Our favourite rooms
The Eliamos Three Bedroom Villa is a charming crashpad (the largest of all accommodation options here, and a rare seven-sleeper in Kefalonia) with its own frgrant garden and private saltwater pool set on-high for maximum sea views. And we were also particularly drawn to the Elia One Bedroom Two Storey Villa, with an elevated duplex design that provides particularly dramatic views from the upstairs without the trouble of leaving your bed.
Poolside
The hotel’s main saltwater infinity pool is lined with plump cushioned sunloungers where you can swoon over the Ionian Sea in extra comfort.
Spa
Pummelling and pampering take place in two spa treatment rooms where you can choose from a menu of massages using regional and organic products. There’s also an outdoor spa pool to unwind even further in afterwards.
Packing tips
Bring a copy of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. The film of the book was shot entirely on the island so you’ll be immersed from the start.
Also
One of the hotel’s suites has been adapted for the use of mobility-impaired guests.
Children
Two- and three-bedroom villas allow for families with kids, and cots are available free of charge. However, the scene is more geared towards couples and there’s nothing aimed at little Smiths.
Sustainability efforts
The hotel goes above and beyond. Key cards, gym equipment and even bicycles are made from wood. Refillable water bottles are given on arrival, all plastic, glass bottles and cooking oil are recycled, and much of their energy is solar. They even support a turtle-conservation programme on the island.
