Small resort hotel , great place and not crazy busy even when full. Lovely pool and good local beaches that are walkable

Vacation

Everything about this hotel is amazing — food, environment, service, pool, and location. The only thing it is missing is a view and the lighting inside the rooms were a bit dark. The location is authentic Greek — surrounded by farms and small towns, with easy access to beaches.

Avithos resort looks as good as the photos. Chose this resort because of the kitchenette so that I could make food in the apartment and it didn’t disappoint. The kitchen has everything you need, except they don’t provide washing up liquid and sponge. It was lovely sitting out on the balcony for dinner or a drink. The local tavernas do takeaway food if you don’t feel like cooking but want to eat at the apartment. The swimming pool area is lovely and relaxing, no fight for sunbeds and plenty of sunny spots. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is fairly rural and there is no centre to walk around in the evenings - just pitch black lanes, but there are restaurants nearby so plenty of places to eat. The nearby beach at Ai Helis is beautiful and only a 15 minute walk. Would recommend a car if staying for more than a couple of days.

This is the second time I have been to Avithos resort. It is a quiet, spotless and friendly space in beautiful gardens. The pool is wonderful, surrounded by plenty of sun loungers . There is a small children’s pool too Breakfast was delicious, with many Greek options to choose from. Really sets you up for the day. The food at the bar is nice too, for a snack or convenient meal. However, there are beautiful local tavernas nearby. We especially enjoyed Espirides, and the lower restaurant at the beach Svoronata is a quiet somewhat isolated area, but transport is not a problem if you have not hired a car. There is a regular bus service to Argostoli , Avithos runs an efficient and regular transport service to the beach and in the local area Taxis can be booked easily, as can local tours of the island and boat trips Our room was spacious, well appointed, and clean. I was disappointed that tea and coffee are not provided daily only on arrival. Even the most beautiful setting can be spoilt if staff are inattentive or unprofessional This is certainly not to be said for Avithos. The staff made the stay even more special. I would especially like to mention the young people behind the bar, and in reception. They were all helpful , friendly, happy , and very professional. I would certainly go back to Avithos resort again. A special place on a the very special island of Cephalonia

Relaxing stay in paradise

Perfect relaxing stay. Lovely pool and staff. Nothing to complain about.

Great place and we will be back

Wonderful place to stay and great service from all the staff.

The design of the hotel is nice, rooms are spacious and well designed. The service is not so great. Staff were rude, specially front desk, they never say hello Or goodbye whenever you walk by it, they didn't try to Help , they didn't give us any hint/recommendations about the island. They are just there and useless. The pool food menu is also very week, they should have fingers food; tzaziki, veggies, mezze…even tacos instead of burgers and pasta… overall the hotel is good because.. other than the staff inexperience in Hospitality, rooms and facilities are great

Reception staff friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and good size. Pool bar was a little expensive and service a bit slow but good food and drink quality and selection.

A great stay n the Avithos Resort

The Avithos Resort is perfect for a relaxing break. I cannot fault anything- the staff are helpful and friendly; the accommodation is modern and clean and the pool and grounds are wonderfully kept. There is a supermarket approx. 10 min walk away, Esperides restaurant close by and the beach and 2 tavernas around a 15-20 min walk away. We will be back again for sure!

Highly recommended great base to explore and relax

Fantastic from start to finish’ couldn’t fault anything at all

The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the place looks immaculate. Beds very comfortable and the room well equipped and stylish.

General facilities eg pools, pool bar, pool furniture, room furniture including a very comfortable bed

Perfect family friendly hotel in Kefalonia

Avithos Resort is a excellent option for people wanting to stay close to town and other great areas without being right in the thick of it all. We stayed for 5 days and would happily stay there again. We had a renovated room which was lovely and I would assume they will be renovating the rest of the rooms in the winter months. I think we would have been disappointed if we had got a non renovated room as the improvements they have made are worth it. Lots of families were staying here which didn’t bother us but it does mean your sharing the pool with a lot of children. Highly recommend you have a hire car for the entire stay unless you plan on not leaving the hotel much, then there is the option of taking the bus. Overall a great hotel to stay at. Housekeeping was okay but missed refilling supplies on a few days but this is minor and can be fixed.

Perfect Kefalonia relaxed stay

Very good resort

Excellent friendly staff in a beautiful area of Kefalonia

Nothing was too much trouble and staff were very attentive

Exceptionally friendly and helpful reception staff

We had a lovely stay at avithos resort. Very clean, tidy and lovely gardens. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is very quiet with no entertainment, but perfect for relaxing. There are a few bars/restaurants within 15 minutes walk but a car is ideal to explore local beaches etc

Friendly staff, lovely pool, quiet location. Perfect to relax

Loved avithos

We missed one night due to a cancelled flight so they upgraded our room for our second night. Lady at the reception was quite lovely.

Beautiful resort

Absolutely amazing, everything was 5* plus. What more can i say. We had a fabulous week. Can't wait to go back.

Great hotel,lovely staff couldn’t do enough for you. 10/15 mins walk to the beach.

We had a last minute booking with Avithos Resort and they were ready for us when we showed up. The room had all new furnishings and the bathroom in particular was great with rock on the floors, wall, and in the shower. The kitchenette was perfect for cooking light meals and breakfast. The large bed and fold out bed were perfect for our family of four.

A quiet, comfortable, clean and pretty resort. Staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgable about where to visit in Kefalonia, what restaurants to go to etc. The beaches down the road are worth a visit and within walking distance.

A comfortable and relaxing stay at a near-perfect apartments hotel. The staff are exceptional in their friendliness and desire to do everything to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms, the pool, the breakfasts and the pool bar are lovely and there are two beautiful beaches and several good restaurants within easy walking distance. For exploring further to see the most spectacular parts of the island a car is essential, but if you just want to relax it’s easy to manage without, as the hotel is only a few miles from the airport.

Avithos resort is a very comfortable place to stay. I stayed here for 3 nights on my first visit to Kefalonia. It is amazing and the location was suitable. The staff were very helpful and always at hand to support us. I cannot really forget the amazing breakfast - omelette and Greek coffee etc were very good. I want to also mention Kyriakos at the reception and all the other ladies. They were awesome and helped us enjoy our stay.

Nice resort 1/2 mile from best beach on island

Beach only 1/2 a mile away - very easy access. Hotel itself was quiet as we went towards the end of the season but was nevertheless very pleasant

Wonderful Hotel

Wonderful hotel with very helpful and friendly staff, nothing was too much effort. It is what it says on the tin, a lovely quiet location close to a couple of nice sandy beaches and local Taverna's. Swimming Pool and pool facilities also excellent. Rooms clean, tidy, spacious and well equipped.

Really nice hotel

Close to three beaches. Good amenities, could cook in your room if you wanted to. Lovely pool, if a little cold some days. Elizabeth at the pool food/bar really helpful and saved me sometimes as didn't find much veggie food in the tavernas.

Quiet location, perfect for a relaxing holiday

Immaculately kept grounds , very nice pool area which never seemed to be over-crowded, always available sunbeds. Few tavernas within walking distance and one of the best beaches on the island nearby

Peace and tranquility.

Before we went to stay at Avithos we read all the reviews and were worried we might be the only ones to not appreciate the hotel.... we needn't have worried ! It is what everyone says. The hotel is immaculately clean, the staff couldn't be more friendly and the hotel has a calm about it we hadn't experienced anywhere before. If you want a quiet and relaxing holiday on a wonderful island, this is the choice.

Another fab stay at the Avithos Resort!

Our second stay and it was even better than we remembered. Very peaceful holiday, all immaculately and lovingly maintained with super staff. Everyone so friendly and keen to please. A model resort which sets a fine example in the hospitality business. We'll be returning!

Lovely quiet relaxing hotel, close to two beaches

This was our first time in Kefalonia and it won't be our last. Quiet, relaxing with excellent restaurants within walking distance.

Nice apartment abond location

We stayed here for 10 days and firstly the staff are very welcoming. Anything that you need or don't know how things work they were there straightaway. Also very helpful in organising trips and decent prices and recommendations for eating out too. Plus added bonus was the location. Walking distance to some amazing beaches. Lastly the place was well maintained. Rooms were cleaned everyday and you also got a feel of the local ambience. Would definitely go there again

Ok but pricey.

They really need to have the AC on all the time. It gets way to hot in the room when you leave. Pool was nice. People working there were helpful. Expensive stay and food for the location. Should be about 80-90 euro a night.

okay

Avithos is a nice hotel. But there are better ones.

Ideal Place to stay for touring Kefalonia

We were pleased with our stay at Avithos.It is ideally placed just 7 minutes from the airport.Being that close does not mean you are going to hear the 'planes taking off and landing-you will see them at nearby Beach however.You can walk to the beautiful nearby beach from the Hotel and it is well worth a visit. The rooms were clean and tidy and the facilities around the hotel were well cared for. The rooms were taken on a self catering basis but they are not really geared up for that.There is no toaster and I would have thought a welcome pack wouldn't go amiss.I would have thought that a washing up cloth and sponge would also be supplied. I thought the breakfast and drinks at the bar were expensive. The claening staff and receptionists were always cheerful and courteous.

Couldn't fault it

A beautiful hotel, kept clean, modern and the apartments are perfect for a couples holiday.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, near to the airport.

We booked this hotel for a holiday early in the season at the back end of May, before school holidays. The room was everything we hoped for, quiet, spacious, immaculately clean and the kitchen was adequately provided with utensils plates and bottle opener etc, for us to make breakfast and more if we had so desired. We ate breakfast on the balcony most mornings and if there was a down side it was that the balcony had no privacy which was a particular issue when the young women in the room next to us were out, as they chain smoked when on their balcony. The shower was a bit of a squeeze for me to get in and out but then I am a fairly large chap. The staff were as friendly and helpful as we could have wished for, all spoke good English and had many helpful suggestions when discussing where we were going. There is a nice pool, lounge area's and bar which in that part of the season always had plenty of space.There is a small shop within walking distance of the hotel which will have most of your needs covered. There was no evening meal available at the hotel whilst we were there however there is a choice of local restaurants. Spiro's is easily walkable from the hotel and very friendly, the Avithos Taverna a short drive or a long walk down at the beach is well worth a visit. The island was just waking up to the holiday season when we were there and some places were still closed. The hotel is very near the airport but aircraft noise was not apparent.

Quiet location with beaches close by

Comfortable stress free stay at a friendly hotel. Free wifi in public areas and in the room. A car would be if you wanted to travel around the island. The island is fairly quiet and driving is not a problem.

All staff friendly and service great.

Hotel was great, very clean and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. Only slight surprise was they didn't do any meals, Avithos is slightly remote but there were still several great local restaurants.

Quiet location and beautiful beaches.

Excellent resort with very high standard of cleanliness. Nothing was too much trouble for staff. Lifts to and from local tavernas every night was a bonus. Lovely beaches near by. Hired a car and saw most of island but very pleased to be staying in Avithos.

Pleasant stay

quality of service is top-notch. it is very quiet too. you can hear the rooster crowing in the morning when you wake up. they provide a huge variety of food in their breakfast, although it is the typical greek food that you would expect. to experience greek food, you will have to go to the nearby tavernas. they provide complimentary service to nearby places including the restaurants. some things to consider: they only have a beach bar and they food that you get there is only average. the beds were too hard for us, but we managed. the shower room was too small.

Brilliant hotel with excellent staff

The most friendliest and accomadating staff you will ever meet!! The hotel was clean and comfortable with a nice swimming pool. Close to the beach and airport. Car rentals was easily available. I will definitely stay here again!!

Clean and family friendly.

Clean friendly family environment. The staff went out of their way to help to arrange excursions, lunch to the nearest restaurant, arrange taxi transport or even drive you to the beach. Beautiful gardens and overall our stay very enjoyable. Car hire can be arranged through the hotel . Beach and restaurants are a ten minute walk and airport 15 Euro ride.

One week not enough!!

Extremely enjoyable,very relaxing,very friendly hotel staff.will go back next summer for sure.

Nice resort in a quiet area

Lovely resort which ticked lots of boxes for me. Two beautiful sandy beaches within 15 minutes walk, 4 tavernas all within walking distance and a comfortable professional resort which more than lives up to its reputation. It's a quiet place though and so is the locale - if you want nightlife then this isn't the place for you. If you want golden beaches with turquoise crystal clear waters and some good, very reasonably prices places to eat nearby then this is perfect. Lovely pool at the resort if you prefer to roll out of bed into the sun lounger.

Breathtaking views from The balcony!

We stayed at the hotel because we were buying on a villa in Kephalonia and still hadn't completed. The hotel was just lovely and all the gardens etc were beautifuully maintained. All the staff were courteous and really helpful and pleasant. We would have no dount recommending it to any friends or family. We stayed on a B & B basis which was perfect for us and breakfast was great. O/ur only gripe would be that we ticked the 'double bed' box but it was just two singles pushed together and we ended up sleeping seperately as we were fed up sleeping on the join! But overall hotel was just perfect.

The resort and surroundings.

The resort is very well laid out and surrounded with olive groves and citrus groves. It is close to the airport but you don't get any noise or aircraft passing over. It is on it's own and not much going on around it. Perfect for couples without children. The pool,bar and gardens are fastidiously maintained and are beautiful. The rooms spacious and cleaned everyday. There is a little mini market close by for provisions and 2 rather excellent restaurants right on the beach. Just perfect.

Excellent value

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Avithos Resort. It's conveniently situated near to Avithos beach with 2 Taverna's and a local shop also within a 10 minute walk. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The pool and garden areas are immaculately kept. As we visited in low season the resort was peaceful and very relaxing and excellent value for money. I imagine it can get very busy in the high season which would impact on the tranquility but none the less I would highly recommend it!
