Authentic Kefalonian countryside living meets ultimate family-friendly tranquility in this exceptional traditional stone cottage. Nestled within a lush olive grove in the peaceful village of Chionata, this detached property perfectly blends rustic charm with all modern comforts.
The cottage stands out for its beautiful traditional tiled roof, earthy plaster finishes, and a large wooden pergola sheltering the stone-paved veranda. It is the perfect romantic sanctuary for couples seeking a relaxing getaway, completely surrounded by the peace of nature.
Description of the space
The property offers a bright, 46 sq.m. open-plan layout (studio) with a strong traditional character. The sleeping area is cleverly separated from the rest of the home by a low, subtle partition wall that doubles as a unique headboard, ensuring privacy without closing off the space.
The sleeping corner features a large double bed with a distinctive, distressed wooden frame, dressed in premium linens and equipped with built-in reading lights. The impressive exposed wooden roof structure and warm yellow walls frame the entire interior, creating a unique sense of warmth and coziness.
Within the same open space, you will find an indoor fireplace, a cozy armchair, and a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, kettle, essential cookware, and a dining setup. Large glass doors lead directly onto the spacious, stone-paved terrace under the wooden pergola, making it the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by olive trees.
Description of the location
The cottage is nestled in a beautiful, secluded setting in Chionata, serving as the ideal base to explore both the southern and central parts of Kefalonia. The cosmopolitan capital, Argostoli, is approximately 25 km away (a 35-minute drive), offering easy access for strolls, shopping, and dining.
The location is highly privileged for beach lovers, as some of the island’s most beautiful southern beaches are very close by, such as Katelios (just 10 minutes away) and Kaminia. The popular resort of Skala, famous for its endless organized sandy beach and numerous venues, is only 10 km away (about a 15-minute drive).
While the property provides complete serenity in nature, getting around is simple. You can easily arrange day trips to visit the world-famous Myrtos beach on the northern side of the island. Additionally, for your convenience, the villa offers free private parking right at the entrance.
