Villa Galini Description
Beautifully situated amongst pine trees on the hillside above Emblissi beach, Villa Galini offers peace and privacy and a high standard of holiday accommodation in Kefalonia. Perched high above many other holiday villas in the area, the unspoilt views are just fantastic and the pretty harbour of Fiskardo is just less than one mile, whilst the beach is half a mile away. This property is in an amazing setting and provides the ideal destination for truly impressive and memorable villa holidays in the Greek Islands.
A drive leads up to the villa and to a parking area below the villa. A flight of steps then leads up to the middle floor of the villa and a most attractive open plan living/dining room. This is a spacious area with wooden beamed vaulted ceiling and natural stonework. The formal dining area is to one end, whilst the comfortably furnished lounge has fireplace, satellite TV (limited channels), music system and DVD player. For those that like to keep in touch with the outside world, Wi-Fi internet access is available. Two sets of large patio doors open out onto the front pool terrace and boast wonderful views of the sea. The open plan kitchen has been well fitted and has dishwasher and microwave and there is a washing machine for your added convenience.
On this level also two of the five air-conditioned bedrooms are located. This is a double with full bathroom en-suite and a twin bedded room, which has shower room with WC adjacent. Both bedrooms enjoy access to a spacious terrace and those lovely views once again. Stairs then lead to the master bedroom suite, which is situated on the top floor of the villa. This is a very large room with king size double bed, dressing area and a most attractive full bathroom en-suite with bath, separate shower and WC. Patio doors lead off from here onto a front covered terrace, which boasts the most wonderful views down to the sea and the islands beyond. There is a private rear balcony off from this bedroom also.
On the lower ground floor, and with a separate entrance, there is a self-contained guest suite, although of a simpler style, this offers family accommodation of a living room, which has a fully fitted kitchenette with hob and refrigerator and two bedrooms. These are a double and a single (not air-conditioned and with a pull-out bed) and they share a large shower room with walk-in shower and WC.
Four bedrooms are air-conditioned for your added benefit.
Outside the 8 metre infinity pool sits amongst sun terraces to the front of the living accommodation on the middle level of the villa. It has corner steps into the shallow end for children and the whole area ensures that the villa's superb position is maximised to the full. The terrace is well furnished for relaxing and dining outdoors and there is a brick built barbeque on the lower level for your added enjoyment.
Explore the countryside and try some hiking while you have the chance in this gorgeous location, and if you’re feeling more active why not try cycling through the Kefalonia countryside.
A really lovely family villa in an ideal location with the added advantage of a self-contained two bedroomed guest suite.

Villa Gallini is beautiful - a really fantastic spot and with a view that will be hard to forget. The welcome pack was great, right down to the local olives, so a very big thank you.
I would definitely recommend your company to anyone thinking of travelling to Cephalonia and will definitely again when and not if, we return to any of the Greek islands where you offer accommodation.

Villa Galini in Fiskardo is just stunning. The situation of the villa is beautiful, in the hills and so private. Modern throughout and with large rooms, the villa is really spacious and the outside space is fantastic. We will certainly be returning!

Wow, wow, wow, just returned from a fantastic week at Villa Galini, what a stunning villa. Have stayed at many over the years but this topped them all. My husband did not stop commenting on the amazing, jawdropping view for every day that we were there. Perfect location, secluded and private, yet only a 2 minute drive into Fiskado, a beautiful picture postcard fishing village. If you are reading this review then don't hesitate, go ahead and book, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you as well to all at Villa Select and in particular Mark who was incredibly helpful throughout the whole booking experience.

Just returned from 2 wonderful weeks at Villa Galini. A lovely villa with stunning views, simply breathtaking. A super holiday after the long journey up from the airport !!! Our holiday rep Deborah was so polite and a mine of useful information about the area and the island - best rep. we have ever had.
Would definitely visit the area again in the near future.
