Caught in the cyclone while we were there so no electricity and no water for a couple of days. Obviously nor their fault and Petros did all he was able to do to assist us. Lovely place, ideal for families, short walk to the beach and good, clean swimming pool.

We had a fabulous stay at Zest. Tina & Petros work so hard to create a home-from-home experience. We loved: - the pre-arranged airport collection & welcome drink - the breakfasts : tasty homemade veggie cakes & mini-wraps,waffles, biscuits & muffins,locally sourced brown bread & eggs. Tina uses their garden produce so well - the clean pool - beautiful & peaceful setting - with flowers around,the honesty bar, - the well equipped kitchen,: real oven, filter coffee machine, mini grill & good space. Zest also provided washing up liquid & cloths/ tea towel - unusual for an appartment. The coffee mugs, glasses nice & plentiful. - the free wi-fi worked well - the cleanliness throughout, regular changes of linen & daily bathroom replinishment. it's like a hotel but with advantages of an appartment -the good amount of space: two bedrooms,for three adults), the outdoor & indoor sofas were relaxing. The beds were confortable, air con in all the rooms& a clothes airer The appartments are 10 mins from Xi Beach and opposite a car rental company which made hiring a car easy. There are 4 buses a day which we caught outside the appartment. This helps - given that there is only one limited mini-market nearby. There are taxis - we took one late evening 10 Euro one back from Lixouri. We did frequent trips by regular ferry from Lixouri to Argostoli It was a joy to meet Tina & Petros, friendly, fun, and caring. Thank you for everything - we loved our visit to beautiful Kefallonia

Great value for money, our favourite part was probably the breakfast which is based on quality and not quantity - just as we like it! Petros and Stamattina are such nice people and the location of their hotel is just wonderful! We stayed at another hotel during our stay but Zest is our favourite! We will definitely stay here again if we return to Kefalonia!

Fantastic Place
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Zest Apartments, from the warm welcome to the final goodbye. The Apartments are large, clean and have everything we needed, and the pool area and playgrounds were well used by our children. However, the best part of the Zest was the owners, who were friendly and helpful, and we felt like we were part of the family. Don't miss the BBQ dinner, it was awesome. We loved it and would love to come back one day.

Precioso apartamento de verano en Cefalonia
Muy próximo a la bonita playa de Xi (10min andando). Es un apartamento espacioso con un precioso amplio y cómodo balcón. Todo muy limpio. Piscina grande. Se desayuna allí. Muy buen desayuno. Como hay pocos apartamentos, unos 10, está todo muy tranquilo. Y nuestra estancia ha sido muy agradable. Para repetir sin duda

Waren die ersten Gäste 2019 und somit lief es anfangs etwas schleppend. Wer im April zum Xi Beach reist muss sich im Klaren sein, dass im Ort ALLES noch zu ist und man nach Lixouri fahren muss(10min.) um essen zu gehen oder mal ein Eis zu essen. Das Hotel selber lebt von seiner familiären Atmosphäre und den Betreibern, und die sind absolut herzlich und hilfsbereit. Auch wenn wir mit dem ein oder anderen wasserproblemchen zu kämpfen hatten können wir (2erwachsene 2kinder) das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen, gerade für Leute, die keine anonymen Hotelburgen suchen absolut das richtige. Wir werden wieder kommen!!!
