the room i booked was not up to the expected standard.. it was terribly dated and grubby. the bathroom was like a one-star facility, with water barely trickling out of the old shower fitting and water soaking the floor.

the location offered wonderful views. the room was quite comfortable and the pool is perfect for swimming. i enjoyed the free wi-fi throughout the hotel and appreciated the lift, which assisted with navigating the hillside location.
The absence of a welcome letter was a minor inconvenience. I did not receive it until the day before i left. it detailed information about the free water in the fridge, the safe, and how to request clean towels.

fantastic stay with some minor hiccups

lovely viewslarge poolhelpful staffdated room
The views from the room were lovely. i especially enjoyed seeing the sea and mountains of kefalonia. the pool was large and always had available loungers (i never had to reserve one!). the staff was helpful and responsive to all my needs. They were generally cute.
i found that the hotel is beginning to show its age and could use some investment. the rooms felt dated, and the shower facilities were not up to par. i think a refresh would greatly improve the guest experience.
