Ino Villas Kefalonia
Ino Villas Kefalonia"We stayed at INO Villas Catalonia in September 2025 and absolutely loved it. We were lucky enough to be among the first guests since the property only opened earlier this year, and it definitely lived up to expectations. The villa itself is stunning — modern, super clean, and with the most beautiful views across the sea and towards Akin Foort. The pool was amazing and perfect for cooling off in the warm weather (September is such a great time to visit!). Inside, the villa had everything you...




Ionian Trilogy Luxury Villas
Ionian Trilogy Luxury Villas"Fabulous Villa Katerina! Totally private and in a stunning, quiet spot with lovely views. We loved the spacious living area and well-equipped kitchen, but the outside was so special - we ate every meal on the terrace and used the bbq every night. The heated pool was gorgeous and so much bigger than we expected! Our host Rosanna was very helpful and easy to contact, and she had provided some food essentials when we arrived, which was a nice touch. The daily housekeeping was much appreciated too....




Captain's Villas
Captain's Villas"The villa is situated in a great location, a short walk to the local bakery and 10 mins walk max to the beach with lots of excellent restaurants on the beachfront. The accommodation was basic but for the price it had everything we needed. It was clean, housekeeper comes daily and the pool was a good temperature. All in all, it was a great stay."




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."




Lazaratos Hotel
Lazaratos Hotel"Our stay at Lazaratos was amazing! It is a family managed hotel and every member was there to make us feel like at home. Very well located, very clean, amazing food on weekends, excellent breakfasts and a nice beach. Only 4 Kms from Lixouri. Definitely, I will go back to Lazaratos!"

Top Kefalonia Hotel Reviews
Felix Residence & Lucia Simona Villas
"Room is only cleaned every three days so we needed to search out cleaning ladies for what was needed that we used on the previous days. Parking is close and needed to walk up to the apt hotel.WiFi kept going up in town and we had to continually sign back in. Not very secure the patio door did not lock we needed to put down the security gate every time we left the room."
The Alley Hotel
"Lovely little hotel right next to the main square and the promenade. Very helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful room, great breakfast. Would definitely stay here again."
Melidron Hotel
"A great hotel"
Emelisse Nature Resort
"Emelisse resort was fantastic! Beautifully maintained and clean rooms, convenient location within walking distance to Fiskardo (alternatively on site shuttle upon request). The resort had a number of excellent amenities, including sports, games, spa, pools, private beach/access to ocean, plus much more! Most staff were very helpful, especially when it came to my nut allergy (although I will say, some staff were slightly arrogant which was unpleasant at times). The breakfast was delicious and had a good selection which varied each day. There was free gated parking available onsite). We would not hesitate to return!"
Kefalonia Bay Palace by GHH
"A cozy location with a spectacular view and a friendly staff."
Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa
"Electra Kefalonia is an amazing hotel and perfect ambience for our Greek Island getaway! The staff was very nice and friendly. We had a wonderful breakfast each morning and a couple of fantastic dinners! The room was comfortable and clean, perfect night of sleep and naps after a day at the beach. We look forward to returning again soon!"
Eliámos Villas Hotel & Spa - Relais & Châteaux
"The views are outstanding and the restaurant is excellent"
Liberatos Village
"Liberatos Village is a lovely hotel. It is quite rural at the top of a big hill but my wife and I loved the location. We loved the hens wandering around the grounds. Check in was seamless and the lady checking us in was friendly and very helpful."
Kefalonia Grand Hotel
"We where a bit disappointed by the breakfast time keeping. The buffet was never fully ready at 7.30 as the hotel stated. We needed to get on with our day and were always waiting for the full item availability. Basically you only started to put out breakfast at 7.30 Otherwise our stay was great"
