Villa Del Cielo Overview
Brand newly completed in August 2017, Villa Del Cielo and its’ neighbour, Villa Della Luna have been the dream of their owner for a few years and the finished result will not disappoint! Just outside the centre of Lourdas village, where there is easy access on foot to a good choice of restaurants and shops, including a supermarket. Del Cielo is set at the end of a small access lane with nothing between the villa and the sea except a beautiful, peaceful green and wooded hillside. This villa has the perfect combination of peaceful, restful setting but proximity to facilities. All areas of the house and terraces offer open sea views, framed by the unspoilt wooded slope. The glorious beach at Lourdas is a very short car ride away or can be reached on foot via a footpath about 15 minutes walk, although it is a steep climb on the way home. Del Cielo is smart and contemporary, decorated and furnished in neutral tones and we are sure will prove the ideal base for a truly relaxing break.The length and design of the pool makes it perfect for those you enjoy a swim and can clock a few lengths.

Resort Description
A medium sized quiet family resort on the south coast between Argostoli and Skala, the Bay of Lourdas boasts a long glorious sandy beach, along with some some pebbly sections and a calming crystal clear blue sea.
Mount Aenos towers behind and our villas are located in beautiful wooded areas offering fantastic sea views. There are a few shops, Minimarkets and several cafés and bars and the choice of restaurants covers traditional Greek family restaurants, fish and seafood restaurants and International cuisine. A good selection of restaurants, both on the beach front and up in the village centre as well as clinging to the steep hillside separates the beach from the main road and gives holidaymakers plenty of choice.

Lovely villa, lovely setting overlooking the sea and zante across the water. The villa was spotless, had everything we needed. Only problem for us was our youngest (3years old) , we didn’t want him sleeping upstairs due to the marble spiral staircase which was too steep and we would have been worried about him wandering downstairs on his own. That said that’s our problem and was easily overcome by one of us adults chose to sleep downstairs with him. Villa setting is beautiful, location for local amenities is not so great. You need a car especially if taking young children, in that heat and the steep hills you can’t walk to the beach with children . All in all had a wonderful relaxing time in this very private villa.

Villa Del Cielo was a perfect location for us with unspoilt views of the ocean. The location provides a great deal of privacy because the nearest villas are a good distance away and without a great view of this villa. Facilities were excellent and the villa very clean. The pool is an excellent size and very clean. The nearby supermarkets and tavernas are up a steep hill and about a 10 minute walk so not good for people with mobility issues but was no problem for us. Most Tavernas are not open during the day, only after 18:00, but are good quality and value for money in our opinion. Kefalonia was a level above the rest for us. Importantly we also felt the phone support from Solmar Villas was very good and responsive to a couple of small issues through calls and messaging. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We loved our time at Villa Del Cielo. The sea views are breathtaking and you get the most fabulous sunsets each evening. The mountainous views behind the villa are fab too. We had a car which made it easy to travel to beaches and tavernas and you have ample parking on your own driveway. If you don’t have a car it’s not an issue as there are lots of local tavernas within walking distance, we visited a couple and both were really nice with amazing views. Near the tavernas are a few small supermarkets, well equipped for holiday makers but there is also a large Lidl 20 minutes drive away near Argostoli. It's a short uphill walk as you leave the villa, less than 5 minutes walk to the nearest taverna and about 10 minutes to the nearest supermarket. The villa is great, very modern, clean and has everything you need. The tv shows some English programs on various channels throughout the day. The villa is well equipped with things you’d need throughout your stay and the beds are very comfy. We had a mid week bedding change which was a nice touch. The pool was a little chilly but very refreshing when you get too hot and after a length or two looking at the view it was fine. It really is a great pool to swim in. The location is great, very peaceful and quiet with lots of beaches nearby. We were very impressed with our villa and with Solmar and have already booked through them again.

The villa was set in a great location for us; close to the airport and capital, beaches and activities. Also restaurants within walking distance. The view was lovely and, what was especially nice was that it was in a quiet residential area without the usual jam packed holiday estates. The Covid protocols were good; gel provided in the villa and a midweek change of linen (self or with cleaners). The infinity pool was a good size and made for a relaxing experience. We didn’t use many of the cooking facilities as there were sufficient restaurants within walking distance. A family of five, we ate out with meals ranging €60–120. Within walking distance there were three mini-markets and a bakery. The layout of the villa was perfect: open plan downstairs with three good-sized bedrooms and everything kept spotlessly clean. The bedrooms were minimally furnished but well appointed with good air conditioning. External electric shutters on every room perfectly eliminated any sunlight and helped keep the rooms cool during the day. The flynets on each window were also a great benefit. I recommend car hire as the beach is not an easily walkable distance. There is a trail down to the beach however it is steep and in hot weather I suggest you drive to one of the nearby beaches. There was Wi-fi, however, it was intermittent and of very low speed so we had to rely on our phones for any coverage (essential if you have pre-booked Covid video tests). The villa owner lives nearby and was on hand very quickly for any requests that we had. I would also praise the Solmar team, especially Samantha, who was very responsive to any issues or requests. Thanks for a relaxing break!

A good villa in an attractive location. We enjoyed Lourdas - attractive, sufficient restaurants without being over developed. We appreciated the air conditioning at nights.

The villa was beautiful. A nice modern design with everything fresh and clean. An incredible view which created a fantastic backdrop day and night. The facilities were also excellent - and all easy to use and in working order- we had a couple of small hiccups with power problems which were sorted quickly with a quick call to the rep. The only downside to this villa is the steep climb up to the village- You do need a car with this villa- not great for pushchairs or heels! We honestly wouldn’t let this put us off booking again though as it was a small price to pay for the wonderful stay that we had!

Pleasant villa in wonderful location. Would certainly consider staying again. However a couple of bits outside the property don’t seem to have been quite finished and the access road can be a bit challenging in a car.

We had a really lovely 2 week holiday at the villa, it is as beautiful as the pictures show. We were very happy to see all the doors and windows had mosquito nets , which was not detailed on the website - no bites received :) The location is within walking distance of at least half a dozen restaurants and a couple of supermarkets (although uphill!) The cleaners came twice a week to change the towels and linen and were very friendly. We cannot fault our time and wish we were still there. We have no hesitation in recommending the villa to anyone.

The villa was in a beautiful, peaceful location. The panoramic sea views from the house were stunning and we found it very hard to leave the house and explore the rest of the island.

An absolutely fabulous villa in a great location. A few restaurants within walking distance and some lovely beach front bars and restaurants a very easy drive away at Lourdas beach. Lourdas beach is beautiful - quiet and pretty - as is Kefalonia. It is a wonderful island.

My family of 6 stayed in this Villa July 2018 and it has been one of my best holidays with the family. The Villa is beautiful with plenty of room for my teenage children who were satisfied with the wifi. The views are to die for. The local restaurants are all good with only a short walk albeit a steep one. Would definitely return to this villa. Idealy need a car for the beach but there is a steep 15 min walk down a footpath.
