Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa

Just had an 11 night stay at the hotel. The location was great for us nice short transfer, shop within walking distance and plenty of lovely tavernas scattered around. We did have a car which made it easier. The staff are incredible so friendly and always had smiles on their faces. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean with fresh towels and coffee pods replaced daily. Beds and pillows were delightful. We only had breakfast which was lovely with eggs cooked to order. The coffee wasn’t to my taste and was lukewarm and the fruit option could have been changed up but all in all a good buffet breakfast in a chilled atmosphere due to the number of guests it never felt crazy busy like some places. Pool area is lovely always had beds available although they were not very comfortable for a 5* hotel and are not the wooden ones with mattresses as shown on many of the photographs. The planes do fly directly above the hotel and are loud for a few seconds but we enjoyed watching them and there are not that frequent. They can be heard from the rooms and latest we heard one was 11pm and earliest around 8am. The building site next door was the only bugbear we knew about it as we were informed before we arrived. We were told work would finish around 3pm daily but in reality it was 6pm we were also told we wouldn't hear it from our room. We could hear drilling and hammering when in the room with the balcony door closed but it was loudest when around the pool. We did get used to it but it would have been so much more relaxing without the noise. All in all we had a fabulous stay and would return I just hope that with the extension to the hotel it doesn’t lose the boutique feel and personal touches that made it a great place to stay.

I had such a wonderful experience at the spa today. Although I’m not staying at the hotel, I booked a massage and I’m so glad I did. My massage therapist, Antonia, was absolutely incredible. She was so friendly and kind, and gave one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I usually go for strong Thai massages, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from a relaxing massage, but it was fantastic. The pressure was perfect, and she really helped ease the pain and tension in my back. I left feeling so much better. I’d also like to thank the lovely receptionist who welcomed me when I arrived. She and Antonia were both so warm and friendly, and they made me feel completely at ease. They also arranged for me to enjoy the sauna and steam room after my treatment, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. Before my massage, I had lunch by the pool, and it was absolutely delicious. The food tasted incredibly fresh, the setting was beautiful, and the service was excellent. A thank you to Chris, who was so helpful and happy to offer advice for the rest of my stay in Kefalonia. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kefalonia. Even if you’re not staying there, it’s well worth booking a spa treatment and enjoying lunch. I’ll definitely be back!

I came here for a week in June with my husband. It delivered on every level. The view was incredible: purple sunsets, clear blue skies. The pace of life was calm and soothing. The food was delicious (we did half board and thought it was excellent value for money). The facilities were great: main pool was pretty, there were always plenty of sun loungers and you could have cocktails (/wonderful draught Alfa beers) delivered to you while you read a book. Other guests were generally respectful of the atmosphere - no loud conversations etc. - and that really helped contribute to the ambiance. The staff could not have been more friendly. The gym was decent enough for a week of workouts. You can take your pool towels down to the beach (where two sun loungers can be yours for 20€ per day) and if you want to rent bikes or a car, the concierge can arrange for them to be delivered to the hotel for you. If you’re looking for a stunning view, excellent facilities, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, then you would struggle to find much better than this. It’s worth knowing that there are 4-15 flights per day that go overhead, but you get used to them and they don't run late into the night or early in the morning! Oh, and you can get to Argostoli by bus (30ish mins) and the bus stop is 100m from the hotel. Taxis from the airport are mysteriously 20€ (even though it's a 5 min journey) but some drivers are amenable to haggling. If you don’t want to eat lunch at the hotel every day, you can grab a sandwich and a beer from Tropicana, also about 100m from the hotel.

Our stay at Electra Kefalonia had some truly good moments. The hotel is beautiful, with modern and very comfortable rooms, complemented by a high-end infrastructure. The breakfast is excellent, and the location offers stunning views. The highlight of our stay was definitely the friendliness of the entire staff, who were consistently warm and welcoming. A special thanks to the bar team, who were always helpful, attentive, and provided impeccable service throughout our time there. The only downside was that, at certain points, some 'hotel policies' hindered the flow of our experience. These internal rules felt a bit rigid and didn't always align with the helpfulness of the staff or the relaxing atmosphere the hotel aims to provide. If these policies were more flexible to prioritize the guest experience, the stay would be flawless.

From the moment we checked into Electra Hotel and Spa, this boutique hotel delivered pure relaxation, excellent food and some of the best hospitality we’ve ever experienced. The hotel beautifully balances high-end modern elegance with a calm, friendly but intimate atmosphere. What truly makes Electra unforgettable is its team. The customer service here isn’t just professional; it feels genuinely warm and personalised. A massive shoutout to Kosmos and Christos! Their outstanding customer service completely made our trip. They went above and beyond every single day to ensure we had everything we needed, as did all the staff. They became our absolute go-to guides for exploring the island. Their recommendations led us to some of the most incredible, authentic restaurants Kefalonia has to offer. Their insider knowledge saved us hours of guessing and ensured every evening meal was a highlight in itself. Thanos the restaurant manager went above and beyond to make sure my daughter and husband’s birthdays were celebrated in style with a champagne breakfast and a homemade birthday cake each. Between the stunning hotel and the unforgettable care from Kosmos, Christos, and the rest of the staff, we arrived as guests and truly felt like we left as friends. We cannot wait to return!
