“fantastic”

We stayed in a two bedroom apatment in August. The apartments are spacious, very clean and towels and sheets changed on a regular basis.Kitchen fairly basic, but everything you need. Pool lovely and clean and very quiet, had it to ourselves sometimes.There is a bbq on site that you can use, but food so cheap didn't seem worth the hassle. But the best thing about these apartments is the view. The two bedroomed apartments are on the first floor with a large terrace overlooking Lourdas beach and Zante beyond. They have electric awnings for when it is too hot. Spent many times just sat on the terrace admiring the views and watching the boats with a glass of wine. The local restauarants are all good, and value for money, with the local wine being very good and very cheap. There is a big supermarket about 15-20 mins by car, but Petros the local mini market had everthing we needed and not overly expensive. The apartments are very quiet and relaxing, don't go here if you are looking for some entertainment. However whilst we were there there were a few very well organised beach parties,that went on to the early hours. But for the most part a quiet resort. I would say that the beach is not really walking distance. There is a dirt track leading from the villas to the beach. Very steep! We tried it once during the day, it nearly killed us, and once at night, after the beach party. Whilst cooler its very dark, so again not great. Definately need a car if you want to go anywhere. We also hired a motor boat for a day from the local beach. About 80 euro, but money well spent. Had the boat all day, saw some turtles and found some deserted beaches. Fantastic. All in all would definately recommend to families who want a quiet holiday and couples looking for relaxation, but if you want anything resembling package holiday entertainment then this isnt for you.

Room Tip: If you can go for the two bedroomed apartments. The views are amazing!

“Truly relaxing 5* place”

We have just returned from a weeks break at Garbis in Sept, hottest for years according to the locals. Really lovely island and the Garbis villas were excellent. The gardens are well tended and looked after by Irine who is a lovely person and makes you feel very welcome - but also does not intrude. Suggest you hire a car and explore the fabulous beaches around the island (although some only accessible by boat which you can hire). Restaurants in Lourdas are mixed but all over good value for money. The closest are 'The Olive Lounge' which was the top of our list followed closely by 'Le Mer' both good service and excellent food. The 'Klematis' on Lourdas beach also great food. Muses cafe is great for either an apperitif or and after dinner cocktail. - We would definitely recommend it !!!

“Lovely Villas”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

person found this review helpful

All is as has been said in the previous review! Except we got homemade cake on our departure as well
This was our 4th time in Lourdas but our 1st time at Garbis Villas
We also had a one bed apartment but would probably just have a studio next time
Lourdas is as it has always been. Quiet and unspoilt.
Garbis Villas is definitely the nicest accommodation we have had in Lourdas and definitely worth paying a little more for.
Room was regularly cleaned with new sheets and towels often.
Will definitely return!

Room Tip: 2 bed apartments are the only ones with a balcony Studios and one bed are on the ground floor with...

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment at the end of August/beginning of September. On arrival we were greeted by the lovely Irene, who gave us fresh juice and showed us to our room. The apartment was well equipped and very clean, though the bed could have been a little more comfortable, but nothing to worry about after a night drinking plenty of local wine! The pool was lovely with amazing views out to Zante and even though it was shared by all the villas it was relatively quiet most of the time. The best part of staying here though was the friendliness of the family who run it, Irene invited us for coffee before we left which ended up being breakfast, it was lovely. Its in a good location in Lourdas, being a short walk to some lovely restaurants, namely Olive Lounge and Casa de Blue. There is also a path from the villas down to the beach - it does take a little longer than the 5 mins stated on the sign post and the road is steep, so only attempt if you are a good fitness. Overall we loved our 9 days there, if we went back I would try book a 2 bed apartment, just because they are on the top floor, so you have a slightly better view.

Room Tip: Try book the 2 bed apartments - better from a noise point of view because you are on the top floor a...

“"Just lovely!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

So glad I chose this place for the first week of our holiday in Kefallonia.
The villas were modern, clean and spacious and just 2 steps from the edge of the pool.
Great views over to Zante from the terraces/balconies where you could sunbathe, have a meal "al fresco" or just sit and do nothing but admire the view and tranquillity of the place.
Lots of really good restaurants within 15 minutes walk.
Perfect distance for the digestion!
The nearest beach was a very steep walk back uphill which even my 15 year-old son said was tiring but as we had our car with us, we normally visited beaches further afield so not a problem.
