Fantastic
We were a happily surprised by our stay as the property is much better in person than in the photos. The owner, Stavros, is an incredible host and takes great pride in providing the best experience possible in every way. The common space is a huge, shaded patio with gorgeous plants and comfortable seating overlooking the charming port town. Location is fantastic and a short walk to many restaurants, etc. The bed was super comfortable (unlike so many we’ve experienced in Greece). We loved the island and would definitely return to Ballas!

Ballas is beautiful - a lovely stay
I loved staying at Ballas Apartments. The property itself is run by Stavros whos a pretty cool dude. The property overlooks the sea and has an amazing outdoor space you can just chill on a variety of lounges etc and just look at the amazing view. There is also access to the water for a quick dip. The room was spacious and included a small kitchen which was very handy. the bathroom was newly renovated and adequate. Stavros was also so kind in having my earbuds i had left there sent to me in Lassi via a friend of his who is a taxi driver. Free. So that was amazing. Please visit these smaller places rather than the larger conglomerates.. Agia Efimia is so beautiful too. Im glad I decided to stay here instead of Sami.

Lovely place to stay
Such a lovely stay, Stavros is an amazing host, so friendly and helpful, he even let us borrow a beach umbrella! Gave us lots of advice regarding beaches and attractions and he was always welcoming and kind. The rooms are clean and well furnished. We slept comfortably. The location is excellent, Agia Efymia is a little village, very relaxing, ideal if you have a car so you can explore the island.

10/10 Exceptional

The apartments was exactly how we imagined, i.e. wonderful view, clean, well equipped etc. My only comment is that Stavros went a bit over the top in my opinion in repeatedly asking us "is everything ok, is everything perfect?". Possibly he genuinely was concerned that we were enjoying ourselves, but it felt to us that he was just worried in case he didn't get a perfect rating/review, and we felt uncomfortable. Sorry if we came to the wrong conclusion, but this is how we felt. Also, it's not a good idea to explain a simple concept to my partner four times, and each time ask him if he understands (even if "do you understand?" was just a turn of phrase). However, Stavros was much more friendly and natural on check-out, so possibly I misjudged him. I only mention all this so he can see things from the customer's perspective. We very much appreciated everything else, such as the cleanliness of the apartment, the free wine/cake etc, and the printing off of our boarding passes. If I leave any other reviews they will of course be glowing.

Excellent Hotel, Would Recommend
My girlfriend and I stayed at Ballas for a week in mid May. Excellent location looking across the harbour at all the restaurants & tavernas (I think a better view than staying in town personally). A 5 minute walk around the harbour to shops, tavernas and boat/car hire. The host is amazing and helped us out a number of times booking taxis and recommending activities for a day. Would definitely recommend.

8/10 Very good

Traditional with extras!
As Stavros says' guests are happy when they arrive so keeping them happy throughout their stay is easy! Wine and cakes awaited us when we were shown to room 9. The view from the balcony was amazing. Rooms 7 and 8 also have the same views. Complimentary hot drinks were stocked up every morning as was shower gel, shampoo and toilet rolls. Tea towel, washing up liquid, scourer and other little extras were also provided. The double bed was the best we have slept in in Greece. Any queries or requests Stavros will sort it. Watching the sunrise over Ithaca from our room at 6.30-700am in the morning was breathtaking and I have pictures that I,ll cherish forever.Stavros also offered to do any washing we required,even our two case fulls but we only gave him our beach towels. The apartments have beautiful gardens with plenty of seating. There is a lovely little cove for sunbathing and swimming about 100metres up from the apartments down a road next to the cemetery. The main harbour area is only a 5-10 minute stroll away down a gently sloping road. There is also a wall mounted TV in the room with a few English channels including BBC news. If you like a small, friendly, relaxing, comfortable place to stay, don't hesitate book it!!!

Outstanding!
My husband and I stayed at Ballas Appartments from 15-26 June and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The location is superb - just a short walk into the village of Agia Efimia where there are a good choice of tavernas, a couple of small supermarkets, ATMs, bakers, hairdresser. Our favourite tavernas were The Local and Pergola. Being located in the middle of the island, Agia Efimia is an ideal base for touring. The rooms are meticulously clean with daily housekeeping and had everything we needed - hairdryer, fridge, aircon, etc. We stayed in Room 9 with the most memorable sea view ... it was such a joy each day to sit out on the balcony at breakfast or in the evening with a glass of wine and experience the 'colours of Kefalonia' ... the turquoise sea framed by the pink bougainvillea trailing across the balcony whilst watching the activity on the harbour. There is also a pretty communal garden and terrace overlooking the sea with plenty of shade and sun loungers, tables, chairs for guests to enjoy with steps leading down to the sea. What made the stay 100% perfect was the hospitality and helpfulness of the friendly and ever attentive owner, Stavros, who is dedicated to ensuring that his guests have a wonderful time at Ballas Appartments.

Stay here!
We had such a nice stay at Ballas it was almost hard to leave. The best host we have encountered in Greece. From the gardens there is an amazing view overlooking the small harbour. The apartments are located in the little gem of Agia Efimia with good tavernas and grocery shops a short walk away. The fridge in the room was a little noisy and we unplugged it as we had no use of it, but we would definitely stay at Ballas apartments again if going to Kefalonia. We would recommend the apartments to anyone who would like a nice and cheap holiday apartment from which you can experience Kefalonia.

A small slice of paradise
My wife and I stayed for 7 nights at Ballas Apartments. The apartment was clean. Stavros is an amazing host. We had a couple of days when there was a problem with hot water, however Stavros' honesty about the problem and efficiency was appreciated by both of us. There were small touches that made this little gem even more endearing like the complimentary bottle of water on arrival. Free bottles of local White, Rose and Red wine and a surprise package of the best baklava we've eaten in our life. Agia Efimia town centre is just a short walk away. Ballas serves as an excellent spot to travel to beaches to the South -Skala; West - Lixouri and North- Fiskardo. We would happily return to Ballas and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing budget holiday. :)
