Joleni Cottage: peaceful, accessible nature retreat, only minutes from beaches
Joleni Cottage is a green hideaway situated on the outskirts of Keramies Village (in the Leivathos region in the South of Kefalonia). During its renovation, the 100 sqm one-level house was converted to allow wheelchair access. It is convenient for guests with limited mobility but also for those who enjoy the comfort of a barrier-free holiday cottage. The house is located 200m from the street along an unpaved side road and offers privacy and tranquillity. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat in a green environment, this is the place for you.
Joleni Cottage is conveniently located for exploring the island. Several beautiful beaches are only a short drive of 10-15 minutes away. Argostoli and the airport are within a 15-minute drive. A basic minimarket and a traditional taverna are within a 10-minute walk in the village. A restaurant, two cafes/bars, and two more minimarkets are in the neighbouring village of Spartia, just a 2-minute drive away. An open-plan, fully equipped kitchen with a dining -and sitting area offers plenty of space. From here patio doors open to the covered terrace with table and chairs.
• Main bedroom: double bed with a width of 1,60m. Access to the sun terrace. • Second bedroom: 2 single beds with the option of an additional folding bed. • Bathroom: plenty of daylight, floor-level shower. A washing machine is provided. • Additional WC. • Terraces: The roofed terrace can be accessed from the living room, the uncovered sun terrace is accessible directly from the main bedroom. The third terrace under the oak tree offers shade all through the day. • Sleeping Arrangements: The cottage sleeps 4-5 persons, with options for an additional folding bed in the twin bedroom or alternatively on the sleeping sofa of the sitting area. • Air conditioning in all rooms • Mosquito screens on all windows and doors • WIFI free of charge • TV with free satellite channels. Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime etc. with your own log-in • Wheelchair accessible parking for step-free access into the house • Wheelchair accessible bathroom • Sunbeds A hire car is recommended
! Starting from January 2025, the Greek climate tax ("Sustainability fee against climate change") which had been introduced in 2024, will be increased in 2025. This tax will now amount to 15 € per night per house this size, to be paid by the guest. On VRBO it is implemented as Administration Fee as it is not possible to implement a tax per night per house. To offset this amount somewhat I will not be applying a fee for the final cleaning. !
LGBT-friendly, all guests are welcome
For guests with limited mobility: The ground-floor level cottage is step-free throughout the house. The bathroom has a roll-in shower and a wash basin with wheelchair clearance since the cupboards underneath are provided with rolls to be placed somewhere else in the bathroom. This gives the washbasin an accessible height of 68cm. A shower stool is available. The widths of all doors are between 81cm and 1m. The hall and hallway are 2,20m and 1,24m wide. The parking space in the front allows step-free access to the house.

Charmante maison au calme pour découvrir Céphalonie!
Superbe maison parfaitement aménagée et au calme au sud de Céphalonie. Nous avons passé un agréable moment dans ce lieu, l’hôte est très sympathique et donne des conseils pour les différentes visites à faire. Petite plage à moins de 10min (avec douche!) ou l’on peut prendre un petit bain dès le matin pour lancer la journée. Je recommande les yeux fermés!

Schönes Ferienhaus
Das Ferienhaus ist sauber, sehr gut ausgestattet und befindet sich am Rande eines Dorfes in absoluter ruhigen Lage. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und zur Begrüßung gab es ein einen kleinen Einkauf für das erste Frühstück und auch Nudeln und Tomatensoße. Das fanden wir sehr aufmerksam und nett. Das FH ist empfehlenswert.

Schönes geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Schönes Ferienhaus zum Entspannen und Wohlfühlen.
Das Ferienhaus liegt in ruhiger ländlichen Umgebung. Wir fanden es sehr erholsam, da viel Natur, keine Straßen etc. in der Nähe sind. Außerdem ist alles vorhanden und neuwertig. Uns hat die Lage ist sehr gut gefallen, da es relativ zentral gelegen ist. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, unaufdringlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt dort gehabt.

Super Fewo für Familien mit Kindern. Sauber und gemütlich!
Saubere Wohnung gute Ausstattung.
Gut für Familien mit zwei Kindern.
Grosser Garten, Terasse mit Liegestühlen teils überdacht.-Perfekt.
Unkompliziertes und freundliches Mangement.
Katzen, ruhiger Hund und auch Hühner kommen gerne mal im Garten vorbei, zur Freude der Kinder.
Insgesamt also ein sehr guter Eindruck man vermisst die Fewo sogar richtig wenn man wieder abreist.
Und wenn wir noch mal nach Kefalonia fliegen dann gehen wir auf jeden Fall wieder hier hin.
