"This hotel is a hidden gem in Kefalonia at Sami beach. From the minute you arrive you are made to feel welcome. No request is too difficult for the front desk staff. Customer service in all areas is exceptional. Breakfast morning staff greet you everyday with the genuine smiles on their faces. Facilities inside the room and in the grounds are clean, well kept and inviting. Pool environment & bar is great. Both ocean view and mountain view rooms offer great views of the surrounding area. Well done to the family who owns this hotel."

"Second visit back to Garbis Villas and all was as we remembered - peaceful, welcoming, great views, relaxed but professional hosts. Amazing views across to Zakynythos and down to Lourdas Beach. Rooms cleaned daily and fresh towels/sheets throughout our visit. A very special place that is a slice of heaven. We will be back."

"Beautiful hotel in a very scenic location. The facilities are excellent and so was the breakfast. Very friendly staff as well."

"Fantastic small friendly hotel. Lovely staff. Nice pool area. Short walk to bars and restaurants. Perfect if you like the quieter sort of hotel without hundreds of rooms and loads of restaurants and bars. Tranquil escape ideal for couples."

"The scenery is very good, breakfast is average"

"We had a wonderful weeks holiday this month, location is stunning with a little cove beach which is like a little peace of paradise. The staff were all lovely. Our rooms tidied beds made and clean towels everyday. We had a lovely family holiday would return again.Lovely food in the hotel if you want to stay and eat lunch or evening meal. Is a bit of a walk into town but really lovely restaurants ,you can get a taxi for 8 euro or the hotel can give you a transfer for 2 euro each. Pool is lovely with stunning scenery all around."

"We stayed here for one night after a weeks sailing holiday. It is honestly a wonderful hotel, super clean, fantastic views, food and drinks. But the real heroes are the wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough for you, especially the manager. 5* stay, thank you "

"I came here for a week in June with my husband. It delivered on every level. The view was incredible: purple sunsets, clear blue skies. The pace of life was calm and soothing. The food was delicious (we did half board and thought it was excellent value for money). The facilities were great: main pool was pretty, there were always plenty of sun loungers and you could have cocktails (/wonderful draught Alfa beers) delivered to you while you read a book. Other guests were generally respectful of the atmosphere - no loud conversations etc. - and that really helped contribute to the ambiance. The staff could not have been more friendly. The gym was decent enough for a week of workouts. You can take your pool towels down to the beach (where two sun loungers can be yours for 20€ per day) and if you want to rent bikes or a car, the concierge can arrange for them to be delivered to the hotel for you. If you’re looking for a stunning view, excellent facilities, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, then you would struggle to find much better than this. It’s worth knowing that there are 4-15 flights per day that go overhead, but you get used to them and they don't run late into the night or early in the morning! Oh, and you can get to Argostoli by bus (30ish mins) and the bus stop is 100m from the hotel. Taxis from the airport are mysteriously 20€ (even though it's a 5 min journey) but some drivers are amenable to haggling. If you don’t want to eat lunch at the hotel every day, you can grab a sandwich and a beer from Tropicana, also about 100m from the hotel."

"Nice staff in perfect location. Very good brakfast. Position very nice."
