Lovely stay
Villa Ela is a lovely basement appartment at the edge of the village of Kalligarta on a hill overlooking the sea.
The Villa has three appartments with the owners Niko and Gabrielle occupying the top floor appartment. The appartment is well furnished and has a covered outside terrace by the pool which is reseved for guests in the basement apartment.
Niko and Gabrielle were excellent hosts having been in touch since the booking was made. Niko met us at the airport which was much appreciated as the appartment would have been hard to find on our own.
He was also kind enough to give us a driving tour of the local area a couple of hours after we arrived showing us where to find the supermarkets, restaurants and the local beaches. This was a lovely touch that I haven't seen from other rental properties.
Kalligarta is a fine base for exploring Cephalonia as it is five mintues drive from the main road that provides the main access to the rest of the island. Most places on Cephalonia are reachable within an hour - the distances are not large, but getting anywhere on Cephalonia does take time as the roads are narrow and pretty windy.
We really enjoyed our stay liking both the island and Villa Ela.
