Hotels near Xilomata Beach in Kefallinia

€25 taxi fare for 20 minute drive from airport. Important to confirm it’s the “hotel” you want as there are villas in a different location with the same name. Really helpful and kind staff on reception. Given room 203 on 2nd floor with very narrow balcony with great view of the harbour. Super clean room with comfortable bed. Small bathroom with very small shower cubicle - but strong water flow with lots of hot water. Aircon available and needed in hot weather. Enjoyed evening drinks on the roof top bar. Located off the main street with the shops and restaurants but room quiet - it was late September. About 700m from the bus station - we were going on to Ithaca by ferry from Sami. Had to cross over the road a few times to find suitable pavements to drag suitcases. Reception suggest booking direct with hotel.

I'll start off with a few of the good things about the hotel before listing the poor things. The view from the room was too die for. You couldn't beat it, absolutely amazing. The staff were always helpful whenever we needed anything so have no quarrells with that one either. The pool facilities there are also great, one of the best pools I've actually ever used, the sun loungers are a bit dated but they're good enough! However, the steps... You'll read about this in most of the reviews. If you have any disabilities, this is not the hotel for you. We counted over 150 steps you have to go up for our room, now if you plan on doing the pool, then lunch, then dinner, these steps do mount up. ”There's lifts!”, there are two lifts which do help, however, one of them is broken and by reading other reviews, has been for over a year. We were actually lead into the first broken lift by an employee and was stuck in there in the heat for 15 minutes before being let out by another employee. I'm not sure if this is just a european thing, but I do feel obliged to mention these two things. The beds are rock solid, if you're british and used to a lovely soft bed, forget what you know because these are something different. We woke up aching some days. Another small gripe and again, seems to be a greece in general thing, 'Don't flush the toilet roll down the toilet, use the bin next to you', first of all, how disgusting to have a bin full of excrement, I'm sure you can guess what we did, flushed it. We went down for breakfast every day at roughly 8:30-9AM, there's a wide selection, but all the hot meal items were cold, every single time. Such a shame, I did report this but alas, no change. There's so much potential with this hotel and definetely was not the worst hotel to stay at, but there's much better out there.

Booked this as a solo trip and I could not have wished for a nicer experience. The staff made me feel like a part of their family. It's a fairly small hotel so it feels nice and personal when you see familiar faces each day. The rooms are average size with a nice balcony overlooking the countryside and sea in the distance. It is fairly quiet at this hotel which was perfect for me. The pool has no noisy animation which again was great for me. The dining area is alfresco with nice relaxing music playing. I thought the food was great with lots of variety each day. There is a nice beach a short walk away where you can rent beds in peak season. It is worth to note in early may this facility wasn't open but it was nice to relax on a towel anyway. Irene and Kristina on reception were always happy to help. The staff here are what makes this place stand out. They have a spa offering treatments and a sauna. At an extra cost but not bad prices. Magdalena gave the best facial. The wifi was good and the decor of the room nice and bright. A short walk away is a bus stop to the capital Argostoli which is really easy to do and well worth it. Not much nightlife around the hotel but this did not bother me at all as I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The staff at dinner and breakfast always had a smile. Elva, Filipo and Labros you guys are amazing at what you do. Lula my cleaner was adorable and kept my room spotless everyday. The cleanliness here is top notch. This hotel was perfect for a solo woman travelling alone. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Kefalonia, you will have a lovely stay and most importantly will be treated like a valued guest by the incredible staff. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful stay, one of the best holidays ever.

Thank you so much to all the lovely staff who helped me to have such an enjoyable holiday at this hotel.
