Lovely hotel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating in fact nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were comfortable with fantastic air conditioning which was a god send as it was very hot during our stay. All the facilities were excellent and so would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone.

This is a fantastic hotel with lovely staff and a great location. There are stunning views from the property, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and it's a short walk into town. The breakfast was great, and the staff were really professional, kind and provided excellent customer service. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again when we return to Kefalonia.

“Fantastic stay”
This was our second visit to this hotel and we will certainly be back again in the future. Apostolia, the manager, was there to welcome us when we arrived, say goodbye when we left, and she couldn't do enough for us while we were there. The apartment was well appointed and kept spotless by daily visits from the cleaners. The food and drinks were fantastic and the friendly staff went above and beyond to look after us, we were treated like royalty.

“Room with a view to die for and staff who went out of their way to make it a special stay”
Having spent a few days in Argostoli on our first visit to Kefalonia and explored the island, we decided we really liked Agia Efemia and wanted to spend our last night in a room with a view. Boy, did we hit jackpot! The view over the bay towards Sami was uninterrupted and breath-taking and that in itself made for an amazing final day. Then, take into consideration, It was very low season and we secured a great value price for the night. We were greeted like royalty and shown personally to our room by the lovely manager, Apostolia. She too had organised a complimentary bottle of wine and local almond treats which we enjoyed that evening on our balcony while catching the most incredible moonrise. Breakast was fantastic, plentiful and lots of choice. You need to be aware that given the hotel is built into the side of a hill, that there is some effort required moving between the rooms & the rest of the hotel and pool. There are lifts covering the majority of this but try not to forget anything in your room when you go to the pool as it is not just a quick nip back! We found the 10 minute walk into the centre perfectly manageable; a very minor incline after leaving the hotel building but perfect for an after dinner stroll or a cocktail or two. The hotel was quiet due to being early season so we were even lucky enough to get a late checkout which meant we could have a little lay by the pool before we had to leave. (Pool very cold at this point of the season, so could not try it but beautiful views, lots of sun loungers, towels included and a bar alongside). We will definitely return and can highly recommend.

Everything about this place is paradise! We booked a standard room with sea view, but on arrival we were upgraded to a villa with private pool. This was a lovely surprise which we were very thankful for. The views are spectacular and we felt at peace and very relaxed the whole time. They gave us complimentary drinks and a bottle of wine and generally went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The hotel manager, Apostolia, was delightful and really did everything to make our stay perfect. Breakfast was consistently good every morning and had something for everyone. The staff were friendly and always welcomed you. The bed was comfortable, good AC. The location is great and there are lots of great restaurants 5/10 mins walk away. We would recommend agia effimia as a fab place to base yourself in kefalonia and this is the place to stay. I would definitely stay here again and have recommended it to my friends and family.

“We will be returning.”
We had an amazing stay at the Kefalonia Bay Palace hotel. It is in a beautiful location in Agia Effimia just a short walk from the restaurants and harbour. The hotel itself is elevated and has the most amazing views. We stayed in a villa with a private pool but the sea view rooms are just as good. The hotel has been recently renovated and is spotlessly clean. The staff really made our stay. From the manager to the reception staff and waiters we had such a friendly welcome it was like a home from home. Breakfast had a large variety of options and the terrace overlooking the sea was a fantastic backdrop. We also had dinner there which is a different set menu daily and we couldn’t fault it. We will definitely return.

“10/10 5 stars”
Beautiful views, exceptionally clean. Just a perfect stay after a week sailing, everything was perfect, but mostly all of the staff could not have been more kind or helpful, especially the manager. Perfect, thank you 🤗

“Most beautiful views in the most charming part of the island with the kindest staff on side!🧡”
Our second stay here after a decade and it was truly unforgettable! The property itself is stunning, perfectly located in one of the most breathtaking parts of the island, surrounded by incredible views, peaceful atmosphere, and authentic Greek charm! What made the experience even more special was the kindness of the staff and management. Every single person went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for throughout our stay. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality created such a relaxing and memorable experience ♥️ It is rare to find a place where both the location and the people are equally exceptional. We left with wonderful memories and cannot wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for beauty, tranquility, and truly outstanding hospitality.
