Sotiris Apartments
Sotiris Apartments"Good location (very close to Ammes beach, which is a fantastic blue flag beach), many amenities (rooms had functioning TV & AC, there were also 3 pools available). Nevertheless the wifi did not work very well-you had to walk and go to the bar to be able to send an email-it is the only weak spot of the property."

Top Kefalonia Hotel Reviews
Thalassa Boutique Hotel - Adults Only
"We had a wonderful stay, with amazing views across the island that made the experience truly memorable. Our room was tucked away in a lovely, secluded spot with beautiful garden views, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly and accommodating, always willing to assist and ensure we had an enjoyable stay. Although the location was a little out of the way, it was only a short taxi ride of approximately โฌ9 into Argostoli town, where we found an excellent array of restaurants, cafรฉs and shopping options. Even late in the summer season, the town still had plenty to offer, with a lovely atmosphere and lots of choice for dining and exploring. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the beautiful surroundings, attentive staff and convenient access to Argostoli. A lovely place to stay while exploring Kefalonia!"
Meliti Waterfront Suites
"This was one of our favourite hotels not only in Greece, but Europe. This is because of the fantastic manager Vasilis. He has great staff, the rooms are large, & well appointed. We were really impressed with the amenities & the sound of the waves at night. There's also a couple of great restaurants & bakeries near by. We highly recommend staying here."

F ZEEN KEFALONIA - Adults Only
"Staff were super friendly. Hotel felt spacious, lots of sun loungers to choose from on the beach. Easy walk to tavernas and bars, as well as a mini market, both beach side and up in the village. The yoga classes were great-not all for yoga bunnies which was a relief!! The gym facilities super. Amazing sunsets every night. Concierge helped us with taxis, hire cars and gave a great outside recommendation for our anniversary dinner one night. Loved it"
Sami Beach Hotel
"Great hotel, good location for traveling on the eastern and northern kefalonia."
Ionian Treasure Suites
"Had a great stay. Apartment was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. Property was quiet and well maintained. I Would stay again"
White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia
"A fabulous property in the most perfect spot. A short walk into Lassi, pebbly beach and sandy beach within close proximity. There are a few stairs as the property is set out over quite a wide expanse, and is set on a hill side. Beachside rooms have the most amazing views. There are also bungalows with outdoor sunbeds to watch the sunset."
Kefalonia Grand Hotel
"Seriously, what can I say? Fabulous hotel with a beautiful location and amazing staff. we stayed for 10 nights in a sea view room, gorgeous view and great to sit on the balcony in the morning and evening , we had amazing breakfast every morning with wonderful, helpful staff, after 2 days they knew our coffee order without asking. All of the staff were lovely and so helpful. The reception staff , Angelika, Cassandra and Georgia were second to none. very informative and we were always greeted with a smile. There needs to be a special mention to Georgia. We discussed our day with her every evening, she gave us great recommendations for restaurants. We have left making a new friend in Kefalonia. She made everyone feel noticed. Thank you Grand Hotel , we will be back for sure ."
