Authenticity

Family-owned Casaly Hotel & Spa operates under a well-run team of warm and attentive staff, who repeatedly receive top marks for their Greek hospitality (an embedded cultural value with ancient roots). Guests can expect personal touches, help with transfers and activity arrangements, and even special surprises for occasions. The restaurant's menu focuses on Mediterranean principles that rework traditional Kefalonia recipes with a modern twist, and dishes are prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients from nearby farms.

Location

Casaly Hotel & Spa is conveniently located in downtown Argostoli, facing the port, and is a great spot for activity pickups and exploring the area on foot. Within 10 minutes, you can walk to Lithostroto, the main pedestrian shopping street, find alternative dining options, and visit local sites like Valianos Square and the Corgialenios Historical & Cultural Museum. Following the harborfront, you can reach the historic stone De Bosset Bridge in a 20-minute walk. For adventures farther afield (like accessing the St. Theodore Lighthouse or turquoise colored Myrtos Beach), the Casaly concierge can arrange a bike or car hire (or helicopter!), and a transfer service (for a fee) from the Kefalonia airport that's a 15-20-minute car ride.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Rooms and suites are stylish works of modern art with cream walls and flooring, track lighting, gold fixtures, cream bouclé seating, leather beds, darkwood furniture, and high-tech features like preprogrammed lighting settings. Bathrooms are chic, outfitted with Bvlgari bath products, plush robes, and slippers. Book one of the rooms that share a pool accessed directly from the room's terrace, or go all out with one of the suites offering sea views from either a private (and very romantic) pool or Jacuzzi. 

Amenities

You won't be in want of an amenity or service at Casaly. Its wellness center alone features a therapeutic salt room with heated beds, a heated pool, a Jacuzzi, a hammam, a sauna, and a therapy room for massage and personalized treatments—you can even purchase spa products at the hotel's boutique. The state-of-the-art fitness center has stylish cardio equipment (treadmills, a rowing machine, a stationary bike, etc.) and free weights. The on-site restaurant serves up reimagined Kefalonia classics from breakfast through to dinner using locally-sourced organic ingredients, and you'll find board games in the common spaces as well as a library. 

Family-Friendliness

Touted as adult-only, Casaly Hotel & Spa welcomes babies, yet parents with older children will find sister property Canale Hotel & Suites a better, family-friendly fit.
