10-year anniversary stay in Kefalonia

My wife and I stayed here for our 10-year anniversary trip, and we absolutely loved it! The room was very comfortable, and the view was incredible. We spent a lot of time on our balcony just soaking in the gorgeous views. The Wifi was fantastic, which was very important to me, as I unfortunately had to work every night. The location was really great as well! Lithovatis Beach is a very short walk, with crystal clear water for snorkeling, and we always managed to grab a nice spot. The town of Agia Effimia was also a short walk, with plenty of restaurants and shops. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful at all times. They provided clean beach towels, pool towels, beach umbrellas, and my wife even picked out books to read. The hotel also has a great menu of grocery items, spa items, and souvenirs to purchase. Parking was never an issue, as we always had a spot to park at the hotel. Breakfast was extremely delicious every morning, and we loved the Mnistires restaurant downstairs. We must have gotten room service every day. The pool was also beautiful, and we really enjoyed laying by the pool with a cold drink. We absolutely loved our stay and the next time we are in Kefalonia, this is the only hotel we will stay in :)

Exceptionally good service, amazing view

What an absolute gem. We enjoyed such a relaxing stay, truly exceptional warm friendly hospitality right through from arrival to departure. Reception, restaurant and all support staff were so genuinely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast selection and service outstanding. We ate in the restaurant a few lunch and evenings, fabulous food, mouthwatering daily specials expertly described, plus excellent speciality cocktails, even extra ice arrived magucally when loynfing by the pool. Stunning views, location amazing, lovely traditional village, grear selection of places to eat drink, hire a boat, without being too touristy - perfect for relaxation and great Greek hospitality. Absolutely loved it - hope to return many times!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Odyssey hotel. The location was very close to Agia Effimia which we enjoyed using as our base. The three (!) different Katherines looking after reception were all very kind and helpful and gave us great recommendations of places to stay.

We found the electrical box in our room very noisy on the first night but were promptly moved after sharing this with staff.

The couple of changes we'd have liked would be to have a duvet rather than just sheets, although know this isn't uncommon for a lot of Europe! We also found it strange that we could not eat our own food by the pool due to it being owned by the restaurant, despite the pool being only for hotel guests anyway.

Finally, there's a sign in the bathroom saying to hang up towels if you don't want them washed every day and we liked this as are quite eco-conscious, however regardless of how we hung them up they seemed to be changed every day.

An amazing hotel in a great location run by the nicest people! We had high expectations based on reviews we had read before we booked our trip and we were not disappointed. The hotel is in a great location, Agia Efimia is a lovely place to stay, nothing not to like. The Odyssey Boutique Hotel is in a great location, within a couple minutes you can walk to everything, shops, restaurants and bars, boat or car rental locations, yet it's quiet. Our room was lovely, very comfortable (and large) bed, nice seating area, great balcony with stunning views, modern bathroom and all spotless! The staff are so friendly and manage the balance of being attentive while also discrete, expertly. They really couldn't be nicer or more friendly.
Plenty of parking if you rent a car (we would recommend a hire car to see all of the island). I nearly forgot to mention the pool area - just brilliant! A lovely pool, plenty of space around it and the many sunbeds, never a problem to find available sunbeds and a parasol. Highly recommended.

A Truly Superb Boutique Hotel

This hotel is truly superb! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was modern, pristine, spacious and well appointed. The room's mini bar prices were reasonable and the restaurant is well worth a visit. It's located just off the main road but close to the town's activities in the central port area. The swimming pool area is awesome and the hotel provides you with pool towels and, if you need, beach towels for off-location use. It certainly looked and felt like the best hotel in the area by far - extremely highly recommended!

We consider ourselves very lucky to have chosen to stay here. What makes this particular hotel a truly special place is the staff. Katarina manages a group of genuinely caring and incredibly hard working people who all made this a relaxing and memorable stay for us. So many Greek Islands to explore, but if we are ever back in Kefalonia, we will definitely select The Odyssey Hotel again!

This was a fabulous hotel. Staff were all so helpful and friendly, but not overly so. The place is so incredibly clean, too. The rooms are all sea facing with fabulous views and are very large with extremely comfortable beds. The food is also very, very good, and they have a great drinks list with very well made cocktails. The only slight downside is that there is an extra charge for the gym, which is quite small, although enough there for a quick workout while on holiday. Would definitely stay here again.

Welcome drink on arrival, beach towels and parasol provided when we went to the beach. Only suggestion would be some more hangers in the wardrobe but that's me racking my brains for anything they could do better!

What an amazing hotel, everything about it was exceptional. Our room was immaculate with an amazing sea view.

We ate several times in the onsite restaurant for both breakfast and evening meal. It is without a doubt the best food in the local area.

Catherine and her team could not have made us more welcome. I’d like to give a special mention to both Dinos and Aristos, two of the waiters who made our dining experience a pleasure.

I would strongly recommend arranging airport transfers direct with the hotel as this made our arrival effortless.

Thank you to everyone there for making our stay so enjoyable.

Doubt you’ll find better in Kefalonia!

Modern, spotlessly clean, all bed rooms (22) overlook the Ionian Sea with a superb shower, large balcony, large very comfy bed / s, excellent and quiet air conditioning, breakfast is superb - with local choices and cooked - freshly cooked to order - and with waitress only service. All staff and management are totally professional, friendly and passionate about their hotel and their island and go out of their way to ensure your stay and holiday is a total success with nothing of too much bother! WiFi is excellent throughout. The restaurant - inside or outside is elegant and superb food with lots of choice including local dishes and boast of using high quality local ingredients. A promenade outside the hotel allows a delightful 5 minute walk to the local, delightful town with harbour which is quaint and peaceful with a large choice of restaurants / tavernas plus a post office, chemist and small supermarkets etc. Swimming in the sea is right outside the hotel with no noisy water sports, and the hotel has 2 swimming pools - one small, one large, with delightful terraces and a large amount of beautiful furniture. The grounds are immaculate and they grow some of their own garden produce. Large free car park, and a local bus stop is within an easy 10 minute walk. The town is also excellently positioned to tour the entire, beautiful island of Kefalonia. And many guests have stayed umpteen times - that speaks for itself!

Immaculate hotel with superb staff

Difficult to find fault with this hotel. With 22 rooms, it is small enough to feel intimate and of sufficient size to offer excellent facilities and a wide range of food. It is in a lovely location with magnificent views over to Sami and Ithaca. You will never tire of the sunrise over the bay. The local harbour is a short stroll away and there are a few coves you can swim from although the coast here is rocky and stony.
The food menu is comprehensive and all freshly prepared, often with organically sourced ingredients. You will not go hungry.
The staff are approachable, knowledgeable and eager to please without being fussy or over-attentive. It is a family run hotel and it shows.
Rooms are large and very well equipped - fridge, kettle, balcony, large bed, excellent bathroom, bathrobes, safe, etc. They are quiet and all are identical apart from colour scheme and a specific Odyssey theme.
Plenty of free parking and the free wi-fi is good throughout. Pool towels and beach towels and mats are all available free upon request.
Hard to find any fault. We did have a very slightly wobbly table at dinner one night and one of the three LED bulbs on our balcony wasn't working. If that represents some sort of holiday hell for you, don't go, but otherwise you should have no hesitation in choosing this fine accommodation.

The breakfast works really well as a waiter service being only 22 rooms with a create yourself breakfast with a large variety and as much as what you want. The hotel is in a central location in the area with outstanding views of the sea and within close proximity to the harbour. The area is very peaceful and quiet with a big selection of restaurants to choose from. I will be definitely returning next year and will make that trip to Fiscardo and the island tour.
