SARAKINIKO COTTAGE

  We had a wonderful holiday at Sarakiniko Cottage and found it had everything we needed for our 12 day stay.
The pool was perfect for our two children aged 12... read more and 8 and the small beach nearby was great for snorkelling or just a swim in the sea.
We met Babis on a couple of occasions and he was extremely friendly and keen to help with anything he could. However, we had no need to contact him as everything we needed for our stay was already in place!There are a couple of lovely Tavernas less than five minutes away and a small supermarket within walking distance with friendly and helpful staff.
As we had been to the island before we decided not to hire a car but did hire a boat for the day and explored the coastline, stopping off at a number of lovely beaches only accessible by boat. We also took a day cruise to Ithaca which was beautiful and well worth a trip.
We loved our stay at Sarakinko Cottage, would definitely recommend and would love to return in the future.

  We had a great time at Babis’s villa. The villa and pool were lovely and extremely clean. The local village of Poros offered several great restaurants and everyone was friendly.... read more If you are looking for somewhere with a bit more nightlife, Kefalonia isn’t the place for you. It was an extremely quiet island - perfect for rest and relaxation! We had a great week at the villa.

  Lovely cottage, absolutely as described. Everything was very clean & perfect location with fabulous views, sunrise is something special . Little cove 5 minutes away is beautiful.
5 minute walk... read more to harbour & another 10 minutes to the town although it is hilly.
Babis replied to questions very quickly.
I would totally recommend this property.

  The kids loved the pool and Babis was a great host.

  What a lovely place - on the headland near to the memorial for HMS Perseus (an interesting story if you're interested) and near to an amazing taverna, Babis' cottage is... read more super cozy and comfortable with all of the amenities you could possibly need whilst there. We loved the pool and the large garden area. We also enjoyed the short walk into Lefkes round the corner - a nice stroll! Thanks to Babis for a great stay and a really nice bottle of wine on arrival. Would stay again!

  Staying in Babis's cottage was fabulous. It's on a quiet road in Poros with amazing ocean views. Just a short walk to a small local beach which we had all... read more to ourselves. It was paradise. Babis and his wife Toula are friendly, kind and super helpful. They arranged transport to and from the ferry for us. The cottage itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and felt homely. We hired a car from the next door neighbour at a reasonable price and toured the island. The cottage comes with a few friendly happy hungry cats, so bring cat biscuits... this is normal for the whole island and it added to the homely feel of the place. We came during the off season and stayed for 5 weeks. The heaters worked well in keeping the cottage warm and the extra blankets cosy. Thank you so much Babis and Toula, we loved our time in Kefalonia. Bree and Simon.

  We stayed at Sarakiniko Cottage in June. It was really great in a lovely location away from the tourist hustle and bustle. Babis has put in lots of little touches... read more (like pool towels; a great radio and a coffee maker) and the cottage is really comfortable.

We loved having the pool for a quick dip after a day out exploring. Poros was lovely and there are restaurants and a couple of bars/cafes and a supermarket in Poros port just down the hill.

The hanging chair was a lovely way to while away an hour with a good book, and the outside space was great (really appreciated the outside shower too).

We'd highly recommend Valsamis Cruises on Captain Yannis's boat in the port . We went to Ithaca and Zante with him and had a great time.

One thing to mention is that the secret path to the beach that other people have talked about is not for the faint hearted. If you aren't pretty fit and agile, it is dangerous. We made it down once, but we didn't go back even though the beach was nice.

But, all in all, we had a great stay. Thanks Babis

  Wir hatten eine super Zeit. Cottage ist total schön und liebevoll eingerichtet, mit komplett eingerichteter Küche, hübsche Terrasse, Grill und Wäschespinne.Blick aufs Meer-wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, zu Fuss... read more war der Hafen von Poros in 5-10 Minuten erreichbar, somit auch Minimarket, Tavernen usw.
Babis war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Über die Kommunikation können wir nicht viel sagen, weil wir keine Fragen hatten. Haben aber am Ende noch einmal miteinander telefoniert. Für uns war es rundum schön, wir kommen gerne wieder.

  We enjoyed our stay a lot. Babis was waiting for us when we arrived and during our stay of 1 week, the apartment was cleaned one time which we really... read more appreciated. There even was a bottle of wine in the fridge. We also enjoyed the pool. The only thing we didn't know is that the house is directly on the road that connects the city to Skala, therefore a lot of cars are passing by. Other than that everything was fine.

  Fantastic villa, beautifully decorated with own pool. A very short walk from a virtually private beach and also with a taverna serving delicious home-cooked food with great views just around... read more the corner. Loved staying here, would highly recommend.

  The villa is lovely and I’d thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants peace and quiet, with easy access to the town and the beach!
