Auntie’s Cottage is a welcoming homely retreat located within the picturesque mountain village of Makriotika, on the slopes of the mountain ‘Agia Dynati’, offering a quiet stay in a lovely rural setting - away from it all but easy to reach places of interest - and the opportunity for you to experience the serene greek rural life. Because of its location the cottage overlooks the valley of Pylaros and the garden terrace boasts stunning views across the beautiful valley and the sea beyond. It is ideally based for those who love nature and hiking as they will discover beautiful walking trails throughout the surrounding small villages and mountains in the valley. The beautifully well kept outside area provides a secluded setting for lazy days. Within a short walking distance (approx. 130m.) you will find Makriotika village square with a mini market, a cafe or indulge in traditional dishes at the local taverna. Supermarket, bakery and gas station can be found within approximately 1 km. The quaint village of Agia Efimia, a 5 minute drive, offers all amenities from supermarkets, bars, cafes and tavernas to atm machine, pharmacy, tourist information and car/motorbike/motorboat rental places. There are numerous beautiful pebble coves for you to enjoy your swim and scuba diving lessons can be booked. Other outdoor activities, such as horseback riding & water skiing are provided in the area. Within approx. a 7 minute drive you reach the amazing Myrtos beach famed for the beauty of its blue water (voted one of the top ten beaches in the world). Makriotika and "Auntie’s Cottage" are an ideal base for exploring Kefalonia. The village itself is in a great central location regarding distances, giving easy access to all areas of the island, especially the northern part of the island (Agia Efimia, Sami, Assos, Fiscardo, Myrtos beach).

We stayed for three weeks in this lovely house in Makriotika and had a wonderful time. The house is well equipped and has a beautiful terrace with views of the mountains and, in the distance, Agia Efimia and the sea. Having breakfast under the old olive tree was a highlight, and the small courtyard with its bougainvillea is another great place to relax.Sophia, our host, was extremely kind and helpful. Before our late arrival, she had thoughtfully prepared the house with bread, water, olives, beer, and local wine – a very welcoming gesture.The location is ideal: quiet and authentic, with a small supermarket in the village, a nice taverna just 100 meters away, and two more restaurants within walking distance. From here, you can also reach all parts of the island quickly by car.We can wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and would love to return.

If you are looking for an authentic Greek stay, be sure to try aunties cottage. Located in a centrally located mountain village with a local busy taverna and butcher and the pleasant town of Agia Effimia nearby. The cottage is really fully equipped and has plenty of space inside and outside. The terrace has sun and shade and a beautiful view over the valley with the sea in the distance. Do not expect 5 star modern glossy luxury, but instead opt for warmth, cosiness and the feeling of coming home in a place where you do not have to lock the door. A car is necessary, but you can park it in the spacious parking space. Sophia is very helpful and her tips took us all over the island. Thanks again Sophia!
