  • Hi, I'm planning on working remotely. How good is the Internet? Are you able to do Zoom/ Team calls to other countries?

    Internet speeds on the island can be very slow, which may not suit remote working. There is 4G in Metaxata as backup.

Thank you for looking at our summer house, Xarafailte located in Metaxata. We moved to Kefalonia in 2017and built the summer house in the grounds of our villa. Prior to moving, we visited Kefalonia twice yearly for the previous 10 years, we loved the relaxed way of life, the hospitality of the Greeks, the sunshine and all that Kefalonia has to offer. Mountains, valleys, walks, lakes, beaches, bygone villages, traditions. We thought it would be lovely to share our Kefalonia experience and look forward to welcoming our guests.
Xarafailte is located in a semi rural location on the edge of Metaxata Village approx 8 KM from the airport. You can walk to the blue flag Avithos beach in about 30-40 minutes or 10 minute drive. Many beaches can be found within a 10-15 minute drive. About a 5 minute drive away is the castle which has fabulous far reaching views and the superb Kastro Cafe located at the castle entrance is a great place for a meal, snack and delicious cakes....all homemade. The village has a traditional Slouvaki grill taverna within walking distance and many restaurants/tavernas with a 5-10 minute drive. The nearest supermarket is 8 minutes drive away. Argostoli, the capital is 9 KM distant.
