The Sunrise Inn Hotel is located in Pessada in the former Municipality of Livatho, Kefalonia. Recently renovated in 2011, the hotel features single, double and triple rooms and apartments. It also boasts a large, open-air veranda with endless views of Mount Ainos in the East and the Ionian Sea in the South, with Killini in the distance and Zakynthos across the sea.

This family haven will treat you more as a friend than a customer; the staff’s impeccable service, spontaneous smiles and willingness to help you discover the island’s beauties will definitely bring you back, eager to share this experience with your friends, colleagues and acquaintances.

The hotel also features a restaurant, garden and swimming pool, making it ideal for wedding or baptism bookings.

Hotel history

If you were to visit this exact spot in the beginning of the 1900s, you would find a soap factory where our hotel stands today. We continue this tradition by offering our customers bars of soap made from pure olive oil. Nearby, one would find the house of the mayor of Levitho and the radiant church of Saint Catherine, which hosts a grandiose celebration every year on 25 November.

Today, the hotel is built on the same space and features a small romantic chapel that preserves some of the ancient icons from the church that stood here before the 1953 earthquake, in addition to the precious icon of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou. There is a grandiose festival twice a year, on 25 November in celebration of Saint Catherine and on 28 July in celebration of Saint Irene of Milous, where apples are distributed, a symbol of fertility and Adam and Eve’s disobedience. The chapel is also available for wedding bookings.
