About this property

Traditional family house in a village in the north of the island of Kefalonia

Villa Eleni is a reconstructed and modernised traditional family house with a large pine-grove garden. There is a pergola covered courtyard and an extensive sitting out terrace, which commands panoramic views of endless rolling green hills, the adjacent islands of Lefkas Ithaca and the sea.

Entertainment: Villa Eleni is located near (15 min drive on a good road) the old fishing village of Fiskardo, which has not been destroyed by the earthquake of 1953 with its old beautiful houses. Today it's a V.I.P. place with a yacht harbour and several famous restaurants, night clubs, hotels and shops.

Travel accommodation: The island of Kefalonia can be reached from the ports of Patras, KillinI, Astakos and a small port of the island of Lefkas, Vassiliki, by ferry-boat. The ports of the island are Argostoli, Lixouri, Sami, Poros and Fiskardo. There are daily or twice daily flights between Athens and Argostoli.

Amazing property with lots of space for everyone. Really nice location where you can make lots of noise because there are no neighbours nearby. People of the village were very friendly too

Charmant huis voor de liefhebber

Bij aankomst waren de eigenaren nog bezig alles schoon te maken. We waren er ook iets te vroeg, daarom zijn we direct naar het strand gegaan. Toen we 's avonds terugkwamen om 8 uur waren ze net klaar. Ik moest wel de vloer nog vegen. Het is een charmant oud huis met meerdere terrassen, met zon en schaduw. Overal heb je mooi uitzicht. De keuken ligt buiten maar er is in het huis boven ook een kleine koelkast. Wat wel vreemd was dat we geen toegang hadden tot alle kamers die in de advertentie getoond worden en ook geen tweede badkamer. Op de fotos ziet het huis er ook iets mooier uit. Vanaf heel vroeg in de morgen hoor je 2 hanen en geiten. Wij zijn dat niet gewend en ik kon daar niet doorheen slapen. Je kan wel met de ramen en luiken dicht met airco slapen, die overigens maar in 2 van de 3 slaapkamers staan. Wij hebben een fijn verblijf gehad, maar het is een simpel huis waar je niet te hoge verwachtingen van moet hebben.

Traumvilla in toller Lage

Wir haben 4 Nächte in der schönen Villa im Norden der Insel verbracht. Das Haus mit den riesigen Dachterrassen und dem großen Garten ist wirklich ein Traum! Wir waren gemeinsam mit unserem 2-jährigen Sohn für 4 Nächte dort und haben nichts vermisst - bis auf Moskito-Netze in der Fenstern oder über den Decken. Denn Mücken gibt es nun mal (Spray einpacken!). Ansonsten ist die Lage des Hauses perfekt, um alle tollen Stände im Norden anzufahren. Zum Myrthos Beach braucht man auch nur etwas über eine halbe Stunde. Alles in allem das perfekte Ferienhaus - auch für größere Familien oder Gruppen. Wir kommen hoffentlich noch mal wieder.

A fantastic house, a key place for visiting Kefalonia

We spent two increadible weeks with the whole family in villa Eleni. The house is only 20 minutes away from the main beaches of north Kefalonia. However, it is far from the mess, in a small, peaceful village. In the house, in the garden, and in the surroundings you can feel centuries of history. The combination of traditional house and modern equipment is perfect. Fotis and his wife are fantastic hosts. Many thanks! We will come back for sure. Giovanni

Very good experience

The villa is old but renovated. You feel like traveling back in time. Located in a very quiet area with enormous pine tree garden and several terraces, although it is very difficult to keep such big yard clean. It offers everything to make you feel home. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and explained to us everything we needed. I would definitely recommend it!

Sehr erholsam

Wir verbrachten sehr erholsame Urlaubstage in dem alten, aber gepflegten Haus mit viel Platz und mehreren aussichtsreischen Terrassen: Blick in das grüne, hügelige Umland, nach Ithaka, Lefkas und an guten Tagen sogar bis zum Festland. Sehr schöne Badebuchten bei Fiscardo (15 min. mit dem Auto). Mit dem Boot (Bootsverleih in Fiscardo) kann man schöne Ausflüge unternehmen und sich weitere Buchten erschließen. Weiter entfernt und landschaftliche großartig: Myrthos und Petani. Es gibt sogar mehrere ausgeschilderte Wanderungen! Tolle Restaurants in der unmittelbaren Nähe ("Veggera" von Martina und Spyros und "O Makis" in Vasilikades.) Im Dorf ein sehr nettes Kafenion "Synantisi" mit kleinen Gerichten und selbst gemachten Kuchen. Überall spricht man englisch, oft auch deutsch. Fotis, der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er spricht hervorragend deutsch. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!! Eva und Klaus, München, Deutschland
