The whole place was lovely. The experience was made more special by Jackie, the housekeeper, whose knowledge, friendly nature made each day interesting and relaxing. The house is beautiful and the pool sets it off. The house and grounds are kept immaculate and there is plenty of room so you can have time on your own if you need.

The villa was the perfect setting for our wedding. Jackie and everyone was lovely and helpful.

Absolutely fabulous! Great location with lovely facilities especially the pool and areas around the pool. The stunning scenery made it even more special. Huge house with everything you could need for a stay with family and friends. This will hopefully not be our last visit. Superb wedding venue. The location made a special day even better.

We spent another lovely 8 days at Hidden Gem. Jackie is a real gem, so hard working, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The welcome pack was really appreciated, as were the bathroom facilities in Rose apartment. It was a real treat picking the oranges, lemons and apricots. The villa is maintained to a very high standard. A great time had by all. Thank you

P.S. Thank you for the birthday card and beautiful flowers.

Superb holiday in a beautiful villa in a beautiful island. Thank you to Jackie for being such a wonderful housekeeper.

Absolutely brilliant in every way. Amazing facilities. Jackie was amazing - so hardworking, personable and helpful. Could not fault Hidden Gem’s super communication throughout from booking, answering questions, hosting etc.

A memorable stay in this beautiful villa. We will return one day!

Hidden Gem Estate in Kefalonia surpassed all our expectations! The estate itself is a paradise. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, ensuring our comfort with daily maid service. The estate's gardens, filled with olive and orange trees, provided fresh oranges for morning juice with a view that is simply unbeatable. A perfect blend of luxury, natural beauty, and hospitality—we can't wait to return!

An amazing weeks stay at the stunning Hidden Gem Estate for our special wedding week and day. The villa is finished to the highest of standards, has all the amenities you can think of, included a cleaner for the week, and had the most breathtaking views which were perfect for our special day. We were their first wedding, and Debbie and Mike liaised with our wedding planner to make sure everything was in place and perfect for the big day. We held both the ceremony and reception at the villa and even had all of our wedding pics taken on site either on the lawn under the flower arch or in the surrounding vineyards. Highly recommend staying here if you're a big group (we had 12 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space) and holding your wedding here or any other special event...our guests were as blown away as we were when we first visited the villa last year and fell in love.

Staying at the Hidden Gem Estate vacation house was the best experience ever. This house offers all the amenities you will ever hope for. The exterior area with the pool and gazebo is key!! This estate is affordable to rent and they don't charge you per person but per night! The hosts were amazing as well. I recommend this rental if you are travelling to Greece in Kefalonia.

Very green and shady villa - really hidden gem under all this sun and heat. The view from villa to the sea and Lourdas beach is simply amazing. Could sit there by the pool all day and just enjoy.

Beautiful location, Beautiful house and a wonderful house keeper. 13 of us travelled to celebrate a 80th birthday. We had a private chef recommended by the house who was also wonderful. Lots to do and I am sure we will return.

We had a wonderful seven days at Hidden Gem Estate for a family and friends reunion. The house and apartments were comfortable and spacious with many areas to sit and admire the views of sea and mountains. We never tired of watching the changing light on the mountains. Outdoors Hidden Gem’s pool was an excellent place to while away relaxation time and we enjoyed eating most of out meals in the pool house. The pool house has a very well equipped kitchen and a large tv screen for those watching sports. We loved the short walk down the hill to Spartia Beach for our morning swims in the sea. Hidden Gem is more or less in the centre of the island and very convenient both to the airport and for exploring the island. We especially enjoyed going into Argostoli to see the turtles swimming from the wharf and also took a full day boat trip from there. I could not recommend Hidden Gem Estate more highly
