Felix Residence & Lucia Simona Villas
Felix Residence & Lucia Simona Villas"Unbelievable stay. One of the most scenic places on our entire trip. Our room which was of good size and adequate amenities had a patio that overlooked the pool, cypress trees, and the ocean. It was like being at an Italian villa waking up to that view every morning. The pool was also an incredible addition to the stay. The staff was so nice and helpful with everything. The place has a couple quirks to be mindful of. Parking is tight and limited so be flexible if you're coming in late in the...

Top Kefalonia Hotel Reviews
Odyssey Boutique Hotel
"This was a delightful little boutique. The views are outstanding and every room has the same one. Dramatic ocean/cliff views. Didn't get to use the pool but it looked very nice -- the Med was just so close that was chose it over the pool. Restaurant was surprisingly good-- some of the better food we had in Greece actually. Only downside was the gym, which was super small and cost 5Euro per use. Otherwise, I was really impressed by the staff who were super friendly and helpful with booking rental cars, taxis, and general advice. Would stay again!"
