Villa Ulysses Overview
Villa Ulysses is set in a lovely, totally enclosed, mature garden in a fantastic location just a short walk from the glorious Foki beach and taverna. Fiskardo itself is just 1.5 kilometres away so within walking distance for those who are reasonably fit. With superb coastal views and backed by wooded hillsides Ulysses is a real gem of a house in this very sought after location.
Off street parking leads to a flight of steps up to the pool area and then to the villa itself, with the main living areas on the raised ground floor to benefit from the views. Traditional in style the villa is comfortable and cosy with a mixture of contemporary and antique furnishings reminiscent of the French country style. Bedrooms are set out over two levels with a good choice of terraces and balconies from which to enjoy the views. The pool is set into a secluded terrace surrounded by flower beds and shrubs, overlooking the coast and a covered barbecue area is situated to the rear of the house with access via a few steps to the kitchen.
This is an ideal base for a relaxing stay in this particularly part of Kefalonia with all the facilities of cosmopolitan Fiskardo so close to hand.

Resort Description
Fiscardo, an utterly idyllic harbour village located in the north of the island simply oozes charm and is particularly popular with discerning travellers seeking a quiet, relaxing holiday in a picture postcard setting.
The neighbouring hamlets and villages (Vassiliki, Maganos and Antipata to name but a few) surrounding Fiscardo offer fabulous views of the magical and Mythical Ithaca, literally a hop, skip & jump away, and along with the numerous idyllic little coves scattered around this region, one can easily understand why this magnetic destination attracts a ridiculously high number of repeat guests each year. The exquisite seaside village of Assos can also be found nearby, yet another of the Erissos peninsulas charming and iconic gems. Its jumble of tiny houses with their colourful bougainvillea clad façades, are a photographers dream and there are spectacular views from its elevated Venetian castle, well worth the scenic 45 minute stroll!
As for Fiscardo itself, Pastel painted harbour front cottages with their traditional brightly coloured shutters reveal picture-postcard views of the harbour and Ithaca beyond. This really is an amazing place to indulge in a spot of people watching, as the harbour front café’s and restaurants are regularly filled with celebrities who frequently hop over on their little tender boats from their vast and insanely expensive yachts and motor cruisers.

We loved the views from the villa and there was plenty of room with loads of different seating areas. The pool was great.

Really beautiful location and amazing view from the balcony, had an extremely relaxing week with the family. You do need a car and was a bit worried about the drive to Fiskardo as I had heard stories about the windy cliff side route, however we found it really easy and the directions we received were perfect. I could give a couple of niggles but they would sound ridiculous, overall it was fabulous.

Great size and overall great quality Villa. Been to many places and countries and this Villa provided the best view I have ever experienced, stunning place to wake up in the morning. Car is recommended but found driving very easy as the roads are very quiet. If we had any Criticisms they would be very very minor and certainly didn’t spoil our holiday. Thank you, great week !! X

A perfect base for exploring the North of the island. Lovely spacious rooms, and great views from the top balcony. The only thing it lacked was some homely touches to make you feel welcome, e.g. salt, pepper, oil etc. Not expecting it all, but it clearly felt as though we were the first guests of the year.

A lovely villa and perfect for our family holiday- given that we had unseasonably wet weather while we were there, we would have appreciated a better equipped kitchen for when we had to cook at home because of the torrential rain!
