Ionis Hotel

Beautiful Kefalonia

8.0

If you are wanting a quiet small hotel then this is perfect. It is quite isolated and not a lot to walk to. The rooms are compact and very clean. The owners are very hospitable and helpful. Pool is beautifully clean. Breakfast was ok. Pretty basic and the coffee wasn't very strong. Greek yoghurt was lovely. We hired a car for 5 days and went around this stunning island. You need a car or taxi to get to any beaches. We visited a beautiful beach in lassi. Clear waters and sandy. Other beaches were charging 20€ for sunbeds. I don't think we would return here purely on the location but i can understand why many others return.

Sat at the airport for a delayed flight so thought l would review now to pass the time. Pretty much as everyone has said over the years - a lovely stay at the Ionis Hotel; a 2 star establishment but with 5 star service from Ilias and Peri who could not have done more for the residents and always on the go! Virginia's masterful Greek coffees were a delight and it was a pleasure to drink at the pool bar of an evening. The only regret was this morning - taxi was early and l rushed down with the suitcases and forgot to leave a tip for the cleaning staff - l am so very sorry and totally appreciative of how our rooms were cleaned, reflective of the high standards throughout the hotel. Highly recommended for a true greek experience from start to finish.

Total relaxation

We were aware this hotel was a bit isolated so no surprises there. This hotel has an amazing pool and gardens, The rooms are great, bed comfortable and towels changed regularly. Everything is clean and tidy. If you are looking for a relaxing week away you got it made. Food at the snack bar, good and reasonable. It is easy to get to Agostoli and we went twice and absolutely loved it. There is only one thing we missed, an authentic Greek taverna. Although there were two within walking distance the food was grilled meat and chips in both. This place is ideally situated to explore beautiful Kefalonia if you drive. We loved our time here and met some great people(you know who you are). Thank you to Illias and Peri who made our stay great. There will take you to the restaurants up the hill and pick you up for a small fee. 10euro was great for us. The restaurant up the hill Olive Lounge we thought a little pretentious but food was good and reasonable, the wine extortionate. We had a lovely time, thank you Illias and Peri you are stars. I cannot praise Verginia on the bar enough who made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you all for a lovely holiday.

Lovely central location. Gorgeous pool. Fun quiz night which we won. Lovely welcoming hosts. Mostly um guests on package holidays but they were all lively. Colony of bats living I. Our roof was fascinating to watch at dusk and Dawn.

Wonderful relaxing week with superb hosts in a fabulous location

Wonderful location with exceptional hosts who couldn't do enough for you. We went to chill out completely after a few busy months and that's exactly what we did. The hotel has a really nice relaxed atmosphere, illyaus and Peri go out of their way to help with anything such as booking taxis, restaurants etc. The pool bar is very reasonably priced good selection of drinks and enough choice of snacks with very friendly service! We only came back yesterday and have already booked again for next year! If you are looking for nightlife and a lot going on this isn't the place for you, if you want relaxation in beautiful surroundings with a few decent eateries within walking distance and more only a short taxi rise away this is the place for you! Pool area lovely spotlessly clean, plenty of sunbeds should they be required, pool cleaned religiously every evening. We don't really ever take breakfast so can't comment too much, however the coffee was lovely, and judging by other guests plates which were cleared the food must be good! Couldn't recommend more highly a definite slice of greek hospitality at its best! Can't wait to return next year
