We stayed for two weeks in mid-September to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. An excellent place to stay, large independent cottages with a great balcony and wide views West over Kefalonia. Captain Caravias was an excellent host who made us feel very welcome and has some great stories to tell. This is the best place we have stayed anywhere across the Greek islands in the last twelve years. The local beach below Stavros village was our favourite and was an easy 1 mile walk away. A car was also useful and traffic was minimal so it was a joy to get around. The figs and grapes were in season, and despite the monumental night of thunderstorms and floods in around Vathi the next day, which very quickly cleared up, we had one of the best holidays yet.

Me and my husband stayed in the cottages for 4 days. We were so amazed by the place that we wanted to stay in all the time. The view is stunning, the rooms were the cleanest rooms we’ve ever stayed in, there is basic equipment for a comfortable stay, fantastic large balcony and garden and the rooms are very beautiful. The best thing was the quietness. We couldn’t believe it was so peaceful and quiet, you could hardly hear anything. Ideal for relaxation. The swimming pool was just a few meters from the cottages, clean and with a nice view. I recommend it to all my friends and coming back definitely.

We stayed in Cavos for 6 days and it was really great. We stayed there with a friendly couple and our children enjoyed the large yard and the swimming pool. The view was stunning indeed! The price was great too.
Some small drawbacks:
– plenty of mosquitoes
– at night you could spot some rats walking around (still, this is countryside and, yes, you get rats in the countryside)

The location is convenient only if you have your own means of transportation, though.
By car, Stavros village is ~ 5 minutes and the wonderful Ag. Ioannis beach is ~10 min away.
