Exceptional sea views from this delightful villa nestled into the hillside.

Kalograta Villa is a one storey, 2 bedroom villa nestled into the hillside above the picturesque and popular harbour of Fiscardo.
Spectacular sea views can be enjoyed from the villa's large verandah and the graduated terraces in the garden below.
The house is totally in keeping with the area; it has high wooden ceilings, locally quarried stone floors and traditional wooden windows and shutters.
The villa consists of a large living and dining area with an open plan kitchen. There are two bedrooms, one double and one twin, both with en suite shower rooms.
The living room and bedrooms all open onto a large terrace that commands breathtaking views over the nearby island of Ithaca and Lefkada, with the mainland mountains of Epiros in the distance.
There is a pergola with built in seating at the far end of the terrace, providing a lovely shaded area for relaxing and socialising. Additional shade on the sunny part of the terrace is provided by parasols, so there is plenty of choice! The stars on a clear night from the terrace are phenomenal.
Below the main terrace is a mature garden consisting of two ancient olive trees that provide welcome natural shade during the hot summer, colourful oleander bushes, scented honeysuckle and jasmine plants, yucca trees plus a lemon tree. A gradually sloping stone pathway meanders down from the house to the private pool terrace. The pool measures approximately 8x4 metres, there are sun beds and parasols on the terrace.
The villa sits below the road and has a sloping driveway. There is parking on the road if you prefer not to use the drive. Whilst taxis are plentiful, hiring a car really opens up the possibilities of exploring the area.

The villa is a 5 minute drive or 15 minute stroll from the local village with 2 shops and several places to eat. Occasionally there’s a traffic jam caused by the local shepherd moving his sheep from one area to another!

Fiscardo with its picturesque harbour is perfect for a sundowner or meal ( there’s some fabulous restaurants), you can watch the super yachts and flotillas arriving in the late afternoon. There’s two supermarkets and a variety of shops, a chemist and two bakeries. The doctor is also based here. You can hire small boats to explore the coast or go over to Ithaca or book to go on a Marine Adventure and if you’re lucky, swim with turtles.

Assos also has a tiny harbour with tavernas and a castle perched on the isthmus above the village. The drive along the coast road rivals the famous Amalfi coast drive ...watch out for the goats who live on the bend! You can stop to admire the famous Myrtos beach with its turquoise water from here.

There are several beaches around north Kefalonia, often small coves with a nearby taverna. A few have sunbeds and parasols to hire. They are mostly pebble beaches which makes for clear water and great snorkelling.
Villa Kalograta has been advertised on VRBO for some years now.
We stayed here for a month in 2019 and fell in love with it. Not only are the views spectacular but it is so comfortable and well planned. We were delighted to find it was for sale ...and the rest is history!
We hope you love staying there as much as we do. Please note that in 2024 the Greek Government has imposed a Climate Resilience Tax. This is €10 per night per booking ( not per person). This is included in the price for 2025 onwards.

Wonderful location
We loved the location of this villa. The views are stunning and so much space outside to sit in shade or sun and watch the sky and sea. Walking to the local village for coffee, cake and shopping was easy. We did not want to hire a care and contacting a local taxi company was easy on days we wanted to travel further afield. We will hopefully return 2025. Very happy place to stay.

Tranquil location, stunning views, gorgeous pool, charming & comfortable accommodation, loved it all
We absolutely loved Villa Kalograta. We had stayed in Fiscardo on 2 previous occasions and really preferred being out of town in a more rural, tranquil setting. The views are stunning, Ithaca and Lefkada in front of you. The garden is beautiful with olive trees, palms and a lemon tree. The pool was kept spotlessly clean, we really enjoyed having it all to ourselves. The house is simple but charming and we loved it, you have everything you need, air conditioning in both bedrooms, comfortable beds & pillows! We walked down to Maganos to eat several times. Our favourite restaurant was Picnic but we also had very good food at the other 2 tavernas ( much better food than we had in Fiscardo) . We walked to Fiscardo but the route was very rough and rather challenging in the August heat. We also walked to Foki which was a much better footpath ( still quite rough) through woods and a village. All the staff we met were lovely and friendly and the platter of salad, dips and fresh bread was such a lovely treat to find in the fridge on our arrival. I have nothing negative to say, we’re going to start saving for our next visit!

Paradise in Kefalonia
Everything was as described the villa was set in a quiet location in the hills with only goats passing by twice a day. The views to the coast were fantastic and the supermarket in the nearby village had everything we needed. There was a local cafe which had a great range for breakfast lunch and evening meals. Fiscardo a further ten mins away by car is a fabulous port with superb tavernas and shops and has a great buzz with yatchs mooring up every day. If you like beaches there are several within 15 mins of the villa by car. All in all a fabulous location to take a break.

Great summer holiday
Its hard to fault this property. We had a wonderful time their. Great views and a great location. Close to the lovely village of Maganos and an easy drive to Fiskardo. There was also a number of great beaches to choose within easy driving distance including Koki beach and our favourite Alaties beach. We also found Nick to be very helpful and easy to contact.I would recomend this property and we are considering returning next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful view, wonderful villa
Perfect for two and works well for four as each bedroom has its own en-suite. The different levels of terracing meant we could spread out, so never felt crowded. I particularly loved the lounger under the olive tree. The villa is really well equipped and the kitchen knives were nicely sharp ( often a failing with rentals). There was everything we needed. It’s an easy drive from here to many beaches, a great choice of places to eat, Fiscardo to watch the super yachts, and Magganos for local shops. We loved it!

Amazing views
This is a lovely place. Well kitted out and very comfy double bed. Nick owner was very helpful but in no way intrusive We had a car so were able to go to all local beaches. Our favourite were Dafnoudi and Kamilia. Nice meal at Ellie's in Fiscardo. Used a local taxi which was only 10€. Would highly recommend this place P.s I don't often fill these in!

Fabulous
The villa was perfect. We had a wonderful two weeks in this beautiful part of the island. Very quiet and relaxing. The views from the terrace are out of this world. We couldn't fault it. Asos is a beautiful village as is Fiskardo and the shops in the local village are very well stocked There are some lovely restaurants around but our favourite was Odysseas at Agia Jerusalem.

Perfect villa in beautiful surroundings
We had never been to Kefalonia before and we were so pleased we chose this location and the villa at Katsarata. The villa itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and has modern amenities. We had breakfast every day on the sunny patio with spectacular views of the sea, mountains and forests. The nearby harbour of Fiskardo is a great place to eat in the evening. We drove there most times (it takes about 10 minutes) but you can also walk on well-signposted tracks direct from the villa which took us 45 minutes each way. There are lovely beaches and other places to visit - like the castle at Assos and the nearby beach at Myrtos. Also, if you are walkers like us, there are a lot of walks to various villages and places of interest - all are very clearly marked so you can't get lost. We will certainly be booking again for next year! Gwen and Dave Sidgwick

A beautiful villa with stunning views on an unspoilt island!
Kefalonia is the most amazing island, unspoilt with breathtaking scenery - we were surprised at how stunning it was. Villa Kalograta is beautiful, very well kept and provided us with everything we needed. Abigail had bought us bread, milk and, more importantly, wine for our arrival which was most welcome! Although we didn’t need to, we felt we could contact the owners at anytime about anything and they left detailed information about the villa and the island itself. We would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful island and staying at Villa Kalograta - we had the most incredible holiday and would love to go back!
