Villa Moschona

We did not have the experience we expected, the phone number was different from the website, old furniture, bed and mattress. You can chose better place for the same amount of money. Hotel.booking was calling the owner and they never got an answer back. We stayed only 2 nights from 9 nights that we had booked initially. Definitely would not go back.

I love this Island but it can be quite...difficult! I know the Greek Islands very well but the locals here are known to be sometimes difficult. It took me 2 cabs and about 2 hours to find this place- about 10 minutes from the airport! But on arrival, the lady was so so lovely and helpful. Even made me toast and a coffee (she could see how exhausted, hot and stressed I was!) I had a huge apartment with separate living and kitchen area. The bathroom even had a washing machine. Kitchen had everything you could need. Really can't fault the place. Was on business so only stayed a few days but managed a few hours at the lovely pool across the road with an amazing view. Fully recommend this place to anyone- just be warned about the taxi drivers! 2nd time I went I hired a car which is great for sightseeing such an amazing Island

We visited the Villa Moschona during August 2015. From the airport to the Villa was only 8 minutes drive and cost €15 in a taxi. (Many car hire companies at the airport, but we like to hire a motorbike to explore the island). Upon arrival at the Villa, we were greeted by Sofia and her son Anastasios, the owners. They were very welcoming and showed us around our apartment. We had the ground-floor studio apartment, which I think is the cheapest and smallest room in the Villa but nonetheless, it was perfect for my friend and I. It had a kitchen with: a double sink, oven, electric hob, fridge freezer, dining table and lots of cooking utensils. It had a bathroom with: a shower, toilet, sink, towel heater and mirror. The bedroom had two single beds, which could be pushed together to make a double if required, two bedside tables, lamps, wardrobes and a TV. The air-conditioning was excellent and they give you a remote control to set it at the temperature you prefer. (It did not cost any extra either, as it does in some places around Kefalonia). There were two patio doors which led out onto a small patio area with table and chairs and a breath-taking view of the mountains. There was also free Wifi available throughout the apartment, although it was rather slow (as it is in many places on the island). Pretty much every cafe/coffee shop/restaurant has free wifi - just ask for the password. The room was cleaned every day, including beds made and bins emptied. There is an area to park your car/bike for free. When staying at this Villa, you are entitled to use the pool in the Muikis Village which is literally opposite. The pool is amazing; it has free sun loungers and a bar area which serves drinks and food. It also has free Wifi and electric sockets around the poolside. The view from the pool side is also amazing, looking out over the airport runway and the sea. There were two evenings where the pool closed early due to private wedding functions, but there are plenty of other things to do. As I mentioned, we wanted to hire a motorbike, so Anastasios gave us a lift into Lassi to hire a bike and refused to accept any payment. Although it's very close to the airport, you don't notice any planes as they all fly in from over the sea and land at the airport on the very edge of the Island. Lakithra is a great place to stay, but I would say you definitely need to hire a car or motorbike to explore the island. They also have a card machine to accept payments. At the end of the week, Sofia gave us a free lift back to the airport. I would definitely stay here again. The apartment was perfect with all the facilities we needed and Sofia and Anastasios were so helpful and friendly.
