The 10 best hotels in Kefalonia, Greece

August 8, 2022 Nobuko Falco

The sapphire waters of Cephalonia are steeped with history. The large Greek island was home to Odysseus, the legendary king hailed in Homer’s The Odyssey. Fortunately, it won’t take you ten years to get there. Explore the enchanting caverns of the Drogarati caves, sail to Ithaca on a glass-bottomed boat or marvel at the ancient artifacts inside the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Cephalonia’s main town. Or just hide from it all at one of the island’s many private beach coves.

What can we say, after an awful experience with a villa upon arrival , three of us we taken in by the lovely staff at last minute. Let down further by our villa company, the hotel went out of their way to accommodate us for the rest of our holiday. The hotel is beautiful and relaxing. Spotless . We are here for a wedding and worried about where we would end up. Alexandra , Chris and Christina have been amazing and cannot do enough for you. So thank you. All the staff are friendly and smiling and finally we feel we can relax.

Spotted this hotel's website whilst in covid isolation over Xmas. It looked good & it didn't disappoint. The look & style of the hotel was very modern, lots of clean lines, white paint & concrete. The rooms were lovely, we paid a bit extra for the top floor & it was worth it for the balcony space & the view. The staff were great, nothing to much trouble, plenty of advice on where to go, rooms cleaned top to bottom every day. There was still some covid restrictions in place, so the self service buffet came complete with masks & plastic gloves but didn't spoil the quality or the lovely setting. This was our first visit to the island & we'll certainly go back again. The town has lots of bars & restaurants, a lovely harbour area & a great square to sit & people watch all evening If you need the beach it's a 50 minute up & down hill walk into Lassi, or 10 minutes in a €6 taxi, well worth it. I can safely say we were well pleased with the hotel, the locals, the island & the weather Can't wait to return

Wonderful hotel

Reviewed By 589clarej

A lovely hotel with stunning views of Poros port and the Ionian Sea. We were greeted by Alex, the owner’s son, and given a choice of two rooms on arrival. Breakfast is excellent and caters for all tastes. The poolside bar offers a good selection of foods for a light, casual lunch. Rooms were very clean and well equipped. Peter, the owner, is happy to provide a personal transport service - even very late into the evening! The port and beaches are just a ten to fifteen minute walk away, but not for the faint hearted and I’d suggest you leave the heels at home! Nothing is too much trouble for this lovely family and I’d highly recommend it. Taverna Agrapidos next door offers outstanding traditional Greek food. Worth a visit.

Relaxing week - amazing views

Reviewed By LauraJRV

We had a wonderful week here. I was worried about the stairs (!) it is steep but don’t let this put you off - the views are amazing. Kids pool was perfect for 3 year old and the large pool was exactly that - large! Breakfast was nice variety of warm and cold food so something for everyone. A kettle, teabags and coffee was in the room and we just asked for some milk at breakfast to keep in the fridge back in the room. It’s a pleasant walk down into the village with some amazing places to stop on the way for for food or a drink.

Another blissful holiday at my favourite hotel

Reviewed By smith212016

We have been to this hotel many times but our planned visit two years ago was a victim of the pandemic . There have been changes structurally because of a severe flood two years ago but these have been very well done and enhance guests experience . The spirit remains as wonderful as ever and it was a joy from the minute we were picked up at the airport to when we were dropped off there again to return home. Can’t wait to return again next year !

Comfortable Hotel with amazing views!

Reviewed By ker6557

Just returned after a two week stay on our 1st trip to beautiful Kefalonia. Really comfortable, clean hotel. Central to shops, restaurants & the lagoon for watching the amazing turtles. Staff at reception were extremely helpful & very friendly. Housekeeping staff were very thorough, our room was cleaned every day & the ladies serving the great choice of breakfast were lovely! We were in room 304 which isn't the biggest room but the balcony was big with two sunbeds, table & chairs & the most beautiful sea/mountain view! I would request this room again for sure! Rooftop bar has the same amazing views. We were extremely pleased with our choice of hotel & hope to return soon - many thanks to Thanasis & Mouikis staff we loved our holiday ?

A truly lovely hotel with wonderful friendly staff who go above and beyond.

It’s in a prime location with only a short walk to the square.
