The Old Farmhouse in Halikeri, near Fiskardo, Kefalonia
Restored Farmhouse, with Stunning Sea Views in Peaceful surroundings 10 mins from Fiskardo
Studio, Cottage and Apartment (Sleeps up to 8)
|
|
The owners sailed into Fiskardo over 25 years ago and discovered this peaceful old farmhouse with its wonderful views over the west coast of Kefalonia. They never left and have now lovingly restored the farmhouse, which with its whitewashed walls, stone floors and original artworks has a rustic charm all too rare today. Available for guests are 3 availebilities adjoining the main house. Surrounding the house are shady terraces which abound with mature trees, multi-coloured flowers and aromatic herbs. This is a place to relax and get away from it all, yet it is only a short drive (10 mins) to the stylish resort of Fiskardo.

Guest comments
‘You wake in the morning to that dark blue sea, framed by the deep white-washed windows of your rooms. Some mornings the melodious bells of a local flock of sheep join the bird songs.’ Jeri Ravenswing, San Francisco Chronicle.
This is the atmosphere of the Old Farmhouse:"I do not want my house to be walled in all sides, and my windows to be stuffed,
I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house, as freely as possible." Gandhi 1921
