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

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

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!

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
