Description
Butterfly Meadow is a villa split into a one bedroom family apartment sleeping 4, and two spacious studios, each sleeping 2 or 3. For larger parties up to 10, it is also possible to rent the whole villa.
The villa takes its name from the abundance of Butterflys that visit the area in the summer months. We are located in the small hillside village of Ratzakli which is halfway between Katelios and Skala, on the southern end of the Greek Ionian island of Kefalonia. The Greek name for the Island is Cephalonia.
We are located in a very peaceful location, with the nearest beach just a 15 minute walk or short drive away.
Kefalonia is the largest of the six Ionian islands, in the Ionian Sea, located between the islands of Lefkada and Zakynthos across the Corinthian Gulf. It is a green mountainous island with many beaches and crystal waters. The island capital Argostoli, is a charming town where many of the islands activities are concentrated.
Kamina Beach (about 1 mile from Butterfly Meadow) is the nearest beach with acres of light sand and shallow sea, which goes on for miles. Kaminia is a natural nesting ground for Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta).
Katelios (about 1.8 miles from Butterfly Meadow) is a traditional fishing village with sea front bars and restaurants. The bars and restaurants located on the beach itself will serve excellent food and drinks to their sunloungers which are provided for free use to their customers.
Skala Beach (about 1.8 miles from Butterfly Meadow) is fringed by pine trees and stretches out as far as the eye can see, with soft white sand and bright aquamarine sea. Skala beach is one of the most spectacular on Kefalonia.
The town of Skala has many restaurants and tavernas as well as small supermarkets, gift shops, travel agents, bars, and car rental facilities. Many of these are located along Skala's main street, but do explore the side streets, as there are car hire, shops and tavernas hidden away along many of these, which are often more competitively priced.
Ratzakli is 40min from the airport. It has a local tavern in which you can sit out with the locals and enjoy the company. It is also a good place for rambling if you want to see more of the island. The locals are very friendly and will always greet you with Kaleemera, Yassass (Hello).

Ratzakli is halfway between Katelios and Skala so if travelling on the main road from the airport to Skala you'll pass through Ratzakli; then our villa is a short 450m walk from the village centre.

Nige W: (Date of stay 18 Jul 2017):-
Amazing place to stay & great size pool , apartments excellent sizes & well equipped.
A car is needed to bob about at night if you want to , otherwise speak to Sally at Sally's bar who will look after you with taxis.
The owners are on hand as & when for requirements & handy island tips to visit, also price guides so don't get had 👍.
Joan H: (Date of stay 27 Jun 2017):-
Fantastic south facing studio apartment with large veranda, immaculately clean and well equipped.
Great well maintained pool with excellent spacious patio surround.
Unbelievable views over the sea towards Zante from the apartment veranda and pool area.
Safe clean swimming beaches with Tavernas are within walking distance - walking back is obviously uphill.
We hired a small car for access to Skala where there are supermarkets, tavernas, bars, restaurants etc and more great clean swimming beaches.
The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. We really appreciated all their efforts in making our stay a great success.
Will definitely return.
