  • Thinking of you.

    I hope all is well after Storm Ianos. You may not remember us Irene, but my wife and I stayed there in your summer of 2019.

    Both of us are thinking of you and all on Kefalonia during this difficult time.

  • Wedding stay

    Very clean. Irene is an excellent host and Alexandra is a marvel at how hard she works works to ensure accommodation and pool area is maintained to high standards. Stayed for 4 nights from 6th June. We had several apartments. Garbis jewellers also worth a visit, Thank you too Angela for arranging our transfers from the airport.

  • Lovely holiday

    Once again we have had a fantastic holiday at Garbis Villas. We are regular visitors and we have never been disappointed. Irene is a fantastic host and Alexandra works so hard to keep all the villas cleaned on a daily basis.
    All the Garbis family strive to make everyone’s holiday, one to remember.
    We will be returning!!

  • Wonderful time

    We had an absolute ball in Kefalonia, and the accommodation played a large part of that. It was so peaceful and quiet, a great place to relax and soak in the fresh sea air! The pool was always in good condition, our rooms cleaned really well each day by Alexandra, and our welcome and farewell morning teas with Irene were a delight we’ll always remember!

    What a beautiful island and what a lovely location to stay at. Thank you Irene for your very generous hospitality. It was one of the factors which made our holiday so memorable. We will certainly return.

  • Un alloggio eccellente

    Il complesso Garbis Villas è un posto splendido. Abbiamo occupato uno studio per 2 persone a piano terra: accogliente, ben arredato, con una splendida vista sulla piscina comune alle 4 palazzine e soprattutto sul mare! La piscina stessa è confortevole e ben pulita, peccato solo che si possa utilizzare solo fino alle 8 di sera e non oltre. Dotato di aria condizionata, offre anche la possibilità di pranzare o cenare sotto il portico. L’angolo cottura è forse un po’ troppo piccolo ma per 2 persone può andare. Inoltre dista pochi passi da La Mer e soprattutto dall’ Olive Lounge che sono tra i migliori ristoranti dell’isola. La proprietaria del complesso è la signora Irene: una donna simpatica, brillante e molto accogliente. Una nota di merito in più per questo angolo di sogno in Cefalonia.

    We have been going to Lourdas for seven years we love it. In September this year we decided to stay somewhere different we stayed at Garbis. it was amazing so relaxing, it was very clean and comfortable Irene you are a very kind and attentive lady. We will return to stay with you sadly not next year as my brother is getting married abroad (we will return). We send our best wishes to you your family and staff.

  • Vacanza fantastica

    siamo stati da garbis villas dal 15 al 29 agosto 2011 in uno studios per due persone al piano terra (bordo piscina,non più di tre metri) di una delle strutture che compongono la splendida villa della signora irene. tralasciando gli aspetti relativi all’ isola di cefalonia comunque fantastica con un mare magnifico da lasciarti senza fiato,dedichiamoci alla villa che offre un panorama stupendo della deliziosa spiaggia di lithero e lourdas, a nostro giudizio la posizione della villa e’ strategica ,a pochi chilometri dalla capitale e dalle fantastiche spiagge del sud dell’ isola .l’ accoglienza è stata sicuramente delle migliori con frigo pieno di frutta , bevande e dolci .lo studios luminosissimo e sempre pulito grazie allo staff di garbis villas ci ha permesso di trascorrere una vacanza fantastica .
    andare via da cefalonia ci ha lasciato un vuoto nel cuore che certamente colmeremo tornando su questa bellissima isola e da garbis villas.

  • Kefalonia Nice

    Garbis Villas is a family run residence – 4 beautifully constructed ‘houses’ overlooking the turquoise Aeonian sea – which are split into studio/1 bed/2 bed apartments.The views are exceptional and are complimented by wonderful service and facilities at the villas. The Island has some of the finest beaches and certainly variety of beach that one would find anywhere in Europe.
    The Villas have a good sized pool and well equipped terrace as well as individual apartment balconies which offer privacy with plenty of space. There is a virtual tour on the Villas’ website which is worth seeing – this gives an excellent and accurate overview of the residence.

  • Beautiful one day, perfect the next

    We spent the best part of our 8 week holiday in Lourdata,staying at Garbis Villas for a week in July 2010. The accommodation was clean and had all the conveniences you’d expect and little more. The fridge was stocked with basics to start off your holiday – milk, fruit,bread, cold water, juice, even some fresh vegetables. The pool and surrounding garden were immaculate. What you see in the pictures on this site is what you get. The pool is cleaned daily. The view from our balcony was absolutely gorgeous. As previous posts, I too have to mention the hospitality shown by Irene. She would go out of her way to ensure her guest were comfortable. We stayed at a number of other accommodations, but Garbis stands out above all the rest. I don’t know when we’ll visit my beautiful Kefalonia, but I know where we’ll be staying.

  • Thank you for your hospitality

    We would like to thank you for your hospitality Irene during our stay at Garbis Villas.It was very kind of your family to invite us to George’s 2nd birthday party which we enjoyed very much.
    Now back in England we are telling all our friends and family what a beautiful island Kefalonia is and will be recommending your villas if anyone wishes to go for a holiday.
    I am sure we will be visiting Kefalonia again sometime in the future and will hopefully be able to stay at Garbis Villas.
    Thank you once again for making our holiday such an enjoyable one.

  • Absolutely Fantastic Views and accomodations

    This is our second vacation at the Garbis Villas,first time 3 years ago and then this year for 2 weeks last week in August and first week in September 2008. We have aquired a great friendship with the owner Irene Garbis and her three sons. It’s absolutely paradise and we would recommend it highly. You are surrounded by beautiful ocean views and mountains. Easy walk to lots of GREAT restaurants. The staff at the Garbis Villas are wonderful people, and always ready to assist you. The villas are equipped very well with all the amentities, and we enjoyed many an evening out on the huge balcony overlooking the pool and sea, sipping on a glass of wine.

    Thank you Garbis Family for such a wonderful stay. We will be back!

  • Still the same 11 years on!

    We stayed at Garbis Villas 11 years ago, and have fond memories and had always said that we would return. This year we did just that, this time travelling with my sister and brother in law. That amazing view has not changed, and the gracious hospitality of Irene is second to none. Thanks also to Andrew, who came by every day and spoke to us, and of course, to Alexandra, who helps keep the villas and pool in tip top condition.

    I general we were amazed and delighted to see that Kefalonia had really not changed in those 11 years,it is a beautiful and unspoilt Island to which I am sure we will be returning.

    Thank you!

  • The Garbis Villas are fabulous!

    My boyfriend and I spent a week there last August and found it the ideal spot for a relaxing, chill out week.

    The Garbis family take great pride in their villas and were extremely accomodating in providing complimentary wine, water, tea, coffee etc on our arrival and helping us to get around the island and provide useful information on the sites, buses etc.

    The one-bedroom villa was spotless, the pool, patios and surrounding areas are cleaned every day.

    In the evening we were able to sit out and watch beautiful sunsets over neighbouring Zakynthos and relax with a drink, undisturbed by any noise other than that of the waves.

    A lovely place to stay, run by a lovely family.

    This was not our first visit to Kefalonia but our first visit to the villa.
    We have been captivated by its position and the tranquility – just shy, the birds singing and the breeze for company. We’ve been fortunate also in having such lovely fellow guests, Nigel and family.
    We’re already thinking of how we can arrange to come next year.

  • We loved it !

    From the moment we stepped off the plane we fell in love with Kefalonia and when we arrived at Garbis Villas we loved it even more.
    The studio was perfect, just what we needed and the view from the pool side was out of this world. In fact the setting was so good that one rather hot evening, next the the pool watching the sunset I proposed to my girl friend.
    Of course I promotley brought a ring from your shop in Argostoli (Garbis Jewellers) to make it official.
    Everyone was so great and made the whole event and holiday very special. Thank you

  • Holiday Experience

    The Garbis family must be congratulated on providing such a beautiful holiday experience not only in the quality of the accommodation provided but also the very genuine family atmosphere that Mrs.Irene Garbis, Alexandra, Nick, Andrew and Peter extended to us.
    We really did enjoy our two weeks at Garbis Villas in May 2007 and we were very sorry when it was our time to leave. But we have booked to return in 2008 and can’t wait.
