The hotel had a very comfortable feel about it, although an older property in need of some updating (which we were told would be happening ready for next year) the general ambience of the hotel was simply lovely. You could have a mountain (morning sun) or sea (afternoon sun) view and the pool and bar was beautiful after a day on the beach! Thank you for a great 10 days at your hotel, we loved every minute of our stay. The hotel's facilities and ambience were just what we wanted and we could not have asked for more friendly and attentive hotel staff from the housekeepers to the hotel manager, and these coupled with the lovely village of Lourdata and it's beach made for a wonderful holiday...the best we have had in many years. We will definitely be back again

The best thing about this hotel is the staff. They bend over backwards to help make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. Facilities are limited (it is 2 star) but just what we needed. Close to beach (a few minutes walk) nice pool for small hotel and adequate continental breakfasts.

Hotel staff helpful and friendly. Couldn't have wanted a better experience of my first visit to Greece and beautiful Kefalonia.

Lourdas is a lovely quiet little place and has a wonderful atmosphere. The hotel sits conveniently close to the beach,tavernas and mini markets. It's served by a local bus but very infrequently. I did a couple of the tours to see the island which were very good

Hotel was in a convenient location. Excellent beach in walking distance, with plenty of good facilities. All generations of the staff in this family run hotel were extremely helpful, courteous and friendly. The breakfast was plentiful, with good choices. Room were spotlessly clean, with regular linen changes and efficient air conditioning. The pool and poolside facilities were good.

The surroundings of the hotel are beautiful and & everything from the cute pool,flowers,trees,eating area,comfy lobby to wonderful staff-all complete a perfect picture and make you feel welcome! Breakfast had a decent selection of typical items, absolutely satisfying and the best part was having it outside, by the poolside surrounded by lush vegetation. We also loved spending our late evenings outside,playing cards,having a few drinks,chatting with guests and staff, listening to music. Drinks from the hotel bar are not expensive & bar even has a “happy hour”! Everybody was describing dreadful steep walk down to the beach and back to the hotel. I was mentally preparing myself for an ironman-like challenge.. It was fine and not that dramatic as I read in reviews: quite pleasant way down and a bit more sweaty walk up! :) Our family of 3 got the quadruple occupancy suite with 2nd bedroom so we had plenty of room..and since we were on the 3rd floor–we got an amazing sea view! The room was very simple,with typical in Greece simple beds (and not so comfortable mattress/pillows combo :)) and nothing fancy but it was very spacious and clean, with lots of closet space and even kitchenette. The best location after comparing others. Definitely great value for your money! Undeniably caring staff! 100% fantastic stay and time! I would without any hesitation stay in Hotel Lara again and again! Thank you, Lara family!

Fantastic place great value and the owners allowed me to utilise a space at the hotel for some dance teaching. Very nice family owned hotel

This is a very basic hotel. The room we stayed in was dark, hot and we could hear the neighbours exceptionally well. The bed was equipped with springs, so quite uncomfortable. The location is good, close to the beach, the staff was friendly, and the place was clean. Some easy points of improvement: the extra charge of 3€ per day for aircondition was weird to say the least. Also the breakfast was under par.

This hotel was adequate but at the top of a steep hill so be prepared for a climb back from the beach (going down is easy). The facilities were very clean but the room very disappointing. The beds are so hard we struggled to get a comfortable nights sleep. The shower provides little room for movement and the fixtures are obstacles. The balcony is very limited for space and chairs needed to be removed to enable opening of the shutters. The room however was well maintained, the domestic and bar staff extremely friendly and helpful. We found that the owner didn't engage very much with guests, but the atmosphere overall was pleasant. We would recommend that you hire a car for this location. There are some excellent tavernas in the area, but it's good to explore the vibrant Katelios, Karminia is the sandy beach just before Skala , the small port of Poros and a drive over the mountains takes you to the very beautiful Assos and then over to Sami.

The hotel was most welcoming places to eat were close by although a steep walk back from the beach side restaurants which were the better places to eat. You require beach shoes as the beach is not as sandy as pictures suggest. Overall a very nice place to go and relax.

The Lara hotel is a nice small hotel 5 minutes from the beach. Staff friendly & helpful.But too close to busy roads which made it noisy. No lift so not easy to carry cases upor down the stairs.But did enjoy my stay overall.

What a lovely hotel. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent food from lovely breakfast to great lunches and fresh, tasty dinners.. A lovely walk down to the beach, but hard work on the way back up to the hotel, though totally worth it when you jump straight in the pool.. Rooms are cleaned every day with fresh towels if needed.

Lourdata is a Beautiful small Village with a lovely white shingle beach, boasting some excellent restaurants. Lorraine's and Olive Lounge stood out, each with delicious locally sourced food, great service and idyllic locations. Lourdata is a great base for exploring the island, with easy access to other beaches such as Katelios and Scala, towns and villages of Argostolli, Sami and Fiskardo. The caves of Melissani and Drogarati are also worth a visit. The hotel is comfortable with helpful staff able to support with booking boat trips - Zante was a highlight -there is a fabulous Pola with cafe bar. This was a perfect relaxing and fun family holiday. We all fell in love with the island.

Very nice relaxing stay at this hotel. Lovely pleasant and friendly staff and great value for money.

Stayed for 2 weeks in July 2015. Friendly staff, clean room, ok breakfast, 5 minutes from beach.

If you're looking for all the creature comforts then this isn't the hotel for you. The rooms are typically basic for Greece, but spotlessly clean. A decent size with balcony where you could see and hear the sea. Again, breakfast is very typical for a Greek hotel. Greek yoghurt and honey; boiled eggs; bread and jam and cheese and ham. Lovely coffee as well. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. They make you feel at home straight away.

A beautiful family run hotel with lovely staff, lovely views and a great pool and patio. The proximity to the beach could not be better. The island is breath-taking but you need a car to really visit all the sites. Overall I had a brilliant stay and couldnt believe the value for money.

The rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable (with a small shower room, little TV, fridge and air conditioning). It's a short stroll to the beach, but is on a reasonably steep hill, so it might not be ideal for elderly people (especially in the heat). There is a pool and outside bar and seating area where it's easy to mingle and chat to fellow guests. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, which made for a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.
