The Magnolia Resort

This hotel is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. The location is great - a quick ten minute walk to the beach with its crystal clear sea and amazing restaurants. Only a few minutes walk to the nearest shop. The team at the hotel are so friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is a perfect way to start the day. Sitting by the pool at the hotel is calm and you can get a drink from the bar / some lunch if you please. I used the gym whilst I was here which was also a bonus. The rooms are spacious, as is the bed! It was great to have a balcony to chill out on too. As the hotel is adult only and not too big, it felt personal and the atmosphere was not loud. Katelios is beautiful and a real opportunity to soak up sun and swim in some of the nicest sea. You can also hire a car from the hotel if you wanted to explore the island further for a couple of days. I solo travel and felt really comfortable here. Thank you!

Another super holiday at the Magnolia, we were there for 11 nights, greetings on arrival were warm and friendly and after check in we were shown to our room and had everything explained to us. The room was very clean and complimentary bottled water, plus tea and coffee were supplied. The hotel and bar areas were spotlessly clean and the staff very friendly. We would highly recommend this hotel if you want a quiet relaxing holiday with a good choice of places to eat a short walk away

I recently went with three other girlfriends, we were some of the first visitors for this season. We had two twin rooms which were very spacious with bottles of water and free safe. We had a lovely balcony with mountain views and it was all very peaceful. The pool area was very spacious and the bar staff excellent, bringing your drinks over to your sun bed. Easy walk into town for your evening meals. Bar snacks available at lunchtime at the hotel. Buffet breakfast really good and plentiful. Beach front easily accessible and beautiful. Trips across the island were fabulous and easily accessible from the hotel or nearby bus stop. Bus trips available from bus stop within easy walking distance from the hotel. Adults only which is great. Would highly recommend this hotel and would love to return but fully booked for this season!

Just spent a week at this beautiful family run hotel. What can I say? The owners are amazing... a very close knit family who take great care of the hotel and their guests. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we were always greeted with a warm, friendly smile and positive attitude. They are a truly beautiful family... 3 generations all working together. The hotel is immaculate... spotlessly clean and very stylish. Breakfast was fabulous, and although listed as a "continental" breakfast, did also offer bacon, sausages, eggs, beans. If u had to pick a star of the show, it would be a close call between "grandma" (who was always there working from first thing in the morning until late at night), and the charming Alex, who can turn his hand to anything. They have a small car rental business, which Alex deals with. He was helpful beyond words. It was our first time in Kefalonia and I would rate it as the best holiday experience I have ever experienced; partly due to the amazing location and friendly locals, and partly due to the wonderful hotel and it's staff. Anyone wanting a truly relaxing holiday, I highly recommend staying at The Magnolia Resort. P. S. Final word... On leaving all guests were given a small gift by the owner... A shell turtle as a reminder of this beautiful place. Very special indeed.

Adult only family run boutique resort. Very peaceful and private, but close enough to walk to vibrant restaurants for delicious local produce in the evenings. Always sun beds available at any time of the day. A varied bar lunch menu and a wide variety of drinks available at the bar. Breakfasts had a variety of fresh food, constantly being monitored and topped up by the chef. We found Magnolia perfect for our type of holiday, but would not suit anyone expecting lots of high octane Greek entertainment.
