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 โ 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...




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
Kefalonia Grand Hotel
"We had a lovely friendly welcome at the reception when we arrived and were shown to our rooms which had a balcony and side sea view. The location of the hotel is right across from the harbour and very central for bars and restaurants. The receptionist was also very helpful with booking our transfer to the airport with George."
Mouikis Hotel Kefalonia
"Clean room with all the modern amenities, also the rooms face the harbour . Nice hot tub jacuzzi freeto use on the rooftop bar at no cost for the guests"
Sami Beach Hotel
"The hotel was awesome. Nice boardwalk to Sami, beautiful views, very clean, great pool with lots of chairs in both the shade and sun. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend."
The Alley Hotel
"We had a lovely stay at the Alley hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, ordering us taxis when we needed and giving us great advice about the beaches and where best to go etc. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We had a view of the harbour from our balcony which was lovely. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was great and we had aircon which we couldn't have lived without. The location was great, right at the seafront and we could walk everywhere we needed. Can't recommend it enough."
White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia
"Excellent hotel and location"
Liberatos Village
"We had a lovely stay at Liberatos Village. We stayed in an apartment with a kitchenette, which was a great choice. It seemed reasonably new compared with other parts of the hotel and was very clean and comfortable, with one of the best showers we've ever had at any Greek accommodation! The hotel is sprawled across a large area, and our room was quite a walk from the reception and pool area, but we appreciated the privacy this afforded. Lassi is a small but very pleasant resort, with many nice tavernas and easy transport links to nearby Argostoli. Please note that it is very hilly! We had not fully appreciated how steep a hill the hotel was on, which made the walk down to the main street and back up again each time rather daunting. Many people took a taxi up the hill, which cost EUR 8 each time, but we preferred to brave the walk - we certainly came home fitter than when we arrived! We were rewarded at the top by the stunning views. We must also thank Liberatos Village for putting us up for an extra night after our 8.30pm flight home was grounded at the last minute. They were very kind and accommodating during these difficult circumstances and we really appreciated it."
Felix Residence & Lucia Simona Villas
"We loved our stay here. The property is exactly as the pictures display. We found it to be clean and the bed was comfortable. Excellent price for the quality too."
Faro Del Porto
"Staff very friendly and helpful, room serviced daily,room lovely and clean ,the bathroom was quite small and it would have nice yo have some more utensils and crockery ."
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!"
