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 the renovation in 2018, 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 mobility problems 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. Zhe nearest restaurant is situated just outside the village. The nearby village Spartia is a walk of only 15 minutes away (or a 2-minute drive) where 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.

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 to each other for wheelchair accessibility.
