    The place is clean and peaceful, and the hosts are wonderful. The apartments are spacious and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. There is a clean and quiet beach nearby.

    We were greated by Vivian's mum. Fantastic person, very kind. We had all help and flexibility we needed from them. Very good food recommendations. Nice, beautiful, quiet location with beautiful garden, pool, bbq. If you have an apartment on the first floor amaizing sea view. All apartments have terraces/balconies with outside seating. Very short distance to the beach, and only few minutes walk to restaurants, shop etc. We highly recommend. Thank you for everyting.

    It would be nice if the bar had been open for drinks a little later than 6 pm, but it is a small quiet hotel so we felt lucky they had such a nice snack bar atall. The drive way up is pretty hair raising as other people have mentioned but if you are used to driving in kefalonia it shouldn’t be anything you haven’t dealt with before.

    Very clean, fresh apartment with cleaning 6 days a week. Met with keys on arrival even though it was around midnight. Lovely host family and the food at the snack bar was the most delicious and best value we had on the island. We ended up having to share as the portions were so generous. Elenas mojito had freshly picked mint and lime plucked from the tree in front of us! The pool was lovely and deep which was good for our older children. There was the best of both worlds with a quiet untouched beach 2 mins from the hotel but also lourdata beach with its quiet bars and restaurants and boat/inflatable hire if you want a bit more action.

    Gorgeous location for a quite and free beach

    The Air conditioning is located in only one room and not enough power to cover the second room. The fridge from our apartment should be replaced (sorry Vivian :) ) because it is old (with rust) and not so quiet. Wasn't a problem for us, even if we had a car with a 4.75 m length, you need to have drive skills to arrive at the location :).

    The most beautiful thing here is the location. We need to pass only a garden and you are on the beach. The beach in this zone is only for you... there are a few people that come in this part of the beach. The garden from the location is lovely with lime trees and flowers. Also, the location is tranquil.

    The acces to the property can be difficult as it is done through a very narrow path.

    Very nice place with warm and helpful hosts. Clean and cosy the location is very close to the beach and taverns.

    Nothing.

    We absolutely loved the view and the sound of the sea from our balcony. Very nice apartment lovely bedroom very clean. We also loved Helene the daughter she was so caring and helpful and the food at the pool bar was excellent. Helene also helped us book a rental car , nothing was too much trouble for her, her mother was also really sweet. The pool was great.

    Can't think of anything! Well, one small thing, there were no curtains in the shower so all the water ended up on the floor creating a little bit of mess, but we got used to it (just step on a towel outside the bathroom to not wetten the floor in the apartment). But my guess is that it is technically hard to add a curtaint there because the shower area is actually not so big.

    Very friendly staff, gave us always a little bit extra which is allways appreciated! Very quiet and beautiful location, garden with fruit trees and lots of flowers. Private access to the beach which is on a side of the village so there's almost no people there. But still very close to multiple bars, tavernas, shops. The sea was also great! If you are lucky you can even spot sea turtles that come out to the beach to lay eggs.

    my daughter developed very itchy large rashes on her feet when she went in the sea with rocks outside the apartment. it would be useful to have some warning about it. only 1 socket at the kitchenette which meant having to take the fridge plug out to use the cooker or kettle and food got spoilt when I forgot to put the fridge plug in. Google maps show wrong way to the property when you are few minutes from the property.

    clean, beautiful garden, swimming pool, beautiful view from the balcony , very near to the sea and eating places; lovely, helpful and generous host. when we arrived there was cheese, fruit, bread and some veg in the fridge which was a nice surprise.

    This was a good size modern apartment. Unfortunately the bed was very hard and the towels very rough. There is one beach bar and one restaurant nearby but most of them are quite a walk as well as the supermarket. Also the path back is rough and unlit so take a torch. Beach is lovely. Bus stop too far away and up hill so only recommend staying here if you are hiring a car (we didn't)

    Apartment tended to be hot & stuffy & it’s facilities old & of poor quality, needs updating. Very hard mattresses made sleeping difficult.

    Quiet location, easy walking distance to a few tavernas/bars. Hosts extremely helpful & friendly. Daily cleaning of apartment. Towels & bedding changed frequently.
