Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa

I don’t even know where to start, this place was so perfect. From check in to check out, everything was so smooth. We had to change rooms due a broken curtain rail on our 2nd night and Marialena dealt with it brilliantly. Our first room was a two storey one bed overlooking the greenery. It was so beautiful, with a lovely private pool , surrounding gardens and fab balcony with two loungers. Our second room was a two bed villa overlooking the sea - just wow! The view was breathtaking. The beds are incredibly comfortable with soft white linen and plump pillows. Bathrooms luxurious with lovely natural full size products. The sevice is 5* plus. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and made a real effort to stop and chat. We became very fond of the restaurant staff over the week. All in all, we can’t wait to return. Food was glorious, particularly the breakfasts.

We first visited Eliamos in 2023 and couldn't wait to return in 2024. The staff are amazing and the resort brings together the best aspects of a villa with all the services of a boutique hotel ... highly recommended

Eliamos is a beautiful and intimate property. The rooms are huge and have a great private pool - you won’t want to leave. The highlight is the restaurant. We are almost every meal there and never got tired of it. The best food with local ingredients and a diverse menu. The breakfast was one of best we have ever had. We didn’t use the gym or spa but both looked great too. It’s on a secluded part of the island so a rental car is a must for exploring. See Antisamos Beach and Melissani Caves. Not a “kid focused” hotel, but they were great with our kids.

We booked the 'Presidential Suite' for 2 nights after a wonderful stay at Eliamos Hotel and Spa on Kefalonia, what a mistake! As seasoned travellers who like to stay in wonderful properties we were very disappointed - this accommodation is not 5 Star and does not warrant the room rate. Our first experience was a cross looking man at the gate who was trying to tell us where to park. He didn't speak any English and we aren't as arrogant to assume the world speaks our language BUT as a first point of contact for guests maybe have a welcoming, smiling member of staff with some English. We arrived early and asked for our bags to be stored until check in, the hotel kindly advised that the suite was nearly ready and offered us breakfast, not expected nor necessary but welcomed. We were eventually taken in a golf buggy to the suite, our hearts sank: - the interior furnishings were old, dated and looked a bit grubby, - the suite smelt like it hadn't been used for a while, - there was an odd mismatch of outdoor furniture. The huge sunbeds had cheap plastic covers which meant they got extremely hot, - the parasol was ridiculously small and had clearly seen better days, - the fixed benches had not been well maintained, paint chipped off and ants under the cushions (I expect some ants but not to this degree), - the concrete into the pool also had not been maintained, - we had to ask for the pool to be cleaned, - the jacuzzi was broken, - part of the roof had fallen down and had not been fixed, - electric wall sockets were hanging out of the wall, - the electric opening/closing curtains did not fill the windows, allowing early morning light in, - the showers were poorly finished. The pictures on their website were clearly taken a very long time ago and are not a true representation of the suite. We love dogs but the constant barking from the village below was too much, as were the 15-20 flights a day passing overhead as they came into land. Not at all peaceful. The staff are really lovely but how they are taught to attend to guests is too regimented. The host at breakfast couldn't cope with our simple request of pushing 2 tables together for the 3 of us to sit at, and made us feel quite uncomfortable with a restaurant full of people looking on (the restaurant did have tables for 4 but had stupidly low benches which were impossible to eat at). We expressed our dissatisfaction to 'management' (not entirely sure who was who because there was so many of them). They got the pool cleaned, advised dinner in the buffet restaurant was on the hotel and accommodated our late check out but they weren't really interested... we were not their usual clientele. Thoroughly disappointing.

We booked Eliamos in concert with other family members as we headed to Kefalonia for a family wedding. What a wonderful place! The view, villas, pools, restaurant/spa, and especially the service were casually exceptional. We will find a way back very soon!

Absolutely Gorgeous! Everything in the hotel is sustainable and looks like part of the gorgeous nature surrounding it; flowers and herbs are planted everywhere, attracting many beautiful butterflies, some bees, and some cute insects (nothing scary!). The Amos villa is very nice, spatial, and very comfortable with an espresso machine and useful kitchen utilities. The staff is super polite and nice, and the service is very efficient, and they treat their guests with extra care! The food is great, the breakfast menu especially is very diverse which is superb! The lunch and dinner menus are smaller but the quality isn't compromised. On checkout, we got a small box of herbs, honey, and olive oil when left, which was super cute! Certainly the most beautiful hotel we've been to! ＜3
