Emelisse Nature Resort

Emelisse Nature Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our time at Emelisse in Kefalonia was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views. The pools are absolutely lovely and offer the perfect vantage point to take in the incredible sunsets each evening as you overlook Lefkada in the distance. Dining at the resort was a fantastic experience. The restaurant overlooks the pools and serves delicious food, made even better by the incredibly welcoming and attentive staff. Starting the day with their delicious breakfast buffet while looking out over the water was a daily treat. The absolute highlight of our trip was booking the resort's private boat and captain for a full-day charter—I cannot recommend this enough! If you prefer to stay close to the resort, you have direct access to a gorgeous rock beach, complete with a ladder off the rocks where you can swim straight to a nearby cave. Getting into Fiskardo is a breeze. The hotel offers a convenient free shuttle, or you can take a 12-minute walk along a path that leads right into town. While the property is beautiful for anyone, in my opinion, the serene vibe and amenities make it most suited for adults. I highly recommend Emelisse and would return in a heartbeat!"

Thalassa Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

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"
