EOT approved (Greek National Tourism Organization)
License Number: ΕΣΛ-0458K91000365501

Auntie’s Cottage is a welcoming homely retreat located within the picturesque mountain village of Makriotika, on the slopes of the mountain ‘Agia Dynati’, offering a quiet stay in a lovely rural setting - away from it all but easy to reach places of interest - and the opportunity for you to experience the serene greek rural life. Because of its location the cottage overlooks the valley of Pylaros and the garden terrace boasts stunning views across the beautiful valley and the sea beyond. It is ideally based for those who love nature and hiking as they will discover beautiful walking trails throughout the surrounding small villages and mountains in the valley. The beautifully well kept outside area provides a secluded setting for lazy days. Within a short walking distance (approx. 130m.) you will find Makriotika village square with a mini market, a cafe or indulge in traditional dishes at the local taverna. Supermarket, bakery and gas station can be found within approximately 1 km. The quaint village of Agia Efimia, a 5 minute drive, offers all amenities from supermarkets, bars, cafes and tavernas to atm machine, pharmacy, tourist information and car/motorbike/motorboat rental places. There are numerous beautiful pebble coves for you to enjoy your swim and scuba diving lessons can be booked. Other outdoor activities, such as horseback riding & water skiing are provided in the area. Within approx. a 7 minute drive you reach the amazing Myrtos beach famed for the beauty of its blue water (voted one of the top ten beaches in the world). Makriotika and "Auntie’s Cottage" are an ideal base for exploring Kefalonia. The village itself is in a great central location regarding distances, giving easy access to all areas of the island, especially the northern part of the island (Agia Efimia, Sami, Assos, Fiscardo, Myrtos beach).

A wonderful place

If you are looking for an authentic Greek stay, be sure to try aunties cottage. Located in a centrally located mountain village with a local busy taverna and butcher and the pleasant town of Agia Effimia nearby. The cottage is really fully equipped and has plenty of space inside and outside. The terrace has sun and shade and a beautiful view over the valley with the sea in the distance. Do not expect 5 star modern glossy luxury, but instead opt for warmth, cosiness and the feeling of coming home in a place where you do not have to lock the door. A car is necessary, but you can park it in the spacious parking space. Sophia is very helpful and her tips took us all over the island. Thanks again Sophia!

Charming and well-equipped cottage in good location

Sophie's property is comfortable and well-equipped, with plenty of outdoor seating areas to enable guests to either catch or avoid the sun at different times of the day. A very peaceful location, quiet during the day and at nighttime. The location is quite central, enabling visitors to Kefalonia to drive both to the North and South of the island on day trips. There is a good local taverna 1 or 2 mins walk down the road and another a 2 minute car drive away, plus small local supermarkets. There are 2 routes to Argostoli, but I highly recommend avoiding the shorter route over the hill at nighttime and sticking to the 10-minute longer coastal route.

Aunties Cottage

Wir haben uns im Cottage sehr wohl gefühlt: es ist gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet und es hat alles was es braucht, auf der Terrasse mit Weitblick auf die Hügel und das Meer lässt es sich wunderbar frühstücken oder abends ein Glas Wein geniessen. Es ist ruhig gelegen und ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Sophia ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, sie hat uns für die Ankunft u.a. Früchte, Wein, Brot, kefalonischen Honig und Oliven bereitgestellt und uns mit vielen guten Tips versorgt. Das Cottage ist super eingerichtet (zb Waschmaschine inkl. Anleitung, Wäscheständer, gut ausgestattete Küche, Regenschirme, Strandschirme, ...), Sophia denkt wirklich an Alles :) Herzlichen Dank Sophia, wir haben diese Woche auf Kefalonia sehr genossen!

Perfekt eingerichtetes Häuschen in idyllischer Lage

Wir können das Cottage nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen! Der Empfang von Sophia war sehr sehr herzlich mit vollgefülltem Kühlschrank für ein perfektes Ankommen. Alles war liebevoll hergerichtet und es fehlte im Häuschen an nichts.. sogar Fenistil und Tesafilm haben wir gefunden :-) Der Blick von der Terasse ist herrlich auf die Bucht und es war auch nicht zu warm, da wir unter einem alten Olivenbaum saßen. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön und noch nicht überlaufen. 2 gute Tavernen sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Wir haben uns wunderbar erholt und kommen ganz bestimmt wieder. Herzlichen Dank an Sophia ;-)

About the host

Hosted by Sophia

Hello, my name is Sophia with a ph :D I was born in South Africa from Cephalonian parents and I moved to Greece at the age of 7. In 2016, I decided to settle in Cephalonia. 'Auntie's Cottage' is the place where I spent almost all of my summers as a kid and was owned by my aunt, hence the name. I like every color but my favorite is purple and grey. I'm a perfectionist and an avid 80s music fan. Can't wait to host your perfect vacations in Makriotika.
