  Description

  We are Francesca and Dimitri, an elderly Greek-Italian couple. Together we run the holiday studios.
  
  Dimitri is a passionate well known local artist and together we built an oasis of Art on the beautiful, wild and rough island of Kefalonia. The “know how” acquired by Dimitri, the artist, and Francesca, former tour leader for Europe, make the holiday here unique.
  
  Greek, Italian, English and French are spoken here and you will be welcomed with courtesy and warmth. :)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Here we speak many different languages! Italian, Greek, English. Apart from languages, we would be happy to exchange Dimitri's artistic experience.
  
  I am from Italy and speak Italian with my Greek husband Dimitri. We also both speak Greek, but do it less so. If you are interested in one of those two cultures or languages, we would be happy to exchange with you :). I have also been living in the UK and Ireland for a long time and taught Italian. Dimitri has been working as an artist for more than 30 years. Passionate about music, colors and the union of every little material with the universe, he would be happy to share his story and view on arts.

  Help

  We work on maintaining and improving every day with passion and effort. Since we are not the youngest anymore, we need some help with the heavier tasks. This includes for example the maintenance of the property such as repairing the street, cementing some places or helping around the house with different tasks. At times we may need some help related to digital marketing & technology as well.

  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 and grottos). The island is studded with pretty villages, panoramic roads, wild landscapes and evergreen woods reaching down to the sea. Hiking possibilities and full immersion in nature... a wild rough island to explore!
  
  We will be happy to suggest you traditional tavernas, hidden gems and to provide you with any help during your stay on the island :)
