Museum Hotel George Molfetas

What an amazing experience staying with Katerina. She has devoted herself to restoring this exceptional building and also providing the best hospitality I've ever received. The service reflects the soulful dedication Katerina has given her life's work- its perfection! Katerina gave us her attention and her heart (Noah the dog too) we loved hearing about the journey she has taken with this hotel and tasting her homemade breakfast and liquor. You will never find better. As one of her few crazy tourists to come without a car she included us on her own trip out so we could see Argostoli and also dropped us at a local restaurant (Family grill, great food). The mini market two minutes away was super friendly and made homecooked meals which I'd definitely try if i were you. Lovely to hang out with the locals and take in the village life atmosphere. I enjoyed walking around the back streets of the village and finding the odd walnut or lemon tree to liberate of its fruit. I would liked to have seen more of the area. I fully recommend booking this accommodation and allowing yourself to meet Katerina and her work of art. Such a special place and a special person. X

We were fortunate to arrange a night at the Museum Hotel George to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. From the minute we walked through the arched wooden gates, we were not just transported back in time but into tranquility. This is truly a unique and beautiful hotel, and the attention to detail in the restoration is outstanding. Katerina is a wonderful host and greeted us with a bottle of fizz and fresh fruit. Our room was beautifully decorated with antique furniture and interesting memorabilia. The bathroom had olive oil toiletries, slippers, and robes. The breakfast was delightful with fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, yogurt, organic muesli, homemade bread, and coffee. Katerina just oozes everything a host should be and made us feel very welcome and at home. Having invested 15 years of her life into the restoration and running of the hotel, you can hear the passion in her voice when talking about Museum Hotel George. We could have spent days listening to her stories. We would have loved to have had the pleasure of dining with Katerina, but like many in the hospitality trade, Katerina lost her staff during COVID, has struggled to reemploy and so there is just not enough of her to go around. I would have honestly given up my summer term holiday to help in lieu of staying in the magic bubble of the Museum Hotel George Molfetas. It is truly magical, and thank you once again, Katerina, for the book. I will treasure it forever.

We stayed a couple of nights after only intending to stay for one, while cycling around the island. Katerina is such a lovely person. Very interesting, very caring and a great host. The hotel is very beautiful and interesting and Katerina has made it into an tranquil oasis. A Gem of a find!

Am Ende meiner kleinen Rundreise auf Kefalonia verbrachte ich 3 Nächte bei Katerina und ihrem reizenden Hund Noe. Das Dörfchen Faraklata ist klein und ursprünglich, mit dem Auto 15 Minuten von Argostoli entfernt. Mein (lila) Zimmer war tadellos sauber, das Badezimmer eine Offenbarung! Das Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt, Gebäude und Garten sind wunderschön und alles ist geschmackvoll und originell eingerichtet. Katerina beherbergt ihre Gäste mit Leidenschaft und überall ist die Liebe zum Detail erkennbar. Sie empfahl mir schöne Buchten zum Baden und eine wunderbare Taverne am Meer. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, jeden Morgen ein Genuss! Auch über ein von Katerina zubereitetes Abendessen durfte ich mich freuen. Unvergessen der letzte Abend, als wir mit Noe über die Brücke nach Argostoli spazierten… Herzlichen Dank für die interessanten Gespräche, liebe Katerina! Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt - und wer weiss, vielleicht sehen wir uns irgendwann wieder ;-)
