MAKIS VILLAGE-APARTMENTS

The location is ideal. Very quiet yet within close walking distance of shops and restaurant, and close by to a PADI diving centre and place where you can hire boats etc. Very pretty location and people friendly. Apartments cleaned daily.

Location, facilities, a pool, standard of accommodation excellent.

Always have issues with pillows as they are never like the ones at home but these were better than most and at least there were extra ones for the sofa bed.

We stayed with friends during a 4 night visit to Kefalonia, booking 2x rooms. Room 1 was a “Standard Twin Room with Sea View”, Room 2 was a “Studio with Sea View”. We found Makis Village, and Agia Effimia, to be an excellent base for us to spend a few days exploring the island. The team at Makis Village communicated well before we arrived and gave us a nice welcome. Both rooms were clean and as described, with Room 1 being set further back from the road and overlooking the pool, with Room 2 at the front (but the road was not an issue). Room 2 had an amazing sea view and large balcony with the balcony area being bigger than the area of the studio itself! It was great waking up each morning watching the sunrise over Ithaca, and in the evening after returning from dinner it was a great area to spend an hour or two playing games with our friends. Room 1 had a much smaller balcony area. We spent a couple of hours by the pool one afternoon, which is a nice and quiet area to relax. Overall I would say it is reasonable value for what we paid, and if I was to return to Kefalonia and Agia Effimia, I would consider staying here again.

The size of Room 2 “Studio with Sea View” is very small with both a small kitchen and small shower. There is no room to put our suitcases anywhere so we had to use the dining table and chair in the kitchen area to put our cases on. The kitchen facilities are basic, so be aware if you intend to spend much of your time cooking. This was not an issue for us as we ate out each evening. Also the shower is small and only handheld (not overhead), however this is pretty common in Greece so it was not an issue for us. These are simply minor points that you should be aware of before booking, and consistent with other reviews.

The staff were great, relaxing days at the pool, complimentary bottle of wine on arrival.

There was ants in the apartment, the walls were thin
