Olive Garden Apartments - (Accommodation in Lassi)

Stayed here for two weeks (August 2002) – I have mixed views about the location – being half way up a mountain the views were spectacular – but it was a steep walk up and down the hill to the resort in the evening to find a restaurant. The accommodation was spacious, but not very well equipped; the kitchen area included a fridge, kettle and an old mini oven. The pool area was great – no fighting for the sun beds (BUT watch your fingers – the sun bed backs had a habit of collapsing!). I felt the bar prices were high – Olive Gardens charged 3 euros for a large beer, the same beer was only 2.5 euros in Lassi and only 1.10 euros in the supermarkets. The Olive Garden bar offers a range of excellent bar snacks, but unfortunately only at lunch times, so there’s no avoiding the evening walk down the hill! .Would I stay here again? Not sure, but if I did I would hire a small car (Lassi has more car hire outlets than shops!).As for Kefalonia - it has some great locations many far better then Lassi.

Just a further note, I see somebody asked if the apartments had a safety deposit box, well unfortunately they don’t, but we were able to securely lock all the windows and doors, so not really an issue. Also Colin Dixon asked about the room layout, well the apartments have two floors linked by a metal spiral staircase. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom, and down stairs a single bed, table, 5 chairs and a kitchen area – hope that helps.
