Everything! The location is amazing, the apartment is spacious and has one of the best showers we've ever had in Greece. It also has some of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in (including lovely cool quality cotton sheets and fluffy pillows). The balcony was spacious and furnished with both patio dining table and chairs, as well as a coffee table and rattan chair set. The view over the sea and to Zante is amazing!

“Peaceful stay in Lourdas”
Great location close to beach providing sea view and restaurants a peaceful resort. Small bar/restaurant at entrance. Car parking on site. Beach is quite and a mix of sand and stone one of the better beaches on the Island.

“Last swim in a Seychelles blue sea before leaving home”
After a trip on the most beautiful island of Kefalonia, this is an excellent place to have another small rest before leaving for the airport. The beach is stunning and you can say on the opposite of the road but the road is very calm, so it feels more like 'beach in the garden'. The house is highly comfortable and very clean. Everything looks fresh and well taken care of.

“A great place for a beach holiday.”
The apartment is perfectly located on the beach front. With Hemingways bar just a very short walk. There are plenty of good tavernas and bars along the beach. But unless you have a decent level of fitness, a car is recommended to go up the steep hill.

“Good.”
It was quite remote and we liked this, as we were looking for a quiet easygoing place. The staff was helpful and good-willing. The room was ok, with a kitchen.It was perrty hot inside, but we could leave the AC on while we were not there, so the nights would get better. A very safe place, we even slept with the door open to get more air. We also liked that they had a dedicated parking, with shadow, a big plus.

The location is perfect, it's literally by the beach, you just walk for 3 minutes and then you're practically in the water.

“Great Location and accommodation”
Dina the housekeeper went over and beyond her duties. All the housekeeping staff were friendly. Great location only steps away from a lovely beach, partly smooth pebbles and soft sand. lots of great places to eat , especially those up the hill.

Our stay was wonderful, and the 3 of us loved our time here in October. It was the end of the season so it felt like we had the property and the beach to ourselves! Walking distance from the beach makes this property a perfect choice as we could easily go for morning and evening walks on the beach and choose to eat at a variety of fantastic restaurants along the beachfront. The location is also close to the capital and nearby beaches for day trips so make sure you rent a car and explore this magnificent island : ) While the apartment was a bit small for 3 people, the balcony patio was a large, beautiful spot to listen to the waves, watch the sunrise, eat meals, and dry clothes. The staff were accommodating to our requests, the room was cleaned daily with lots of fresh towels, and the kitchen was equipped with what we needed - loved the quick burners and convection oven. There's a mini mart nearby to purchase staples and make sure you get the moussaka at Lovidis and anything on the menu at Lorraine's Magic Hill!!!

The property was in a perfect location just metres from the beach. From our second floor balcony we had a fabulous view of the bay. Property was cleaned regularly and was very comfortable.
