Liberatos Village

"Fair to say, we won’t be returning. Our welcome from a yawning receptionist didn’t fill you with confidence as he accompanied us to our room. The room was clean but very ‘tired’ & basic. Minimal equipment is provided (no food prep knives/equipment) and not even a tea towel or sponge to wash up with. I’m not sure how anyone trying to self cater would cope. There is nowhere comfortable to sit and relax- just hard metal chairs on the small balcony. The view from the balcony is one of the few positives. The only seating inside the apartment is a hard, wooden framed bed with no back. If you don’t have a car, the walk back up from the beaches/restaurants is steep. Lassi itself might be a good location for exploring the island but it is basically one busy road lined with hotels, shops, car hire places and restaurants therefore unattractive. We personally wouldn’t recommend it but each to their own. We had breakfast by the pool on the first morning which was OK apart from the ‘freshly squeezed orange juice’. I have never seen orange juice separate before with the solids settling at the bottom of the glass. Turns out it the ‘juice’ included processed peel which you had to spit out. Shame on you. Our holiday was distinctly tainted by our experience at Liberatos Village - so much so we found alternative accommodation in Fiskardo and Assos and finally began to appreciate how beautiful the rest of Kefalonia is."

"Our 2nd visit, this time we had a refurbished room on the pool level: much nicer than the previous one with a kitchen up the hill. Great pool and sun loungers with a fab view: these are the highlights. In the room, decent shower, fridge, kettle, hair dryer and comfy bed with super clean bedding and fresh towels. It is very clean. Pool bar is not cheap so stock up in the supermarket and enjoy a drink on your terrace."

"My first impression of Liberatos Village was shock at the steep hairpin inclines to get near to the top of the hill where the apartments were sited. I was not aware of this from the booking site. I found out online this is affectionately known as Heart Attack Hill and I fully understand why! This hotel is definitely not suited to people with mobility issues. Even the youngsters were struggling up the hill in the heat. Upon arrival there was sadly no warm welcome or friendly greeting. However the views and the pool were fantastic and made up for everything else that was lacking. The apartment was very basic, although happy to report there was good air conditioning which was a god-send in the heat. The food at the snack bar was limited and very disappointing. I chose to eat out mostly. Unable to recommend the Liberatos Village. Overpriced for a basic apartment in a tricky location. My advice would be to get an apartment closer to the sea with friendlier staff."
