We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Darymine. The villa is luxurious, spacious, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The pool and outdoor area were top-notch and truly made our holiday special. Daphne and Michael, the owners, were incredibly helpful both before and during our stay, which we greatly appreciated. We would definitely return again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Darymine and indeed in Kefalonia. The owners Michael and Daphne were extremely helpful both before we arrived and during our holiday, recommending and booking car hire, a private boat trip and restaurants all of which we really enjoyed. The villa itself was beautiful, clean and welcoming and with a great outside space and pool and fabulous views over the sea. We do recommend hiring a car as there is only one restaurant albeit a fantastic one on the beach within walking distance and that is a steep walk back up to the villa. But Skala and Katelios which have restaurants and bars and supermarkets are only a 5-10 minute drive away and parking in the evening is easy and free. We also explored the island and found some great deserted beaches nearby both sandy and stoney where we could chill and snorkel in the beautiful clear water in the late afternoon when it had cooled down. We all had a fantastic holiday and would definitely return to explore some more.

This is the second time we have stayed at Darymine, the last time being 5 years ago. The villa was still as spotless and well maintained as it was the last time, Michael and Daphne do a fantastic job! We loved it even more than before, and the children are already asking when we can return! The communication was spot on, and Michael and Daphne also helped us with boat hire, car hire and some restaurant bookings which was super useful.

5 Star Perfect stay This was the best villa we have ever stayed in. 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. 7/5/2024 at 8:52 AM You responded on 7/6/2024 at 10:44 PM Thank you for your lovely review Joanne, it was a pleasure to host you and your family , so pleased you all enjoyed your holiday and relaxed.

5 Star Villa Darymine bliss We had high expectations of the villa because it looked so fabulous on the Vrbo website when we booked. It did not disappoint. The accommodation size, configuration, presentation, facilities and cleanliness were just all round great; not to mention the fabulous expansive grounds and beautiful views and the lovely well maintained swimming pool. The hosts were super helpful both before and during our stay. We would thoroughly recommend this villa. 7/2/2023 at 4:44 PM You responded on 8/5/2023 at 5:35 PM Thank you for your wonderful review Nigel, it was a pleasure to host you and your family for Pam’s special birthday, so pleased you all enjoyed your holiday and hopefully you all made some lovely memories .

5 Star Family celebrations We enjoyed our stay at Villa Darymine very much. 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 7/12/2022 at 4:31 PM You responded on 6/25/2023 at 1:23 PM Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are pleased you and your family enjoyed your holiday and hope you have made some wonderful memories, especially the beautiful boat trip to Fiskardo we organised along with a discount. We tried our hardest to accommodate all your needs to the best of our ability, with regards to the walk into the town of Skala we have never had it called a ‘trek’ as on the way it is on a downward incline on a main road, unlike surrounding villas in Skala where you need to walk on unstable grounds. We would like to thank you so much for leaving the villa so clean and tidy we really appreciate this, hope to see you all again one day, best wishes Michael and Daphne

5 Star Fabulous villa We travelled as 2 families with 4 young children under 4. 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! 6/20/2022 at 3:24 PM You responded on 6/21/2022 at 3:43 AM Thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to meet you all. We are so pleased you had such a fantastic holiday in our villa and made some wonderful memories together. Thank you for leaving the villa so clean and tidy and hopefully see you all again soon.
