Kefalonia Monastery of Kipoureon Hotels

"We loved our stay at maria beach house. Having the remetzo village next door and being able to use their facilities was a bonus. We loved the restaurant and ate there several times. The staff were all very friendly. The villa is very comfortable and looked after wonderfully well by the cleaning staff. Fresh towels daily and new sheets regularly. The aircon was particularly good, but the Wi-Fi was very poor. It was non existent when the doors were closed and aircon on. The pool was cleaned daily and the path from the villa goes to the beach. The path is pretty hazardous tbh but you can go a longer way round which is flatter. The downside we found was that from around 5pm there was no shade whatsoever, and as it was 33 degrees in June, we were unable to bear sitting outside at all, which was a shame.The Greek supermarket 10 minutes away was very good as were the local tavernas at Vatsa. We used the excellent ferry from lixouri the Argostoli and were blown away by its efficiency. We booked with Agni travel who are excellent and would return. The Wi-Fi was the one thing that would put us off. "

"We were a group of 4 friends, and we loved Antigoni Villa and Remetzo Village. The setting/view is lovely, and the space easily accommodated the 4 of us. We enjoyed being on the less populated side of the island, yet an easy ferry ride from Lixouri to Argostoli, and back again.Our trusty VW Skoda (from RentCarKefalonis) took us all over the west side of the island: Myrtos, Assos, Petanoi, Fiskardo, Sami. There are lovely beaches not far from the Villa--we liked Megas Lakos for it's soft sand, and Lagadakia for the little sea caves and secluded setting.The staff was wonderful, especially our host and our waiter at the Remetzo Tavern. They were so kind and hospitable, and the afood was delicious!"
