Aenos Hotel

Right in the heart of Argostoli, in 1780, the family mansion of Louka Metaxa - Tzanatou - Kapsoliveri was built for permanent residence. It is important to note that the family was connected with very important historical events in Greece's modern history. At the time, the building had three floors with twelve rooms and large reception areas therefore after being used from the family for sixty five years it was easily rented to be a hotel in 1845 for the first time. Kefalonia had its first hotel running until 1941. During the Second World War, Mussolini's forces occupied the island and Aenos hotel was turned to the officer's club of Aqui Division, which was based in the center of the town.

After the liberation, Aenos Hotel was opened again accommodating travellers until again its operation was interrupted. This time it was the catastrophic earthquake in 1953 which not only destroyed the building but it also caught on fire and all its precious furniture was totally burnt.

After eight years, in 1961, the hotel was rebuilt with shops on the ground floor and eight rooms on the first floor. Since then it has changed a lot through years and will change again very soon!

Through years it has always been a hotel recommended for couples, business travellers and individual travelers visiting the island on business or holidays.
