Lagoon View Apartments - Adults Only

Our first time in Kefalonia but not our last, we’ve already booked for next year. Lagoon view apartments are a very small complex set in Lathkira, a village set above the capital Argostoli. The apartments are large with everything you could need for self catering, the balconies are also large so perfect for alfresco dining and chilling, lots of space for hanging washing which we did daily thanks to the washing machine in the apartment. The standard of the apartment was excellent, including the bathroom with a fantastic shower. The pool area is very clean and tidy, very peaceful and often just us or one more couple. Panos and Mary are on hand to make your stay as comfortable as possible, panos running the small pool bar and Mary preparing home cooked dinner to order with 24 hours notice. We hired a bike and toured all over the island, coming back to lagoon view was like coming home for rest and relaxation. We slept brilliantly, comfy beds and no noise other than the crickets. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance but a short drive takes you into the capital, this location also give you the freedom to catch the ferry to Lixouri very easily opening up the other side of kefalonia. Unless you plan to stay put here you will need a car but to be honest the island has so much to offer you would really be missing out if you didn’t explore. The roads are easy to navigate and the views as you cross the island are stunning. Thank you Panos and Mary, see you in 2026.

We have just returned after an amazing 11 night stay at Lagoon View apartments. We wanted a base where we could explore the island from and Lagoon View apartments are perfect. Panos is a great host - he knows when his guests are arriving and is there to meet everyone with a warm welcome. The apartments are clean, modern and have every amenity that you could want. My biggest suprise was the washing machine - being able to come home from holiday with a clean case of clothes for me is a game changer (sad but true!) We did our research beforehand and knew that car hire would be essential, not research enough though to realise that Panos actually has cars that he hires at a more competitive rate. We will definitely book through him next time! We have visited Greek islands many times and realise that when you are in an apartment (not a hotel), there is an expectation that there will be a charge for the air con and the room safe so it was not a suprise to pay an additional amount. Granted there is not a view of the lagoon from every balcony, however if you step outside, the views from the gardens down into Argostoli and the lagoon are beautiful, especially at night where the lights are all twinkling. Thank you Panos for all the advice on restaurants and sights to visit and for the many games of Rummy at the bar! Hopefully we will see you again soon! Emma and Adam

Brilliant time here yet again. Our fourth visit to Lagoon view; sixth to Kefalonia. We had the premium apartment on the first floor this year with its large balcony and beautiful vista stretching from Argostoli to the Ionian sea; also, great for stargazing. The apartment is well equipped with a microwave, a full oven and a four-ring induction hob allowing self-catering, although Mary and Panos can provide meals if required at lunch or in the evening at the bar area. Towel changes are regular and linen is changed once a week, but there is also a washing machine and drying facilities available for your use. You'll need a car, but this allows access to some of the most beautiful places to see across the island including lots of beaches and places of interest. You will usually find the pool area undisturbed as visitors take full advantage of car trips, ourselves included, which means there literally can be no-one poolside except you on those days you decide to stay put.

Peaceful Escape This was out first stay here and we will definitely be coming back. It was the most laid back holiday ever. It is set in a quiet location with amazing views and so peaceful. There are only a handful of apartments so there is always plenty of room around the pool. The room was clean and the air con was a dream when the temperature was up in the mid 30s. Panos was always at a discreet distance somewhere when you needed anything and we noted that he had been in each day when we were out to empty the bins. You could tell the whole place was looked after well. We will be back. Thanks Panos and hope to meet Mary next time.

Absolutely lovely apartments in a lovely quiet location. The apartments have everything you need,very clean and spacious with outstanding views.Panos the owner,was very welcoming and kindly sorted a hire car for us. He was very helpful giving us some top tips of where to go over the island. A top bloke. Would I recommend and return?……..100% I would……lovely apartments with a brilliant owner at a lovely Island. One thing I would say that you definitely need to hire a car to get out and about due to the location……which is lovely and quiet,peaceful and away from noise and congestion.

The room we eventually got was very good, clean and well equiped. However when we first arrived we were presented with a very poor room, tired, dark and gloomy; with a view of the car park, no veranda or usable patio.We had booked and paid for a superior room. We were then presented with an aggressive demand for $250 euros in cash (A/C 200, Safe 30, Tax 20) asked for a receipt but were refused. No mention of these charges when booking via Tui. Should have been warned when as advised by previous review I asked for a quote to hire a car...$700 euros for 10 days!! Paid £250 myself. We were moved after we complained, very good room, comfortable etc. No veranda or usable patio, very open windy no privacy. No Lagoon view from either room, it is clear although the apartments are advertised as "Lagoon View" apartments very few are and not all have the gourgous verandas people rave about.
