Asteris Hotel

Just home from another fabulous stay at the Asteris. This is our 3rd stay now, and we have loved each one. This hotel is so chill. Just far enough away from Skala to feel super relaxed, plus slightly uphill from the resort so that you get amazing sea and Skala views. Don't worry though, the hotel has a mini bus to take you to Skala in a few minutes if you want to visit the beach or other amenities. We always pick seaview rooms (though I imagine all the rooms have great views due to the position of the hotel buildings). This visit we had a spectacular view from the uppermost end room. Glass balcony allowing for a huge beautiful blue, sea and sky view. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and beautifully clean. There is a good selection to choose from at breakfast. We ate some lunches, midday snacks, and dinners at the Asteris restaurant too during our stay and enjoyed each one. The restaurant staff are great. Cold, draught Mythos, smoothies, cocktails, et al. are available from super welcoming Anastasia and her team at the bar. There is a lovely pool with a wonderful sea view, and the very amenable reception staff supply sunbed towels. We have only visited in peak season, but the pool has always felt very chilled, there are always available beds and plenty of space to swim. This is a family run hotel, the staff are just great. Just manages to give a warm welcome but a chilled vibe. A real gem 💎 of a place.

Just returned from 10 days at this hotel. Great place for a holiday - views over the bay are stunning. This hotel has one pool, one bar, one restaurant. The pool is great, the food is good and the cocktails are amazing all day long. Everybody at the hotel works really hard so you can have a good, relaxing time. It really felt as if the staff were a family. The late-ish bar ensured a great atmosphere around the pool when returning from the evening meal. We had a deluxe and a standard room. The standard room was actually bigger size-wise. The 'deluxe' is actually fairly small (a decent Premier Inn-sized room) but with a better air con system, decor, bathroom etc - and of course the views! The food at the restaurant was good - different 'special' each evening, good value lunches (large sandwiches, generous portions of pizza, pasta, salads etc). Rooms and bathrooms are kept clean and the cleaners work really hard and are incredibly cheerful. Note that each room has a fridge for water and a safe. The deluxe rooms are a little limited storage wise - pack a couple of hangers as well! There is plenty of help at hand to arrange car hire, tours and restaurant bookings. It is probably too far out of town to walk (downhill going into town, uphill back) but the mini bus works well. It costs 8-10 Euros for a taxi from town back to the hotel. We had a really memorable time here - everyone is just, well, lovely. [For those interested, there is a large TV - we went "pre-season" football wise, but they had Community Shield, Super Cup on the TV so I imagine they will show EPL (as well as other leagues!)]

We just stayed for 10 nights at Asteris and couldn’t fault the hotel. We hired a quad bike for a week and went off exploring every morning but there seemed to be sunbeds by the pool still available at around 9.45am while people ate breakfast which is great for peak season. We ate at the hotel restaurant twice at night and the food was really nice and a comparable price to the tavernas down in Skala. Most people seemed to have a hire car and there was always plenty of parking available at the hotel. We tended to go down the hill into Skala at night for a meal and then have a cocktail back at the hotel. It was not very busy round the bar at night which seemed a bit of a shame. Not sure where all of the other guests were. Lots seemed to just be back in their rooms quite early. Good mix of nationalities. Kefalonia is a beautiful island and after visiting Lassi we were very happy to be staying near Skala as it was much less busy. There are limited places to eat in Skala, it wasn’t as big as I expected it to be and far quieter at night than other Greek islands we have visited but we enjoyed it. I would return to this hotel.

We have just got home from an out of this world week at Asteris Hotel. We were helped (after a long 10 hour delay) with our cases on a golf cart to our rooms and made to feel extremely welcome from the get go. The next morning we awoke to sensational views of the coastline. The beds are comfy, our room was clinically clean, bathroom is amazing. The mini bus into Skala provides amazing all-day access to the village. All of the above couldn’t be possible without the staff that work at Asteris. Anastasia and Irene in particular went out of their way to look after us on our honeymoon, getting to know us and letting us get to know them. We were helped by Irene for terrible heat rash and Anastasia provided us with a beautiful smile each and every day. This hotel is an absolute must, we will certainly be back. Thank you for making our honeymoon memorable! Mr and Mrs Jones, Room 170.

A lovely hotel where the staff could not do enough for you - they were all lovely . We staid at the bottom in one of the older rooms - be warned there is a steep hill to get to swimming pool . The room was fine and had a new bathroom. There is a lovely pool and plenty of sun beds ( people were out about 8 putting towels down ) Good bar and food reasonable prices . There is a minibus which goes into town throughout day and it full they will do extra journeys or put an additional van on . If you want to be out of the main area of Skala and want somewhere relaxing and smaller I would recommend this hotel to you

I've just had 5 nights at the Asteris and exceeded my expectations. My room looked out to sea with amazing views, it was modern and exceptionally clean. Every day the room was cleaned with a lovely surprise each time by the maids. The food was amazing, staff went above and beyond to help. Anastasia's cocktails are fabulous. Lovely touch with free pool towels.
