Superbe maison parfaitement aménagée et au calme au sud de Céphalonie. Nous avons passé un agréable moment dans ce lieu, l’hôte est très sympathique et donne des conseils pour les différentes visites à faire. Petite plage à moins de 10min (avec douche!) ou l’on peut prendre un petit bain dès le matin pour lancer la journée. Je recommande les yeux fermés! ##### Cedric C.

Das Ferienhaus liegt in ruhiger ländlichen Umgebung. Wir fanden es sehr erholsam, da viel Natur, keine Straßen etc. in der Nähe sind. Außerdem ist alles vorhanden und neuwertig. Uns hat die Lage ist sehr gut gefallen, da es relativ zentral gelegen ist. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, unaufdringlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt dort gehabt. ##### Uwe H.

Sauber und gemütlich! Saubere Wohnung gute Ausstattung. Gut für Familien mit zwei Kindern. Grosser Garten, Terasse mit Liegestühlen teils überdacht.-Perfekt. Unkompliziertes und freundliches Mangement. Katzen, ruhiger Hund und auch Hühner kommen gerne mal im Garten vorbei, zur Freude der Kinder. Insgesamt also ein sehr guter Eindruck man vermisst die Fewo sogar richtig wenn man wieder abreist. Und wenn wir noch mal nach Kefalonia fliegen dann gehen wir auf jeden Fall wieder hier hin. ##### Konrad v. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2019 ---
