Kefalonia Bay Palace by Ghh
8.8 (79 reviews)

Kefalonia Bay Palace by Ghh ★★★★

📍 Agia Efimia, Pilarei

"We recently stayed 5 nights at Kefalonia Bay palace the staff were all very friendly and helpful and the views are amazing. Lena the manager was always close by to ask if everything was ok, we found the 2 bedroom villa with a pool very relaxing but lacked kitchen space to wash glasses ect. The pool closing at 7pm each day is a bit early when the weather is so hot. The location is very step with lots of steps and the rooms are very tired."

📍 Aghias Efimias, Samis Beach Road, Pilarei

"Perfectly located on a quiet stretch about 5-10 min walking distance to pretty much anywhere in town. Spacious apartment, with separate bedroom and beautiful view from the balcony. All is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The pool is inviting and everything is lovingly decorated with greenery. Owner Afroditi gives the warmest welcome and is full of knowledge, she will give you the best tips about the island! Don’t skip breakfast at their cafe in town: O Kouklos."

Kefalonia Bay Palace by Ghh ★★★★
"The hotel is beautiful, we stayed in a gorgeous villa with a private pool which was immaculate and reading other reviews was expecting out of date decor, but it’s gorgeous and traditional! The view is unbelievable, I can’t put into words how stunning it was ❤️ THE STAFF I have never experienced service like it; they were just wonderful! Couldn’t do enough for you and everything felt so genuine. Thank you so much to all the incredible people who work there for making our stay so special. It is a steep trek up to the hotel but you can take your time and I would suggest doing the stairs and taking a break at the pool bar to have a delicious cocktail to break up the walk. Would highly recommend this hotel and the town it’s set in was incredible too. Didn’t have one bad meal or experience anything but wonderful service anywhere we went ❤️"

Ballas Apartments ★★★
"This is where you want to stay in Kefalonia. The place is amazing! The rooms are wonderful, updated, everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom. We had a room with a view at the bay, it is all you need for a perfect morning. The room was clean, towels changed every day. The garden is beautiful, the host is very helpful and nice. There is a private parking. Very pet friendly ❤️ Location is amazing. You are in the center of Agia Effimia. From there you are close to the most beautiful part of the island: Myrthos beach, Asos, Fiskardo, Melisani cave and so on. When we will visit Kefalonia again, we will definitely stay here. The owner has an adorable girl, Lucy, she's a dog and she loves hugs🥰 I strongly recommend this place. You won't regret it❤️ "

GreKa Ionian Suites ★★★★
"We chose GreKa Ionian Suites based on its excellent reviews, but unfortunately our experience did not match the rating. The location, views and pool area were the highlights. We loved Agia Efimia and Kefalonia overall. The apartment was clean but otherwise average and less appealing than from the photos. The busy road, untidy neighbouring buildings and limited privacy with clearly hearing neighbouring guests at night bothered us. Also, the AC was placed right above the beds. If left on, cold air blew onto us the whole night, if turned off, the room became too warm; no settings could help us get comfortable. But the worst was that throughout the stay, we did not feel particularly welcomed as a family with young kids, and several interactions felt more focused on rules than hospitality. Our arrival (after a terrible and long trip with two overtired kids) was very disappointing when crib we had requested and received confirmation for had not been prepared. Finally, our child accidentally broke a simple glass bathroom holder. We informed the owner immediately and apologized, but were only informed of 25€ charge at a checkout. It felt excessive and should’ve been communicated at the time. Overall, we enjoyed Kefalonia enormously but this accommodation was the most disappointing part and not somewhere we would chose to stay again."

"We booked this last minute for a few nights after flight cancellation made us extend our holiday. Apostolos was a joy to communicate with from start to finish. He let us arrive early and then offered us the choice of an upgrade to another apartment in his building for same price. The apartment was huge and we were given the most amazingly generous welcome pack ever. Apostolos was full of useful info about the island and was great fun to chat to. Being able to walk 2 minutes to our favourite local taverna and the harbour was a joy. Perfect location and partial sea views. Cannot fault our brief stay here."
