It is the personal service of the owners and the friendly staff which make this hotel stand out. Add the beautiful setting and the clean spacious apartments and this hotel is a great place to unwind. As others have noted, the Petani Bay is a little off the beaten track but definitely worth a visit. When we returned to the... More

I cannot give enough praise to Petani Bay hotel, its total paradise! We booked Petani for the first part of our Honeymoon. We booked direct with the hotel and from the beginning I knew that Voula would be the most amazing hostess. She offered help and guidance on our trip and was always available in the run up to let...

We really enjoyed our stay at Petani Bay hotel. The location is perfect with great views and spectacular sunsets. Voula is enthusiastic and makes you feel welcome. We love Kefalonia and especially this wonderful gem. The rooms are so comfortable. It certainly has the 'wow factor', you do not want to leave...we will be back!

A boutique hotel overlooking a magical view, with helpful staff and pretty much all you could need for an R&R vacation. The room was clean and comfortable, the beds divine… All rooms have balconies facing a most amazing sunset! The breakfast was fresh and colorful, after which you can't eat till supper… John (the owner), and Oleg were attentive and... More

We stayed at Petani Bay in August for three nights at the start of a weeks holiday in Kefalonia and we chose the right place to begin unwinding. It's slightly off the beaten track but for all the right reasons, the view is breathtaking. The owners are dedicated and so welcoming and the team are humble and efficient, making us... More

Overall this is a very nice hotel with very friendly and helpful owners. We found ourselves hanging out in the northern part of the Island the most which was a bit far from where Petani Hotel is. We should have done more research and picked a hotel north of the Island which matched our style better and where the truly... More

We booked for one week in July 2012 and were looking forward to our stay in the Petani Bay Hotel. According to the reviews, the place seemed like paradise. We were immediately disappointed at our arrival. The place is far from being welcoming. The building itself an its surrounding have no charm, they lack character and the warmth that is... More

This hotel was everything we hoped it would be. We arrived having just spent six days in Fiskardo at the Emelisse Art Hotel (supposedly the most expensive and best hotel on the Island) and I am so glad we ended our holiday at Petani Bay. Firstly, the location is remote and provides one of the most beautiful views I have... More

This hotel is excellent. Large, clean, nicely appointed rooms with rainfall showers and all have sea-facing balconies. Beautiful infinity pool and great pool bar which is perfect to have cocktails whilst watching spectacular sunsets. Decent breakfasts and the staff are just brilliant, particularly hostess Voula who really does make the place with her warmth and charm. Perhaps the drinks and... More
