Museum Hotel George Molfetas

Top choice in Kefallonia


One-of-a-kind boutique guesthouse with six rooms that are a monument to the art, antiques and general bric-a-brac one family can gather, and it's all been put together with the eye of a natural artist. The garden courtyard is a masterpiece of earthy oranges and big flowers, and owner Katerina is a born raconteur.

In case you're wondering, the place is named after famed 19th-century poet George Molfetas, but no, it's not a museum.
