. This turned out to be an absolute highlight (!) with them providing further recommendations of tavernas and things to do. We loved having a handy beach (with beach bar!); the pool was stunning and we ventured far and wide and it provided a handy base for that. The local mini market was well stocked too. Gluten free is tricky in Greece so we bought enough bread and rolls with us which turned out, once again, to have been the correct decision. Eating out gluten free was fine everywhere we went, it is just the supermarkets playing catch up. The villa was peaceful with no-one in the property next door and we thoroughly enjoyed using the BBQ of an evening. We thoroughly recommend.

Villa vacation

A thoroughly enjoyable stay in villa Regina koroni. It is set in a beautiful location with views surrounding the property. The villa was spotlessly clean, well equipped with all the necessities, including Wi-Fi and air con. The owners were lovely, really helpful, accommodating and so kind to have even left us a welcome pack including a bottle of wine! Really couldn’t fault this property, as already said the location is picturesque and a really good base for getting around the island from. Thank you for making our stay so amazing!

Fabulous villa

This villa is highly recommended. Excellent directions and communication with Joan. The views are stunning and the villa has everything you could possibly need. For the teens, great wi-fi, pool and on demand films on the tv were ideal. Comfy sunbeds with good shade meant days lounging by pool and eating all meals outside were heaven. You definitely need a car as the villa is very secluded (which we loved!) and is down a little bumpy track. Keep going down the track to visit the lovely Koroni beach. We enjoyed snorkelling here to see the fish. Also recommend a trip to Argostoli in the morning to see the turtles in the harbour.

Stunning views, great pool, lovely owners

Fantastic stay, so relaxing with amazing sunsets. Pool was perfect for the family. Lots of fun had with the pool lights on for nightime swims. Lovely walk down to Koroni beach but steep so better for early mornings. Can't recommend highly enough. Car definarely needed though as its slightly off the beaten track.

Stunning location

Thank you Joan and Robin for a wonderful stay at Villa Regina Koroni. What an absolutely stunning location! We will miss waking up to those amazing views! The pool was fabulous and great fun for the kids. The villa itself was very comfortable and has everything you need. The welcome pack and pre-arrival information were so helpful. The villa is ideally located for the many local beaches and tavernas. Kefalonia is such a beautiful island, highlights for us included Myrtos, swimming with the fish in Antisamos Bay, Melisanni Underground lake, and the turtles in Argostoli! But most of all we’ll miss the pool and villa - the location is exceptional and we never tired of that view! Thank you again Joan & Robin.

Very private house with beautiful views

Very beautiful views of the island Zakinthos, mountain Ainos and a magical sunset every evening. Comfortable one-story house. Everything you need for a holiday is there. The instructions sent by Joan are very helpful as well as finding a lot of information and suggestions that they have gathered in the house. It's a pleasure to arrive to Villa Regina Koroni after a day discovering the island or dinner in taverna. A rental car is required. Many thanks to you Joan and Robin!

Wonderful Stay At Villa Regina Koroni

We have Just returned from a wonderful 10 day stay at Villa Regina Koroni on the beautiful Island of Kefalonia. As mentioned in other reviews The amazing directions to the Villa ensured that we had a stress free travel from the Airport to the Villa. The Villa is so well equipped and located with stunning views of the southern coastline (were going to miss waking up to that view). The Villa is peaceful and secluded and although quiet you are never to far from nearby towns and shops. Once settled, finding our way around the island was a doddle with great recommendations from Joan on where to visit locally..personally we enjoyed eating regularly on the seafront at nearby town 'Katellios' (The Village Lamb is incredible)..if you do ever have the privilege of staying at the Villa Regina then you simply must try watching the sunset at the nearby 'Setso' bar a few hundred yards from the Villa..it was beautiful. Overall the Villa is extremely well equipped for us and our children who loved the pool. every thought has gone into making sure our stay was as stress free and comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Joan for making our first trip to Kefalonia such a wonderful experience.

Beautiful views & sunsets

Just back from this lovely villa, the owner Joan supplied very thorough directions. From the moment you walk through the door you feel at home. Everything you could need is there. Very clean and tidy. Thank you for the welcome pack. The views and sunsets are beautiful, the pool very welcoming, I have trouble with my knees and was a bit worried about getting in and out of the pool but no problems the ladder is very secure (also confirmed by Joan before booking). The villa is in a very peaceful setting although plenty of wildlife from the goats popping down, the birds of prey souring above late afternoon and the bats swooping in over the pool at dusk. Thank you to the cleaners Nicky, Martin and Annita. We have stayed at a few villas and this is one we can recommend and would definitely like to return to Thank you Joan for sharing your villa with us

Amazing holiday

We are just back from the most wonderful holiday, we had everything we needed in the villa. When we arrived it was quite late but with the excellent directions given by Joan beforehand we arrived in no time at all they were so easy to follow even in the dark. There was a welcome pack there ready for us, teabags, bread, butter, coffee etc and even some beers in the fridge, which was lovely to have so the next morning we didn't need to rush to the shops. The next morning we woke up to the most stunning views overlooking the sea and the mountains behind, it was so peaceful there. You do require a car to get around but again Joan has put together a great folder that suggests places to go and places to eat and every place that was suggested was excellent and very reasonable. We would love to visit again without question.

Fantastic holiday

Great villa in a perfect location (feels really secluded, but only a short drive to nearby beaches and villages). The villa is extremely well equipped and comfortable, and the pool is amazing with a wonderful view over the sea. I agree with the other reviewer of the property who said the welcome pack was the best they've experienced - lovely to find such a delicious range of food and drink on arrival, and the information provided about good places to eat/visit was very thorough and useful. Oh, and the directions provided on how to get to the villa from the airport were amazing - really detailed, thank you! Shame we had to come home really!

Wow

The photographs cannot possibly do this villa justice! From the moment we approached the villa we knew we had chosen a perfect holiday location. The villa was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was the best we have ever experienced. The information folder in the villa was extremely comprehensive and included everything you needed. The peaceful and beautiful surroundings were only punctuated by the sound of the passing goats and cattle...wonderful. There are plenty of restaurants and beaches to visit within a short driving distance. A week was not enough and we shall look forward to our next visit. Thankyou Joan.

Amazing

We spent 2 weeks in June at Villa Regina Koroni our second visit to this lovely Villa which is in a stuning location with views towards Zante. The Villa has everything you need and is perfect for rest and relaxation. We loved Sesto's Bar on the way down to Koroni Beach, especially magical at night and Kastro's Taverna at St George's. Assos was absolutely beautiful. There is no shortage of places to eat just a short drive from the Villa. With it's beautiful surroundings and private pool it is hard to tear yourself away. Thank you Joan and Robin for discovering this beautiful oasis.

MAGICAL

Our stay at Villa Regina was truly amazing. When we opened the patio doors the views took our breath away. It was better than we imagined. The facilities were excellent and everything in the villa you could ever need ..Sitting by the pool on an evening watching the sunset was truly magical. We had trips out in the car to lourdas which had nice beaches and restaurants and if you like fresh fish katelios is the place to go. We had a fabulous time on this beautiful Island. Thankyou Joan for letting us be part of your amazing holiday home.

Calm and Peaceful and of a High Standard

We have stayed in many many villas, most in Greece and Greek Islands. This one is probably one of the best yet. It was amazingly peaceful (just the cows walking up and down every day !). The views were spectacular and always something to see. The Villa was extremely well-equipped - didn't want for anything. The standard of cleaning was of a high standard. Katelios was a great place for fresh fish restaurants - but Lourdata and in fact everywhere else had lots to offer All in all - wonderful. Thank you.

A most lovely villa in a stunning location

The villa is in a stunning location although off the beaten track which is part of the charm. Spotlessly clean and homely with a lovely pool. Being in an elevated position some 150 - 200m up from Koroni beach it commands panoramic views of the Ioian sea and Zakynthos. Our stay was enhanced with a cloudless sky for our stay and with restaurants in Lourdas and Katelios reasonably close by car we were not left hungry, although lots of other places were just as nice including Kastros at St Georges and the local Sesto's a short distance down from the villa.

About the host

Hosted by Joan Boon

Host profile image
Joan and Robin Boon live in Cornwall in a small coastal village. We first visited Kefalonia in 1994 and although we have visited many other places in Greece and the wider world Kefalonia was always the place we returned to. Over the years we have made many good friends on the island and amongst the many people who visit year after year. It was Joan's dream to have a property in Kefalonia for themselves and their family to use (photo of grandson Harry leaping into the pool above!) and to enable them to have longer visits once retired (fast approaching)!! We never tire of the excitement we feel as our plane comes in to land often actually passing the villa!!

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a property to buy for a couple of years but to no avail. In May 2011 we looked at several properties with our agent and then took details of half a dozen to find and view ourselves. Villa Regina Koroni was the last on our list. We drove down the lane a little way and then decided to continue on foot. As we came upon the villa we both said 'wow'. There was this neat one storey villa, very private with a lovely patio area and pool. The views were to die for, that was it!! Dream come true.
We have holidayed in the Lourdas area many times as we love the various beaches. Although Villa Regina Koroni is in a rural area between Lourdas and Katelios both are within a short drive. We find that the rest of the island is very easy to explore from the villa, we are still finding new places of interest to add to our old favourites..

What makes this property unique

We loved the simple layout of the villa and especially the four patio doors opening directly onto the pool area. Two from the lounge/diner and one from each double bedroom. We knew it would make for easy, relaxing holidays for ourselves and our family and guests. The villa is very peaceful and private. The only noise coming from the birds and the sheep/goat/cow bells when they come up the lane at the side of the villa in the morning and evening. Eagles can often be seen circling between the mountain behind us and the sea. Swallows swoop down to take a drink from the pool early in the season. Light pollution is at a minimum therefore the night sky is beautiful with truly thousands of stars. Perfect!
