Fodor's Expert Review North Point Rooms 1953
Markandonata, Fiskardo, Kefalonia, 28084, Greece Fodor's Choice
This sumptuous boutique stay in the village of Antipata, just outside Fiskado, consists of three stone cottages nestled around a walled garden bristling with lemon and lime trees. The buildings were half-ruined when genial owner Haris Tsimaras took over the land; he rebuilt them using reclaimed stone, adding a glass-fronted pool and plenty of design panache. Thick stone walls insulate the rooms from the heat of the day, hiding immaculately kept interiors. If you want your own space, a cozy duplex offers its own lofted balcony and terrace. Breakfasts are also a thing of beauty here, served on the lush garden terrace, usually with resident golden retreiver Mr. Benny snuffling in the background. A nicely wooded path (Cypress Trail) leads into town if you want to spend the shoe leather; otherwise it's an eight-minute drive. In 2019, North Point Houses opened just above Fiskardo's port, consisting of three villas gathered around a shared pool. Both are available year-round.
