Vacation Rental Description
Fig Cottage (formerly Les Kai) is a restored 17th century stone cottage - originally the stables to the neighbouring farmhouse Romer. It is a unique and interesting little gem, with metre thick walls to keep you cool in the summer, and with a south west facing sun deck with views across olive groves to the Sea. The pretty swimming pool is set below both cottages and not overlooked by either. The gardens are full of terraces and bourgainvillaea clad stone walls.
This part of Kefalonia is still largely undiscovered by tourists, and more like neighbouring Ithaka than the south of the island. There are several excellent beaches within a ten minute drive of the cottage and a thirty minute walk to the nearest beach. A five minute walk to the village, which has three excellent tavernas, minimarket and church. Five minutes' drive will bring you to Fiscardo, where you can sit at one of the many quayside tavernas, sipping a drink and celebrity spotting as the yachts come and go.

"We had a great time at the cottage - it was everything that we hoped it
would be - the quiet was deafening, particularly first thing in the morning,
not that we saw many!
The weather was the best it could be, and coming back to the pool was
fantastic. It was an ideal location to de-stress, only one problem - the week
went too quickly! We would love to return in the near future.
Many thanks
Donna & Roy "
