We spent an amazing two weeks on the beautiful island of Kefalonia. A visit that was enhance by our stay at cottage Hestia. We have travelled extensively throughout Greece and this is the best place we have stayed. It has every comfort that you will need, and literally is like a home from home. It is well maintained and very very clean. The support from the host is superb. Really supportive with information and help, but without being too intrusive. The actual location is perfect for exploring the island. Nothing is too far away. In fact, the close proximity (about 15 min drive) to the airport made for a relaxed journey. Argostoli is only a 10/15 drive away, and being so close really added massive value to the holiday. We were able to spend several evenings relaxing there, enjoying a fantastic atmosphere and variety of restaurants. From just watching the world go by sat in the central square, to taking a sunset cruise from the harbour, or taking advantage the frequent ferries to make the 15 minute journey across to Lixouri. Just wonderful. Many, many amazing beeches can be easily reached. During our first week week we easily drove to Myrtos, Antisamos, Scala, Lourdas, and Xi. However in the second week we spent all of our time at the local beech in Spartia, only 10 mins drive away. For beech lovers this offered everything we wanted and needed. Also very close by we found brilliant local tavernas. One, Anna's, is literally a short 5 minute walk away. Superb authentic Greek food. Overall a real gem of a property. Superb hosts, top accommodation and a unique location on the island. If you are looking for a property, and you are reading this, then my recommendation to you is to stop lookng, and just book cottage Hestia. Have a great holiday.
