Hotel Aggelos Kefalonia
A neoclassical building on a quiet promenade above the sea
About this hotel
Hotel Aggelos Kefalonia is built in the neoclassical architectural style associated with Kefalonia before the devastating 1953 earthquake, giving it a rare historic character in a town largely rebuilt in a plainer postwar style. The recently renovated three-storey building holds twenty-one rooms described as luxurious yet economical, clean, and comfortable, sitting on a quiet street of the promenade just above the sea rather than directly on the busier main square. From there, the historic City Hall, the shopping centre with its shops, and the main square itself are all three to five minutes away, making the hotel a genuinely practical base for exploring the rest of Argostoli's historic centre on foot.
- Neoclassical architecture
- Quiet promenade location
- Recently renovated rooms
- Near the main square
Our take
Hotel Aggelos Kefalonia scores 8.7 from about 292 reviews, a very good result on a good sample. Its strengths are a recently renovated neoclassical-style building with twenty-one rooms, a quiet promenade street just above the sea in the historic centre, the main square about 700 metres away, and a 24-hour front desk. I would recommend it to families and couples who want calm and character in Argostoli. Guests who want a pool or resort facilities should look at a larger hotel.
- ✓Walk the three to five minutes to the main square and City Hall in the early evening
- ✓Ask about room categories in advance, since the twenty-one rooms represent limited inventory during peak season
- ✓Sit on the quiet promenade above the sea in the evening rather than heading straight to the busier square
Why we love it
- A genuine neoclassical building referencing pre-earthquake Kefalonia architecture
- A recently renovated three-storey building with twenty-one rooms
- A quiet promenade street just above the sea
- Three to five minutes from the main square and City Hall
Why guests love itHotel Aggelos Kefalonia is a neoclassical-style hotel in the historic centre of Argostoli, on a quiet promenade street just above the sea, about 700 metres from the main square. That means calm nights for children and an easy walk into town. The three-storey building was recently renovated and has twenty-one rooms, so it stays small and personal. A 24-hour front desk helps with late ferries and flights. I would book it for families who want a quiet, characterful base in Argostoli.
