  : Great studio apartment. We booked as we had a late flight. The facilities were good and the beds very comfortable. We would book here again if we needed.

  : Accommodated our late arrival very well, key in door. There is some maid service on some days, which is over and above what you expect in this type of rental, towels refreshed, bin emptied, etc. Pool was great and not used much by other guests. The shower is not quite as flash and modern as some, but works incredibly well. A lot of people may be put off by the proximity to the airport but we did not find this an issue at all, even when out by the pool. Frankly, the Greek lady across the road is louder and can talk a lot longer, but she kind of adds to the atmosphere! The huge advantage is that the UK flights all come in very late and it's under 5 mins from picking up your hire car. Basics like washing liquid, toilet roll, soap, etc were provided. There is plenty of parking around in amongst the trees and you do need a car really here - parking is free and easy anywhere in Kefalonia, but get the smallest car you can live with! Location isn't very close to anything much if walking but is pretty good for going anywhere really by car, proper supermarkets are just over the hill and a good tip is to use the ferry to Lixouri - E3 per person each way and only another E3 to take a car with you! Loved the fan, french doors, shutters and bug screen (not cat proof!) - hardly needed to use the aircon at all, but very efficient when we did. Room 14 is on the ground so the view may be better upstairs, but you can still see the sea, plus it's much more handy for the pool, car, etc.
  : The flowery bushes are lovely, but could do with pruning in a few places, around the sign, drive, parking, umbrellas etc. There are a lot of cats, both on-site and visiting. We are OK with cats but if you are not then this is not the place for you. Generally the room was well equipped but a second pair of bowls and more/bigger glasses would be a big improvement. The fridge in Room 14 is a bit past it's best and runs almost constantly, luckily it's very quiet so not irritating. You do need good insect repellent around the pool in the evening, but that's pretty much par for the course anywhere.

  : I loved the room, balcony , bathroom , pool and parking
  : The pillows were over stuffed and so very uncomfortable. I had to use my coat as a pillow instead. There werent any blankets, just one sheet

  : The staff were really helpful and tried to accommodate me working from home on my final day! The Wi-Fi was great considering across the island the data and Wi-Fi isnt always the best! The pool was great! The nearest shop or restaurant is about 15 mins walk downhill, I didnt mind I like walking but heads up for anyone without wheels!Really convenient to the airport, I walked there on my last day!
  : You could hear the tables and chairs upstairs being scrapped along the floor which at night or earlier in the morning was annoying.Also, the curtains were so thin, I was worried someone outside could see in with the lights on at night! Luckily I had an eye mask but without this it would let a lot of light in!

  : The apartment was practical. Our apartment had a balcony but there is also a common area outside where you can have your meals. Great is the proximity to the airport but far enough not to be disturbed by noise. Well-equipped kitchen and modern bedrooms.
