Bessie's Village

We had a great time at Bessie's the pool area was lovely and relaxing we enjoyed the music. Really friendly staff we enjoyed snacks at the pool bar. Its a beautiful area. Gorgeous sunsets at the local restaurants. We travelled on the bus to Argostoli for an evening out. Also went to lassi beach a couple of times. The water was crystal clear and lots of water sports on offer. The room was a good size. Could do with updating but we knew it was 2 star. Huge balcony to sit out on. Hope to return one day. Thank you

We grabbed a last minute cheap break and were pleasantly surprised. Within walking distance of a beach and a handful restaurants and a supermarket. Be warned it is on a steep hill which you have to use wherever you go . Nice snack bar and clean pool exceptionally near to the airport so a lot of planes flying over it . Beds were comfy , bedding changed about every 3 days . Bins emptied everyday but very little else done,place wasnt gleaming,stairs definitelyneeded a sweep .Kitchenette not very well equipped but we dont go on holiday to cook meals . Kefalonia is big (as Greek Islands go ) We caught a bus into town it runs on a circular circuit bus stop is close to the hotel but decided to hire a car which we did locally to the hotel easy to do and cheap Wouldwe return ? possibly but not for 2 weeks as not a lot to do locally . Have rated it taking into consideration what we paid otherwise would have given it 3 stars

This was our second visit ..last year was great,loved it,..sadly due to noise,dust,and zero privacy due to a v large construction taking place literally 10-15yds from patio area it was horrible,its 12 hrs a day 7 days a week,only privacy was if you shut the curtains and kept door shut,removing almost all natural light,it was like living in a container unit,we were offered a different room but the whole of the site is effected to a greater or lesser degree,and the room we were offered was by car park at village entrance..so no privacy again The staff were sympathetic..I think they've heard it man many times already Reported it to TUI..no response and pointed out they should warn people as this building is going on all year,and early season next year Safe to say we won't be going back,as that lovely little beach is likely to be ram packed the amount of people this new build will accommodate

The best thing about this place is watching the planes take off and land. The rooms need to be updated - TUI said all their rooms had been renovated, that is not the case. They are a good size but are very basic, including having a shower curtain that sticks to you as you shower. Bedding and towels all very clean. You need to take washing up liquid, tea towels and scourers. Clean towels and sheets are changed every 3 days but apart from the bins being emptied daily, no cleaning is done. Drinks and food at the pool bar are reasonably priced. Its a good 5 min walk to the end of the drive to Bessies Village, you can turn right to go up to the supermarket and a restaurant (another 10 mins up quite a steep slope ) or turn left to go to the nearest restaurant, downhill another 10 mins. The owner is lovely and the whole place is all very clean but if we went there again we would have to hire a car to get around. Best day out was booked thru Get my guide - a day trip around Kefalonia. It cost £25 per person and was very good value.

Me and my husband stayed at bessies village for 2 weeks, we hired a quad to explore the whole island, upon arrival, Georgia was amazing showed us to our room and nothing for our whole stay was too much trouble, she works so hard as do all her family. When we'd return from our trips out we'd chill around the pool, lovely. Bear in mind there is building work, didnt disturb us, and at the end of the they have to build somewhere eh. Room was basic, but clean, beds very comfy. we basically had everything we needed for our 2 week stay, bear in mind though, there is no oven or toaster, so we bought a cheap toaster from the supermarket, we managed to cook breakfast before our travels, beach is a short walk away, a very ample shop, 5 mins walk, turn right from the hotel, bus was 10 mins walk, turn left, the area itself, has few restaurants, and bars, which we found quite expensive eating out, as your a captive audience!! But ammes hotel at the end of the run, was fab, isabella who owns it, does a wonderful job x Because we hired a quad, we could venture a little further, just a heads up if your wanting a little bit more nightlife! All in all we had a fantastic stay, thank you Georgia and family xxx
