Holiday Home Joleni Cottage
Wheelchair-accessible Cottage Kefalonia
Surrounded by trees, our accessible holiday home Joleni Cottage is peacefully situated on the outskirts of Keramies village, just 10 km from the capital Argostoli. Away from the hustle of tourism and yet only a few minutes away from several of Kefalonia’s most beautiful beaches, Joleni Cottage in Kefalonia is set on a 2200m² plot of land in the lush region of Keramies and Spartia. The house is located 200 metres from the street on an unpaved side road and offers tranquillity and privacy. After a long day at the beach or exploring the island, this is the perfect place to relax.
During a renovation, we designed the 100m² ground-level holiday home to allow wheelchair access for disabled guests. It is step-free throughout the house, the surrounding terraces and the parking area. This is ideal not only for guests with limited mobility but also for families with young children or guests who appreciate the convenience of a barrier-free environment.
Joleni Cottage has two bedrooms, a large bathroom, an additional WC and a kitchen with a generous dining and living area.
Within a short walking distance (5-10 minutes) in Keramies, there is a basic minimarket and the traditional taverna “Anna’s”. More restaurants can be found just outside the village and in the nearby neighbouring village Spartia which is a walk of only 15 minutes away (or a 2-minute drive). Here you will find two more minimarkets, two cafes/bars and a restaurant.
Relax on the terrace or rather under the shady oak tree?
Breakfast on the covered terrace? A glass of wine at the end of the day under the old oak tree? Or maybe you would rather watch Mount Ainos turning pink at sunset, sitting on the sun terrace? You will find your favourite place.
At Joleni Cottage you can relax and find tranquillity. There is hardly any car traffic on this side road. Occasionally you can hear goat bells. Sometimes the neighbour’s dog or cat will come by to visit.
Joleni Cottage facilities
The house features two bedrooms. One bedroom has two single beds, and an additional folding bed can be set up for an extra person. The other bedroom offers a comfortable double bed (1,60m wide) and provides access to one of the terraces. Both bedrooms are equipped with insect screens, blackout curtains and air conditioning to ensure a relaxing and uninterrupted sleep.
There is a spacious and bright bathroom with plenty of natural light. Here you find a hairdryer and clothes horse as well as a shower stool if requested.
A level-entry shower ensures easy access. A washing machine is provided in the bathroom.
In the fully equipped open-plan kitchen, you find everything you need to cook your meals.
From the living room and dining area, there are patio doors that open onto the covered terrace which is equipped with a table and chairs. A second, uncovered terrace can be accessed from one of the bedrooms. There are 4 sunbeds for a leisurely day with a good book. And finally, there is a seating area under the oak tree, providing shade at any time of the day. All three terraces are connected for wheelchair accessibility.

Nightly rates 2025
The rates for Joleni Cottage are based on a per-night basis for the entire house. Included in the rate are bed linen, towels, beach towels, use of the washing machine, air conditioning and final cleaning. For stays longer than one week, additional bed linen will be provided.
In 2024, the Greek government introduced a new climate tax, titled “sustainability fee against climate change”. For 2025, this fee has been increased to 15 Euros per night for a house of this size, payable directly by the guest upon arrival (Art.24 of Law5162/2024). To help offset this expense I have chosen not to charge a cleaning fee.
The minimum duration for a reservation is four days. The maximum occupation is five persons plus one baby. A folding bed for a fifth person can be provided in the twin bedroom, or the sofa bed can be made up in the living area.
