Kefalonia Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool Hotels in Kefalonia, Kefalonia Island

NOSTOS "ONE" and NOSTOS " TWO" are in fact Self Catering Studios & Apartments rather than a hotel which this questionnaire asks me to rate. Our experience was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Certainly one, if not the best, apartments we have ever stayed at throughout our 23 visits to Greek Islands ... absolutely superb " designer decorated ". HOWEVER ... whilst expecting to stay at Nostos Studios, on arrival we were moved to a second property owned by the same owners, very close bye, because of a double booking. The second property has yet to have a name as it isn't quite finished and has only been open from June this season, so we have given it a temporary name of Nostos "Two". What a stroke of luck it proved for us ! Fantastic building - more like a big private Villa with 15 apartments. Fantastic decoration, so clean, offering a gorgeous pool and sensational views of a good stretch of the southern coast of Kefalonia ! The excellent beach at Lourdata is only a 7 min drive, there are plenty of excellent nearby restaurants, a local Mini Mart & Bakery. Road access to the rest of the island is easy - only 30min drive to places like Lassi and Argostoli ( the capital ). EVERYTHING WAS JUST GREAT !

Small and friendly hotel with friendly staff. Clean and great pool/beach area. Nice breakfast.

A great, quiet, location, close to the picturesque town and harbour. Wonderful views of the bay from the room's balcony, to watch both super-yachts, and sailing enthusiasts, etc., as they come and go below, and for the evening moon-rise. The approach road ends uphill at the hotel, so very little traffic noise. The staff were superb, efficient, friendly and helpful. Great views also from the excellent pool , restaurant and other public rooms. The snag for some older clients might be the many steps to the various levels, but ignore the reports about driving to the car park, we found the climb easy in our hire Panda! It presents no problem to any competent driver. A nice touch was the free tapas when ordering a large beer from the pool bar!

From friendly greeting to cheery farewell it was tranquil and efficient. Food was good. Service was good.

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!

Just got back from a two week stay. The hotel is very well run the staff are amazing. The rooms are cleaned daily. Wifi isn't great in the rooms. The restaurant has a great variety of Food great breakfast lots to choose from. The evening food pasta, different meats loads of salads which I loved. Shame there wasn't more fish dishes as I don't eat meat but veggie option was good. The cocktails are great especially the expresso martinis after dinner. We went down to xi beach most days. Baywatch did the best burgers and salads. Also fish bones is to the left of the beach have to walk through the water very authentic food lots of fresh fish. Two weeks was too long for us 10 days would be fine. The food repeats it's self in the restaurant. Did the Thomson boat trip which was great fun went to some lovely beaches. The Greek people can't do enough for you.

Had a wonderful holiday at the Limonaki Hotel. There is a lovely landscaped garden, large swimming pool and the views are outstanding. The hotel staff are great, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet is good with plenty of choices. Lunch and dinners are also available and these are very good and reasonably priced. Bar tender Michael makes wonderful cocktails and is fun, with great English. He also has a nice sense of humour. There are nice little touches like a dryer with clothes pegs on every balcony - perfect!

Even before we arrived, Despina was helping us with advice on taxis (expect to pay E50 from the airport to Sami - this is a fair price). She can also recommend car hire, which may work out cheaper than if you try to arrange this on your own. There is a bus service, but their frequency may not suit your plans so check. As soon as we arrived, Despina was very welcoming and offered us a drink in the shade. She then showed us to our nice, cool room and left us to settle in. She knows the area very well, of course, and can make all sorts of recommendations for you. The accommodation is very clean, with wifi, air-con and TV, and a kitchenette area. The garden, which I loved, has a spa pool, loungers and umbrellas for shade. They have play things for children too, if you require. You will also notice swallows, butterflies and bright flowers everywhere. A bakery next door sells delicious breads, cakes, honey, eggs and ice cream, plus two nearby mini-markets sell other basic provisions you may need. We recommend this place very highly if you are staying in Sami, for either a short or long stay.

The room was clean with a balcony overlooking the sea which was lovely. The bathroom was very small with a shower that didn't work very well. The breakfast wasn't great, only bread and cereal, nothing cooked which was very disappointing considering the cost. The apartments are very basic and on top of a steep hill so you'll need a car if you stay here.
