Leivathos Vacation Rentals

"Amazing retreat with so many choices for activities especially the yoga. Breakfast was delicious and the private beach area was lovely and relaxing. "

"I stayed at Barefoot Contessa in mid-June 2025. I was holidaying as a solo traveller which I have only done a few times before and so was very anxious leading up to the trip. I needn’t have worried as I had an amazing week. The resort/village and apartments were both fantastic and the staff at Barefoot Contessa/Hemingways were always really friendly and helpful: Dimitra, Olga and Spiros and co. The apartment was really lovely and clean. Comfortable and nicely furnished. Good shower and bathroom. It has everything you would need including a small oven/grill and two rings - although I didn’t actually cook as there are a small number of good restaurants very near by including Hemingways bay-restaurant just a few seconds walk away. The apartment is literally a stone’s throw from a really beautiful beach - mainly sandy with crystal clear waters and backed by the most beautiful mountainous scenery. It is literally 2 mins walk from the apartment - possibly less! The village itself is beautiful and was not at all crowded. It suits anyone looking for a quiet, scenic and relaxing break from daily life. I would thoroughly recommend Barefoot Contessa. "

"I loved the room and amenities! The staff were also very nice and helpful."

"We were staying with our young baby and requested a travel cot months ago. On check in I asked about the travelcot, they had forgotten but would find one. The travelcot they provided did not come with the original mattress, they told us it had been misplaced and instead had put a soft foam mattress which was too big for the cot and came up the sides. We explained that this was not safe for the baby to sleep and asked for a different travel cot but they did not have one. My husband went back to the front desk to try and find a solution and a staff member came into our room without knocking whilst I was changing my baby. They were trying to put an oversized fleece blanket in the cot and said that would do and 'tutted' when I said it wasn't safe. Eventually we just asked them to leave and we tried to put our baby to sleep in the cot without a mattress but he woke up several times and was very distressed. The second night he woke up crying after a couple of hours and we decided to try and put him into our bed which wasn't what we wanted to do but he then slept through. Avoid if you are traveling with a small child/baby, they do not care about safe sleeping practices. The views were amazing, the room was clean although small but unfortunately the lack of a safe sleeping space for our baby ruined the last 2 nights of our holiday."

"The Celestial All Suites in Kefalonia is nothing short of exceptional. Perched in a stunning location with breathtaking sea views, the hotel offers an atmosphere of pure luxury and tranquility. The spacious, beautifully designed suites, many with private pools are impeccably clean and havr superb attention to detail. The staff are warm, attentive, and go above and beyond to make every stay special. The on-site restaurant is both quality and the setting is amazing, and the serene spa adds an extra touch of indulgence. A perfect retreat for a romantic getaway or a relaxing escape. "

"Eliamos was wonderful. Thoroughly recommend it. "

"We only stayed here one nigth to break our stay before traveling to the other side of Kefalonia. It was perfect, just what we were looking for. Rooms are very nice, the place is cool looking, the staff very friendly and the restaurant was very good. The view was relaxing as well. Also there were a few charming little restaurants close by. "

"It is rare to find a hotel where the facility is maintained in excellent shape and the staff is as friendly and helpful as in this hotel. they truly went out of their way (with no exceptions) to make us feel welcome and comfortable. "
