Barefoot Contessa

Our second visit here & there is much to love about it - the cleanliness of the apartment, the wonderful balcony with a panoramic view, the proximity to Lourdas’s beach & restaurants. Just a couple of things would make a difference. There is very little storage space for your clothes & living out of a suitcase is not great when you have paid a lot of money for the accommodation. Underneath the tv in the bedroom is a huge space & could easily fit a chest of drawers which would make all the difference. On 2 occasions our room wasn’t cleaned. The maids knocked the door before 10am & didn’t come back because we didn’t let them in. We are on holiday & want time to wake up & enjoy our breakfast on the balcony. We didn’t expect to be held to a time schedule. In saying that the positives outweigh the negatives & undoubtedly we will be back.

Wonderful apartments on the beach front .. spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and hard working, we had clean linen every other day, fresh towels daily and a deep clean every other day which was welcome as being on the beach and try as you might to not get sand in the apartment there is still always a little bit. Free parking, a wonderful restaurant and the most amazing views if a superior apartment is booked. We’ve had a wonderful time and Lourdas is a great base for getting around the island. We have booked to return to barefoot contessa next year. Absolutely no complaints from us on this wonderful accommodation.

Such an amazing place - back again in September for our third year. Such a warm welcome every time we come back. Nothing is too much trouble and they’re always so glad to welcome you back. Can’t think of anywhere I’d rather stay

Location of the accommodation was absolutely perfect along one of the best stretch of beaches on Kefalonia. The apartment itself was immaculate with everything you could want for a comfortable holiday. The staff at both the apartment and the beach bar were welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to offer help. The availability of food and drinks served at the bar was extensive and everything we ate and drank was freshly cooked and delicious as well as beautifully presented. We will definitely return!

Barefoot contessa was a perfect place to stay. Location was opposite the beach and behind Hemingway Rooms were spacious with kitchen area and bathrooms were reasonable. Shower at times felt claustrophobic with limited movement Bedroom had space to move. Housekeeping ladies were fantastic and did a great job, flexible and approachable, would help at a drop of a hat! This is not a 5 star hotel so do not expect linen to be changed daily which didn’t bother me at all, however would have liked the floors to be swept and bed just made for the day. Apart from that, totally recommend staying here! Even had a very cute little sitting area outside of each apartment.. I loved it here! Would suggest residents be offered free sun lounge and umbrellas out the front..

Nothing too relaxing very bad experience. If you choose that apartment in Lourdas you will get a minimum of equipment, bar very expensive and redness from owners. We ordered Greek salad but they give us without oil and olive no taste only veg Shame on you. The first time we have something like this. I do not know maybe you have a problem with people like us. The beach is beautiful and the seawater is amazing and the view is unforgettable with the mountain in the back of your place but you can get better accodomnetion in Lourdas than this. For the sunbed, you pay € 8 per day if you use it. Other than accommodation have or for free. Only one toaster for the whole 10 rooms??? Glass limits available. One little square kitchen towel to clean your dishes?? Most important the Air conditioning old fashion very old-fashioned and if you use makes horrible noise! the kitchen area yes has its windows but it's very warm, the owner should think about it. No that's enough. We could give more, that it's our opinion. We will be back with no option but no barefoot contessa We get information from different accordaminations and we notice the better place for that money. We travel a lot and we can compare, it poorly.
