Aeolos Beach Hotel

The best thing we can say about this great hotel is it felt like home from the first moment you stepped in through the reception doors to be met by Angela and Chris , the couple who own and manage the place. And unlike other hotels they certainly do manage it themselves tougher with their team of great staff. Micheal at the bar is a barman secondment to none and everyone else at the hotel also works extremely hard to make your holiday one to remember, obviously at present they are working under very difficult circumstances but step right up to the mark, the place is spotless all day every day , cleanser in every room and new breakfast protocols for COVID-19, they serve you at your table. The pool area is great with very comfortable beds placed well spaced and socially distanced. Our holiday here was one of the best we’ve had in Europe and this hotel and it’s staff were a very large part in creating that holiday, it’s well place in an excellent part of Kefalonia, Skala is a great place to base yourself. Get a car and tour the island , the beaches and scenery are second to none . Great hotel in a great resort on a fantastic island, but most of all with great people . Thanks for a great holiday all at Aeolos Beach Hotel we will be back . Richard & Allyson

We weren't sure what to expect as we usually stay in bigger establishments. The Covid situation changed our plans as so many were either closed or offering a reduced service for the same money around things like food. Chris and Angela run a great hotel and offer the sort of personal touch that I doubt you will find in many other places around the world let alone in Kefalonia. They seemed to remember everyone's names on site. Nothing was ever too much for them and the service at breakfast was excellent. Every member of staff adhered to the islands covid regulations around face mask wearing and we never felt at risk at any point. It's clear that people come back to this hotel time and time again and should we visit Kefalonia again it will certainly be at the top of our list. The pool and bar area are perfect for relaxing around and the proximity to the beach was fantastic. Barely a three minute walk. It is also nicely placed on the edge of Skala leaving it close enough for an easy stroll to the centre and far enough away for completely peaceful nights. Thank you for everything.

After cancelling our planned trip to Spain due to 14 day quarantine requirement we decided to go to Greece and booked flights to Kefalonia 3 days before we flew purely based on what flights were available. A quick search on the internet for accommodation and Aeolos Beach Hotel came up and appeared to suit our needs and from the write ups we felt lucky to be able to book so late. Aeolos Beach Hotel is a small, friendly hotel nicely perched on the hillside over looking the beach at the end of the resort. It has fabulous views and yet just a couple of minutes walk from the beach. A perfect location for us. Travelling with my wife and 2 teenage boys we were greeted by Angela and her husband Chris and given a briefing of the hotel and how they were managing COVID then shown our rooms adjacent reception. First impressions were really good. The whole place was immaculately clean, tidy and well kept. We felt from the first few moments we had stumbled upon a gem of a place. Chris, Angela, their family and staff have been wonderful hosts and could not have done more to make our stay more safe, comfortable and enjoyable. Due to COVID the normal self service buffet breakfast was served expertly by Chris as were all drinks from the bar to your table. The small team worked extremely hard to ensure all guests were well looked after. The service is 5 star and nothing is too much trouble. A sign of a good place can often be the number of returning guests and conversations with others around the hotel revealed many had several visits under their belts. We certainly felt like newbies! If you are looking for a place to relax in immaculate accommodation, with excellent service in a fabulous beach resort all at a great price you need look no further. Would we come back? In a heartbeat! PS. I hope to see Chris and Angela without masks next time so we know what they look like! They did not take their masks off in all the time we were there. The Greeks are serious about his horrible virus! Chris, Angela and team, Thank you so much to you all! Kefalonia is our new favourite Greek Island.
