  This is an invitation to all of you who value the quality of being "a guest" rather than "a client". We would like to invite you to feel the reassurance deriving from the past, a refined, cultured, classical past. This heritage home of Kefalonia offers exquisite healthy Greek cooking, books, good music, art, poetry and fun; the perfect place for people with a need to put things 'right' in a world of upheaval and turmoil, for romantic couples who would like to share long walks in mountain tracks or on isolated beaches.

The building was constructed before 1895; the only things that have been changed are elements that promote luxury, technology and superstructure. Financed by the European Community for the redevelopment of traditional buildings of high environmental value, great care and sympathy has been applied to the restoration. All rooms have been fitted with air conditioners and private bathrooms with either baths or jet-showers. All furniture is authentic, hand made works of craftsmanship ranging from 1790 to 1950. Persian rugs have been brought from the Far East from several members of the owner's families and Murano chandeliers were brought all the way from Smyrne and Venice.

Your Room Selection.

ELENI
Nostalgic homage to travellers. This is the berth of the resting voyager. Suitcases with pre-war hotel labels from around the world, photos and paintings hinting reminiscence all surrounded with antique furniture.

EROS
If music is the food of love, then play on! Black reinforced 1820's iron bed, with an organza sky and an open plan shower for daring occupants, while the room's location, right where the cellar used to be, will ensure privacy and natural coolness for the summer.

EUPHORIA
A room full of treasure! If you feel at home amongst books, an old wine press, and a piano then Euphoria is designed for you. Ideal for newly weds, private parties or meetings, as the bed is elegantly hidden behind white curtains on top of the fringes of the wine press.

This room will fill your heart with warmth and riches.

PENELOPE
The place for the blossoming romantic. Open your shutters to a breath of inspiration. Lilac and lace is the theme of a room with two single-beds which can be optionally paired with Armonia as they share the first floor landing.

The "Possada" Restaurant.

Possada as referred in an early poem by George Molfetas, meant a patrons estate house as well as a table set in great ceremony and style.

Along with those characteristics, the exclusive environment and the collectors pieces used to augment the setting, genuine home cooked food, prepared with the best organic produce of the island is provided. Food is not only cooked as their grandparents used to do, the owners can arrange teaching sessions for our guests on how to cook local specialties. As part of this activity our guests can accompany a fishing boat for lobster day fishing. If so interested, arrangements can be made for guests to be driven to a hunting farm not more than 20 km away from the hotel, or be driven to traditional wineries for sampling Kefalonian wines. During the summer the garden next to the open spa will be the setting for the evening meals.

"Cephalonia is a beautiful island with the most hospitable people; it has such a calming atmosphere."
