Panorama Fanari Studios & Apartments
Panorama Fanari Studios & Apartments"We stayed for a few days to attend a wedding in Lassi and we had an enjoyable stay in a nice location. Lovely staff- breakfast was nice and the pool snacks were even better! Can highly recommend their Greek pizza- it was delicious! The only things that stops me giving 5 stars is that the curtains in our room were very thin and we had a bright light shining in all night- blackout curtains would be good for the rooms. I also didnโt like that guests could smoke anywhere including by the pool but...

Top Kefalonia Hotel Reviews
Mouikis Hotel Kefalonia
"Wonderful modern, clean and fresh hotel in beautiful Argostoli. Fantastic location close to harbour and town for all the wonderful restaurants, cafes and shops. Close to churches and lovely bell tower and also amazing and very moving museum about the devastating earthquake and how Argostoli has been rebuilt. Staff at hotel were excellent. We arrived early and they arranged an early check-in for us. Wonderful roof terrace with spectacular views of Argostoli. All this at a very reasonable price. Would definitely return."
White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia
"All very very good but... No towels when we arrived, we were looking forward to use the facilities but swimming pool area was packed , some people had 2 or 3 towels per head and we waited and waited but nothing. they were meant to be complimentary. disappointing. Also no room service after some point. we run out of water ( only 2 small 500ml bottles in the room) on a very hot day it was simply not enough. We asked room service for some more, they said no. And instead I had to go all the way back to the restaurant, quite far from our room. Apart from this, a truly incredible experience. Hence the 5 stars regardless."
Kefalonia Grand Hotel
"I checked in very late and was very well taken care of when I arrived by the on-duty manager. The room was lovely and the hotel breakfast is delicious! The lobby is also a lovely space to sit in and read with a coffee. On tip--if you are hoping to arrange airport pickup you must call the hotel in advance. Emailing is not sufficient."
The Alley Hotel
"The hotel is modern walking distance to everything, the staff are amazing very friendly, only thing is misleading is the pool picture which there is none"
Felix Residence & Lucia Simona Villas
"Apartment was very clean & cleaned daily. Had a kitchenette with 2 burners. Also had cookware, silverware, plates/bowls, & a hot water pitcher for teas/coffee. Apt furnished dish soap, sponge for washing dishes, paper towels & plenty of toilet paper. Showers were small, but manageable unless you are a very large person. (Husband is 6ft & 290 lbs & had difficulty getting in & out of shower, but succeeded!) Beautiful view from the back portico including table & chairs. They even furnished an ash tray on the portico table. (Husband is a smoker so that was a plus.) Staff was very friendly! Location was very quiet & had the sweetest kitty cats roaming the property. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our 25th Anniversary trip. The swimming pool was beautiful with plenty of sun beds. They even had a small playground for children."
Kefalonia Bay Palace by GHH
"Best views in the island. Very convenient stay to explore the beautiful part of the island and do daily trips nearby. Good breakfast buffet to start the day, great dining options within walking distance."
Odyssey Boutique Hotel
"the front desk ladies were super friendly and made our stay feel extremely special - the property is beautiful and we cant wait to stay there again!"
Aenos Hotel
"Lovely hotel, friendly staff, great location, yummy breakfast. The beds are comfy and rooms are spacious and clean. There is some noise from the square which goes on late into the night, but windows keep most of the noise out if closed."
F ZEEN KEFALONIA - Adults Only
"All was even better than expected. Great facilities , sunny beach , lovely views , great food and excellent people working there who made sure our stay was outstanding. Elena , Yeti , FredericBlane and Yannick were just some of those who made our stay really special."
