    Beautiful family home with a unique atmosphere of the past without feeling like a museum. Bedrooms were full of old world charm and B&W photographs. The air con was amazing on a blistering trip in August. So close to all the facilities of Vathy.

    The host was flexible with the time of our arrival which was good as we weren't sure of the ferry times at the time of booking. We were met and shown around the property which is beautiful and exactly what you would envisage of a Greek property. A...

    The property was clean and spacious - and just a little different ( in a good way). The garden was special- and the host was exceptional! Nothing was too much trouble!

    A beautiful house with a lot of character, pretty old fashioned furniture, well-equipped. Just a couple of minutes walk to the centre of Vathy, but in a peaceful area. Would stay there again.

  • Hi 👋 Many years ago, we used to fly to kefalonia and take the ferry to Vathy . Does this ferry still run ? Di

    Yes! There are 3 Ferries from Kefalonia to Ithaca now. The 2 of them depart early in the morning and the other one in the afternoon.

  • Hi, how would I get from Pisaetos Ferry Port to your accomodation, and what cost. Regards. Gina

    Hello there! You could take a taxi from Pisw Aetos to Vathy, it costs about 15 euros. During high season it is better to book the taxi. If you do not book it, you could find yourself waiting at the port for a long time until other taxis return.

Bearing the name of Ulysses’ mother –the legendary ingenious hero from Homer’s major epic poem– “Anticlea Residence” is located at 13 Odisseos Street in Vathi, capital of the Ionian island of Ithaca. A beautiful, recently renovated, traditional building of the 1930’s – representative sample of the early 20th century Ionian architectural style and aesthetics – “Anticlea Residence” has been host to numerous eminent cultural and political figures, such as the iconic Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis and the Greek-French philosopher, social theorist and psychoanalyst, Cornelius Castoriadis. Warm and unpretentious, with bright white walls, large blue windows, black iron fences elaborately crafted with intricate patterns and cast iron beds with new anatomic mattresses, the residence exudes grace, intimacy, cleanness and simplicity. These elements are ideally highlighted by the house’s 672 square meter verdant garden filled with trees laden with fruits, gorgeous fragrant blooms, rich green bushes and a whole array of different kinds of wild herbs beautifully arranged in rockeries by the landlady, Mrs Thelxinoe.

It has 3.75 m. high white ceilings , white interior windows with embroidered curtains, old wooden floors and carved wooden furniture of 1930’s, all renovated one by one with love by the owners. "Anticlea II" has equally traditional interior decoration, 2 bedrooms, 2 powerful Mitsubishi air conditioners, kitchen with glass ceramic hobs and refrigerator, 2 powerful and quiet ceiling-fans, flat screen TV, living room and bathroom. Both Anticlea I and II have organic and anatomic "Dunlopillo" mattresses as well as free Wi-Fi in all areas.
The house is 300 meters from the sea and the city’s main square, 100 meters from the nearest supermarket, 1.5 km from the beach of Loutsa, 2 km from the beach of Sarakiniko, 3 km from the beach of Filiatro and and another 3 km from the beach of Deksa.
