We have just spent the best 3 weeks in Kefalonia. John and his wife are the perfect hosts. They are friendly and so attentive and the food that is cooked using produce from their garden is 1st class. Highly recommended
Everything was ecactly as described. The house is close to the airport (8 minutes by car) but you are not disturbed by the airplanes. Nice restaurants and a little supermarket are nearby. The pool is great and clean. Jannis and Mado are the best hosts you can wish for. They were super friendly und the comunication was easy and fast.
This was definately by far the best villa experience we have had! It was everything it says and more to us!
John and Mado are just the lovliest people! And are there if you need anything! The villa is in a lovely location, and is totally what they say 'home from home' with lovely touches like providing the essentials you need from the minute you arrive! It makes such a difference! And to have the option of a traditional home cooked meal by mado is a brilliant idea and her food is amazing!
Kefalonia is such a gorgeous island with lots to do but in a chilled low key way, we could have easily stayed another couple of weeks!!
Loved it! đ
Everything about the villa was Excellent, spotlessly clean when we arrived, Mado and John where the perfect hosts, everything you needed was in the villa, from a home cooked meal on arrival and a vast menu to have your meals delivered to the villa by Mado, all traditional Greek food, great pool with great views. Would highly recommend as we have booked to go again.
Fabulous Villa Mandola with even more Fabulous hosts John and Mado who made us feel very welcome and were very kind and helpful. This was our first time at this villa, but it certainly wont be the last đ
Amazing villa, the best!! John and Mado are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Mado cooks great food. John picked us up from the airport and was always on hand to ask questions of - they live in the next house. We would totally recommend staying here. It is in a quiet spot but very accessible to whatever you want to do on Kefalonia.
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villa in Lakithra. It is very well located near Argostoli. The views from the villa are amazing. The hosts John and Mado were extremely nice and helpful. They greeted us like family. We arrived by ferry at Pessada port and John came to meet us and showed us how to get to the house. We arrived around lunch time and they had prepared a complete lunch for us. It couldnât have been better! Thank you again John and Mado for making this stay so pleasant. We would go back to this villa without any hesitations!
A beautiful villa with amazing views, spotless, with everything you would need for relaxing holiday. John and Mado are the most welcoming and friendly hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them to make your stay the best it could be. The option of having home cooked Greek food cooked by Mado was a great idea and made a nice change. Would highly recommend this villa for a great holiday
What a fantastic place to stay couldnât fault it beautiful villa fantastic location, great host , we will return

Absolutely fabulous. Beautiful villa, incredible views and amazing hospitality!
This is our fourth visit to Kefalonia and we can honestly say this is by far our best villa experience. The villa is immaculate and very thoughtfully equipped. Views from the villa are spectacular and the kindness and hospitality of the hosts were incredible.The welcome meal was a lovely surprise and gratefully received together with the well stocked fridge. Madoâs cuisine was excellent and her motherâs Mousaka was a lovely surprise. Nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for making our holiday so enjoyable.
My name is John Tapsas. I was born and raised in Australia from Greek parents. I came back to Kefalonia on 2000 and got involved with the tourism. I met my wife and we now have a daughter. My wife is also involved with the tourism industry. I love nature and I think Kefalonia is a beautiful island combining sea and mountain views.
On 2009 we built our villa and we are feeling very proud. It is a private villa with pool and is located in the beautiful village of Lakithra. Close to most of the beaches and 5 minutes away from the capital, Argostoli. Based on a peaceful location with breathtaking views. Perfect for relaxation. Our village has a taverna, pizza place, souvlaki place, bar, bakery, pastry shop, mini market, so you don't miss anything. All these are in a walking distance from the villa. The village is well known for Byrons Rock, with an exclusive view at the airport, the sea and Zante.
Our customers really enjoy their stay at the villa,as they enjoy our hospitality. They spent too many hours by the pool,enjoying the amazing views of Argostoli Bay and Mountain Ainos. Relaxation and peacefulness are the 2 words that describe our property.
