The villa is split into two self contained levels. This really suited our family of ten as our son and his family were semi independent of the first floor. Our daughter with her partner and baby son were on the ground floor with us. This meant that any early risers didn't disturb others. It is extremely well located being 10 minutes from Spartia beach and close to Argostoli, supermarkets and a very good local taverna.
Sparia beach was a real find as it is not dominated by loungers and brollies. It is great sandy beach for children with rocks at the side for snorkelling. It is much used by locals.
The villa has everything we needed with Joy on hand to help us with anything we needed to know.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Villa Diana and hope to welcome you again in the future

Super comfy beds, excellent facilities, friendly helpful staff. Villa in excellent central position on Island to explore the stunning beaches and other attractions of Kefalonia. Plenty of info in Villa of places to visit. Will be back to this paradise!

My family and I stayed here recently. We occupied both villas and they easily convert into one property, we did not feel too separate and there was plenty of space.
Joy who looks after the property met us at the airport and led us to the villa. She's really friendly, helpful and very informative about the island. She made restaurant bookings for us and gave us lots of recommendations. The welcome pack she left us on arrival was bigger than expected and well received after a long journey!
Upon arrival we were very impressed. The villa is beautiful, with a huge outdoor space. It has an impressive pool and patio with lots of chairs, loungers and BBQ. Beach towels are provided. The outdoor fridge is a great idea, although it goes off with the electricity when you take the key out so that could be improved.
Inside the villa is not the height of luxury but is very pleasant. It is nicely furnished and there is a fully equipped kitchen. We could have done with more large bowls and chopping boards etc, so at times cooking for a large group was a bit of a juggling act! It also needs a bigger bin to make it more practical. Sounds silly but with no recycling facilities it was full within minutes! The bedrooms are nice with comfy beds and the shutters are great to keep the light out. There is aircon. The bathrooms are basic but do the job.
You need a car if staying at the villa, it's quite a remote location. There is a tiny shop in walking distance and one local taverna (The Olive Grove), which was very good so we went twice! There are several local supermarkets (7 minutes drive) and access to main highways and local towns.
Overall I would recommend for a lovely holiday in a large group with access to nice places around the island and a great outdoor space.

As we aim to cater for large family groups we have chosen to equip Villa Diana with solid functional furnishings which are child friendly, I know from experience there is nothing worse than constantly worrying the little darlings will break something fragile. I understand your comments re bowls, chopping boards and bins and will address this issue immediately, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I always advise guests that I consider a car essential . You are quite right in that the nearest village of Keramies does have a small shop and a good Taverna, which is frequented by both people visiting Kefalonia and those who live on the Island (always a good sign!) However the village of Spartia whilst being a little further away, is also within walking distance, it has ia larger grocery shop, an Internet Cafe ( although Wi Fi at Villa Diana is excellent) a lovely little taverna and a gyro takeaway.
Thank you again for your helpful comments and I hope we see you again in the future. X

On arrival Villa Diana takes your breath away, its very majestic in its appearance.
Our time in this villa was just wonderful. We were very lucky to have arranged with Sharon Williams to allow us to host our Wedding here & delighted we did so. The Villa is very spaceous & has everything you need, including a thoughtful welcome pack, bread, milk, wine, beer etc on arrival.
Our wedding day was amazing, having had our ceremony on the Balcony, seating 20 guests, ceremony table, bride, groom, celebrant, photographer etc all set with the outstanding views of the surrounding mountains. The wedding pictures tell a wonderful story & show an altogether happy couple as well as happy guests attending our wedding.
Villa Diana is a great venue to host a Private Villa Wedding.
I cannot recommend Villa Diana enough for a great family vacation or for a truly perfect memorable wedding venue.
Thanks to Lynne & Clive for their warm welcome who also went above & beyond & did their very best to make our stay as comfortable as possible & to Scout the lovely labrador dog who visited us everyday!
Just Brilliant!!
