Kefalonia Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"★★★★★ We had a great stay at Kefalonia Grand Hotel and would definitely come back! The location was perfect, right in the centre with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafés within easy walking distance. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast had a great variety, with all coffees included, as well as fresh eggs and pancakes made to order from the kitchen, which was a lovely touch. The room itself was on the smaller side, but it was very clean and the daily housekeeping was excellent. Everything was kept fresh and tidy throughout our stay. There is street parking available, which we found quite easy to get during the day, although I imagine it could become more difficult later in the evening. Having a car is also useful for exploring Kefalonia, as some of the beautiful beaches do require a drive, which is pretty standard for the Greek islands. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The location, friendly staff, cleanliness and breakfast made it a great experience, and we would happily stay here again. Definitely recommend!"

Porto Galini Seaside Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The best thing about this property was the private, fine-pebble beach. The sea is beautiful here, and there are plenty of loungers. Our room was fairly basic, but very clean with good AC and the staff were great. Breakfast was very good too but there are only two coffee machines for all the guests so there was always a wait. One thing to be aware of is that the hotel does not allow outside guests onto the property at all - not even to dine - and this is enforced by a guard at the gate. You will also want a car or be prepared to use taxis, as there is not much within walking distance."

Emelisse Nature Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful family-run hotel. We stayed for six nights and found it very comfortable....it genuinely felt like home, thanks to the number of different spaces to sit and relax. It was never too crowded to find somewhere quiet to go. The food was lovely, with everything home-baked at breakfast, and the views and rooms were beautiful. Our only negative experience was that our bathroom wasn't very clean on arrival, and our room smelled of drains. We asked to move rooms, but staff weren't very helpful in assisting us, and we never heard back from them for the rest of our trip....despite paying for two rooms (a garden courtyard room and a double) to accommodate the five of us. I later checked online and saw there was a spare room available, which made the lack of response even more disappointing. Aside from that, everyone was very helpful."

"We had a great stay at Perantzada Hotel. The location is perfect, with everything within easy walking distance, making it a really good base for exploring Ithaca. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Caterina (sorry if I’ve spelt your name wrong) and the rest of the team were fantastic. They were really warm and welcoming, and always happy to help without being over the top. Their local tips were brilliant, and they gave us great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants and things to do, which made the whole trip feel really easy and well looked after. The hotel itself is lovely and well kept, with a relaxed vibe that made it easy to switch off. We’d definitely stay here again and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Ithaca."
