"Breakfast was great. Pool was clean and nice pool furniture"

"We loved the place,hosts were very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing and was always fresh. Georgina and her husband were extremely friendly and accommodating. View from the pool area is amazing."

"Basic but clean and comfortable room and en-suite. No lounge area for poor weather but for fine beach days it was excellent. "

"Great breakfast choice even for those on restricted diets. Really great sized room for a family of four. Gave mum and dad privacy and kids space. Will book again. "

"This is an amazing family run hotel and quirky. The rooms are small, very dated in their design and dark but always perfectly clean. We would go back at the drop of a hat but see if we can get a modern room "

"Everything was perfect for a holiday in the sun. The house is amazing - a very interesting old house, as well as being very comfortable and equipped with everything you need. The mattresses are thick and good quality and the bathrooms are modern.The pool area is excellent - good size of pool in a beautiful garden with lots of comfy sunbeds and easy chairs below an ancient tree. A dining table and chairs in the shaded area provides a great area for al fresco lunches.Vassiliki, our hostess, is lovely - very helpful and available to sort out any problems, along with her husband if necessary!We (a group of 4 old friends) have stayed in several villas in Kefalonia and have finally found the one we will be happy to return to time and time again."

"Staff are friendly, family run business and very helpful, room was always clean and the pool looked amazing though we didn't get time to use it, enjoyed breakfast buffet which they had a good array of Greek items to try including halva, bougatsa, kritsinia, pites etc."

"Have just had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff are fantastic, a particular call outs for Athena on reception, who politely helped us with so many queries and always had a smile. Also Dimitri on the restaurant/bar, was so hardworking and pleasant. The staff are all very friendly and hard working. The food menu was limited, but adequate for a light lunch, the Lefkas lentil salad was amazing. As a general comment some external parts of the hotel might need to be looked at as bits are tired and the pool water could be clearer. It was quiet for our week until the end when a larger party arrived and then there was a struggle to get a sun bed/umbrella. Also the beach isnt that accessible and is small, however there are so many amazing beaches youll be spoilt for choice (beach shoes are a must). Finally if you have mobility issues this might be a challenge as there are lots of steps. The hotel is well located between Nikiana and Nidri, with lots of options to eat, shop and go on sightseeing trips. We hired a car and this was helpful as the bus is intermittent. A lovely, quiet, small hotel with friendly staff for a peaceful holiday. Enjoy"

"We saw Ionian Blue on a drive to Vasiliki and it looked so beautiful I did usual research on booking platforms only to find that it rated very poorly, eg. 6.5. Not to be deterred that evening as I was very keen to stay at Ionian Blue we popped in just as 100’s of wedding guests filed in for the reception. We had a look around the beautiful foyer/bar/view and were blown away. We decided to book for two nights and loved every minute. Firstly, Ionian Blue is a grand old dame. She is majestic. Sure some fittings could be refreshed, yes the gym has defunct equipment but the sheer beauty of this resort and the enthusiasm of the staff to help with every whim makes Ionian Blue the best stay we have had the pleasure of experiencing in the last two months of road tripping through Europe. If none of this has convinced you then lastly a dip in this clean area of Ionian Sea from the sun lounge platform or the huge immaculately clean pool after having the most superb grilled prawns and club sandwich. The food is sensational as is the service."
