Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa

Let's deal with the planes first: yes, they fly LOW directly over the hotel and yes, that means it will be noisy when they do. If you can't cope with that, DON'T stay here and then you won't have to write negative reviews on TA. The runway is about 700m from the hotel but we're okay with a few seconds of loud aircraft noise even if it happens a several times a day. Everything is... simply perfect. All the staff... just lovely. I made a note of names but sadly I've lost it but a special mention to the fabulously friendly and truly very smart Zoi (we hope you have a great time back home in Athens this winter) and the gentle, wonderful young lady managing the Spa. My wife had a 70minute massage and said it was one of the best ever. A huge thanks too to the lovely housekeeper who kept our room (108?) immaculate. Everyone made us feel special and valued. I don't know if it's adults only but I wouldn't recommend the Elektra for families with kids, although there is a small, sandy beach across the road. The property is calm, understated luxury, simple but stylish. Everything is well managed and maintained. We stayed four nights in the very last 6 days of the summer season and even though it was still quite busy, it was joyously restful. Location is a little isolated: we didn't hire a car but most do so the pool area was always quiet (it's heated - a rare and much welcomed treat). By chance we found a wonderful taxi driver who was native to Kephalonia and drove us around wherever we needed to go and at whatever time. Very knowledgeable, informative and reliable. I don't usually go back to places once I've ticked the visit box but I think we will definitely return to the Elektra Kephalonia.

A friendly, welcoming and comfortable hotel close to the airport. Our room, overlooking the garden and sea, was lovely and very quiet. There was ample choice at breakfast (scrambled egg was amazing) and the staff were always smiling and attentive. Sufficient parking if you rent a car and the spa and indoor pool were also great. I had a back massage in the spa done by Nancy, who was great, but Antonia and Emma were also very helpful too. The only things we could criticise, and they’re only minor, is that a colourful picture on the wall in our room would have been nice, as it’s otherwise rather bland. Also, despite hanging our bath towels up they were still changed every day, which seemed unnecessary, particularly in today’s environment. We highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful, boutique hotel. Very relaxed atmosphere and delightful staff. Gorgeous views over the sea & immaculate gardens. Small issue with room and relocated swiftly, which was appreciated. Special shout out for the restaurant - terrific food, service and ambience. Local tavernas OK but not a patch on the hotels own restaurant. Tip - join the Electra rewards scheme, book direct for discounts on rooms, food & beverages. We hope to return.

The hotel was designed to give the guests the ultimate holiday experience. When you then add in superb customer care, then you’ll simply have the best holiday. The hotel is located about 30 metres from the sea, which is the most captivating view when sunbathing by the pool.

Great hotel, great sunset views. Restaurant is lovely really good food, watch the sunset. We had an Executive room with private pool, it's very hot so would recommend! We used the Spa, Antonia did the treatments, very good! Emma also organised that for us.

This was the third year coming here and the first one with our small baby. I already knew the amenities and hotel and restaurant staff are amazing, but everyone was even nicer and more accommodating with a small baby. It really is a great hotel, with perfect rooms/view, wonderful spa and inner pool (which is heated so the baby could swim the first time there), highly professional and pleasant restaurant (and staff) and room service, and very helpful reception! Would highly recommend it to anyone!
