Antonia Hotel

What an oasis of calm this was after all the turmoil of 2020! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the lovely owner who immediately poured a drink for us. He greeted us like a friend even though this was our first visit. The apartments, as others have said, are spotlessly clean and huge with every facility you would need. We were lucky that our room was on the top floor from where the view of the sea and surrounding countryside is idyllic. The location is wonderful and it's a 2metre walk down to the beach. There are some lovely restaurants literally a two minute walk from your door. This holiday was changed originally by TUI and we should have been staying in a different part of Lourdas but it worked out to our advantage that we managed to book here instead as I believe you would struggle to find anywhere nicer. Subtle precautions were in place with sanitising etc but in no way did it impact on our holiday and I can honestly say that we forgot all about the problems in the world. We will definitely come back as soon as we can.

Originally our holiday was cancelled and thankfully we were able to book into Antonia Studios, and we were so lucky that we could! When we checked into the hotel, we were greeted by the lady working on the bar who made it very easy to get to our room, and we were able to pay for the safe and the air conditioning as we got to the room (which was an absolute essential!). The view from our balcony in room 6 was sensational as you can see from the photos I’ve attached. Sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset each evening was an absolute must. The beds in the room were very comfortable and the room had a toaster, kettle and hot plate and pans/plates utensils to use. When we arrived, we also had water, juice and washing up liquid which was really nice. The pool at the hotel also was great as there were plenty enough sun beds for everyone there each day as a lot of people seemed to go to the beach or out for trips during the day. This was ideal as it meant we didn’t have to get up early to secure a sunbed for the day. The pool bar was also really good, the food was great and very good valued since you can definitely share almost everything between 2 people. We couldn’t recommend enough the Caesar salad and the fruit salad with yogurt and honey. The lady who worked the bar (I feel guilty that we didn’t get her name!) deserves a pay rise because she works so hard all throughout the day and always has a smile on her face and can’t do enough to help you. I can’t recommend Antonia Studios more to anyone, it was the perfect place to stay on the beautiful island of Kefalonia!

The accommodation is one of the best we Have visited. Everything is perfect:very very clean, Staff and owner very polite and helpful in everithing. The rooms are large and quiet. The beds very comfortable. The pool is large and spotless. But, the best is a view over the sea : You feel flying on the water and you smell the salty sea breeze from your balcony! It is unique paradise.
