Doumas Apartments
(Apartments in Katelios)
 |
| |||||||||
The apartments bar and pool complex are very good. The rooms were certainly well kept. There are two problems with this place; the owner and the neighbourhood dogs. The owner, Mikhalis, is not a man of integrity and not to be trusted. We had our holiday ruined by him double booking and asking us to move out half way through our holiday; the holiday rep that sorted this out for us said that this was not the first time it had happened. The worst thing of all is the neighbourhood dogs next to the property which are kept chained outside at night. They bark incessantly throughout the night. We hardly slept at all because of this. This is not a place I would ever recommend although Katelios the town is lovely. | ||||||||||

We spent the ist week of Sept at the doumas. Room very basic (definately overpriced by Kosmar even
on a last minute deal) Pool and gardens lovely but family sooooooooo miserable and unfriendly). You
have to be out of room by 10.00 am and we had moved all belongings out and just having a last
coffee when the owner walked by and pointed to his watch and said time to leave, it was 10.05!!!
A tip if you have a late flight and dont wont to hang around the appartments our hire car company allowed
us to leave the car at the airport where they collected it. Would not return to the doumas but definately
would go back to this pretty and stunning Island.Staying at Ketelios you need a car. Also a must is Jerrys
for food .

The apartments are fine, pool good, Katelios marvelous. Only let down to the holiday was the ignorant owner and his family. Good friends if you're spending in their bar, non existent if you're not. (Bit like First Choice Rep). Some excuse the owners behaviour on his lack of English, although all the other Greeks you'll meet in Katelios will prove that wrong. | ||||||||||

| Me and boyfriend wanted a quiet, relaxing holiday in the sun away from
all the sterotypical 18-30 'birds and booze' Brits abroad , and this is
exactly what we got here. This was the most relaxing and restful
holiday in the sun I have ever been on. Doumas has a brilliant
pool with lots of sun loungers, the apartments are v.basic but
sufficient, plus from our balcony we had an absolutely amazing view of
the surrounding mountains and the sea. Some people on this site have
complained about Doumas' location. It is the last on the road, but
frankly we loved the 10 minute walk back from the (gorgeous) Katelios
village, as it gives you a chance to walk of the meze and robola !
Katelios is gorgeous, lovely people, great restaurants. I would
recomment Jerry's, who is the really really friendly greek owner, the
Albouro for lunch, the katelios taverna and Ostrias for dinner. For a
pre dinner drink, The music bar is a beach front shack kinda place
which plays mainly new-agey kinda music, its great. The downside of Doumas is that the male owner is really really unfriendly, walks about with a face like thunder and ordered us out the pool at 7.30pm on the dot when he wanted to close the pool. You don't gop on holiday to be ordered about !!! We therefore did not give his bar any custom, which frankly had a rubbish menu and had extremly over priced drinks compared to all other places in Katelios. Oh yes, we went on an excursion organised by the rep but 
if you can , rent a car, unfortunately we couldn't as we were too young
(21) the minimum age is 23, as then you'll be able explore this
fabulous island.In a nutshell, Katelios is absolute paradise, Doumas has the best pool, although for people who don't like walking, try somewhere more in the village! I'd go back in a second !!! | ||||||||||

just come back from a fortnight at Doumas and what can you say it was fantastic. the family are a lovable, friendly and kind. Koreena's cooking is to die for (especially the oven potatoes!) and micks BBQ's are second to none. also the boys Sakis & Spiros made great cocktails/drinks. fantastic time had, didn't want to leave, and no problems at all with cats.
can't wait for next September!

we returned from the doumas studios on 7/6/2005, we are in love with the place, the doumas family are brilliant, mikalis, koreena, peny, sikas were all very welcoming and friendly, korrenas food was the best we tasted in the whole of kefalonia and that is seriously no lie. everything is fresh. the gardens are beautiful and the whole family work very hard all day. the cleaner there is also very good and you have to appreciate what a good job she does and how hard she works, the rooms are cleaned everyday and bed sheets changed every other day. it is about a 10 minute walk down to katelios but i feel doumas is in the prime spot. out of all the other appartments we saw in kefalonia doumas was definelty the best looking. all the guests we met were friendly. i really cant praise doumas enough. 5 stars ***** | ||||||||||

| Stayed at Doumas for 1 week on 5th Oct 2004. The place was very clean and the pool & pool bar very attractive. Studios with a balcony had lovely views over the sea at Katelios. Very quiet apart from the night when dogs at a neighbouring home continually barked keeping a lot of holidaymakers awake. Studios cleaned and linen changed regularly but the beds were very hard!! A lovely place to stay if the owners were a bit more sociable and made their paying guests feel a little more welcome. | ||||||||||

| I stayed at Doumas for a week on Oct 5th. Nice studios, linen changed regularly but the beds were hard. A lot of people staying there had problems sleeping due to dogs kept at the neighbouring property barking continually. The pool & pool bar was excellent. The owners do need to start socialising more with their holidaymakers though as they did come over as not being too friendly. Lovely views down to the sea at Katelios. | ||||||||||

| Just back from two weeks hols at Doumas Apts in Katelios. If you want a quiet, chilled holiday this is the place for you. Get a car so you can visit all the sights on this beautiful island (Jeep if you can - some white roads are a bit scary!). Apts very nice, electrics not great but what the heck! A bit of a walk home at night, you'll need a torch and a strong pair of legs after a few pints! Good tavernas on the beachfront, careful of Medusa can be a bit pricey! Pool lovely and food in bar far exceeds the photos on the food board!! Enjoy. J n D | ||||||||||
