The Lazaratos hotel in Cefalonia is truly a hidden gem that offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views, spacious accommodations, and delightful home-cooked meals. The beach is practically private, allowing for lazy days by the water, and the family owners provide warm hospitality that makes you feel welcomed. While the island's roads may be tricky at times, it's well worth exploring the beautiful surroundings. A slight downside is the limited dining options outside the hotel, but the quality of the meals definitely makes up for it.

I had a fantastic stay at the studios. The location is lovely and quiet, making it perfect for a laid-back time away from the hustle of larger resorts. Costos and his family genuinely make you feel welcome. However, I was a bit disappointed that my studio lacked a sea view, and the noise from the nearby road could be an issue for some. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
