Very enjoyable time at Stella cottage. It was end of season and quiet.

Stella Cottage was the best location ever with endless comings and goings of yachts which we watched from the comfort of our verandah. Swimming from the rocks a few steps away was an added bonus.

My first time to Kefalonia and what a treat! This cottage and the town have blown me away. All the restaurants are fantastic. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Tina for all her kindness and support during my first solo holiday on the beautiful island of Kefalonia. Your thoughtful check-ins, organised beach day, and wonderful dinner with you and your (legend!) husband Gary made my stay truly unforgettable.

What a little gem Stella Cottage is! A real home from home, beautiful location with a terrace giving stunning views across the ocean watching the world go by. The cottage was very comfortable, cute and quirky and felt very authentic. Tina (our Simpson rep) met us at the airport and popped in to see us the morning after arrival, she gave lots of good advice and tips for our holiday without taking up too much of our time. She was very knowledgeable of the area and very approachable.

What a gorgeous view to wake up to each morning! We shall miss the sound of the sea on the doorstep. We’ve enjoyed watching (through the binoculars!) all the action in front of us – looking up the super yachts and their weekly chartering prices!!
We have simply kicked back this week and enjoyed the delights of Fiscardo, Foki Beach and Emblissi Beach. All the restaurants we’ve tried have been excellent. Would recommend Fiscardo Daily Cruises as a wonderful day out in a range of places and in Ithica. If you’re a longer distance swimmer – watch out for the jellyfish – a few nasty stings! If you’re a runner, a gentle jog to Emblissi and back + Foki beaches is a nice start to the day.
Thank you to Tina for all her help and advice and Adonis for his lovely canary song!

A lovely week in Fiscardo , Kefalonia. Our accommodation ( Stella Cottage ) was very well equipped and comfortable , with fabulous panoramic views from the private verandah.
A lot of good restaurants just 10 minutes walk away in Fiscardo harbour.
All communications with Simpson Travel went well and our concierge Tina was excellent , very helpful , friendly and a source of much useful information.

A wonderful place to relax in a perfect location... and watch the boats.
Not just the fantastic view, but 15 mins walk to Fiskardo with a choice of many good tavernas and only 10 mins walk to Foki beach with shade from olive trees and a friendly family taverna open 10–5.
Tina was excellent in guiding us and helping me source items for my special diet – thank you.
The covered terrace was a huge bonus for shade at the beginning of our week and shelter from the torrential rain at the end!
We appreciated the very comfortable bed and the air con which we had to use to keep us warm one cool evening!!
The food delivery was also an asset as we had no car.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We've had a lovely week here in Fiskardo, all very relaxing and peaceful.
Stella Cottage is a very comfortable and well appointed holiday home and we've spent hours watching the world go by from the terrace – what a view!
Went to 3 beaches for swimming – Emplisi, Jerusalem & Foki. Foki our favourite with its natural shade, but the taverna at Jerusalem has excellent food.
We tried most of the restaurants around Fiskardo harbour. All pretty good.
So a big thank you to Antonis for his very friendly and informative welcome, much appreciated and to Tina for lots of guidance and excellent communications throughout our stay.

We had a week at Stella Cottage in early October. Your support on arrival was what we had become used to - a rep at the airport, a smooth transfer and then a welcome from the owner. Karen visited us the next morning and gave us a lot of tips and information. She also brought a birthday card and present for my wife, which was a lovely thought. We acted on two of her suggestions which allowed us to see a lot of the island. Where Karen became a lifesaver was on the last day when it became apparent that our flight home was severely delayed but no information was forthcoming from the airline or the airport. She kept in touch by phone and kept us as informed as she could do. This was in marked contrast to the travel company who were providing the flight. Karen even checked that we had made it back to the UK. She has also been a source of valuable information to allow us to pick our next property with you. We cannot thank her enough.

Stella Cottage was everything we had hoped for. Charming little cottage, brilliantly situated just a 10min stroll from Fiskado harbour along the beautiful coast road. The large shaded veranda with table and chairs and sun loungers gives the opportunity for some amazing boat spotting, kept us entertained for hours!

A very relaxing week watching the world go by. Fiskardo harbour is within easy walking distance with so many cafes/restaurants you are spoilt for choice. Stella cottage has all you require and help at hand if necessary

We very much enjoyed our week at Stella Cottage. It was comfortable and everything we required was there. Perfect quiet situation, sitting on the terrace watching boats go by on the sea was very relaxing. Stony beach for a swim 10 minute walk (take beach shoes for bumpy ground in sea). Shops and excellent tavernas also 10 min walk away. We didn’t feel the need for a car and did a couple of long walks from the door.

The best feature of this accommodation is the large balcony with table, chairs and sun beds with the most amazing view out to the sea.

This was our second visit to Fiskardo and to Stella Cottage. Our 30th anniversary in 2013 and then to celebrate our 40th this year. It was fantastic the first time and just as fantastic the second!! A beautiful cottage for two walking distance to the beach restaurants and shops so no need for hire car. Lots of walks to historical features and to local beaches.

Our second visit – 10-year gap! A beautiful relaxing week and just as wonderful as before with plenty of familiar faces. Some lovely meals out and all great. So lovely to be back and with Simpson Travel.

We thought the accommodation was much better that presented on the website. It had bags of character , more space than expected and fantastic views. Excellent swimming on your doorstep and the welcome pack was very comprehensive and well thought out. Cannot recommend the local rep, John highly enough. Personable, welcoming, knowledgeable plus delivering first class, rapid service, along with local tips and information without being intrusive. Well done John!

The cottage is well equipped with everything you could need and with a stunning view. We spent many hours watching the comings and goings of yachts and the local cats! We ate at different restaurants every night and was not in the least disappointed – food and service were great. We enjoyed our stay.

A car free holiday isn’t always easy but Fiskardo provided all we needed on our doorstep. Going for a dip in the sea down the steps was a delight along with enjoying the views at the lighthouse and Foki beach. Don’t miss a day on your own small boat. Easy to book with Regina at the far side on the way to the lighthouse.

Stella cottage is very charming and such a great location with wonderful views. We had a wonderful relaxed holiday and would not hesitate to return. My first holiday with Simpson and was not disappointed after reading such great reviews.

After years of holidaying all over Greece and its islands on botanical and walking tours, we decided it was time for us to seek a different kind of break! Stella Cottage is just what we were looking for with its magnificent views and location for tavernas, shops and swimming. It is perfect for us. Both Andonis, our hosts, and Simpson Travel looked after us well. Stella is now high on our list for a return visit.

Excellent holiday. Very smooth transfer from the airport to Stella Cottage, with a very friendly taxi driver. Helpful and organised reps at the airport. Laura was very good, friendly, welcoming and with some good tips. The welcome pack did the job and informational material in the house about the area, etc. was useful. The house is delightful, with a fantastic location and views. Clean and well looked after. Another quality job from Simpson.

Stella Cottage is a fantastic villa and we had a truly memorable holiday. Simpson Travel exceeded all expectations for service both at home and abroad. We even had a birthday cake from the lovely representative. We cannot recommend the company highly enough. Thank you.

We had a superb holiday; there was absolutely nothing we could fault. Simpson Travel were the consummate professionals throughout. We would not hesitate to recommend them. What you see and read in the marketing material is exactly what you get. There were no misleading photos or messages. We will definitely be booking with Simpson Travel again.

Stella Cottage has a captivating view from its terrace and is in a wonderful location - turn right for a short walk to the beach, or turn left for a similarly short walk into the main harbour area and all the restaurants of Fiskardo. Fiskardo itself really is a most beautiful area, perfect for a relaxed getaway, which was exactly what we had hoped for. We will be back!

Had a fabulous holiday thanks to Simpson Travel. Resort rep, Laura, couldn't have been more helpful, excellent driver for the transfers and the villa was first class. Will definitely recommend and will use Simpson Travel again.

At Stella Cottage we found all the ingredients for a truly relaxing and peaceful holiday. We loved swimming from the rocks just below the villa and visits to nearby Foki beach with its crystal clear water and welcome shade from olive trees. We also discovered other unspoiled and quiet beaches such as Kamila beach – just a pleasant walk away. The highlight of our stay had to be the beautiful view from the balcony across the bay to the old lighthouse and mountains beyond. Simple pleasures included a daily walk to collect freshly baked bread and cakes from the Old Bakery and most evenings wandering into Fiskardo to eat at one of the excellent waterfront tavernas. Wherever we went we found a warm welcome, great food and service. Many thanks to Laura, our local representative, and the Simpson Travel team for yet another memorable holiday!

Stella Cottage is excellently located and we enjoyed sitting on the terrace looking at the view and watching the incredible yachts come and go. It's a short walk to Foki beach, which was lovely, and the beach taverna there is excellent. Fiskardo, also a short walk away, is a beautiful village with many good restaurants and cafés/bars. Overall we had a lovely week in the cottage. The Simpson Travel rep, Laura, was friendly and helpful. We have travelled with Simpson Travel many times and have never been disappointed.

The great thing about Simpson Travel is that they are with you all the way. And yet it is not in an intrusive way. Just the right amount of support, friendliness and help. Nothing is too much trouble. In fact the service is truly perfect.

I have to say that Simpson Travel provided us with the best holiday experience we have ever encountered. From the incredible service from the booking team down to the local Simpson Travel representatives, the efficiency and support during our last minute booking and the quality and location of the accommodation we could find no fault. I know that Simpson Travel will be our first choice when booking our next holiday. Thank you to everyone at Simpson Travel for making our week away truly magical and one that we will never forget.

We have just spent a very relaxing, chilled out week in Stella Cottage in Kefalonia. The view was wonderful which made it very tempting to stay put on the terrace watching the super yachts sailing in and out of Fiskardo Harbour. This was our third visit to Fiskardo, therefore we did not bother with a car this time. There are plenty of restaurants/tavernas within walking distance and we had already explored the island on our previous visits. We did, however, walk to unspoilt Foki beach, to the deserted village near Antepata and to the lighthouse which we could see from our terrace on the other side of the bay. Swimming was also possible from the rocks just below Stella Cottage. The weather and location were truly perfect. We are looking forward to our next Simpson Travel holiday!

We usually travel independently but this time round we just didn't have the time to put it all together so this is where Simpson Travel stepped in. Really can't recommend them highly enough, made the whole trip a joy, hassle-free.
