Villa Pesada

We had a lovely, relaxing holiday at the end of August in Villa Kallisto.

The villa itself is in great condition, it is full of modern fixtures and fittings with lots of furniture available. The location is beautiful and is not full of other tourists, it is a quaint little village which is exactly what we wanted. The views from the upstairs balcony are to die for, Mount Ainos on one side and views over the Zakynthos on the other!

Prior to arrival Mike and Eileen were both excellent to deal with and were quick to respond to any queries we had, which there were a few! They also gave us some recommendations on restaurants (The Olive Lounge is stunning) and advised we should hire a car, which we did and would also recommend others to do.

The little sandy cove at the bottom of the hill at Pessada was beautiful with crystal clear water and some great snorkelling round by the marina.

The pool was a good size and well maintained, we had trouble getting the kids out of it! It was cleaned midweek during our stay too which was nice. We enjoyed using the BBQ area to eat on a couple of nights too.

I could go on and on about what a lovely time we had but all in all if you are looking to book this villa, just do it, you won't regret it.

Thanks Mike and Eileen for having us!

The property was perfect for our large group that included both adults and children. The house was comfortable, in a great location and the hosts great to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Lovely Villa which accommodated 4 couples easily. The 2 separate apartments were well equipped with everything you need. The linen was changed during the week , but one bedroom was missed with replacement bath towels and mat. We visited the Sunrise Taverna which is a 15 min walk down to where the daily ferry crosses to Zante . It’s a basic menu, but cooked fresh and very friendly staff. We also ate at the Olive Grove which was delicious. This taverna was near to the castle, about a 10 min drive. We had 2 cars to explore the island, and visited Asos (highly recommended) such a pretty village and then we went onto Fiskardo and ate by the sea front . There are a couple of supermarkets nearby for your provisions and Agristoli is a must for a visit to see the turtles feeding from the fisherman early morning, which is also where we brought some fish for our BBQ. Would definitely return .

Ideal property for two friendly families, with two self-contained apartments. Standard of accommodation is very high, with a gorgeous pool and plenty of shade for eating outside.
