Kefalonia Bay Palace

Our stay at the Kefalonia Bay Palace exceeded all of our expectations. Even before we arrived, Apostolia, the hotel manager, took the time to introduce herself and confirm all the details with us, which made us feel well-prepared and at ease before check-in. She truly goes above and beyond for her guests, and her generosity, kindness, and professionalism do not go unnoticed. Shes amazing!

From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with a warm welcome and genuine hospitality. The entire staff goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease throughout your stay. Whenever we needed anything, they were always happy to help, and every interaction was met with kindness.

We didn’t experience a single issue during our stay and genuinely couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly! If you’re considering staying in Kefalonia, Kefalonia Bay Palace is an exceptional choice.

Das ganze Hotel ist eine tolle Anlage.
Danke und liebe Grüße an das Hotelpersonal

The location was amazing, beautiful views, helpful and kind staff, and a nice buffet breakfast. The bathroom was fully stocked with the necessities, including tooth brushes, robes, and vanity products which was a nice touch. They also gave us a bottle of wine to enjoy and a variety of complementary drinks in the fridge. The pool was amazing as well, with showers, lots of sun beds, towels, and a snack/drink bar. The staff was especially helpful when we forgot an item in our room and they shipped it to us no problem. They clearly value and practice good hospitality.

Beautiful setting hotel built into the side of a mountain what a set of views

The best menager ever

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.

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 🤗

We received upon arrival an upgrade to a villa. Was very clean, good service and plenty of space.
Staff and breakfast are excellent.

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.

A wonderful hotel, beautiful location. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Especially the manager Apostolia was really attentive and very kindly upgraded us to a villa with our private pool. Very kind of her many thanks 🙏

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.
