Barefoot Contessa July 25
An excellent property we very much enjoyed our stay. Lourdata is a lovely place to be very laid back not over commercialised. Nice restaurants and bars everything we needed for a relaxing week. Hemingways Bar at the end of the driveway was very friendly and convenient for breakfast dinner,tea and cocktails. The apartment was comfortable and very clean, the kitchen was nice to have for a fridge, freezer and kettle. Only negatives were the shower head being completely blocked with limescale and held up by a tie wrap and a safe that didn’t work. Otherwise perfect

Great spot. Handy having the bar/taverna right in front. Host empties the trash and brings fresh towels daily. Only disappointment was that the sun beds shown in the photos are not included with the room rate. Beds in the room left us with a bit of a back ache as well.

The perfect beach location in beautiful Lourdas
We absolutely loved our stay at Barefoot Contessa, waking up to the most beautiful view of the sea and mountains and listening to the waves of the sea it was truly perfect. We had everything we needed in the apartment apart from a toaster, but we didn’t miss it. You’re moments away from a beautiful beach and a few tavernas and little bars. There are more up the hill which is a bit of a trek but having a car allowed us to explore everywhere much more easily. The only negatives we had were on arrival the shower had hairs still in it but as it was very late we didn’t get this rectified as we both wanted to shower before bed, it didn’t look like it had been cleaned very well. Towels are changed daily which is great but quite a few of the towels were frayed/stained. The only thing we think that would also need improving cleaning wise is having the apartment floor mopped half way during the week as it did get dirty when staying for the week. Other than those small negatives everything else was perfect and we would most definitely come and stay again. This was our first time in Kefalonia but won’t be our last!

The property was perfect for our needs having visited Lourdas a number of times, we know the area well. So close to the beach and local bars and tavernas. The property is very tastefully furnished and extremely clean. Towels changed daily, bins emptied daily and bedding once during our weeks stay. Would definitely, without hesitation, stay here again.

Great place to stay for pure holiday vibes
This is an excellent place to stay, the people who run it and the bar/restaurant nearby are friendly and super accommodating- even waiting for me to arrive for check in after my flight was delayed. The place itself is big and clean and comfortable. The best thing about it for me was the fact that the beach with cheap say beds was 2 mins from the room, it really helped ease us into holiday mode as soon as we got there. The food in the area was great as well. It was a really wonderful stay

2/10 Poor

Not for us
Nothing too relaxing very bad experience. If you choose that apartment in Lourdas you will get a minimum of equipment, bar very expensive and redness from owners. We ordered Greek salad but they give us without oil and olive no taste only veg Shame on you. The first time we have something like this. I do not know maybe you have a problem with people like us. The beach is beautiful and the seawater is amazing and the view is unforgettable with the mountain in the back of your place but you can get better accodomnetion in Lourdas than this. For the sunbed, you pay € 8 per day if you use it. Other than accommodation have or for free. Only one toaster for the whole 10 rooms??? Glass limits available. One little square kitchen towel to clean your dishes?? Most important the Air conditioning old fashion very old-fashioned and if you use makes horrible noise! the kitchen area yes has its windows but it's very warm, the owner should think about it. No that's enough. We could give more, that it's our opinion. We will be back with no option but no barefoot contessa We get information from different accordaminations and we notice the better place for that money. We travel a lot and we can compare, it poorly. Internet rubbish:(

We had a beautiful sea view on our balcony where we would enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The beach was beautiful with a gradual slope. It has small washed rock until you are a few feet in the water and then there is a sandy bottom.The staff was very friendly and accomodating. I highly recommend the Barefoot Contessa

Percect beach front property
Property was in a brilliant location and condition and the facilities were excellent, very comfy beds and great view of the sea and the sounds of the waves on the shore. Only negatives was very strong green light from the emergency exit sign above the door in the bedroom, no hot water for 15 hours at one point at the end of the week and very intermittent weak WiFi which at tines was frustrating.

Re: Relaxing stay on quiet beach
Beautiful beachside apartments just a stones throw from the sea at a quiet end of Lourdas beach. Had a very relaxing 8 days here, apartment clean and spacious, good kitchen with all the applicances you need. Get the sea view apartment, spent many evenings have a drink and watching the waves. Lots of restaurants nearby, relatively cheap and good simple food and only a short drive from Angostoli.

Really nice stay. Only a couple of disappointments, the bar wasn’t open and no beds on the beach. But appreciate it’s strange times and the resort was never going to be very busy

Real beachfront apartments
This accommodation definitely ticked all the boxes for our stay in Lourdas. The apartment we stayed in is the one advertised in the promotion and the view is outstanding. There are numerous restaurants close by and if you wish to venture further car rentals are easy to obtain as the island has a host of places to visit. We used the pre-booked taxi service to and from the airport and would recommend that also. All round service at the apartments was first class from everyone. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Lovely property in a great location
This is a lovely property in a really great location with very helpful owners. Very comfortable in the main bedroom; the third bed (sofa bed) also comfortable but no air conditioning in this room. Free wifi on site (at the bar) but not available in the room. Also be careful when booking, some of the rooms have a garden view, so if a sea view is important to you, make sure you book directly with the owners to ensure this.

Amazing holiday down to the genuine hospitality and excellent standards at the thomatos apartments. We literally cannot wait to return. Whilst we were staying a turtle nest was discovered by a conservation team just in front of the apartment, it was a wonderful experience!

Lovely Quiet Apartment Block
Nice apartment block in a quite area of the island. Apartments on upper floors have great views of the sea. Nearby restaurants are very good quality. If you intend to see other parts of the island would recommend renting a car. Skala is around 15mins away and so is Argostoli. Please note that in Lourdas there is no real nightlife scene apart from a few restaurants. Would recommend for people looking for a quiet place to stay which is not overcrowded or noisy.
