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).

Auntie's cottage in September 2019
Auntie's cottage was very nice in a good position with lovely views. It was very clean and well equipped.
It would have been a bit squashed with 4 adults but was perfect for the two of us.
Sophia was very helpful.

Fantastic location for a relaxing holiday
I chose this property for our family holiday based on the fantastic reviews on the website and it was exactly as described. Beautifully clean and well equipped, a lovely shady terrace to enjoy outdoor meals and an ideal location for exploring the rest of the island. Sophia was a kind and attentive host and provided plenty of helpful information about places to visit and the best tavernas! We had a lovely time and would love to come back again one day.

Beautiful view!
Sophia was an excellent host and the cottage was wonderful! We loved the location and ease on getting to other areas of the island. It was so quiet and peaceful and loved the authentic feel of the home. There is plenty of space and well stocked. Sophia provides an awesome list of things to do and place to eat and see. Our family had a wonderful time. We will be back! Highly recommend!

Glorious kefalonia
Auntie’s Cottage, named for a real Aunt, is one of the best kept and prepared houses I have stayed at in many years of holiday renting. From a magnificent view from the beautiful terrace, to the needles and thread in the drawer of a cabinet, all you need to prepare real meals, and a plentiful supply of fresh linen and towels, it is like being at home—yet of course you aren’t, you are in this lovely village, cradled by hills and with a view of the Ionian sea. Sophia was more than helpful: she made us feel at home, and sent delightful messages as well as leaving us everything necessary to make a good breakfast following our (late evening) arrival. We thoroughlybrecommend the cottage and Sophia.

Enjoyable stay in lovely traditional-style cottage.
We had a relaxing and very enjoyable stay at Aunties Cottage. It is a lovely, spotlessly clean, well equipped and maintained cottage near the centre of the village. It was a joy to sit on the shady terrace looking out to Agia Efimia and the sea. Sophia, the owner, is very helpful and friendly, without being intrusive, and invites suggestions for any possible improvements, though she seems to have thought of most things. The welcome pack - including eggs, fruit, bread, wine - was much appreciated. Makriotika is generally quiet, but there is some life in the evenings around the two tavernas in the nearby square. It is only about 5 minutes to the pleasant seaside village of Agia Efimia, which has all necessary facilities, including a number of restaurants, and is a good base for visiting the northern and central areas of Kefalonia.

The house is delightful- a real Greek cottage beautifully renovated in traditional style with much attention to detail. Our hostess Sophia could not have been more helpful.
