Best Hotels in Livathou, Greece

A lovely hotel, very clean and today with lovely staff. The hotel is in quite a rural area so I would recommend booking excursions or hiring a car. The local beach, Ammes beach is lovely for a swim. Overall the hotel was absolutely fantastic, the food was good, we went half board and enjoyed every breakfast and dinner that was served, the hotel also has some really nice lunch options. The rooms are nice and spacious and come equipped with all amenities, hotel staff are really friendly and welcoming and always happy to help. The hotel pool was a lovely place to sit for a relaxing day, we visited in October and had no problems finding somewhere to sit but I could imagine that during peak summer months that the hotel would be short of sun loungers. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to someone visiting Kefalonia, Argostoli is a 20 euro taxi away or you can catch the local bus from Ammes beach bus stop for just 2 euro, overall great hotel and good location.

Inspiration comes alive at Celestial Hotel Kefalonia nestled within the lush green forest of Mousata only a few meters away from the emerald Trapezaki beach, a luxe outpost in Kefalonia made for a stay unlike any other. Nestled within the lush landscape of Mousata Village, our luxury boutique hotel is an oasis of design, personalized service, and modern amenities for well-seasoned adventurers and discerning travelers. The establishment features a total of 40 guest rooms.

We booked the Kefalonia Bay Palace for a ten day stay in Kefalonia based on TripAdvisor research and my perception of location, never having been to Kefalonia before. It’s about 45-60 minutes from the airport. We arrived late at night, restaurant was closed so they referred us to a nearby taverna. Hotel gave the impression of being understaffed or minimally staffed. There were enough employees, but the communal bar was not staffed (the pool bar was at certain hours) denying guests a communal get together opportunity. We checked into our room and while at dinner the hotel phoned us and upgraded us. We knew we would have part of our stay in a mini villa and part in a family room. At this point we were pleased to be upgraded to a mini villa for the entire stay. There was a nuisance local tax to pay at check in which seemed odd. It was not a lot of money but generally these things are included in your quote and these local requests for a few more Euros are a nuisance. Be alert that the Kefalonia Bay Hotel is located at the edge of the village of Aggia Effima from where numerous taverns, cafes, shops and bars are walkable. But the hotel is located on a steep cliff side offering lovely views but a tortuous ascending of 135 steps and a lift to get back to our room every night. This is no joke and we were gasping for breath every night we came back to our room. Our mini Villa was the very highest, very last of the development. Breakfast was good, often packed busy but always a place to sit and frequently rotated buffet trays. Wasps plagued your meal but we found that all over the island not just at the Kefalonia Bay Palace. After staying one night in one room and six nights in another we were asked / told to move a second time so eventually we stayed in three different rooms in ten nights. We were fully expecting to move rooms once, but not twice. But we were upgraded and we cannot complain about that. Staff helped us with each move. Breakfast was good, and one in room meal was also good. Seeing as the main lobby bar never had any staff I’d often frequent the pool bar which was staffed at certain hours. We had our own pool so did not use the communal ones. We’d eat in town every night enjoying a nice walk to numerous bars and restaurants / tavernas in the village. We worked off some calories on the mountaineering trek back to our room at the Kefalonia Bay Palace. We. ate one night at another nearby hotel that was much more accessible and has a very nice restaurant and view. We never ate in the evening at Kefalonia Bay Palace as the restaurant lacked charm and setting compared to the numerous local alternatives. We booked a nice island tour via the hotel and arranged a couple of our own tours / trips. There are many positives and negatives about the Kefalonia Bay Palace but there were some shortcomings, the place was quite expensive and not that accessible. We can neither recommend nor dissuade people from this hotel. It’s a tough one to review.

€25 taxi fare for 20 minute drive from airport. Important to confirm it’s the “hotel” you want as there are villas in a different location with the same name. Really helpful and kind staff on reception. Given room 203 on 2nd floor with very narrow balcony with great view of the harbour. Super clean room with comfortable bed. Small bathroom with very small shower cubicle - but strong water flow with lots of hot water. Aircon available and needed in hot weather. Enjoyed evening drinks on the roof top bar. Located off the main street with the shops and restaurants but room quiet - it was late September. About 700m from the bus station - we were going on to Ithaca by ferry from Sami. Had to cross over the road a few times to find suitable pavements to drag suitcases. Reception suggest booking direct with hotel.

The Mirabelle City Centre hotel is the friendliest hotel we have ever stayed at. This review should be short because there is not a thing to complain about. The reception desk, usually manned by Tasos is welcoming and efficient. As an extra, Tasos will teach you some Greek if you ask. I found out that we share a common interest, so we had plenty to chat about. The room has all you could need, bed linen and towels changed very frequently. Robes and slippers were provided. The aircon worked flawlessly and a safe was provided, both for no extra charge. The balcony was good for listening to the crickets in the trees. They chirp for 11 minutes then stop for about 8. (Yes, I do need to get out more.) I wondered what the collective pronoun for crickets was and decided it must be a team!......Oh how boring, Google says an orchestra of crickets. Location is spot on for eateries and cafes and the boats and ferry are only a few minutes away. So that is my short review....except for breakfast. Rosa is the Queen of the Kitchen. There is so much choice. You could stay for a couple of months and not eat the same thing twice. The cakes and pies are all homemade by Rosa and so enjoyable. At the end of breakfast, she starts cooking tomorrows offerings, she never seems to stop. Thank you Rosa. The Hotel wouldn't be the same without her and Tasos. Go stay, you won't be disappointed. We loved it.

This was our first visit to Skala although it actually our third time to Kefalonia. The Melidron is a lovely hotel in an ideal location (about a 10 minute stroll from the busier area of the town) and a couple of minutes walk from the beach. The breakfasts are typically Greek - yogurt, breads, cheese, meats and fruit but made even better by the daily dose of Cremmie's home made cake. We also had a couple of lunches at the hotel - pizza and Greek salad which again were very tasty and made to order. Wendy was our contact before and during our stay and was very helpful and knowledgable. Theo and Aris who ran the bar were very friendly as was Penelope who was on reception during the late afternoon and evening. The pool bar and pool area were nice places to sit and the infinity pool gave a great view of the sea. The gardens were well kept and nice to sit in if you wanted a change from a sunbed. There was never an issue getting a sunbed though we did notice a couple of people put towels on the sunbeds early then didn't bother using them until later in the day. This wasn't necessary and just annoyed other guests. Our room was on the ground floor and had a garden view and was a good size. All in all a lovely relaxing holiday in a lovely hotel with first class staff.
