Villehardouin Farm Estate, Studios & Apartments, Minia, Kefalonia
Garden-view studios by the airport, close to Spasmata Beach
About this hotel
Set in Minia rather than central Argostoli, Villehardouin Farm Estate trades town-centre bustle for a quieter, more rural setting close to the runway. Each unit comes with air-conditioning, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom, and the balcony or terrace looks out over either the garden or the seasonal outdoor pool depending on the room booked. Guests can unwind on the sun terrace, at the bar, or in the coffee shop's outdoor seating, a more relaxed pace than the busier hotels closer to the harbor. Spasmata Beach is a short walk away, and the Historical Houses and Argostoli Port sit within easy reach for a day trip into town, making the estate a workable base for guests who want the airport close by without giving up a genuine patch of garden outside the door.
- Garden or pool-view balconies
- Seasonal outdoor pool
- Near Kefalonia Airport
- Kitchenette in every unit
Our take
This suits travellers who want a quieter, garden-set stay close to the airport rather than the town centre, ideal for an arrival night or a final stay before an early flight. Couples and small groups who prioritise the pool and garden setting over walkable nightlife will get the most from Villehardouin. Travellers wanting to walk to Lithostroto or the port each evening should book closer to central Argostoli instead.
- ✓Book this for the first or last night of a Kefalonia trip, given the short distance to the airport
- ✓Ask for a pool-view balcony specifically if the garden-only outlook doesn't appeal
- ✓Walk to Spasmata Beach in the early morning before the day's airport traffic picks up
Why we love it
- A genuinely quiet, garden-set location away from the town centre
- A seasonal outdoor pool visible from many of the balconies
- A short walk to Spasmata Beach for a quick swim
- Easy access to Kefalonia Airport for early departures
Why guests love itI would recommend Villehardouin Farm Estate to families who want a simple self-catering base near the airport. The aparthotel-style studios and apartments in Minia have a kitchenette in every unit, balconies with garden or pool views and a seasonal outdoor pool. Spasmata Beach is a short walk, and Kefalonia Airport is a few steps away. It is outside central Argostoli, so I would count on a car for evenings out.
