Avra Private Suites

What can I say, the only negative is I’m not sure how we will all cope without the amazing views, fabulous breakfast and friendly management and housekeeping team. This place has it all views to die for, a location just minutes from one of the best beaches on Kefalonia and a breakfast of champions served for you on your balcony daily. We stayed in the penthouse suite, Thea, 6 adults and 3 children and there was so much space for us. Three generous bedrooms and three spacious bathrooms and what can we say about the balconies, one of which offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean. The pool was lovely with comfortable beds and umbrellas. Amenities were minutes away, shops, restaurants and bars. Maria and her team were just so accommodating. We could not have asked to more.

We stayed at Avra Private Suites at the end of June 2024 for 6 nights and it was simply magical! We are still dreaming about it and probably will continue to dream about it until we return! Our room's large terrace faced the incredibly water/beach, which we soaked up every day. The room itself was well-appointed and the air conditioning worked very well (which, as a reader of this review, may be of value). The grounds were stunning but perhaps the most notable aspect of this incredible place was the staff. Yes, for starters, Maria is so welcoming and helpful with all things. But the morning breakfast served on our terrace was brought to us by the most lovely woman, who made the delicious breakfast every day. We still talk about those breakfasts--which unlike a lot of Greek hotels--was different every morning and tailored to our tastes and preferences! The property is walking distance to the beachy town--where you can eat dinner at Nefeli (yum) or shop for needed items at any one of the several stores. Last but not least, we went to the same beach every day because it was that phenomenal. All we had to do was exit our suite and take some stairs down to a stunning sandy beach with chairs for rent. We loved Kefalonia so much but our stay at Avra was a very big part of that love. WE WILL RETURN!!!

Definitely 5/5 stars - I’d give more if I could. Incredible experience and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Location - it’s a 2-3 minute walk down to Makris Gialos Beach, which is an absolutely stunning beach. The view is also fantastic from the hotel. The garden is absolutely incredible - fig, pomegranate, lemon, lime trees, tomatoes, flowers, beautiful. It’s tough to find a better surrounding for any hotel anywhere. Breakfast - delicious and thoughtful - always prepared fresh that morning, with local recipes and every day it was a new salty, respectively a new sweet dish. Also served with coffee, bread, homemade jams etc. It was served outside of the room at a very nice table. Cleanliness - excellent. No complaints whatsoever. Everything was perfectly clean. Amenities - Very nice pool with lots of sun-beds (tip: very good, free alternative to the sun-beds down at the beach). Hospitality - Probably should’ve put this first - Maria, the owner, and the lovely ladies that prepared the breakfast and the rooms were incredible thorough our stay, always helpful, always kind. Can’t wait to visit again next year!

We are coming to the end of the most incredible family holiday. Avra Suites tick absolutely every box. In the perfect location between the airport and Port of Argostoli and sat above the most beautiful beach you could imagine. Maria and her team have left no stone unturned and their attention to detail and service is unrivalled. We are in the upper floor apartment which occupies the entire floor. 3 double bedrooms, jacuzzi/sauna room and huge living space. The icing on the cake are the many balconies that have uninterrupted views out to sea. Breakfast is sensational.

We stayed at Avra in September 2022. It was our first time there, but we will definitely come back. If you are thinking how a relaxing accommodation with excellent service near the sea could be, then Avra Private Suites is the answer. Located on top of Makris Gialos beach and a 5-min drive to the center of Argostoli, it can be the perfect starting point for exploring the island of Kefalonia. The personnel (and the owners) were extremely friendly and always available to fulfil any special need we had for our baby. The homemade breakfast was just amazing; not the same evert day. We highly recommend Avra Private Suites and look forward to visit them again in the near future!

This was our much anticipated second visit to this beautiful resort and again, the service was exceptional. Friendly, professional and kind at every level. Sadly, we were here during the terrible storm which obviously marred our holiday somewhat but service with smiles carried on regardless, in truly challenging conditions. Special shout out to George in the bar who was great fun and a real asset. The photographs of this place are beautiful and it 100% measures up. Everything is beautifully designed and the atmosphere is very chill. The GM is a constant presence (great to see) and the whole team bend over backwards to welcome you. Don't hesitate to book. Tips; *take extra hangers if you're going for a while *replacement coffee pods now free *beach bag now provided*Umi restaurant at sister resort next door is worth a visit. They'll take you by buggy.
