Hidden Gem is a stunning and authentic village house nestled in the enchanting landscapes of Kefalonia (Cephalonia). This charming home is the ideal retreat for families and groups of friends seeking an unforgettable experience. Immerse yourself in the local way of life while enjoying the convenience of its strategic location, offering easy exploration of the beautiful Greek island.

Only 4km away lies Agia Efimia, a delightful town waiting to be discovered. A short drive will take you to marvelous destinations such as the renowned Myrtos beach, the mystical Mellisani Cave, the fascinating Drogarati Cave, and the charming town of Sami, among other treasures that await your exploration. A helpful map of nearby attractions can be found below.

The entire house was hand-built by my father after the devastating earthquake of 1953 and stands as a testament to unwavering craftsmanship and relentless dedication. His legacy remains engraved on the top of the fireplace, preserving a piece of history within the walls. Unique outside doors add to the house’s character, while the floor boasts the intricate artistry of handmade cypress timber. Adding to the allure, some of the beds are antiques, inviting you to rest upon the layers of time and heritage. The house has large, airy rooms, plenty of parking, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. But most importantly, it is a place where you can breathe peace and harmony.

Escape to the Hidden Gem, where tradition, history, and natural beauty come together to offer an unforgettable journey through Kefalonia.

  • Everything was great! The house is very clean, fully equipped, the kitchen has everything you need and even more. A great place to stay, peaceful and quiet, close to Myrthos beach and other stunning beaches. The hosts were very kind and helpful, providing tips about places to visit, eat or were to buy local products.

    I, my husband and our child had a great holiday at the Hidden Gem accomodation on Kefalonia Island. Hidden Gem is one of the best accomodation we ever had. We loved everything: the intimacy, the location, the atmosphere of an old cottage house with all the modern technology you need. The house is very clean and has everything you need. A store and bakery are close and taverns with good food with good prices are close: Myrtos , Alexandros, Black Seep. The communication with Rea, the owner, is excellent. She did everything to please our requests. We saw 14 beaches in 9 days and the marvelous Myrtos for many times, because is very close, max 10 minutes to drive. The location is also close to other amazing beaches near Zola: Kiriakki, Voula, Fteri, about 15 minutes. You can reach easily the Melissani Cave that is close to Antisamos Beach. Thank you very much! We hope to come back soon because there are more to discover on Kefalonia. Hidden Gem was a beautiful surprise for us and we hope more people will find it as nice as us! Bye! bye!

  • Hidden Gem is the perfect location on Kefalonia. As for me, it was the 6-th year in a row to visit Kefalonia and the second time at Hidden Gem, we couldn't ask for a better place to stay that is closer to the most famous Myrtos beach. The kitchen is fully equipped with all needed stuff. There is a wonderfull yard with lemons tree, apricots tree and oranges tree. There is a taverna just about 30 m from the house called "The black sheep" where local delicaties is served. Also, Agia Efimia is very close (about 3 km) from the house, where you will find more tavernas and places to eat. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars and definetly reccomend Hidden Gem

  • We booked Hidden Gem for a family holiday in Kefalonia and could not be happier! The house is big, clean and very comfortable. The location is very convenient if you want to see the entire island by car. The owners organised a car for us (reliable Fiat) and recommended places for us to visit. If you are visiting with your family then I highly recommend this holiday house, you won't be disappointed!

    Words cannot describe how happy my family and I were with our stay at Hidden Gem Kefalonia. The owner's went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and were very responsive with all our needs. The house is very big and spacious and perfect for families. The location is fantastic too but you will need to hire a car to get around the island. The owner's helped us hire a brand new car for cheap so we were very happy about that. Thanks again! We will be back!

    The place is really great! There are many positive reviews here and we totally agree with them. The house is big enough (we were 4 + 1 baby), we liked all the details. You have everything you might need. The location is very relaxed and close enough to restaurants, shops, nice beaches and some bigger towns. You can sit in the garden and enjoy the warm nights. Very polite owner. We would definitely come back!
