Pilarei, Kefalonia hotel rooms at the Independent

"A lovely hotel with fantastic, friendly staff and a great location - if you have a car you can get to almost anywhere on the island in approx. one hour. Also close to Sami main town - about a 15 minute walk along the coastal path where there are lots of nice restaurants"

"Staff were amazing especially at breakfast. Breakfast was superb with lots of variety. Great location"

"Lovely rooms ever clean. Staff all friendly. Lovely grounds "

"All fanrastic"

"Amazing views, brilliant hotel"

"The apartment was very big and comfortable, it was tidy and clean. The view was stunning. All needed equipment was included. "

"Our second stay, room a little tired. The breakfast is very good, staff helpful and friendly. We loved the adults only pool. The only this that spoilt it was the penny pinching attitude to in-room drinks; charging €1 each for tea bags is beyond mean! We went out and bought our own."

"The hotel has a fantastic location overlooking the bay and mountains beyond. The facilities are excellent with large and comfortable rooms. The staff were outstanding, nothing was to much trouble - Thank you"

"The staff and location were lovely. The view from Bay Palace provided beautiful sunrises, gorgeous views of the mesmerizing blue water beach, and enchanting views of the town. "
