Kefalonia Paliostafída Hotels

"We arrived on 1st May for a 3 night stay. it was the first day of the season and the hotel team were very welcoming. Our twin room was very comfortable, clean & spacious. Slightly dated having been built 20 years ago but very adequate. The breakfast was exceptional; so many choices from fruits, cereals, cooked eggs etc,, yoghurts, pies & salad & a large array of pastries, desserts & sweets. The pool area was also very lovely, plenty of space & many double loungers with clean towels every day. I worked out in the gym most days, alone, & appreciated the equipment. We hired a car so got to travel the island, had we stayed just at the hotel & local beach we may have had a different Experience. We enjoyed coming home to the hotel & pool and ate there twice during our stay. The restaurant served excellent food, fairly pricey for the portion but delicious & well presented. Our only complaint was that the housekeeping staff were very noisy chatting & laughing in loud voices when we were still trying to sleep. One night they opened up the patio door (unbeknown to us) & we were bitten to bits by mosquitoes in the night. We make a special shout out to the breakfast team & the catering manager who worked tirelessly to ensure all had a good experience. I’d be very happy to return to Thalassa resort. "

"Panai the host was very welcoming and helpful. He saw to all our needs and kept the property surrounding very clean and presentable. He operates a small bar in the early evenings. There is parking on the main road can get busy at times however at the back of the property the road is quiet and best to park there. We had the last two rooms at the bottom of the property which were both private and quieter as the property is next door to Butler’s Restaurant which operates until midnight. These rooms have a rooftop terrance which you can photograph the sunset. The veranda has a clothes line very convenient. The last room has the biggest veranda and patio door and the newest aircon unit, the previous room did not and you could smell the mould. Be careful not to touch the hot tap in the shower or the sink basin the hot water is scorching. The bathroom is clean functional but dated. The towels are changed regularly but there is no pile on them so do not expect fluffy towels here. The TV does not capture any channels that are worth listening to the dish points towards North Africa. WiFi, slower at these bottom rooms and in the evening even slower when everyone on it, wait past 11:30 to get better signal. Upside, this property is location there is a cafe accross the road to get breakfast we had spanakopita and bougatsa every day, lots of supermarkets, shops and plenty of restaurants. There are 2 beaches within walking distance. This is budget property we had a great time. "

"We had a great time! Host is wondefully responsive, helpful and kind. Really enjoyed our stay! The restaurant next door is very good. Someone else (not the host) indicated it was the best on the island. The new coffee shop across the street (Nonna's) was amazing! Loved crossing the street to get coffee and breakfast. There are also a few little shops across the street that were the best of any we went into. Got some pottery there and mid-level jewelry. From the villa we were able to walk to no less than 5 seperate little beaches. All but one had chairs for rent and somewhere to get refreshments. All beautiful in their own way. Argostoli is a very easy drive. We never had trouble getting parking close to the villa (you must parallel). The villa is less than 15m from the airport via car and getting the Hertz rental on site was easy. Driving anywhere other than Argostoli requires you to drive around the bay which is a little time consuming but we really enjoyed the location of the villa all the same. Also the mini split ACs in the villa worked wonderfully. We were cool and comfortable and slept well. We didn't opt to use the kitchen apart from drinks in the fridge. Highly recommend this villa! "
