stayed here 26 may for one week 2007 had apartment 302 ,fantastic view over pool and sea .great hotel brilliant pool five minutes from restaurants and bars but still nice and quite. all of hotel very, very clean. can;t fault it at all.booked again for nexy year mike and lyn
Just got back yesterday (26th Sept) and we cannot fault the staff at the Lorenzo Hotel, room was cleaned everyday, yes it was basic - but when you are on holiday how long do you spend in your room ?? It was my birthday while i was there and i had a bottle of wine from the staff and, unknown to me my boyfriend had sent them a fax asking if they could arrange for some flowers to be delivered - and they had sorted this for him - i would would recommend this Hotel. We had a ground floor room facing the pool area and this is the the view we had.
We are hoping to stay at the Lorenzo House Apartments and would like to know if anyone can tell me if they are located on the main road and if traffic noise was a problem, as my lady struggles sleeping with constant traffic noise as we experienced last year. Would appreciate any info.
Just got back from staying here. Staff were very friendly. Try to get a sea view room if staying here as the view is beautiful. Rooms were clean and basic, no fridge in the room but there are communal fridges in the bottom lobby to put what you need in it in a numbered bag. Sounds risky but we had no problems with it. Rooms have a/c but this costs 5 euros a day. The cocktail bar and tv lounge both have a/c. If your planning any excursions I would highly reccomend you got to Etam in the Main street as this is much cheaper than going through your holiday rep.
Just returned from a great holiday in the Lorenzo Hotel in Lassi June 2006.
Excellent hotel, very clean, great situation in centre of resort, 2 mins from beach, very friendly staff.
Don,t miss Makris Galios beach about 10 mins walk from the hotel, absolutely beautiful. For great food go to Pheadra's on main road. Lovely island, hire a car and go north.
Rooms are definately better at the back as you have a view over the pool and will see the fantastic sunset, going back here on the 13th of June can't wait rooms are basic but clean, but as we only sleep and wash there what else do you need. close to the beach/bars/restaurants perfect spot really
We are a family of 4 two boys aged 10 & 13 who are going to Hotel Lorenzoin June is it suitably quiet for a family or very noisy ?
Has anyone stayed in the appartments for 4 peop;e and how do they fair? Thanks Fiona.
We stayed at the Hotel Lorenzo from September 6th until September 20th, the staff were lovely all could speak good English, everywhere was clean we would go back to that hotel.
Good place in Lassi for eating was San Lorenzo Restaurant good food and lovely staff.
Just returned from two weeks at the Lorenzo hotel.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the cleaners do a good job of keeping the hotel spotless.
Unfortunately the room (number 235) we stayed in was very noisy since it was situated next to the lift and the staircase and directly above the reception entrance, so there was a lot of noise from people coming back at night (up to 2am), talking, shouting, banging doors etc.We found this quite stressful and asked to be moved to a quieter room but was told that the hotel was fully booked.
One other problem was that the water supply to the shower slowed down and stopped at peak time when everyone was showering (when people were preparing to go out for the evening). We were informed that this was normal, so took to showering much earlier.
When entering the shower room & toilet, the door would not open properly but banged against the sink which was directly opposite the door. The plastic toilet seat was broken when we arrived but we did manage to get it put right the next day once we had spoken to the rep about the problem.
We went on tours and boat trips with Etam Travel and found them to be good and cheaper than the ones arranged via the rep. 8 euros less each on one trip. Etam's tour guide for the trip was Esme - what a character, she was so interesting and told you everything you wanted or needed to know about the excursion.
We found "Mythos" restaurant and "The Captain's Table" in Argastoli (near the square) to be two of the best, also "Tranta" in Lassi, all serving wonderful Swordfish etc.. Not forgetting "Premier" a well stocked cake and icecream cafe in the square at Argostoli.
Would we go back to the Lorenzo again? we don't think so.
I have just come back from Lassi in Kefalonia. I enjoyed the local cuisine. the friendly people and it was nice and quiet just what my husband and I enjoy. The hotel was clean and tidy and the staff very nice. the only fault I have is the room (236) you had to sit sideways on the toilet as the wash hand basin was too close to the toilet. The beaches around Lassi are excellant. Breakfast was what I liked yoghurt, honey, ham, cheese etc but unfortunately not if you liked a cooked english breakfast. The pool was fantastic. What more can I say, had a great time found a nice bakers shop in Agostoli, plenty of sunbathing and great hospitality. A fantastic holiday in Kefalonia at the Hotel Lorenzo.
Just had a great holiday at this hotel. Rooms are fine - typically Greek, marble floors, basic furniture - and very clean. We thought the breakfast was good, but then we don't expect an "all you can shove down your throat" buffet in Greece. If you want a full cooked, go to Blackpool. Staff were very friendly. Didn't use the pool - too many good beaches within walking distance.
The island is one of the most beautiful we have been to. Hire a car and explore. We went in August and the only crowded beach was Antisamos (the one where Captain Correlli was filmed).
Can't understand all the fuss about Oskar,s, though. Food very average. I recommend going there once, just to witness the jaw dropping naffness of the "entertainment" - a bloke throwing a stick in the air and catching it; squirting lighter fuel on the floor,lghting it, rolling up his trousers and "dancing" in it! Surreal. Greek dancing is an aquired taste - most people look very uncomfortable and embarrassed to me.
If you want good food, especially vegetarian, try Phadra's on the Lassi main drag.
We have stayed in various hotels in Lassi over the last 14 years and although the Lorenzo is in a great position with excellent views and a good pool area we felt the accomodation was not to the standard you would expect with small rooms and even smaller balconies. The breakfast was tasteless and unimaginative. The cocktail bar was very expensive and the very pretty girl was very prone to giving short measures and overcharging. We say several arguments and in the end took to drinking elsewhere. We however felt the rest of the staff were friendly and will be returning to Lassi sometime as it is a good resort.
Just got back an hour ago from our hoilday in kefalonia. This hotel was fantastic. The rooms were cleaned every day and nothing was to much trouble for the staff.The breakfastr was abit boring but not the end of the world. Excellent location and brilliant pool. Would highly recommned this hotel.
