Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed here for 8 nights from the 20th july this year. The studios were so beautiful and clean and had so much Greek charm with chickens clucking about and cats and kittens chilling out in the shade.
This was our pre wedding accommodation as we got married on the island too. The price was excellent as was the town of Katelios itself. Beautiful and quiet with a gorgeous beach only 10 mins walk away. The owners have now put lights down the path so a torch isnt necessary if you are walking to the restaurants at night.

The owners of the studios also own the lighthouse restaurant on the front overlooking the beach and if you stay at the appts you get 15% discount off your meals, which are incredible.

We hired a car and so explored the island as we were there for 3 weeks, but if you didnt have transport you don't feel blocked in as the town is just so lovely you dont need or want to leave it!
Me and my new husband highly recommend staying here as it is just so lovely and full of charm.

Just returned from a fantastic stay in this wonderful place. Accommodation clean and very spacious, view from balcony was stunning. Lovely walk into katelios, about a 10 minute gentle stroll. Lighthouse taverna was excellent loved the food there. Costa and Georgia are wonderful hosts and can't do enough for you. Didn't want to come home and can't wait to return.

Really liked the setting of the lighthouse apartments although 5-10 minutes walk into katelios it seemed you were in the middle of the countryside, very green with orange, lemon,and olive trees rabbits chickens the odd goat plenty of cats all very wild and rustic, the apartment themselves were very clean, spacious, a bit basic but comfortable usually do villas or private apartments, but would have no problem returning to these apartments with the location , resort and restaurants it made for a really chilled relaxing and fantastic week's break ,could easily of done another week as did other people in the apartments and resort had said, GREAT

Beautiful apartments about 10 mins walk to sea and bars etc. Rural setting with 4dogs, numerous cats, chickens and rabbits. Pigs and Sheep in owners field behind. The cockerel will make sure you dont oversleep but its all part of the charm. Apartments are very clean and tidy and are typically greek, kettle, two cooking rings, fridge.

We really enjoyed our stay here in August. There was a mix up when we arrived, mainly due to a booking cock-up by On The Beach, but Makis went the extra mile to resolve it and our group was very happy with the result.

I would recommend staying here if you visit Katelios.

We stayed at the Lighthouse Studios in the middle of June 2013. Lovely studios, large airy room which was clean and comfortable. Loved the location set back from the main road in a rural setting. There are a few little things that need sorting out to bring the studios up a notch, replacing shower head, a little more equipment in the kitchenette, balcony needs shading from the morning sun. Otherwise we had a really enjoyable stay and a great holiday. Costas, Georgina and Makis are wonderful friendly people, nothing was too much trouble for them.

We had a fab week - weather was outstanding, temp peaked at around 47 celcius - pretty hot, even for the locals!!!!


The brochures say that the Lighthouse Studios are approx 150m from the beach, a little mis-leading, a good 10 min walk I would say - but thats the only negative.


The room was clean & tidy, a little basic, but how long do you plan on spending there.


If you have transfers from the airport I'm not sure on the set up for collection of room keys. We hired a car so had to make our own way to Katelios, the only problem was there was no-one at the appts, not really a problem as we headed for the Lighthouse Taverna where they sorted everything out.


Another plus point on the taverna is you get approx 15% of your meal for staying at the appts. (say hello to Costas and chef Marco)


We took a torch for the nite walk back, but once we'd got our bearings of the potholes we left it in the room.


Katelios is reasonably quiet, so hiring a car for a few days to see the island and its sights - Myrtos Beach, Fiskardo, Assos, Agristoli, etc. would be a good idea.

All the tavernas in Katelios are of a good standard, with Capt. Jerry's just about the best, prices are a little more expensive allround compared to previous visits to Greece, but thats a genuine small price to pay!


All I can say is have a fab time, just as we did


Dont forget your snorkels!!!

We did a lot of research into which bit of Kefalonia to visit and liked the sound of Katelios and in particular the lighthouse studios, we read all the reviews and looked at as many photos as we could find. We finally made the plunge and chose the lighthouse above some of the others we saw, when we arrived we were glad we opted for the lighthouse.
The accommodation is basic but everything you need, the most important thing is that it's clean. There were optional extras of a safe and air con, which for August was necessary as it was still 30 deg at night. The accommodation was cleaned 3 times per week and again was well done and with minimal fuss.
The owners were very friendly and welcoming and has already been said they give you 15% discount in there restaurant on the sea front. Which is a very nice touch.

About a ten minute walk into the main village itself. Maybe need a torch at night but again not too dark a walk. Also there was a supermarket about 5 mins away

We hired a car for a few days from Venus rentals who were very good and professional, and toured the island. Easy to drive around just some very steep cliffs and windy roads to contend with.

All in all an amazing experience which a family of 4 (2 x 6 year old boys)enjoyed thoroughly and would use again.

We stayed here for 9 nights in August 2014 with our 2 children aged 3 & 5.
We arrived by taxi and headed for the Lighthouse Taverna on the sea front in Katelios and met the owner Costas who arranged for his wife Georgia to follow us to the apartments. She was so friendly and made us very welcome. The apartments are a very gentle 10 mins stroll to the beach where all the tavernas and bars are. On this stroll you'd get plenty of opportunity to meet the local kittens. The accommodation is typically Greek, basic and very clean. Spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 kids and the nice thing about the location is that it was well off the main road and we could allow the children to play in the children's playground or look at the chickens & rabbits. The cockerel does his best to wake you up at 4am though but that's a minor complaint. We loved nothing more than sitting on the balcony in the late afternoon sun while the kids had a nap with a bottle of Mythos and all you could hear was the chickens clucking and the odd barking dog. So peaceful. We ate mainly at the Lighthouse Taverna not only because of the 15% discount but the food was always excellent and the kids could play on the beach before and after eating. We had trouble hiring a car as it was peak season but managed to get one on a day trip to Skala so would recommend booking before you go. Car hire is definitely recommended as there are some fantastic places to visit and the roads are pretty empty even in peak season.
We used a swimming pool at the hotel just up the hill out of Katelios which was lovely. It was 3€ entry but that was with drinks so good value and the food there was lovely too.

If you're looking for a peaceful location and good clean basic accommodation then I can't recommend this place more highly. We're already planning our return next year!!

We stayed here in august and was delighted with the studios. they were very spacious, had a fully equipped kitchen, with fridge, plates, cups, glasses and all the utensils one needed. The room also had a large dining table and a lovely patio area. Set in a quiet rural area ten minutes walk from the centre of Katelios, we enjoyed the peace and quiet it offered and the pleasant walk to and from the village. If ever we return to Katelios, as I am sure we shall, we would definitely stay here again.

Katelios is on the main road to Skala from the airport. It took us about 40 minutes on the coach, The studios are easy to find, there's just one main road, take it until you get to an island with a boat on it. Go straight across and take the first right. Go straight up this road until you see a green bin next to a wall on your left. Opposite you will see a gravel road, take this it leads you straight to the studios. Unless you are arranging to be met at the studios by the owners, I would suggest going straight down the main road to the beach.park up at the bottom, turn right and the lighthouse restaurant is the first one you come to. The owners are very friendly and you even get 10% off your bill every time you eat or drink there. Enjoy.
