Find the Cheap Karavados Hotels

This Hotel is in a very quiet rural area of the Island near the small village of Spartia. Transportation (Car/Scooters) absolutely necessary, even the nearest beach (small) is 25 minutes or more, walk away. Having said that the peace and quiet is lovely. The Hotel is typical of the Greek Islands, a little dated. The rooms are clean and spacious. Not enough wardrobe space for two people in double room. The air conditioning is good and they have a safe. The showers in the bathrooms have little room, especially when fitted with a screen (they don't all have one). When the hotel started getting busier towards the end of our stay the 'hot' water was not always available, but warm enough I suppose. The balconies are very small and where you have a bigger Terrace, this is sometimes outside the front of your room and may not be private. Breakfast was basic, buffet style. The hot food sometimes had sat around too long, but sometimes when asked provided on a call basis. They do also proved a limited Lunch and Dinner menu, again fairly basic. The Pool area is lovely and there was a lot of chairs and sunbeds and was mainly empty whilst we were there. There is a gym in the basement and a sauna near the pool which didn't work. With transport, everywhere is easy to get to, Argostoli can be reached in a car in 20 minutes or so, as is the Airport. There are some restaurants nearby, but again all need transport. the one in Spartia 'Cavo Liakas' is very good and with a 20 minute walk can be reached on foot. The family and staff are friendly and will accommodate requests and sort out issues. I had a good stay

Tim & I celebrated our 1st wedding Anniversary here. We stayed for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel is small and geared towards couples which is exactly what we wanted. Our room was spacious and although the bed was a bit firm it was comfortable. We had our own private patio with two sunbeds and a plunge pool which was the icing on the cake. The food was very good although not typically Greek. The staff were all very friendly & helpful. We were amazed at the length of the pool, approximately 65 metres we think. We both enjoy swimming and had the pool to ourselves most of the time. Kefalonia is a lovely island although the location of the hotel is in a very quiet part. All in all it was a lovely hotel and we would definitely recommend it.

I stayed at Leivatho for my friend's wedding who got married elsewhere in Kefalonia as it offered better bang for your buck than some of the rival accommodation. The hotel has a large-ish pool, sauna and decent gym. But that's it in terms of facilities. It has a breakfast buffet every morning with hot and cold choices and fresh fruit, but not a real wide variety if being nitpicky. Lunch and dinner are available at an extra cost but not too expensive. Just beware of bees outside that will swarm your food... But the staff light coffee beans which acts as a deterrent! I can't remember the waitress's name who served all the guests pretty much by herself as she worked really hard. The staff at the front desk were also kind, friendly and helpful! The rooms are HUGE and spacious with Aircon to deal with the infamous Greek heat. They were so comfortable like being at home. The rooms were also cleaned immediately and spotless each day. There was also generous bathroom soaps and shampoos. The shower was also the best I've ever used! (Although I'll never get over Greece's rules on flushing toilet paper!) The hotel has great value for a four star. Some of my friends staying at the Astra village had ants in their rooms and paid more than I did. Be aware the location is isolated from civilization so if you want to go to Argostoli where all the main bars, restaurants and attractions are, unless you hire a car, you have to take a taxi which was 25-30 euros each way and became quite costly. But overall I'd recommend.
