  a Gem of a find

  07 Jul 2022

  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! Αικατερίνη Δήμα, Owner at Museum Hotel George Molfetas, responded to this review It was a mutual surprise to find so many common passions for the beautiful, the rare and the authentic. It was so nice to have met you. I admire your stamina to go up and own the steep hils of Faraklata. Thank you for remembering....

  Truly magical!

  06 Jul 2022

  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.

  A work of art

  27 Jun 2022

  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.

This is a sparce gift and you donated it to me. Your care did not s top there! You cared about my problem with the endless use of steps and the pain I had to face day and night, as the hotel/home was made to be run by a number of helping hands and at this universal minute, working hands are rare. With your help and suggestions I feel that I can fly within the month. I believe you will for ever be a magnificent sample of human integrity and sober kindness. Thank you dearly!

  Antidote to modern tourism.

  26 Sept 2019

  Travelling through the area we stopped at this hotel. We were welcomed by the owner and her dog who were very happy to show us around. This lady has a real passion to preserve the traditions of Greek life and the rooms are filled with authentic furnishings, books and memorabilia. They are simply beautiful! We were treated to coffee and had a very interesting conversation with the owner who was interested in our Irish background and our famous Irish poet Seamus Heaney who wrote about traditional home life in Ireland like her uncle George Molfetas did in Greece. We hope this establishment will be preserved for many years in the future. Αικατερίνη Δ, Owner at Museum Hotel George Molfetas, responded to this review Hello my dear ones. Your message represents so well my passion to tradition but also my passion for human contact. Meeting you both has been a welcomed present and a true joy. Thank you for your reviews. Love, Katerina.Have a friendly winter!!!!!

The breakfast was excellent with lots of homemade ingredients. The room was spacious and very clean.We will always remember our stay at this place when we think of Kefalonia. :-) Dreamcoordinator, Owner at Museum Hotel George Molfetas, responded to this review I am so happy to get the reviews of guests that can really understand that the passion of giving is the fire that keeps me going.
