Dear hosts, Thank you so much for the most peaceful and relaxing stay of our lives. Your place is an absolute gem, nestled in the serene countryside. The beautiful garden and terraces were a perfect spot for us to unwind, and the natural coolness inside the house meant we didn't even need to use the AC. The accommodation is simple yet wonderful, offering everything we needed for a perfect holiday. A special thank you to the both of you for being such incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. It's clear you put a lot of care into your guests' well-being. We were especially grateful for the fresh figs from your garden—they were absolutely heavenly! Your assistance with fixing our quad bike was beyond what we could have expected. Your kindness and willingness to help were humanity in spades. Thank you for everything. We hope to be back soon. Best regards, Christian

Cristal Studios is such a lovely place! We truly enjoyed our time there. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and supportive, offering amazing hospitality throughout our stay. The studio was well-equipped, clean, and very comfortable. We had to work part of the time, and spending a working day in the garden was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming environment.

A microwave would have been very helpful. And a smart TV would be appreciated. (TV has cable - all Greek language channels)

I've stayed in 6 places in Greece so far this year and Cristal Studios was the best. It has beautiful views of the sea, it's quiet and relaxed. The accommodations are exceptional with lots of nice touches like a toaster in the kitchen, outside sitting area, closeline with pegs and a comfortable sofa in the sitting area. And the host provided basic supplies like olive oil and salt. Everything works well, including the heating/AC, the hot water heater, the TV with basic cable, the stove, and fridge/freezer. And the room is spacious - I never felt cramped as I have in other accommodations in Greece. To top it off the host provided first hand advice on fishing and paddling in the area which was very helpful. Ive paddled in over 250 locations around the World - the paddling in Zola is some of the most beautiful I've experienced anywhere. In addition the hosts provided me with multiple treats during my stay, including stuffed peppers, Greek spirits and home made Baclava ....the best I've ever had. BRAVO!

Nothing very serious, the kitchen enquipment is rather modest and fridge is sometimes quite loud but overall no problem.

We had a wonderful stay. The host is very nice and kind person, always very helpful. The accomodation is located in calm area, great for relaxing. The room is spacy enough for two people, including small kitchen. We appreciated windows having nets to protect from the insect. The terrase is lovely and offers great place for enjoying meals and resting.

Very comfortable studio. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Gave us some fresh fruits and raki, and let us pick some fruit from the garden. They also gave us the studio with a view of the sea. Absolutely amazing.

Some very small things but nothing to detract from a perfect vacation.

Amazing hosts Michalis and June, super friendly and accommodating of any request. Very good location, close to two beautiful beaches (Vouti and Ag. Kiriaki) with a studio that had all needed amenities. Also the cleanest tourist accommodation I have ever stayed in, in all my life. Thank you to the hosts for making it a perfect vacation for us!

You definitely need a car and the roads are a bit narrow and twisty. Would have been better if we had a small car

Fabulous view, great taverna a short walk away Amazing hosts, very friendly and knowledgeable. The studio was very clean and had everything we needed even included maps and pictures of beaches to help find our way around.

We had a fantastic stay at Cristal Studios. Perfect location for exploring many parts of the island and for quiet rest as well. Very close to beautiful beaches. Our hosts, Mikos and June were very helpful and accommodating. Our room was clean and we had all the amenities we needed to prepare our own food. Overall it was a 5 star experience.

The most quiet place you can imagine. If you enjoy silence you can't miss it! Miguel treated us like we were King and Queen, one of the best host we ever met. Super clean and comfortable room, from which you can easily reach some of most beautiful places in Kefallonia. Already miss it!

We wanted to relax after a very hectic year and switch off. Succeeded!

Beautilful and spacy accomodation with a lot of privacy. We were there in September, lovely temperature. The studio is high up on the mountain, so a car is needed. Hosts were very attentive, everything is very clean. There are not so many shops, so we advice to bring basic food needs. The beach close by is breath taking. Thank you so much, for such a great experience. We are from Denmark.

We had a fantastic stay, our hosts were lovely and so accommodating and the room was clean and comfortable. We were given pointers about what to do in the local area and we were even brought some fresh melon and glasses of wine. We loved our stay and were sad to leave. Thank you!

Great host Quiet area with a wonderful view Recommendations from host regarding activities, restaurants, beaches Close to Vouti beach (5 min with car)

The host was very kind, he took care of us when we needed something. The apartment is nice, with a lovely patio to relax yourself after the sea. The location is very nice, Zola is a small place in the north of the island, perfect if you want to stay far away from the crowd. From Zola you can reach easily some beaches by car and go on a trip by boat to discover other beautiful beaches. Absolutely recommended.

- Host: very friendly and welcoming, who will provide you with good recommendations for the area, just ask; - Location: Zola, where Cristal Studios are located, is a small & quiet little village on the slopes above the beaches of Agyia Kiriaki and Vouti and where after 7 pm the entire village is in shadow, so the sea breeze from cools all the area; nearby, at a walking distance, you have a restaurant and 15 minutes by car across the valley there is a grocery store; at the foothill in the marina close to Kiriaki beach you'll find taxi boats with which you can reach beaches like Fteri, Manta, Amidi, Myrtos, etc. - Property: very well maintained, everything is functional and very clean room and bathroom; every third day towels were changed and once a week bed linens were also changed; - Parking: Private parking place just in front of the property is provided at no extra charge; - Amenities: kitchinette is provided with all you'll need including a mid sized fridge, electric stove including 3 burners, kettle and dishes; table for four inside and outside on the terrace; - Sleeping: the double bed was confortable and there was also an expandable sofa; - Appliances: 32" flat tv with tv channels; wifi via main router and a signal extender with acceptable signal for laptops (not that good though wifi signal for smartphones in our room); good 5g gsm coverage in the area though;

Beautiful garden and amazing view from the terrance. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Private parking and helpful owner. Beautiful Vouti Beach nearby. We enjoyed our stay :)

Nothing at all - perfect location for a peaceful break

Everything about the property was wonderful- the studio was very spacious- well equipped and spotlessly clean … we had our own garden area and verandah … with sun loungers and outdoor armchairs… glorious!

There was nothing that we did not like,although make sure you have a car as the nearest grocery drive is about a 10-minute drive.

The location. Cosy little village on the hillside surrounded by dramatic landscape of a bay and mountain that changes its colours throughout the day. A 5 min walk to a local enjoyable taverna and 5min drive down the hills to the secluded beach made just for snorkelling between massive fallen rocks. The place itself meticulously maintained by the embodiment of a Greek culture, friendly and welcoming Mikelis and his wife June. He's always there for local tips and hints how to best sightsee the island and ease you into that holiday mode. Thank you for all the beautiful conversation we had in your garden either with a sunset over the bay or full moon, relaxing on the sunbeds. The rooms are properly set with all that you will need if you fancy a go at preping greek food yourself from local markets. Zola is a great spot to explore the rest of the island,such as well-known fiscardo and myrtos Beach! What's also worth mentioning is that every morning at 9.00, a lovely lady with a red van would come and sell fresh bread and pastries! Apple pie is for a win!;) We came all stressed from London City and came out completely relaxed and charged with positiviness! We are missing this place so much! I'm hoping we can return there soon enough! With Love Anna and Rafael!
