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...

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
Thalassa Boutique Hotel - Adults Only
"Absolutely amazing! The swim ups were incredible"
F ZEEN KEFALONIA - Adults Only
"Torn between gatekeeping and wanting to tell the world how brilliant FZeen is. Recommend it if you're active in mind & body (yoga, pilates, the stairs...), and want a tranquil, warm haven a bit off the beaten track for a week or two. The staff are wonderful, bend over backwards but not over the top. Couldn't recommend highly enough."
Felix Residence & Lucia Simona Villas
"Great value, beautiful courtyard and pool clean room"
Emelisse Nature Resort
"Beautiful family-run hotel. We stayed for six nights and found it very comfortable....it genuinely felt like home, thanks to the number of different spaces to sit and relax. It was never too crowded to find somewhere quiet to go. The food was lovely, with everything home-baked at breakfast, and the views and rooms were beautiful. Our only negative experience was that our bathroom wasn't very clean on arrival, and our room smelled of drains. We asked to move rooms, but staff weren't very helpful in assisting us, and we never heard back from them for the rest of our trip....despite paying for two rooms (a garden courtyard room and a double) to accommodate the five of us. I later checked online and saw there was a spare room available, which made the lack of response even more disappointing. Aside from that, everyone was very helpful."
Liberatos Village
"Clean room and fair price. Great location. Beautiful view"
Celestial All Suites
"All of the staff was very polite, accommodating & friendly. The accommodations were just perfect, nice rooms, lovely views. Parking was easy."
Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa
"Amazing experience and place! The location is great just few mins away fron the airport. Very clean and always ready to help. The staff was very polite and welcoming. The receptionist in particular one Dana was so polite and helpfull. She helped me a lot to organize my boat trip which was difficult because everything was fully booked. The hotel is beautiful and the athmosphere was great. Very nice for couple."
Irinna Hotel
"The property is definitely in need of maintenance ie the showers, the doors, the doors to balcony stiff and hard to open and close, the drain in the bathroom; but the Irinna grew on us both it is like going back in time. The staff are absolutely incredible they make you feel so welcome are kind Friendly"
