It didn’t meet my expectioms. Apart from Mary which was great and knowledgeable there was just a lack of knowing how to relate with a guest in a 5 star hotel. Many employees but little or no 5 star knowledge. Pool was nice, restaurant serves continental cuisine and it is steps away from emblissi beach.
Beautiful property, wonderful staff, excellent SPA personnel.
My wife and I had a fantastic week, probably the most relaxing place we have stayed at. We will definitely return
We were most impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of staff, the excellent cuisine, the magical setting and great location. Perfect for relaxation, indoor and outdoor activities, organised social events, and walking distance to Fiskardo and nearby beach. Ideal as a resort holiday or using the resort as a base from which to explore Kefalonia and neighbouring islands. Would highly recommend.
This is a fantastic family hotel. Great value for money. Mary the concierge was incredibly helpful and friendly, organizing planed activities for us. We can’t thank the hotel enough for making this a wonderful holiday. The location is great, beautiful pool, great swimming by the rocks. Big rooms, delicious breakfast!!
Very relaxing hotel , good spa , close to harbour. Better if hire a car to see local attractions. Excellent for yoga, better for adults. Beautiful for breakfast. Amazing views.
Beautiful location and room was perfect for our stay. Quick walk to Fiskardo, lots of beaches to explore nearby with a car. Also lots of activities onsite like yoga and tennis. Great breakfast buffet too.
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was buffet style, lots of lovely fresh options to choose from. Pool area is fabulous. Would highly recommend
Superb location and exquisite hotel - my 4th visit - it’s so relaxing and the attention to detail is amazing. Shuttle car takes you down to fiskardo and everything is just easy & well thought through
Hotel complex was beautifully presented and watching the sun set from the main pool/restaurant was amazing.
Our room was modest, but nicely furnished.
Our only real issue all stay was a tardy response to requests. Not quite 5 star level.
We asked about extending our stay and they finally replied at 11:30pm, by ringing our room and waking us up. Very peculiar and unprofessional!
Fiskardo is a sensational base from which to explore. The harbour is so picturesque.
We enjoyed a day trip to Vasiliki.
What an amazing hotel! The property is stunning, the views are amazing, the staff is friendly and always willing to help or just answer questions. The location near Fiskardo is great as it's only a 10 minute walk to town.
A very unique hotel, like a (big) boutique with family style service. Excellent breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay. Very attentive staff. Good facilities. Pleasant atmosphere!
It was a spectacular stay! Relaxing, beauty around every corner, excellent service, and a place we would definitely return to. It is family run and so charming. Loved the pools and the oceanfront setting - so nice to jump into the ocean! Rooms were comfortable and cool. We didn’t use the tennis courts, but did use the gym. Also had access to bikes. Walking distance to Fiskardo which is nice to walk around. Many great tavernas and restaurants in nearby towns we enjoyed - Alia’s, Veggera, Keffa-Ionia..
Great facilities and pretty views everywhere. Parking is limited and not close to rooms but you do not need the car. They will cart your things and you do not need to leave the place.
Absolutely beautiful hotel. Breakfast was amazing, pool areas and views stunning. Would highly recommend!

Our second stay, room a little tired. The breakfast is very good, staff helpful and friendly. We loved the adults only pool.
The only this that spoilt it was the penny pinching attitude to in-room drinks; charging €1 each for tea bags is beyond mean! We went out and bought our own.

This is an amazing family run hotel and quirky. The rooms are small, very dated in their design and dark but always perfectly clean. We would go back at the drop of a hat but see if we can get a modern room
When I booked, nobody told me there would be a wedding at the hotel that day. Because of that, one of the pools was closed and we couldn’t enjoy all the facilities. I complained but nothing was done to make up for the inconvenience. Breakfast was great. The cleaning could’ve been better — the bathroom wasn’t fully cleaned. The place itself is super nice, but the lack of communication really hurt the experience.
We had a wonderful time at the hotel. We just off a 10 day cruise and we needed a place to unwind and relax.
Great room and property, the food was excellent!
I highly recommend this hotel.
