There is also the quaint floral Kastro Cafe for breakfast/brunch/lunch/cake and coffee or early evening meal with the same spectacular views. It’s a great place to stop for refreshments after a walk around the castle. The cafe closes 5-6pm. There are many more restaurants within a short drive.

Beautiful Villa
Highly recommend Villa Sorfini which is set in a lovely garden has a beautiful pool and amazing views of the Castle and mountains. The villa was spotlessly clean and had everything required for a peaceful relaxing holiday in the sun. Correspondence with the owners was first class.

Lovely relaxing holiday villa
As a family of four, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here in summer 2023. It was perfect for us, the location fairly secluded with open views to the mountains, sun all day long and the pool large and lovely to relax in.

Wonderful Family Holiday
Wow - what a lovely villa on a beautiful island. Clean, good location and a great pool to use should you want to stay at the villa. Car is a must if you want to venture away from the villa and visit all the beaches around the island as we did. The location was great, only 15 mins from airport and ideally located for numerous beaches and the capital, Argostoli. Jed, the owner was brilliant, sent me loads of ideas about what to do on the island, very responsive and genuinely nice bloke. Villa was cleaned 3 times, pool cleaned twice, everything was just easy and I recommend this villa.

excellent holiday
We have been travelling to Greece for the last 25 years and have stayed in many apartments and villa's, Villa Sorfini is our favourite so far, it is in an ideal location for travelling around the island but is also ideal for a relaxing pool holiday, set in an elevated position the views are outstanding both day and night with the castle being lit up when night falls. There are supermarkets within ten minutes by car and plenty of good restaraunts. The villa is spotlessly clean tastefully decorated and very well equipped, I would highly recommend this villa for a very special holiday.

Amazing Villa in a superb location
We had a great 2 week stay here. The villa had amazing Mountain View’s and was in a great location to explore Kefalonia. The villa was like a home from home, super clean and provided us with all the amenities you’d need for a long stay. We arrived late in the evening and on arrival we were welcomed with tea, coffe, bread, croissants, milk and so much more, it was a great touch and much appreciated. The hosts provided so much information about the surrounding area from shopping, restaurants, beaches, local amenities etc their knowledge about the island was invaluable. Great hosts who responded with any enquiries straight away. I’d definitely recommend this villa to family and friends we loved the peaceful location.

A Lovely Villa
A really lovely villa in a great location (car essential as nothing is easily walkable, especially in the heat). Location feels slightly random when you first arrive, but is actually the perfect spot to reach everything on the island. The pool and gardens are beautiful with the best views ever. You’d never get tired of looking out over those mountains! The interior of the villa is all fine, bed is extremely comfortable and the air con is a Godsend! But we were a little disappointed on arriving late evening that absolutely nothing is there for you - no welcome pack or even a single bottle of drinking water. There are also a few basics missing - torches but no batteries, a notice about using Calgon in the washing machine but no tablets - which felt a little unwelcoming compared to previous rentals. The main shower room is tiny and plumbing def not luxurious (although blocked shower issues in first week were swiftly rectified by the delightful property manager, William, who was really great at communicating throughout). Sheet and towel change was super efficient and much appreciated. We were also unlucky to be plagued by wasps outside, think there must be a nest around the villa? Was a shame as couldn’t eat outside at all and using the BBQ was risky! But all that being said, it’s a wonderful base for a Kefalonian holiday - the island is as stunning as ever. Recommendations from Jed & Tracey were fab - thank you!

Great villa for peaceful family stay
Well appointed villa with fabulous pool in a central location in kefalonia. Nice to stay at home and a good base for exploring most of the island.

A luxurious base tucked away from the main road to the capital. Everything we could need and more.
Villa Sofinia was a beautiful villa for a beautiful island. Jed and Tracy are welcoming and provide a wealth of knowledge about Kefalonia which enhanced our stay on the island. The tranquil setting was idyllic and a relaxing dip in the pool was the perfect end to the day. The local restaurants are amongst the best on the island and the central location of the villa meant that no where on the island was more than an hour and a half by car. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend both the villa and the island to couples and families alike. A truly wonderful holiday.

Lovely villa on peaceful spot, fab views!
This is our fifth visit to the beautiful island of Kefalonia and the best accommodation we have stayed in. A very welcoming villa, very comfortable and the lay out works really well, sooooo much outside space and the views absolutely fantastic. The villa was very well equipped and felt at home right away. All very clean. We know the surrounding area quite well and love it. Found the fort cafe this time and had many lunches up there, Ab Fab!! Coming back to the villa after a day out and about was very relaxing. Sitting out on the patio at 10.30pm in the evening listening to the chickadas and just taking it all in was magical. We will be back!!!!

Simply Amazing
We stayed at Villa Sorfini in Peratara and it was 'simply amazing'. The villa was clean and very comfortable. We received a welcome pack on arrival with all the essentials - this was a lovely touch which meant we didn't have to do that mad dash to the supermarket and we could just kick back and enjoy. The villa is really luxurious and modern with all the mod cons, and the outside space is spacious with seating area for dining and area around the pool for the sun loungers. I can't begin to describe how beautiful and stunning the views are from the villa. Whether you are sitting enjoying your morning coffee or later in the evening with your glass of wine, they are absolutely breathtaking and so tranquil. In the villa is a welcome book with useful tips on where to go for day trips and local restaurants which was extremely helpful as we hadn't visited the island before. The villa is located near St Georges Castle and we enjoyed many lazy afternoons at the Kastro cafe, simply gorgeous food. The villa is located near some exceptional tavernas where you can enjoy authentic greek food at its best. If you are looking for relaxation and complete comfort then this is the villa for you!

Outstanding villa
We have visited this villa two-years running and cannot recommend it highly enough. The location is quiet but within easy driving distance of shops, restaurants and the capital, Argostoli. The views are just spectacular and worth the money alone. The villa is very nicely furnished and appointed with everything you might need and beautifully kept. The owners are very helpful and there is a lot of information in the villa about places to visit. We will definitely go back.
