Independent, Pilarei hotels

"Great place! The GPS point that Google shows is not accurate so do a little more due diligence to locate so you don't end up walking up and down the hills."

"This place is amazing. Staff was so friendly and made life easy. Grounds were awesome and breathtaking views everywhere. You wont be disappointed!"

"We stayed for 2 weeks and we absolutely loved the accomodation, the breakfast and the staff was very friendly. "

"Great hotel in the perfect spot on the island. "

"My wife and I stayed here for our 10-year anniversary trip, and we absolutely loved it! The room was very comfortable, and the view was incredible. We spent a lot of time on our balcony just soaking in the gorgeous views. The Wifi was fantastic, which was very important to me, as I unfortunately had to work every night. The location was really great as well! Lithovatis Beach is a very short walk, with crystal clear water for snorkeling, and we always managed to grab a nice spot. The town of Agia Effimia was also a short walk, with plenty of restaurants and shops. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful at all times. They provided clean beach towels, pool towels, beach umbrellas, and my wife even picked out books to read. The hotel also has a great menu of grocery items, spa items, and souvenirs to purchase. Parking was never an issue, as we always had a spot to park at the hotel. Breakfast was extremely delicious every morning, and we loved the Mnistires restaurant downstairs. We must have gotten room service every day. The pool was also beautiful, and we really enjoyed laying by the pool with a cold drink. We absolutely loved our stay and the next time we are in Kefalonia, this is the only hotel we will stay in :)"

"Superb stop on Ionian side of Greece Excellent walkable local beaches - par excellence Hotel staff at your service . Highly recommend this superb 5 star hotel "

"Amazing place!!!"

"This hotel was one of our favorite hotels we have stayed at in some time. Very friendly staff and the food here is amazing. They have live music some nights which was also so fun. Very comfortable spacious room with so much closet space. I would definitely come back here. "

"No one at front desk—a man arrived but did not speak English; we thought he was a guest but he called someone on his cell phone and handed it to me—a woman spoke with me briefly and then the man showed us to our room. Old refrigerator; door did not close, freezer was full of frost. Very few patrons; good because cheap hollow core doors shut very loudly and marble floors very noisy. We could hear two people arguing on higher floor. 3 min walk to nice beach with an attendant bringing drinks. Dinner at the Octopus Meze Bar was good! Easy parking! Fun lobby!"
