  Description

  We are Francesca and Dimitri, an elderly Greek-Italian couple living in Kefalonia.
  Dimitri is a passionate, well-known local artist who, with Francesca, built an oasis of art on this beautiful, wild, and rough island.
  Dimitri's and Francesca's 40-year experience respectively as an artist and a tour leader for Europe, make the stay here unique.
  Greek, Italian, English, and some French are spoken here and you will be welcomed with courtesy and warmth. :)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Here we speak fluent Italian, Greek, and English.
  Francesca is from Italy and speaks Italian with me. We also both speak Greek but do it less so. Francesca has also lived in the UK and Ireland for a long time. Here she taught Italian.
  I have been working as an artist for almost 40 years.
  I'd rather define myself as an alchemist because I love to give new life to discarded objects, thus creating a magic union of every little material with the universe.
  If anyone wants to express their creativity while staying here, they are welcome to use my studio.
  Francesca and I would also be happy to share our story with you.

  Help

  At our art oasis, we strive to create unforgettable experiences.
  We have some holiday studios but don't need any help as we have skilled and passionate hospitality and maintenance experts who care for everything.
  As far as our home is concerned, as we age, we may require help with some physical tasks such as carrying heavier shopping bags or materials.
  We especially love company, sometimes engaging in meaningful conversations while preparing meals and shopping for fresh, local ingredients.
  Moreover, we invite you to join us on rides as we explore the island's hidden gems, breathtaking views, and unique cultural experience

  What else ...

  Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionian Sea.
  Along its coastline lie marvelous beaches all different from one another (fine sand, pebbles, cliffs). It is adorned with picturesque villages, panoramic roads, wild landscapes, and evergreen woods that reach the sea. If you enjoy hiking, this is the perfect place to explore as it offers plenty of hiking trails and opportunities for full immersion in nature.
  
  We would be delighted to suggest some traditional tavernas, hiking tracks, and hidden gems on the island, and provide you with any assistance you require during your stay.
