Kioni House | Zaros House. Two bed traditional renovated house with sea views in Kioni.

2 Bedroom House in Kioni, Ithaca

Located within 5 mins walk to the gorgeously quaint harbour village of Kioni, with its traditional restaurants attracting the many yachts, this house offers a tranquil and scenic Ionian "get away".
The garden, with its 3 tiered terraces, is set within former olive groves, provides a stunning panoramic view across the sea to the windmills that characterise the entrance to the bay.
The sea, and its pleasantly shaded coves, is within a couple of minutes walk affording the chance to swim and sunbathe whilst coming and going back to the house as one pleases.
The upstairs consists of a double bedroom, shower and bathroom, open plan kitchen / living room. Tall French doors open onto a balcony with its sea view.
There is a separate double bed annex down below with its own bathroom which opens up onto its own sitting out area again looking over the bay.
The house is well furnished with washing machine, fridge and cooker. We had a new outside dining table made last year by the local carpenter which we keep on the first terrace where we tend to BBQ.
The garden stretches back some 100 metres to natural olive groves where the chime of goat bells can often be heard in the distance.
Vathi, the capitol, is a 45 min drive away. Stavros, a pretty hillside village from where one can explore Homer's Odyssey, is 20 mins away whilst Frikes, another small fishing village also popular with yachties, is 10 mins by car.
There are many hillside walks nearby which are particularly stunning in the spring.
The house is primarily for our own use so it is well stocked with everything you will need to enjoy all the delights that Kioni has to offer.
Shops and Restaurants:
The harbour area includes a number of waterside taverna style restaurants. There is a bakery and a great little supermarket which serves the many yachts and seems to sell everything. There is a "veg van" that turns up every morning and there is a lovely practice where a baker will do the rounds in a van dropping loaves off at houses which have left out a shopping bag (with €1.10). There are two super relaxed and sociable bars which play soft low key music which provide good starting and finishing points before and after dinner.
Travel Arrangements:
There are two main options for travelling to Kioni. 1) Fly to Kefalonia, which is served by a number of UK airports and airlines (Monarch, Norwegian Air, Ryanair, EasyJet etc), where one can pick up a rental car or arrange a taxi to travel to Sami (takes 45 mins) from where two daily car ferries take the short hop across to Pisaetos, Ithaca. Kioni is about 45 mins away from Pisaetos. 2) Fly to Preveza from where one can rent a car or take a taxi (€60) to Nidri, Levkada from where a daily car ferry connects with Frikes, Ithaca. Frikes is just 10 mins away by car to Kioni.
About the Owners:
We bought the house in 2014 from the most charming couple who had beautifully and sympathetically renovated the house whilst developing and nurturing the terraced garden. We plan to spend more time in Kioni, when work allows, but in the meantime we are pleased to share the house with like minded guests so supporting the local shop and restaurants.
Cleaning:
You should allow €75 for cleaning, which we ask you leave out in cash for our next door neighbor, who does the cleaning.

Summary: Really enjoyed our stay at Zaros House, it is every bit as lovely as the photos and the perfect spot - half way between Kioni and the delightful Cantina at 'Cemetary Bay'!

Dee J. Jul 20, 2023 06:00:07 AM

Summary: Perfect for two….all the living is done on one level but for sun lovers there are 3 different levels to choose from all with stunning views to Kioni harbour to the west and the 3 windmills to the east. The harbour is a gentle 15 minute stroll with Kantina beach about the same via a magical pathway through the woods. We swam there early every morning and had the place to ourselves! We loved our stay. Thanks Andy xx

Penny U. Oct 5, 2022 06:00:03 AM

Summary: We had a fantastic time at Zaros House. It had everything we needed and also so much outdoor space. The location is a 5-10 minute walk into Kioni which is stunning. Highly recommend the Kantina Beach cafe - perfect location for a long lunch!

Julie L. Sep 23, 2022 06:00:03 AM

Summary: Very straightforward booking, loved Ithaca, beautiful beach within walking distance. All-round great holiday

Jill L. Jul 18, 2022 06:00:06 AM

Summary: We spent a lovely relaxing week at Zaros House, the property was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and both the higher terraces looking at the view and watching the yachts come and go, my husband loved eating the figs from the fig tree. It’s an easy walk to beaches and the town. Demetri was very helpful on arrival and throughout our stay. We left our hire car in the free town car park as parking outside the house was a little restricted, but that was absolutely fine. Would highly recommend.

Beryl S. Jun 14, 2022 06:00:04 AM

Summary: We loved our holiday stay in this house - it had everything we needed and lots of levels to sit out and enjoy the views and garden. The village was very quiet and low key - an easy stroll down to the tavernas. Lots of accessibility for swimming - most of the time we had the small beaches to ourselves. Will certainly return!

Summary: We are two well travelled 50-something friends who wanted a peaceful break & found it in this nicely located property in the very pretty village of Kioni. Although only a 5 mins or so walk down a slight hill to the main harbour area, it was delightfully silent - all we could hear at night was the faint lapping of waves & the faint tinkle of goat bells. We both slept like logs! The property has two lovely terraces & two balconies to sit out on. Our favourite was the top terrace - comfy seats, an unhindered view & beautifully peaceful. Gorgeous place to watch the sun rise over the old windmills. The main living area contains the well equipped kitchen & a very comfy couch (plus a dining table & chairs but there is a lovely table & chairs on one of the terraces, that’s where you’ll want to have your breakfast). The two french windows open from the living area onto a sizeable balcony, which again has comfy chairs & is private. The main bedroom is a good size with twin beds bolted together to form a large double. There was ample clothes space. Another set of French windows leads out into a little courtyard with potted plants, nice to take a power snooze with these doors open with the breeze wafting in. The main bathroom was a decent size with a large shower cubicle. The washing machine is in there, which is normal in Greece & not intrusive. The little extra room downstairs was fine for one person but think two adults may struggle. There are separate twin beds & a wet room shower / loo (no shower cubicle but again, normal for Greece & absolutely fine). This room has its own front door & little terrace with table & chairs. The lay out was perfect for us as two friends who wanted a bedroom each (extra bathroom also a bonus). My friend was very comfy in the smaller room. There was good air con in both bedrooms &, if the bedroom door was left open, it did cool the living room. All in all, we had a very comfy stay. Andrew the owner was communicative & responsive. The property is very much his family’s second home & it felt nice & homey. Finally, its location is perfect for Cemetery Beach, a short donkey trail walk away & our cove of choice :-) If your after comfy peace and quite with an exceptional view, this is the place. NB: The cyclone hit the day we checked out & we were stranded on Ithaca for a couple of days. Had to stay near port but if we could’ve got back to Andrews, we would’ve!

Summary: Our second stay in Andrew’s beautiful house. Kioni is heaven on earth and we had fun exploring in the island in our hire car. A perfect escape from the crazy realities of 2020!

Diane H. Sep 28, 2019 06:44:33 AM

Summary: We had a great few days in Kioni. The house is lovely & spacious, with great outdoor spaces as well (downstairs room quite small for 2 adults). The house was well stocked with all essentials and has a great view of the small harbour. Kioni is very nice, would particularly recommend the bar Spinolas? as you walk to harbour from the house (great atmosphere and music) and Lizzies restaurant(far end of harbour), where the food was way above that of a traditional greek holiday resort restaurant. Unfortunately my wife became ill, whilst away, but we still enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Juliet B. Aug 23, 2019 02:30:39 AM

Summary: We had the most wonderful, relaxing week at this beautiful home. The location is ideal - amazing, impossible-to-tear-yourself-away-from views but only a short stroll into Kioni, not to mention the beautiful swimming at the nearby beaches. The house has everything you could need, the bed is super comfy, and the two terraces are ideal for eating, drinking Metaxa, and watching the boats come and go. We were very pleased to have a car to do some exploring and particularly enjoyed a day on Agios Ioannis beach. The walk out to the three mills is also well worth it. Thank you so much for the chance to stay in this little corner of paradise. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
