Great spot. Handy having the bar/taverna right in front. Host empties the trash and brings fresh towels daily. Only disappointment was that the sun beds shown in the photos are not included with the room rate. Beds in the room left us with a bit of a back ache as well.
It was amazing. Confortable, relaxing and very convenient. And lovely owner !

The perfect beach location in beautiful Lourdas
We absolutely loved our stay at Barefoot Contessa, waking up to the most beautiful view of the sea and mountains and listening to the waves of the sea it was truly perfect. We had everything we needed in the apartment apart from a toaster, but we didn’t miss it.
You’re moments away from a beautiful beach and a few tavernas and little bars. There are more up the hill which is a bit of a trek but having a car allowed us to explore everywhere much more easily.
The only negatives we had were on arrival the shower had hairs still in it but as it was very late we didn’t get this rectified as we both wanted to shower before bed, it didn’t look like it had been cleaned very well. Towels are changed daily which is great but quite a few of the towels were frayed/stained. The only thing we think that would also need improving cleaning wise is having the apartment floor mopped half way during the week as it did get dirty when staying for the week. Other than those small negatives everything else was perfect and we would most definitely come and stay again. This was our first time in Kefalonia but won’t be our last!
The property was perfect for our needs having visited Lourdas a number of times, we know the area well. So close to the beach and local bars and tavernas. The property is very tastefully furnished and extremely clean. Towels changed daily, bins emptied daily and bedding once during our weeks stay. Would definitely, without hesitation, stay here again.

Great place to stay for pure holiday vibes
This is an excellent place to stay, the people who run it and the bar/restaurant nearby are friendly and super accommodating- even waiting for me to arrive for check in after my flight was delayed.
The place itself is big and clean and comfortable. The best thing about it for me was the fact that the beach with cheap say beds was 2 mins from the room, it really helped ease us into holiday mode as soon as we got there.
The food in the area was great as well. It was a really wonderful stay

Not for us
Nothing too relaxing very bad experience. If you choose that apartment in Lourdas you will get a minimum of equipment, bar very expensive and redness from owners.
We ordered Greek salad but they give us without oil and olive no taste only veg Shame on you. The first time we have something like this. I do not know maybe you have a problem with people like us. The beach is beautiful and the seawater is amazing and the view is unforgettable with the mountain in the back of your place but you can get better accodomnetion in Lourdas than this. For the sunbed, you pay € 8 per day if you use it. Other than accommodation have or for free. Only one toaster for the whole 10 rooms??? Glass limits available. One little square kitchen towel to clean your dishes?? Most important the Air conditioning old fashion very old-fashioned and if you use makes horrible noise! the kitchen area yes has its windows but it's very warm, the owner should think about it. No that's enough. We could give more, that it's our opinion. We will be back with no option but no barefoot contessa We get information from different accordaminations and we notice the better place for that money. We travel a lot and we can compare, it poorly. Internet rubbish:(
We had a beautiful sea view on our balcony where we would enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The beach was beautiful with a gradual slope. It has small washed rock until you are a few feet in the water and then there is a sandy bottom.The staff was very friendly and accomodating. I highly recommend the Barefoot Contessa

Great place to relax on the beach.
Close to beach and walking distance to several good restaurants. Nice for a couple of days of doing very little..
