We stayed in Minas studios for a week Aug 29th - Sept 5th 2006 and were very happy with our accomodation. We had room 2 which had a beautiful sea view (see pic) and over looked the garden with palm & olive trees. Rooms were immaculatly clean and tidy and very spacious for studio apartments. Cleaners were polite and would wait for you to go out before coming in to clean. Fab pool at the Marianna, 2 mins away and Antonio beach a 7 min walk, absoloutly gorgeous! You can hire a fan for 1 euro a day from Lassi supermarket (Hi Stan | ||||||||||
) - opposite Marianna, and get all your bits and pieces there...fresh bread, bottled water, papers etc. Our favourite tavernas were Mystic Gusto and Zorbas, both of whom do good Greek nights, Zorbas esp! If your looking for a quiet beach holiday and be spoilt for choice of where to eat then Lassi is the place! Its more for families and older couples who really want to chill.....youngsters beware....no nightclubs, takeaways etc.....thank god!!! Definatly take a trip to Argostoli the capital, a 20 min walk away - we ate at La Gondola which was lovely but more pricey than eateries in Lassi. Overall Lassi is not typically Greek to look at, just a resort of hotels and apartments but locals are friendly and beaches are fab, too many to chose from! Gutted that they are not listed in First Choice 2007 brochure!Loved it so much, going back in 2007.....to live!| Sandi & Oli Ayres (Saturday, October 28, 2006) | View 2 posts by Sandi & Oli Ayres | |

| We went to Minas studios last October and it was only when I got back and found this site (while looking for this years hol !) that I thought I would respond. We had ... Room 11 !!!! ... I can see what people are saying - it was a bit dark and backed onto cleaners room ... but I enjoyed the privacy and the view of the orange tree .. we had great company in the people staying in number 10 .. in fact were are meeting them in Greece again this year ! When you go self-catering you can expect the minimum and I thnk we got more than that. Lets face facts - when you go self catering you don't spend a lot of time in the place- it suited us fine. October is the end of season but loads of places are still open and it's nice that everywhere isn't packed. The noise from the bar next door (in October) is minimal and it's a great place to stay ... I always try a different island but if I went back to Kef (which I hope to do) I would stay there again. | ||||||||||

| The appartments were large and bright, cleaning was 1st class cleaned every other day with clean sheets once a week. Although I asked for an upper floor when I booked (afraid of getting 10 or 11) we were given No 6 which although was on the lower ground was fine had a large patio at the back which looked out over a little garden, and being on the lower level it was cooler. Although the appartments have no air conditioning you can hire a fan fron Stans supermarket for 1 euro per day, come out of the appartments and turn right it is the first supermarket you come to at the top of the beach road. Stan can cater for all of your needs and is very helpful. The beaches are beautiful but not as good as some on the Greek islands. Lassi its self was a bit of a let down not much to do. Best food at Mystic Gusto and Nefeli. Best bar Veronica one of only three in the strip So simple bar very nice but very expensive, owner a bit odd I think he may be high on somethin more than life. Over all a nice holiday but dont think we will be going back to Lassi. | ||||||||||

| Have stayed here twice (2003 & 2004) in May/June and could not fault the accommodation either time. Clean, adequately equipped, great views over to Lixouri and delicious scents from Mystic Gusto next door. We did not notice any road noise at all, only the cockerels, but we were none too keen on the earth tremors last year! | ||||||||||

| My partner and i have just stayed at the Minas Studios during the last week of May 2004 and the 1st week of June. Although when we arrived at the apartment our first thought was this was smaller than we were used to, it is of a good standard for Greece and the main thing was that it was clean. We were lucky to have stayed on the 1st floor! The views were good, and we loved having the authentic Greek music playing from the restaurant next door-which was a good substitute for not having a TV or a RADIO. The Rep was helpful which was good as there is no reception. The location is ideal, right in the middle of the main road through the resort with good access to the shops, restaurants and the beaches. We had our best holiday ever in Kefallonia, we could not believe how beautiful the beaches and the sea and the landscape was. | ||||||||||

| Having stayed at the Minas several years ago we booked to go again in 2001 and were bitterly disappointed with our apartment. Whatever happened to no.10? All the adverse comments seem to be about no.11 but we stayed in the one next door which was dark and dingy with damp and broken glass in the front door. We didn't mind not having the views but like no.11 we couldn't leave the window open and the front door didn't seem secure or safe. Has anyone else experienced no.10? | ||||||||||

| I stayed in the dreaded room 11....ok, yes there was a moth-ball smell, I suspect it came from the old wooden wardrobe. Ventilation did open into the cleaners store room. But I have to say, what do you expect from a self-catering room ? Surely, if it is clean as this room was, it is somewhere to put your head down on a night.If your expectations are more, then may I suggest you stay in a hotel rather than self-accom. The veranda did not have a view of the lagoon as do the first floor ones but so what ! :-) I had an orange tree and the small garden, it was a quiet, pleasant place to sit and enjoy a drink...Of course you could always sit in the "Bandstand" gazebo, although it would benifit from a light when it becomes too dark. the minas is well placed for both shops and tavernas. Our rep Mary Leonard was superb, she was so friendly and helpful, well she is a yorkshire lass !! If you want a good base to stay whilst exploring this wonderful island then try the Minas | ||||||||||
