Kefalonia Hotel Guide - Adventure Sport Hotels in Kefalonia, Kefalonia Island

Free Shuttle to town, beautiful view on top of the hill

Astra is simply perfect for a relaxing break in the hot Greek sun. Friendly staff, very chilled-out place, all buildings and decor in excellent conditions, the gardens are fantastic. Super pool, lots of sun beds, even in August we always got lots of pool-side time. The sea and a little beach called Ammes is literally 250 metres from Astra, so it's perfect for an afternoon dip. Restaurant is decent enough but probably the only weak link, especially as there's not that many restaurants nearby either. The only watch-out....if you don't like aeroplanes landing/taking off, then this isn't the place for you! It's very close to the runway, but the planes only land a few times a day, and even then they're actually quite a cool spectacle.

I booked fairly last minute but was rewarded with a wonderful room that had a small balcony with a partial view of the harbour. (room 103). air-conditioning and very clean. staff very laid back and nothing too much trouble. hint: park in the main car park set back from the harbour and wander down on foot to get bearings otherwise you may drive in circles. lovely quiet private apartments.

The hotel was in a great location and the room was clean and comfortable. The air-con was good. I was on the ground floor and the room was a little dark as the window opened onto an enclosed 'courtyard' and therefore no view. After a few days I was asked if I would mind changing rooms and going onto the third floor (room 38). I guess this was because the occupants couldn't cope with the 2 flights of stairs. I agreed and was glad I did! The new room was bigger and had a limited sea view. Great!!

The hotel was ok. Hotel staff all very friendly especially the receptionists. Only real problem is the rooms were abt outdated. Our tv was still the really old school ones and tiny. Most of the channels were blurry and only 1 channel in English (bbc news). Transport to the town is terrible. Only once Monday to Friday at 9.30am and one return at 2.30pm. You will need to take a taxi if you miss the bus. (€10 each way). If you are looking for a quiet family hotel and don't want to adventure anywhere then this is perfect.

Arrived by Taxi to be whisked away on the electric buggys to the friendly reception. Our room with a sea view was within a short walk of the main hotel, pool and restaurant/bar area.

Very nice stay, close to the beach and resturants. Rooms kept clean and nice and quiet.

The hotel is new and very well maintained. The hostess (Aphroditi) is an excellent host and makes sure that you have anything you need. The small village of Agia Efimia is a quiet and very quaint place. It is suitable for families as well as couples/singles. Restaurants/grocery shopping is within walking distance from the hotel. You can swim at the hotel's swimming pool or choose to go to one of the amazing nearby beaches (you need a car or bike). Plenty of things to see on the northern part of the island as Afroditi pointed out to us and she was right on the money. I highly recommend the hotel as everything was perfect.

I had a great check in experience the receptionist was extremely helpful.She printed off the ferry schedule for me no problem.The pool staff were very helpfull as well and provided towels right away.The pool water was clean and the perfect temperature.All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and will definitely stay there again!
