We arrived in Kefalonia after our stays in Athens and Santorini for a relaxing change of pace. Boy did the island deliver! We booked a six-night stay at the Electra Kefalonia Hotel and Spa in Svoronata in June. It’s near the airport so it was an easy drive. We were greeted at check-in by Effie, who was delightful and very helpful, and Kosmas took care of our luggage and showed us to our room. We booked the Executive Room with Private Pool. Our room was clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed, large bath, seating area, desk, a flat screen tv, and coffee bar area. The patio had two sunbeds, a table and chairs, an infinity pool which we loved (!), a shaded area and a sun umbrella. The room included robes, slippers, and flip flops. It was very private and luxurious! It was perfect for a vacation from the vacation! It was convenient to Argostoli where most of our excursions started. We did need a rental car. The included breakfast was outstanding, and the open-air restaurant was pleasant and quiet. The staff were pleasant and helpful, especially Zoe, who was our friendly bartender and waitress. I do not drink and she introduced me to the Crazy Frog mocktail, which I ended up liking so much that when I’d order room service they stopped asking which drink I wanted, they already knew and brought one! We didn’t use the main pool so we can’t comment on that amenity. I did go to the spa for a massage, which was delightful. Clean, serene and tranquil. The restaurant served delicious dishes, especially the seafood. The hotel is a short walk from the rocking coast which is also beautiful. All in all, this accommodation was a wonderful respite to come back to after a long day exploring the island. We loved our room, the staff, and the location! We’d stay in this hotel again in a heartbeat as it is a great value.
