Family from Alnwick, United Kingdom · August 2025
We have just come back from our family holiday and it has to be said that Villa Darymine was amazing, perfect for our family.. Daphne and Michael had went above and beyond, recommended and booked a lovely restaurant, arranged our transfer which is very helpful and took away the stress. Michael is on hand immediately if we had any issues. Villa Darymine is immaculately clean with a gorgeous outdoor space. It has everything you need from a beautiful pool, spectacular views, comfortable outdoor seating and table for eating alfresco and lovely gardens! The villa is perfectly located to the beach and a short drive to bars and restaurants. Nothing was any bother, what I found very reasurring was the contact between Daphne and I, felt like we'd known each other for years! So thank you for that. Even on our way to the airport to return home Daphne messaged me to wish us a safe journey home. Hopefully in the future we will be returning. read less - 8/31/2025

Stunning Villa
From the moment we booked until departed Daphne and Michael were fantastic. They gave us so many local tips, booked restaurants and even arranged a baby car seat for us. They were the perfect hosts. Villa - It is beautiful. Set in so much ground, so modern, 4 x big bedrooms and decorated to a very high standard. It has wonderful views of both the sea and mountains. Do book this....I guarantee you will not be disappointed. We got taxis into Skala each night as a bit too far to walk and on a main road but was so easy to arrange.....Again Daphne/Michael provided local taxi people, so friendly and efficient, all sorted via WhatsApp. Skala is a lovely authentic place to spend each evening with some really lovely restaurants and bars. The local beach is a 15 min walk away, the water crystal clear.A big thanks to Daphne and Michael for making it such a wonderful week......no need to wait, just book it ! read less - 7/01/2025

The views are incredible, and it's in such a peaceful location but just a 20 minute walk or short taxi ride from the town. Everything is finished to a high quality and Michael & Daphne were incredibly helpful with information and organising trips and transfers. A fantastic holiday and I'm sure we'll be back. read less - 7/05/2024

Throughout the villa & its grounds was absolutely gorgeous a credit to the owners-Michael & Daphne. The villa itself is spacious, well decorated & clearly accommodation of standard. We had incredible,uninterrupted views out to sea & across to Zante. Location of property about 20mins walk to Skala-a but of a trek but we knew that-Mounda beach a little closer & easier walk down-uphill all way back.
Daphne was great help in organising shopping/transfers/boat trip/ restaurants & taxis when we were unable to do so ourselves. Thank you to Michael for coming to our rescue on the last day when we were let down by taxi. On our 1st day coffee machine didn’t work & hey presto following day a new machine arrives! Plenty of space to eat/sit outside tho with shutters down didn’t provide us with the much needed breeze!
Didn’t make use of balconies,again too hot without some shade-pity as views were stunning.
Pool enjoyed by everyone especially the grandchildren. Thank you both read less - 7/12/2022

The villa was fabulous and so well set up with everything we could have needed. The outdoor area in particular is great with lots of different seating available and the pool area is lovely (with a fantastic view!). Daphne and Michael were on hand to answer any questions we had.
We ventures into Skala for lunch and tried a couple of the local beaches (Kaminia beach was nice and sandy and great for small children). I'd also recommend Katelios for lunch - lots of great restaurants offering fresh fish.
Overall we couldn't fault it and have some amazing memories! read less - 6/20/2022

The villa was extremely well presented , very modern and clean, it has a wow factor when you walk in.
It has everything you need for a fun relaxing holiday. The pool is lovely and there is plenty of space and loungers. There is also a nice outdoor bbq and a lovely covered eating area.
We couldn’t have asked for a nicer villa and our hosts Michael and Daphne went out of their way to help us and organise birthday cakes, restaurants and trips for us.
We will definitely be visiting again. read less - 9/29/2019

The villa was beautiful, spacious, spotlessly clean with a lovely pool and outside space. The owners couldn’t be more helpful, and went out of their way to ensure our stay went without a hitch - from arranging airport travel, a tour around the island, suggesting restaurants and even driving part of our group to and from the airport. We didn’t have car hire, but it really didn’t matter. I would thoroughly recommend this wonderful villa at the most beautiful location. Thanks for everthing | Liked: Cleanliness read less

The House itself is outstanding, and was absolutely perfect for a family holiday on the beautiful island of Kefalonia. The Pool and the outside area is perfectly done and the views onto the beach the sea and the mountains are incredible. Skala is a nice town with a number of nice restaurants. We really enjoyed the Taverna on the local Beach and driving to Katelios which is a pretty village just up the coast from the Villa. Michael and Daphne could not be more helpful and certainly added to the enjoyment of our stay. Thanks and I’m sure one day we will be back. The Hayhow Family | Liked: Cleanliness read less
