One of the best rentals in Europe
We stayed at the Kefalosbay Residence Oct 30th - Nov 6th. The apartments are beautifully furnished and private with stunning views. It is evident from the moment you arrive that Costas and Lionel take great pride in their business and take a personal interest in their guests comfort and satisfaction. Everything with the apartment is functional, practical and well thought out (down to motion activated lights on the walk to the apartment door). We have spent a lot of time traveling around the world and have never been made to feel so much at home in a rental property. The owners are always available to assist with car rental, food suggestions and sightseeing recommendations etc, yet never overbearing or intrusive. We would recommend this place to anyone and we hope to return. This is a great place run by wonderful people, I can't think of any way they could improve the property or the personal touch they extend to their guests.

Comments: At the top of the World!!
We stayed at Kefalos Bay Residence from 8-15 October 2011. In spite of 3 days of stormy weather we enjoyed our apartment so much. The panoramic views are superb, wonderful in good weather but equally magnificent watching the forked lightning and high seas across the bay on our first day.
The approach to the remote site is from a sharp bend on the main road up to the old Kefalos village, along a very rough and stony track, but once you arrive you will find perfectly manicured gardens, with immaculate lawns and flower beds. The photos on the website are exactly as it is, and when we arrived we almost felt that we had been there before, everything was just as we had expected.
The owners were there to welcome us, showed us into the apartment and ran through how everything worked. They were on hand throughout our week there to help if needed, but were not intrusive at all and left us entirely alone to enjoy our time there. They also invited us to their home on site for an hour on our first evening to share aperitifs and to tell us about the geography of the island.
The apartments themselves are extremely well equipped and everything is good quality, clean and fresh. We had the top floor apartment on the swimming pool level, which we thought was the best one, but they were all similarly equipped. They are very light and airy, and have double patio doors in both the lounge area and in the bedroom, so wherever you are you can always keep your eye on that beautiful view!
The kitchen has a good size fridge/freezer and there was a bottle of water provided for our arrival. There is a microwave, a full-size electric kettle, an electric oven with timer and space for two saucepans on the hob. There is also an electric toaster, plenty of crockery, cutlery, glassware, tea-towels etc. We did find the wine bottle opener a little difficult so made a note to bring one from home next time we visit. The lounge area has satellite TV, DVD player and internet access. The seating was comfortable, and on arrival there was even a fresh rose left on the coffee table for us, which was replaced during our stay.
Similarly, the bathroom was as good as being at home. There is plenty of storage space with a floor-to-ceiling cupboard and another double cupboard under the washbasin with a laundry basket incorporated. There is a full-size bath and this is totally enclosed with complete shower screening, making wet floors in the bathroom a thing of the past. Good-quality soap, shower gel and shampoo/conditioner were provided, also a hairdryer, shower mats and bath mats. There was a plentiful supply of toilet rolls, and no need for the “paper in the bin” here!
The bathroom towels and bed linen are changed every other day. In the bedroom there is a dressing table with mirror over, a range of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes with ample storage space and a full-length mirror. Clothes hangers are provided, plus extra pillows and blankets etc. The beds are extremely comfortable with very supportive mattresses. There are reading lamps on the bedside cabinets, and the lighting throughout the apartment is excellent, with the option of very bright lighting for reading/cooking etc, or more subdued for eating/watching TV (if that's what you want to do!). The lights on the balcony are also good for late-night reading.
The water supply is obviously filtered in some way as there is no residue left behind (as in some Greek hotels). There is also electric water heating available if, like us, you should get 3 days with no sunshine, so no need to go without a hot shower at any time. There is also air conditioning in both rooms, which we did not use but would probably be essential during mid-summer.
All in all, this apartment was everything we could have wished for, and because there are only four apartments in total it was very quiet and peaceful there. The owners had gone out of their way to make sure we were very comfortable and well provided for. They even made arrangements for car hire for us (and unless you are keen walkers a car is probably a necessity here), and on our last day we were able to take the car back to the airport and leave it there to be collected, which saved the cost of a taxi and made life so much easier for us at the end of our stay. So thank you, Kostas and Lionel – we had a fabulous holiday in an apartment which was as good as being in a private villa!

Costas and Lionel are the perfact hosts , from the welcome aperitif on our first night to the lovely dinner we shared with them one evening they are really nice people .

Comments: Lovely holiday accommodation in Kos
We stayed here for one week in September. The residence is in a lovely location with stunning views over the bay, along the coast and towards the hills. It was great to lie in bed and watch the boats in the harbour and see the sunrise over the bay.
Costas and Lionel are the perfect hosts, welcoming and hospitable, knowledgeable about the area but respectful of their guest's privacy.
Our apartment (ground floor) was comfortable, well designed, well equipped and quiet.
The gardens are beautiful with amazing views and a lovely pool, great for lounging and soaking up the peace and tranquility.
We hired a car for half the week and there are some great beaches and scenery nearby but you don't need transport as long as you don't mind the walk up the hill.
We would definitely stay here again.

Comments: Truly relaxing experience
What wonderful & accomodating people Costas & Lionel are. Their beautiful, peaceful, paradise draws you into total relaxation. Our ground floor apartment was all that we were hoping for, and we spent many enjoyable afternoons around the amazing pool.
It is impossible to fault the kindness and helpfulness of the owners. They were available at your every request, and were genuinely pleased to help. I can't find any faults at all, and would highly recommend this locale to all.
We hired a car as part of the deal. It was waiting at the airport for us, and we were underway less than 10 minutes after leaving the plane. Again just a demonstration of the owners silk proven operation.
If you are a party animal, this is not for you, but if require quality time and relaxation, I can think of no better. It is no wonder that all of the reviews are superb. Quite simply, they are all correct.

My husband and I made Kefalosbay Residence our honeymoon destination and couldn’t have been happier. It truly is the best place on the island! The views are incredible! Every morning we woke up to sunshine and beautiful blue waters. We were looking for someplace quiet to relax after our wedding excitement and definitely found the perfect place. The apartments are set apart from the main area so that when you sit outside on your terrace you have complete peace and quiet. The pool was amazing and there was never an issue finding a chair as there are more than enough for everyone. We rented a car for part of our time, but the days we didn’t we were very content to stay at the residence and enjoy the facilities there.
The best part of our stay was the incredible hospitality of Konstantinos and Lionel. Their kindness and knowledge went so far in making our stay perfect. Their attention to details were amazing. When we arrived at the apartment we found a fresh vase of flowers with a note from them wishing us a wonderful honeymoon. My husband especially loved the iced coffee that Konstantinos would bring us while we were sitting by the pool in the afternoon. They also had so much information on the best restaurants, the best beaches, and the best places to see. Any questions we had they knew the answers. On our way to Greece, my passport was stolen in Athens. When we got to Kos, Konstantinos made every effort to help me get everything sorted out in order to get a new one. He was so helpful and so knowledgeable about everything!
We really cannot say enough wonderful things about Kefalosbay Residence. If you are looking for a great Grecian holiday with peace and quiet but with lots to do nearby, than make sure you book a holiday to Kefalosbay Residence!

We have stayed on many of the Greek Islands over the last 20 years, always in self-catering accommodation and I can honestly say we have never found such a wonderful place as Kefalos Bay before.
The standard of the apartments are excellent, well designed and extremely functional. We particularly liked the insect screens on all the windows and French doors.
Lets you have the breeze blowing in at night without getting eaten!
There was air conditioning if you wanted it. Costa and Lionel made you feel really welcome and were around for advice if you wanted, but never intrusive. The Gardens and the swimming Pool were beautifully designed.
We would move out there tomorrow if we could and will definitely be booking again.

Beautiful location situated in a wonderful environment between mountain and
seeside with a stunning view at the bay of Kefalos and the surrounding
islands.
Loving garden site with a gorgeous swimmingpool - really the best location
to relax & enjoy.
Warm and hearty reception by the owners with lots of given infos & tips for
trips arround Kefalos and Kos island.
We were very comfortable in these nice appartments fully equipped and
offside from the loud tourist pathways. Best place for those who like to
spend their holidays more individually in a relaxed athmosphere. We can
really recommend this location we would come again anytime to this
beautiful place!
Many thanks to the owners Konstantinos & Lionel for this pleasant stay!

Staying at the Kefalos Bay Residence was the highlight of our trip to Kos.
The location is amazing, not just for Kefalos, but for the entire island. Its clean, quiet, calming, with stunning views of the bay and surrounding hillside, and everything you would need to make your stay comfortable.
The kitchen and bathroom were spotless and fully stocked. I think the best part, however, was being hosted by Kostas and Lionel, two amazing people who will do everything they can to make your trip the best it can be.
We took them up on all of their recommendations - for restaurants, hidden beaches and mountainous adventures.

We have just returned from our week?s holiday in Kelafos bay residence.
Having travelled to a number of European destinations, this is has been one of our favourites. The panoramic views are absolutely amazing from every single part of the apartment.
The owners are extremely welcoming and helpful and will do anything to make your holiday perfect. Having been around kefalos and the surrounding area Kefalos bay residence is by far the best accommodation, its facilities, cleanliness and practicality are 10 out of 10 and its location is perfectly situated in the middle between the village and then sea front.
I would recommend anyone to choose kefalos bay residence and we cant wait to return again next time.

Kefalos Bay residence !
We have just returned from a most enjoyable vacation on the enchaning island of Kos,where we were extremely fortunate to have chosen superb accommodation.
Initially it was the views from the apartments that attracted us and we were not disappointed as the vista across the bay with the little islands dotted around and the beautifully designed gardens exceeded all expectations;the pool area in particular was laid out in a very pleasing,imaginative style and as there are only four apartments on the site,was never shared by more than eight people and rarely that many so no jostling for sunbeds!
The furnishings in the apartment were of a good standard,nice quality drapes and clean comfortable mattresses;bedding and towels were changed every three days and the apartment cleaned at the same time,crockery and cutlery were complete matched sets not a collection of odd items,all the cooking equipment was good and plentiful with a more than adequate sized fridge/freezer,oven and hob.The outside space was quite large and a useful extension of the living area.
The owners live in their own house on site and were therefore on hand for advice and help but were not intrusive on one`s privacy,they were,friendly,courteous and knowledgeable.
If you are looking for a party atmosphere where you can drink the night away to dancing and loud music,then this is NOT the place for you,however,if you want a calm peaceful enviroment to unwind and soak up the local atmosphere in pleasant surrounding then we would not hesitate to recommend this vacation rental,we shall more than likely return here ourselves in the future.

Thank you both very much for your attention to our needs and thanks to Lionel for his daily labour in the garden to make them so beautiful, we will return.

As last year we spent 3 months in Kefalos Bay Residence. And we have already booked 3 months for next year. Why? Many reasons. The climate is much better than we are used to in Norway, the winds are more steady for Old Teddy(68) who still is absolute crazy about speedsurfing in Kefalos Bay, the nature are wild and beautiful, the greek people are friendly and helpful, the Recidence has everything a guest needs to have a good life free from frustrations - no practical problems, no trafficnoise, a very friendly and clever crew ? and of course the very special and wonderful garden which is a piece of art!

Kefalosbay residence is the perfect place for an idylic, sunny, relaxing stay.
We were looking for some late October sun, paradise beaches and a little luxury - and we got it all!
Konstantinos at Kefalos bay made us very welcome and went out of his way to make sure we were okay.
The accommodation on the site is made up of just 4 apartments and pool - they were first class, and the views were stunning. Although we had not planned on being up too early..we couldn't resist the sunrise each morning over the bay.
The residence is on a hillside facing the sea. Kefalos town is a 10 minute walk behind, the harbour and beach 10 minutes infront.
We hired a car and spent most of the days on the west coast of the island were we had some lovely sandy beaches and rolling waves all to ourself! Perfect place for watching the sun go down too.
We would recommend this holiday destination to couples who like a little exploring, playing in the sea, and are looking for some sun. We highly recommend kefalosbay residence as the perfect location and would love to go back and stay there again. Enjoy;)

I am an old windsurfer from Norway. Kefalos Bay is my spot no 1.
Steady winds and very good conditions for freestyle and speed. I have been there many times together with my wife Irene.
She is not a windsurfer. But she loves Kefalos because of the beautiful nature and the very good beaches. This summer we spent many weeks there. And for the first time we rented an apartment in KefalosBay Residence.
It will not be the last time we have already booked July, August and September next year. If you love magnificent view over the sea and mountains, a garden which make you happy, an apartment which is very practical, no noice from traffic and a very friendly and clever crew, we recommend KefalosBay Recidence!

Hi, we are Matteo and Chiara and we have been in Kefalosbay Residence from July the 27th until August the 10th.
The residence is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and furnished with finesse.
The thing we appreciated most was the spectacular view you can enjoy while you are inside the apartment! You can practically see all the bay and the beautiful Kastri Island.
Besides, the kindness and the helpfulness of the owner, Konstantinos, are incomparable.
If you are looking for a place to relax, recharge the batteries and enjoy the amazing aegean sea..Kefalosbay Residence is the right place for you!
If we are going to come back to Kos island we will surely stay at Kefalosbay Residence.

The apartments are well equipted, clean and quiet, which means you can sleep at night.
