We loved the spacious living area and well-equipped kitchen, but the outside was so special - we ate every meal on the terrace and used the bbq every night. The heated pool was gorgeous and so much bigger than we expected! Our host Rosanna was very helpful and easy to contact, and she had provided some food essentials when we arrived, which was a nice touch. The daily housekeeping was much appreciated too....

"Emelisse resort was fantastic! Beautifully maintained and clean rooms, convenient location within walking distance to Fiskardo (alternatively on site shuttle upon request). The resort had a number of excellent amenities, including sports, games, spa, pools, private beach/access to ocean, plus much more! Most staff were very helpful, especially when it came to my nut allergy (although I will say, some staff were slightly arrogant which was unpleasant at times). The breakfast was delicious and had a good selection which varied each day. There was free gated parking available onsite). We would not hesitate to return!"

10/10 Excellent
"Thalassa Boutique Hotel is a very nice property. The rooms are a good size with a nice balcony. It offers two pools, a very nice outdoor bar/lobby and a wonderful restaurant. I would say the only setback was the construction right across the street from the hotel which made the road to the beach dirty and dusty. Honestly we found Costa Costa beach which is a 9 minute walk and we went there every day bc it was fabulous. The rooms are very clean. They change linens and towels every day and the cleaning staff is so sweet and friendly. They come into your room every evening, get the room ready for the night, leave Leonidas chocolate and water bottles Breakfast is included in the price and there are a lot of choices to pick from. The restaurant offers a Greek night with live music which we attended and had a lot of fun. It also hosts a barbecue night with a fixed menu and price. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you go to Kefalonia"
