Fiskardo is a picturesque village in the northern part of Kefalonia. It links the island, by boat to Lefkas, Ithaca and Astakos. Fiskardo is the only village that remained virtually intact after the earthquake of 1953 and so it has kept the traditional architecture of the island. The area was declared a historical site and preserved as such giving the impression that time has stopped. It is one of the most cosmopolitan parts of the island with celebrities both Greek and foreign visiting the area. The large marina accommodates many boats and Yachts. And there is the chance to explore the beaches around that are only accessible by boat. A quaint village with many shops, taverns and bars all within walking distance make this place a popular destination.
This building dates back to 1768 when it was first built and was renovated in 2003. We kept the exterior stone walls so we managed to achieve a natural insulation to the house so it stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Outside the house you may still see the stonebuilt "linos" and "podohi" where the grapes were pressed to make the house wine.. Inside the kitchen there is still the old stone-oven where housewives used to cook with woods and in the living room the old fireplace. The house consists of two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom and an attic which upon request could be another bedroom for 2. The villa as it is can easily accommodate up to 5 people as the sofa in the lounge turns into a bed. One of the bedrooms has a double iron bed and the other one twin beds. The bedrooms have wardrobes and ceiling fans, although their use would be rather limited because of the good temperature the house has. In the kitchen there is a cooker with oven, fridge - freezer, microwave, washing machine, toaster, kettle and all utensils necessary in everyday life of a family. The living room has a satellite TV and dvd player. Both indoors and outdoors there is wireless internet connection while in the living room could be with cable as well. In the surroundings we tried to provide you safety and privacy with a gate and a private parking for 2 vehicles. On the stonebuilt yards, guests are able to relax under the cool shade of the old olive trees as there are bamboo armchairs and a wooden swing beside the traditional water tank.
