1 Bed villa to Rent in Kefalonia | Villas and Apartments to rent in Fiscardo

The Vision

We have created a boutique house on the stunning island of Kefalonia, in the quiet hamlet of Batzukata, a short distance away from elegant resort of Fiscardo. Our vision has always been to restore one of the many ruins that litter the landscape on the island and in 2006 we found the perfect spot. We started with the shell of a 400 year old property that had been left to decay since the devastating 1953 earthquake and have practically had to rebuild it from the ground up. All of the stonework in the old part of the house is original and our architect is from the old school, wanting to retain any of the original features that were still remaining - one of the bathrooms still contains the old domed stone bread oven.

The Living

In the main area of the house, the entrance leads into the relaxed galleried lounge. This has been furnished to a high standard with Italian furniture and handblown glass lighting. With high, open ceilings, the morning light will flood the wooden floored room and create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. There is a floating staircase leading down to the kitchen and breakfast room with a door out onto the main marble patio.
Between the kitchen and the new bedroom there is a washroom/WC for general use which is in addition to the en-suite wet-rooms. Central heating is available upon request to ensure that comfort is kept to a maximum even on cooler evenings and air conditioning is provided to cool down those hot summer nights.

The Outside

Outside, again an open feel has been created. From the original arched entrance through to the main door to the house, sloping down to patioed terraces with shade provided by established olive and almond trees together with sun umbrellas and pergolas a feeling of being in the seclusion of the island is felt. There is an outside shower, for those mornings where you want to ready yourself for the day ahead watching the sun rising over the channel between Kefalonia and Ithaca. A large barbecue area that has been rebuilt from an existing structure on the land and a private stunning infinity swimming pool gives the most incredible views to the Ionian sea and beyond.
