although old fashioned with small rooms the good pool area and the location make this a reasonable place to stay. the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired but is adequate for a continental with toast, ham , cheese, two cereals and youghurt with juice and coffee or tea.

Recently returned from a fantastic holiday in Kefalonia based at the Tara beach Hotel in Skala. It was a brilliant place to be based.The pool and outside area are fanatastic.Very pretty gardens.The hotel is just across the road (very quiet road) from the gorgeous Skala beach, 5 mins to walk in to the town of skala which is tiny and...

We stayed here as a couple looking for a quiet relaxing break in the sun in early May and that is what we got. The Tara Beach is a lovely little B & B in Skala, Kefalonia right smack on the beach front. The hotel manager & his staff couldn't have helped any more. We had emailed the hotel in... More

What a lovely spot. We went for the last 2 weeks in July 2011. Right on the beach, people in the Tara Beach were lovely. This is a really good bed and breakfast, don't expect 5 star stuff because you havn't paid for it. However it's clean, in the best location in Scala with lovely people. The breakfasts were just...

A perfect place to base yourself in Skala. VERY close to the beach, and only a short walk from the shops, bars and restaurants, but quiet enough for a great nights sleep. Great pool, plenty of sun loungers, lovely gardens and good breakfast. Clean, functional rooms, and the overall hotel is very well run. Friendly staff. For the price, you... More

We had a sea view room which was brill (with a balcony ). As the season was nearly finished (2 weeks left) the whole of Kefalonia... More

Would agree with what most people are saying on here. Went back for a return visit, to a hotel in a beautiful location in a traditional Greek village atmosphere. The locals are friendly and plenty of traditional Greek tavernas serving generous portions of moussaka etc. at very reasonable prices, all washed down by jugs of the local house white wine... More

Good points - Great location right next to the beach, close to all the tavernas and shops, lovely clean pool area and pool, very pretty gardens and a beautiful building from the outside. The cleaners were very good and came in to the room every day. They were very friendly too, as was Christianna at the pool bar who was... More

Stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks in summer 2011. Hotel was basic with smallish rooms. Location was FANTASTIC, literally oppisite the beach and right by the centre of town. Excellent choice of restaurants near by. Let down was the size of the room, even though they all had balconies and mini, fridges. Also breakfast was extremely basic, just ham... More
