"We have just returned from a perfect holiday at Odyssey Boutique Hotel, and honestly, we could not have asked for more. First and foremost, we would like to praise the amazing staff. Everyone was extremely friendly, positive, and always willing to help. They truly made the atmosphere of the holiday even better. A special thank you goes to the kitchen team and especially to the lovely lady who manages it (unfortunately, we do not remember her name) for her kindness and warm hospitality. The hotel is maintained to an exceptional standard. Everything is clean, well cared for, and of the highest quality. We did not notice any neglected areas during our stay. The rooms are huge and cozy, and the beds are comfortable. There are plenty of comfortable sun loungers around the pool, relaxing bean bags, and two beautiful pools that were almost always quiet. The location is excellent — surrounded by great restaurants, just a few minutes’ walk from a hidden and beautiful beach with calm waters and almost no waves, and only about a 5-minute walk from the center of the village with many restaurants and supermarkets. Our return flight was very early in the morning, and the hotel kindly prepared a packed breakfast and bottles of water for us to take with us. We were also pleasantly surprised by the minibar prices, which were very reasonable compared to many other hotels. Without a doubt, we would love to return and enjoy again the peaceful, relaxing, and welcoming atmosphere that Odyssey offers. There were only two points that prevented us from giving a full 5-star rating: Unfortunately, the food did not always meet our expectations. Apart from the cheese pastry and pancakes at breakfast, we found the options rather ordinary. We also tried four different pasta dishes for lunch, and unfortunately found them lacking in flavor. This was especially disappointing after reading reviews describing the restaurant as being at a very high culinary level. The second point was the spa area. We were really looking forward to enjoying the jacuzzi, sauna, and massages, but unfortunately, due to an accident of the spa manager, the facilities were unavailable during our stay. We completely understand that massages could not be provided, but we were disappointed that the entire spa area was closed. Despite these two points, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Odyssey Boutique Hotel. We would definitely consider returning in the future."

GreKa Ionian Suites

📍 Aghias Efimias, Samis Beach Road, Pilarei
★★★★ 9.5 (22 reviews)

"This was our third visit staying in this accommodation. Nothing has changed but that's because nothing needs to change! Afroditi is a lovely host and ensures everything is in order. Agia Effimia is a lovely village and the locals are so friendly. Even though our last visit was in 2023 many business owners recognised us."

Faos Luxury Apartments

📍 Ayía Evfimía, Pilarei
★★★★ 9.5 (3 reviews)

"We booked this last minute for a few nights after flight cancellation made us extend our holiday. Apostolos was a joy to communicate with from start to finish. He let us arrive early and then offered us the choice of an upgrade to another apartment in his building for same price. The apartment was huge and we were given the most amazingly generous welcome pack ever. Apostolos was full of useful info about the island and was great fun to chat to. Being able to walk 2 minutes to our favourite local taverna and the harbour was a joy. Perfect location and partial sea views. Cannot fault our brief stay here."

Ballas Apartments

📍 Αγία Ευφημια, Ag. Effimia, Pilarei
★★★ 9.3 (7 reviews)

"This is where you want to stay in Kefalonia. The place is amazing! The rooms are wonderful, updated, everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom. We had a room with a view at the bay, it is all you need for a perfect morning. The room was clean, towels changed every day. The garden is beautiful, the host is very helpful and nice. There is a private parking. Very pet friendly ❤️ Location is amazing. You are in the center of Agia Effimia. From there you are close to the most beautiful part of the island: Myrthos beach, Asos, Fiskardo, Melisani cave and so on. When we will visit Kefalonia again, we will definitely stay here. The owner has an adorable girl, Lucy, she's a dog and she loves hugs🥰 I strongly recommend this place. You won't regret it❤️ "

GreKa Ionian Suites ★★★★
"My wife and I have just returned from a extremely enjoyable relaxing week's stay at the fabulous GreKa Ionian Suites. When we arrived we were greeted very warmly by the lovely Afroditi, who then spent an appreciable time illustrating on a map local restaurants and bakeries etc. In order not to repeat the same comments from previous reviews, we wholeheartedly agree with the great positive reviews from previous contributors about the GreKa Ionian property, Afroditi and Agia Efimia. Standards have most certainly been maintained and our apartment (The Kefalonia) was beautifully, clean and also spacious. From the Easterly balcony we had great views of the village, the harbour and further out to sea and the second balcony had a view of the sea and some of the pool. After eating out for our evening meal, we then thoroughly enjoyed sitting on our balcony watching the harbour area activity with the all the lights from tavernas etc reflecting on the water. whilst eating some of the delicious desserts or pastries from one of the bakery/patisseries. Afroditi has obviously spent a significant amount of money, on maintaining and updating for the property. One example is the addition of a lot of lovely effective decorative pebble type stones to the pool boundary wall, (and other areas) incorporating all manner of coloured ocean related pictures. One full wall of the property to the side of the pool also completely redone with thousands of the pebble stones stuck into the mortar. The whole pool area is a lovely place to be and with the bonus of more lovely new sunbeds added again this year. Like others have said, many times we the only ones at the pool, but when that was not the case it was nice to chat to the other guests. Afroditi is such a warm, kind, caring, thoughtful, generous and welcoming person, with a good sense of humour and she made such a big difference to our stay at her lovely apartments. One last mention is to the lovely cleaning lady who always greeted us with a big smile. Very much hope to be back here again Andy & Chris "

"Room was typically greek - very clean and newly painted. Large double bed. Balcony with lovely views of the harbour. Stavros the owner could not do enough to ensure we had a wonderful holiday. Shady garden with seating and views of the harbour and hills. Walking distance of shops and restaurants."

Alexatos Studios & Apartments ★★★
"My husband and I stayed at Alexatos from August 22nd to 29th and had a wonderful time. The apartment was super clean and equipped with everything we needed. The property is located about a 200-meter walk from the marina and the Agia Efimia seafront. We never had trouble finding parking because there's ample space in front of the property. Mirka's kindness, courtesy, and friendliness are exceptional. I highly recommend this property."
