Just got back from a weeks holiday at Lygies Studios with my friend. This is just what you’d expect from a basic self-catering apartment. The room was very clean and the beds were good. The balcony was stunning in the late afternoon/evening, as the sun came over to that side of the building! The pool was maintained and was always very clean! The room also had a fridge with a freezer part at the top, to keep drinks cold!

The air con worked well too; although I didn’t see anything on here or when I booked it about paying for it. It was €7 a day, and he charged us for 5 days for our 7 day stay. 

I would 100% recommend hiring a car for Kefalonia. This apartment/hotel is definitely more for people who would like a few pool days but want to explore beaches/other areas. The aparthotel is on a hill, and looking at reviews and driving up and down the hill, it looks tough - I wouldn’t recommend the walk to the shops of taverna, but it’s doable. 

Book this aparthotel if you want something basic but clean, you want a few pool days and want to explore other areas. It’s a very good base for Lassi, Argostoli (15 mins away) and Lourdes (10 mins away); Skala too, but it’s a 35 minute drive.

Lovely pool, basic rooms

If you visit expect all bells and whistles you’ll be disappointed. This is a basic family run place to stay that is clean and quiet. We used this place purely as a base to explore kefalonia from and it worked perfectly for that. 
Air con worked, bathroom all fine, kitchen very basic but it is what it is. Pool all lovey and quiet as well. Bar never open but that didn’t matter at all. Grounds were kept immaculate. 
My one complaint would be that the family need to invest in good quality mattresses. I felt every spring and they were rock hard so sleep was difficult at best. 
All said and done…… for 40Euros a night in the height of summer you can’t complain. 
One thing for sure. You definitely need a hire car to get to amenities and generally get around. This is a tricky place to get to on foot in heat.

Basic but good

We had a wonderful experience here at Katerina's. She is very nice. And the structure, including the swimming pool,  is very clean. We decided to stop here to go around the South part of the island and it was a great choice. The room has everything you need and so the little kitchen. Have breakfast every morning in the balcony was fabulous!!!

Consigliatissimo!!!

The place was nice and owners were lovely people but the only drawback was no wifi connection at all and only 1 tv channel at night in the room that we stayed in and that can get pretty hard with 3 kids.

Nice and quiet location

The description on Booking.com was exactly what we were looking for: 800 meters, 8 minutes walk to a sandy beach, 400 meters to shops and tavernas. Quiet accommodation with pool.
 
We thought it was going to be ideal for children without hiring a car and stupidly booked a non refundable family apartment. It was only about one month after booking that I decided to look on TrpAdvisor for restaurants and things to do in Trapezaki that I discovered thanks to TripAdvisor that Lygies Studios was much further away from the beach than 800 meters and a car was recommended, especially as the road uphill wasn't suitable for children or the unfit, lazy sort like myself. I attempted to get a refund both through the hotel owner and Booking.com but the owner had the final say and she would not allow it. 

I have asked Booking.com to change the description as false and misleading statements are actually against the law. They replied that they do not write the descriptions, the hotel owners write them and only after receiving complaints are prompted to update the text. I was glad to see the owner has recently updated the 800 meters to 1400 meters but this is still less than the real distance and it still says 8 minutes walk to Trapezaki beach. 

Lygies Studios is also advertised on several other sites, including its own web site and AirBnb. My opinion of Expedia.com has really gone up recently as it is the only site which says it is 1900 meters from Trapezaki beach, which incidentally is the distance quoted on Google.maps, a reliable source. Google maps says it is a 23 minute walk from Lygies Studios to Trapezaki beach but that does not take into account the steepness of the hill. It is calculated only on the road distance multiplied by an average walking time. The uphill walking time obviously depends on how fit the person is. Can 1900 meters up a steep hill be walked in 8 minutes? I guess athletes could do it, and soldiers with genetically altered DNA could easily beat it but it would have been very difficult for me to manage without a car so I unfortunately lost the entire pre-payed booking amount. 

I have submitted a claim on the Booking.com site and am hoping for a 15% refund. 
Surely Booking.com could use google apis to integrate an automatic road distance calculator in their CMS? After this painful experience I have realized that of course they could, but it is more profitable for them not to. They make a fortune out of over inflated tourist booking prices in Greece. Which probably explains why so many tourists travelling to Greece use booking engines to guarantee a roof over their head for the first couple of nights then pay cash locally at half the booking engine price.

The 1 star is out of annoyance for the false description on the Booking.com site which made it impossible for me to go and for loosing my entire hard earned money. It is no indication of the studio standard and I must say the photos do look very nice.

Lost my entire booking fee due to false description on Booking.com site

It was an awful experience. Very impolite hosts and untrustworthy. Too far from Argostoli and the famous beaches . I visited kefalonia with my gf and I almost managed to rule our holiday.. I wouldn't recommend it at all

Disappointing 

We went in early September . 35m father 32f mother 15f daughter . Arrived late at night and we found the bar etc closed . Lovely lady showed us to our basic but very clean apartment . Managed to get a bottle of water for the night and slept the night OK.  
Woke up to nothing for breakfast so we explored and eventually found a mini market 1 mile down the hill . We went up the hill to start with obviously . 
That day the pool bar opened ( closed after that)  but was out of most things. By the first night it was obvious we needed a car to enjoy the island . 
We had very good food at the restaurant by the market that night . 
The next day after a taxi to pick up a car our holiday really started . The island is absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to go back albeit not at Lygies . It's just too remote to be able to fully relax and enjoy the island . We were on a daily basis planning around getting back or staying in another town. Ideally we should have stayed at Scala or Fiskardo but live and learn.

There is a lovely restaurant down the beach 2.5k downhill which we went to a few times , well worth a look 

Taxis are expensive and there's only one possibly 2 restaurants within walking distance . We like a nightly stroll to different tavernas and a glass of wine . 

Nothing there for our daughter either . We only enjoyed ourselves when we were in different towns 



Location location location 

Excellent budget accommodation. We had mountain and sea view from our apartment. Roomy and clean. We were there late September, pool and pool bar not functioning, but we had only paid 20 euros per night. When we came to pay, no one knew how to work the credit card machine lol. You need a car as not a lot going off in the immediate vacinaty.

Good for the money

Very clean and good appartments and the owner is a very nice person.
The poolbar was closed all week and the appartments laying on a hill.
Walking to the sea is 15 minutes.
The first restaurant and a mini market is 1000 meters walking.
Kefalonia is a beautifull green eiland.
When you visit this appartments its nessesary to rent a car.

Holiday Lygies

Very friendly, clean family run studios in a very pretty area of the island. Would recommend the use of car to get about including the nearby beaches. Abundant local restaurants and lovely beaches. 20 minutes to the airport and town of Aggostoli
