Liberatos Village Resort – Lassi – Kefalonia

Just returned from a great fortnight at the Liberatos Village resort. Glad we never saw any of the reviews before we left otherwise we would have seriously been put off. We were a little dubious when we were taken to the hotel & saw the hill but the view from our apartment was glorious.

The apartment was basic, but no more so than any other apartment we have stayed in. All we want to do is sleep & chill in it, it is not where we hope to spend most of our time on holiday – if we wanted to do that then we would book a villa! The kitchen was again basic but we ate out every day, but there was enough for us to do the basic cooking we normally do on a s/c holiday. The bins were emptied every other day & the bedding & towels were changed 3 times, more than enough. We had no hot water one day but that was fixed by the time we returned.

We managed to walk up the hill at least once a day - to be honest neither of us are fit & are both well covered but if we could do it after a day out & a meal then any but the old or infirm could do it! It at least meant we did one form of keep-fit a day, which is never a bad thing & it didn’t detract from the holiday.

The pool was absolutely superb – always clean – in fact the cleanest pool I have ever used. Never any debris on/in it & rarely any insects either. Fotis & George, the barman, were both friendly & helpful & Fotis did a grand job of running the complex. His father (George [not the barman]) was also friendly. The bar was no dearer than any of the restaurants in Lassi for drinks – Kefalonia is not a cheap Greek island generally.

The bbq was good value at 5euros per person & Fotis & his father entertained us with Greek dancing. The only night we heard any noise from the bar area was bbq night – we heard more carrying up from Lassi than the bar area. The dog did wake us a few times, but as it isn’t their dog there isn’t much point complaining.

Yes, the supermarket was sometimes on the expensive side – but then we never bought anything from it, preferring to buy from Lassi, the option was ours. This is really a trifling complaint to make – we have been on enough s/c holidays to know that any ‘attached’ supermarkets are dearer than others.

The location of the apartments means you can walk into Lassi or Argostoli easily, Argostoli having the better selection of shops & eateries you would expect from the capital.
