Review summary

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the villas for being exceptional, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a brilliant holiday. Many people highlight the stunning views, excellent pools, and spacious, clean interiors. The staff and hosts are often described as helpful, friendly, and professional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for many. However, some customers also noted issues with facilities, such as a lack of kitchen utensils, poor cleanliness, and maintenance problems like blocked sinks or non-functional air conditioning.

Perfection

Perfection. Such was the enjoyment of my stay, I uncharacteristically booked the exact same villa I had last year. Highly professional, understanding and polite staff. The Villas Solmar have available are not only luxurious, they are a little world of their own. Whether one is seeking to rest up by the pool with a great view, or get the whole gang together for a family holiday/team trip etc, this company certainly can and will accommodate.

Hi Farhad

Thank you for taking the time to leave such positive feedback about your stay. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your holiday with us.

It’s great to know that you especially appreciated the ambiance of the villa. I personally have visited Villa Azalia and so can relate to why you have rebooked again.
The highlight for me is the master bedroom, overlooking the bay through the panoramic windows is just amazing.

We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

Thank you again,

Amazing Villa

The choice of villas with Solmar are amazing. Our villa in Kefalonia was outstanding, may be too far out from the town for some people but for us it was perfect as we liked the privacy
Fantastic infinity pool and lots of outdoor seating to choose from.

The company solmar villas was the best villa rental company for service and price.then they were either merged or taken over years back now,and as a customer who used them at least 2 times a year I noticed the difference in price.quality of the villas and the service given.they used to solve villa problems quick and positive.now it's more a full enquiry has to be done.and I have communication to back up my statement
