Pelagos Bay hotel was a real find. It gave us everyting we wanted, quiet location away from the town but near the sea, clean comfortable room with a great view, a brilliant 21m pool with a poolside area big enough for everyone and as just about everyone has mentioned, owners and staff who make you feel like family whilst you are there.

My friend and I stayed at the Pelagos Bay Hotel for the last week of September. The family and staff run the hotel extremely efficiently and are really nice and friendly. The rooms are basic but spotlessly clean and have wonderful sea views. The beds were a little bit hard for my arthritic old bones but that is the only fault I found.

On the two evenings that we ate at the hotel the food was excellent and the barbacue night was great fun with Greek dancing, bingo and a quiz. OK, the breakfast was basic but you could pay for a "Full English", or as we did, nip down to the supermarket and buy some fruit and greek yogurt. The "Old Times" restaurant next door served good food.

The little bay opposite was superb for snorkelling although pebbly not sandy and only a half dozen people down there.. The pool was cleaned every morning and a good size with lots of sunbeds and umbrellas - but not quite as warm as the sea!

On the day that we were let down by the travel company and the coach for our day trip did not turn up Barbara was so very helpful, helping us to choose another trip which was to Fiskardi by boat and great fun. All in all this was a great relaxing holiday and, were I the kind of person who went back to the same place I would go back here. Thank you Billy, Barbara and staff.

Another (7th) wonder(ful) holiday with our Greek & English family and friends.

As many of the repeat visitors will tell you Billy’s Place is an absolute gem and we consider ourselves very fortunate to stay at such an immaculately clean and friendly “home”.

Billy, Barbara, Yanni, Katarina, Anne-Marie, Bleddie, and ….oh what’s the name of that other quiet bloke behind the bar?

Towels and sheets are changed twice a week, rooms are cleaned 6 days a week, bins are emptied 7 days a week – we’re confused as to why a previous comment has said they had to pay for this service, maybe they wanted clean things every day in which case I suggest they bring a maid with them next-time they’re obviously spoilt. Also their comments about people being over 50 are quite offensive to those of us in our 30’s/40’s, in the years we’ve visited people have ranged from teenagers to yes the “elderly” but isn’t this common in most hotels and isn’t the social aspect all part of being on holiday? The breakfast is what your travel company provide so it’s basic (complain to them- they’re the ones that are ripping us off!)

As you can see from a huge percentage of comments this hotel is very much loved and special to a vast amount of visitors and we wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else in Kefalonia - Billy would find us and make us run round the Island ;).

Go, chill, enjoy some great hospitality courtesy of the Vosnakis Family and of course the quiet and unassuming Yannis our lovely Greek Brother and his “Special” cocktails.

We stayed at the Pelagos Bay in late August with our 5 year old son and had a lovely time. The accommodation was marvellous - instantly impressed with sea view and standard of cleanliness first class. Apartment spacious enough for us and beds comfortable. Aircon is set on a standard temperature so make sure you ask for the remote control if you are too hot - we didn't find this out until 4 days in and they do not promote it widely (clearly cost conscious!)The pool area is very good - only drawback with a small child is that the pool is uniformly deep. This didn't stop our son having fun as he is a confident swimmer but it is something to bear in mind. There is a baby pool having said that but it is small and wouldn't keep a 5 year old occupied for long. Staff highlight is definately Iannis - a cheerful and intelligent barman who keeps the atmosphere going single - handed. Other staff were polite, courteous and helpful but the owners were a a little difficult to work out if we're honest. The pebbly beach opposite is a gem - as others have noted, it was quiet, superb for snorkelling and relaxing. Beach shoes are however a necessity here as they are on other rocky shores so do not rely on flip flops or crocs! The road outside is hardly busy but local taxi drivers are of course nuts and can rattle down it at a fair rate (cautionary note for those with kids). The trip into Skala is not an issue for couples but again with small kids we found it easier to walk in and get a cab back (the return route has a nasty hill to negotiate). In terms of food, lunchtime grub at the hotel is rather good, but our recommendation is the 'Old Times' taverna just next door - very traditional, extremely friendly and good quality - everything we adore about Greece. Give it a try - you will not be disappointed. The coastal trip to Poros is also a worthwhile detour if you get a car or fancy a (long) isolated and beautiful walk. We would go back if we didn't have so many other places on our list, and we certainly recommend this place.
