Sami Beach Hotel ★★★

📍 Karavomilos, Sami

"Just a lovely family-run hotel. Super friendly staff. Lovely breakfasts. Comfy beds. Clean. Hope to return one day! Close to many of the locations in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Don’t forget boat shoes, the beach is stony but the pool is gorgeous!"

Tetra Retreat
8.8 (22 reviews)

Tetra Retreat ★★★

📍 Svoronata, Kefallinia

"A totally relaxing, luxurious & peaceful retreat. Expansive ocean views from a private pool, perfectly designed for star gazing, sunset & spotting boats on the horizon. Beautifully designed spacious rooms perfect for lounging & steps from the equally lovely main pool & great restaurant. Staff so professional, warm, helpful & friendly. Rumour has it a celebrity guest was in our midst. Despite our best nosey efforts, the staff would not disclose who. No surprise they would choose this resort. An idyllic beach & cliff edge taverna is a short walk away. As is an Alice in Wonderland inspired cafe. Like the rest of Kefalonia, just gorgeous🧡"

White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia ★★★★

📍 Beach, Platis Gialos, Kefallinia

"The scenery is very good, breakfast is average"

Mouikis Hotel Kefalonia
8.8 (73 reviews)

Mouikis Hotel Kefalonia ★★★

📍 Vironos 3, Argostolion

"The hotel has a great location, not far from the beach, and plenty of restaurants nearby. There's a small supermarket to the right of the hotel entrance where you can buy yogurt and other similar items. Behind the hotel is a commercial street where you can shop, but the shop owners are quite casual, and some close very early. The room has a small balcony, not too big or too small. The only drawback is the poorly designed bathroom; the shower is too small, and the toilet paper isn't even next to the toilet! You can arrange airport or ferry pick-up through the hotel on Ctrip, but this will incur an additional fee."

Emelisse Nature Resort
9.3 (85 reviews)

Emelisse Nature Resort ★★★★★

📍 Fiskardo, Fiscardo

"Hotel is positioned on a beautiful part of the island. The grounds are lush and pool is great. We loved everything here as far as the environment, views, amenities and our room, but the service was quite poor specially with the front desk. Our room was directly by the pool, and two nights in a row live music was playing at the pool restaurant until 11pm, which is great if you are there enjoying it, but not when you have a small child and trying to put them to bed. The next day when I told the front desk member that the music was very loud in our room and we were unable to sleep he just said yes we can play music until 11. When I pushed further and asked if we could be moved the answer was no. And that was that. I was stunned at this terrible customer service. I appreciate the hotel was fully booked but a simple gesture, an apology or sympathy would have gone a long way."

📍 Avythos Beach, Livathou

"Absolutely beautiful hotel in quiet location but very near to our favourite beach (Avithos). The staff are friendly, kind and helpful. It’s a very relaxed environment. The hotel itself is chic and comfortable. The pool is crystal clear. Absolutely love this place. Having been twice now, will go again!"

Aenos Hotel
8.8 (56 reviews)

Aenos Hotel ★★★★

📍 Pl. Vallianou, Argostolion

"We were very disappointed with our recent 1 night stay at this hotel. We booked a classic room promising personal concierge service, early/late check in, and welcome treat. The initial receptionist ( lady with long dark hair) was lovely and helpful and promised our room would be ready for 1pm -- we had to wait until nearly 2pm for the room. We didnt receive a welcome treat (or was that meant to be the 'welcome drink' that we did get) and we saw no sign of our personal concierge. The room was comfortable enough - it was small though and the balcony was tiny (although it had a lovely view over the main town square). There was no hairdryer in the room -- we mentioned this to reception and the male receptionist was a bit offhand and advised we ahould have called him and he would have made a hairdryer available ---- well the cleaner should have checked that the room had the hairdryer in the allocated wardrobe drawer before declaring that the room was ready for us! We were disappointed that there was no coffee/tea making facilities in the room -- although to be fair the availability of these facilities was not included in the room description. The safety deposit box was completely out of reach on top of the built in wardrobe -- useless......I mentioned this to the male receptionist, who suggested we should 'climb' (presumably using the single cfhair in the room) to get access!). Not wonderful health and safety!!! There were 3 steps by the main entrance to the hotel - this made it difficult for anybody with large suitcases......there appeared to be no 'accessible' hotel entrance. Breakfast was just about acceptable -- usual half cold bacon, cocktail sausages and eggs in buffet style and continental choices (cold meats, cheese etc). Nice pastries and the coffee was remarkably good coming from a machine! All in all -- disappointing for the money we paid. This was our second visit to this hotel --- we probably would stay there again if only for its location in Argostoli."

Palatino Hotel Hotels in Kefallinia

Palatino Hotel

"**A beautiful location, but the hotel needs significant improvement** Lixouri is a truly lovely place to stay, full of charm, character, and beautiful views. The location itself is wonderful and has so much potential. Unfortunately, our experience at Hotel Palatino did not match the beauty of the surroundings. We stayed for a week and were disappointed with the lack of cleanliness and housekeeping. Our room was not serviced during our stay apart from the waste being emptied. We had to make our own bed, and the bathroom was particularly disappointing. There was hair on the floor that was not ours, a dirty shower, a very small and dated shower cubicle, dirty mirrors, and an unclean toilet brush. The balcony was also very dirty, as shown in the photos. The breakfast was another area that needs improvement. There were only two sandwich makers being used for toast, which meant having to wait, and when I asked, I was told to be patient. The water was only lukewarm, the coffee had to be chipped out of the container, and much of the food was cold or overcooked. Sadly, there was very little local produce, which would have been a wonderful addition given the area’s fantastic food culture. The pool area also needs attention. On arrival, the pool was green, although it did improve during our stay. The steps into the pool felt unsafe and looked like they were barely holding on, creating a potential accident risk. Many of the sunbeds were broken, the umbrellas were worn out, and there was black mould around the overflow gutters. We also noticed a lamp that had been pulled out but was still attached by wires, which was a safety concern. The grass area around the pool had become mostly dry dirt due to the heat and was full of ants. We really wanted to love this hotel because we loved Lixouri and the surrounding area. The views and location are fantastic, and with some proper care, maintenance, and attention to cleanliness, Hotel Palatino could be a wonderful place to stay. Unfortunately, during our visit, the condition of the hotel did not meet the standard we expected."

Maggana Residence Hotels in Kefallinia

Maggana Residence

"Just don't dare to go. Unacceptable doesn't mean anything. Just abandoned to its fate without anyone showing up except for a couple of foreigners who are struggling with the unacceptable state of the hotel.. Broken cabinets, dismantled furniture, no light in the surrounding area.. we are forced to open the flashlight on our mobile phones so as not to get crushed on the filthy stairs..... the toilet had no light.. only the LED on the mirror was there so you couldn't even see the sink.. If I talk about the kitchen you will be disgusted... the bedrooms are unacceptable and the television is definitely a species destined to disappear.. one abandoned at the end of the living room.. if it is called a living room.. the balcony had a wonderful view of a building site that had thousands of abandoned scaffolding..the spiders were permanent residents in the light fixtures..I'm just tired of writing and these are just a few of the problems..Trust me, you'll be saved."

Alley Boutique Hotel and Spa

"Nice hotel. Good position, near the shore and near entertainment/restaurants. Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly Our room had an 'open' wardrobe - which was disappointing and no drawers or other storage other than shelves too high for my partner. Breakfast was a bit disappointing though it matches the pictures on their website so can't complain. The outdoor bar was closed and is much more gloomy than shown in the pictures"

Astra Village Hotel Suites Hotels in Kefallinia

Astra Village Hotel Suites

"This is my 2nd trip to Astra Village this year. I was here with my partner in July and stayed last week with two of my sons. This hotel is just wonderful. We were Half Board. The food was fabulous and well replenished, a great variety and with some lovely Greek traditional dishes too. The staff in Reception and throughout the hotel are really lovely and friendly, always willing to go out if there way to help. The rooms are cleaned daily and during the week replenished fresh linens and towels. Our room was overlooking their beautiful gardens and the sea. Loved my morning coffee on our terrace. The location is perfect, transfer from the airport is only 10 mins! Ammes beaches are just a short walk away, where we got to see baby hatchlings (turtles) making their first journey to the sea! What a wonderful experience!!! Watching the sunset from the hotel is something you can really look forward to each night too. Astra Village has the best views!! The bus stop is 4 mins walk from the hotel, so you can visit Al Helis beach or the lovely Argastoli if you want to venture out. We also loved watching the friendly cats and kittens play, a part of Greek heritage and an integral part of daily life in Greece. We had the most amazing holiday, thank you all so much again. What a perfect place :-). We will be booking for 2027 very soon and look forward to seeing you all again. Xx"

La Signora Hotel ★★★
"Well how do I start …..? Wow!!!. What a fantastic experience starting with our beautiful Angelic Xena on the front desk who welcomed us as though we were “Royal’s” spending time explaining everything to us and even gave us a hand written Anniversary letter. She couldn’t wait to teach us after us asking to teach us a Greek Phrase each day that we attempted to learn… μας φέρθηκαν σαν να ήμασταν οικογένεια Nico greeted us and with his calming charm made us very welcome and the bar staff headed by George were great … All of them including the house keeping ‘First Class’!!!’ Kefalonia we will be back and La Signora we hope to see you again real soon .."
