My Review of The Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My fiancé Gregory and I recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa and I can honestly say it transformed our holiday. After a few disheartening setbacks in our trip—including some canceled wedding-planning appointments and a rural stay that left me at the mercy of every mosquito in Kefalonia (my legs must have been the region’s five-star buffet)—we were in desperate need of some reprieve and restoration. It was during a late morning internet search that I stumbled upon this gem of a hotel, and from the moment I made contact, the experience was seamless. The customer service was nothing short of exceptional—impeccable attention to detail, genuine warmth, and world-class hospitality from the very first email. I was fortunate enough to speak with DANAE, who truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was prompt, thoughtful, and full of empathy. I explained our situation and that I wanted to surprise my fiancé —who was feeling quite low, especially as it was his birthday—with a one-night escape. DANAE ensured every detail was handled discreetly and efficiently, all with such professionalism and care. We arrived that very same day, and despite the last-minute nature of the booking, everything was arranged perfectly. From the beautifully appointed sea view room with a private balcony and access to the spa and wellness facilities, every element was designed to soothe and uplift. As an ex-London squad swimmer, having access to a pristine swimming pool was a huge bonus, especially after struggling to swim during our rural stay. But the highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the surprise birthday dinner. The hotel arranged a perfect chocolate cake, complete with a candle and a heartfelt chorus of “Happy Birthday” from the staff—not flashy or forced, but authentic and sincere, which made the moment incredibly special. It was the first time in days I saw my partner truly relax and smile. The gastronomic experience at the hotel was divine. Dinner and breakfast were both outstanding—the chef’s culinary artistry and the entire restaurant team’s gracious service deserve special recognition. I wish I could remember all their names but everyone of them was special in their own way and I want them to know that when they read this. The food was both elegant and nourishing, and catered perfectly to our preferences. What an incredible chef! Every interaction with staff—from the housekeeping team who maintained the room to perfection, to the general manager who checked in on guests personally—reflected a commitment to excellence and heartfelt hospitality. We originally booked for one night, but it became immediately clear that one night wasn’t enough. I inquired about extending our stay, knowing the hotel was nearly fully booked, and once again, the team rose to the occasion. With transparency, flexibility, and genuine care, they managed to rearrange things and offered us the opportunity to extend our stay by three more nights. It felt, quite honestly, like a gift from the Greek Gods themselves. We spent the rest of our holiday enjoying every inch of this boutique haven—the short walk to Ammes Beach with its crystal clear waters, the tranquil spa downstairs, the glorious food, and the joy of being surrounded by a team that truly understands what luxury hospitality is all about. We left feeling restored, healthier, and happier than we had in months. This wasn’t just a hotel stay—it was a lifeline and a celebration. We’re still planning our wedding, and I can only dream of returning here one day to celebrate it. If I won the lottery, there is no question where we would say “I do.” Until then, I will remain forever grateful for the magic of The Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa and to the entire team who made our stay so unforgettable. To anyone reading this and considering staying here: don’t hesitate. Book it. Treat yourself. You’ll be so glad you did.
