“Fabulous holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

people found this review helpful

My husband and I visited Faros Suites for one week in September. We stayed in room 6 which was beautifully furnished and decorated with a great view over the bay and the harbour. Although we were provided with a continental breakfast daily, the suite came complete with a fully equipped kitchen. Complimentary tea/coffee and cold water was provided until 6.00 p.m daily.

Breakfast on the terrace was made more enjoyable by having chats with Tassos, who is the most charming and welcoming host.

Fiskardo is a charming port full of restaurants and bars and the most delightful coffee shop which served the most exquisite pastries. During our stay we sampled numerous restaurants but our favourites were Lord Falcon (Thai restaurant) and Elli's. Fiskardo has such a wonderful atmosphere especially on an evening as all the yachts return into harbour. We found the meals and drinks to be reasonably priced with a varied selection to suit all tastes.

Faros Suites is a short stroll from Foki Bay which is a small pebble bay where the water is so clear and there is a taverna serving Greek specialities with a most welcoming atmosphere.

It is a five minute walk to the harbour where you can hire a motorboat complete with canopy and cool box to spend your day crusing around the bays or across to Ithaca. We found that the most cleanest and best value was DD's Boat Hire and Internet Cafe.

We also hired a car and visited Assos, which is a quaint fishing port. We also visited both Myrtos Beach and Anti Samos Beach (where Captain Corelli's Mandolin was filmed) and the underground lake - 7 euro per person for five minutes seemed quite steep.

We had the most fantastic holiday in Kefalonia, so relaxing and peaceful we are planning to return next year, although we plan to book directly with the hotel and pick up our own flight, as we booked with Tapestry Holidays but never saw the rep during our whole stay. Tassos provided all the services we could possibly have required.

We will return next year.

“We enjoyed a week here in beautiful...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010

We enjoyed a week here in beautiful Fiscardo. We stayed in suite 5 which is very comfortable and well equipped. It is a very short and easy stroll to the harbour and a small pebble beach - popular for swimming. The service we received from Tassos was excellent: we will miss our chats over breakfast.
From the harbour, it is possible to rent a small boat for exploring the many coves around Kefalonia and Ithica.
We took an organised trip to the Onassis private island and Lefkas, which is beautiful.
Overall, the Faros Suites made an excellent base for a wonderful holiday. Reserve room 6 for the very best views.

“Fiskardos finest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2010

My husband and I traveled with a group of 21 people, including children 6-14. This well appointed apartment/hotel offered a charming and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were fabulously filled with south african art collected by the hosts. The hosts were delightful a family that is has its roots in the local community. It will not be our last visit to this family run business. They will soon be opening another facility in the small town center. It is a work of art that will be opening soon.

“Love their pool area!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed 3 nights at this place as a part of our honeymoon. We had the executive suite. It is a big well equipped suite. There is also two balconies, but none of them works if you just want to chill and enjoy the view (one is too small and the other has a high bannister so you don't see the sea sitting down). The third floor suite is a better choice if you want a balcony to chill at.

The pool area is the highlight of this place. We had the pool to ourselves a couple of times and it felt like a private pool (although this may not be the case in mid July). The deck chairs are really comfortable!

But even though the hotel feels luxurious it is still a bit pricey (as with everything in Fiscardo).

“Best in Fiskardo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2010

Wow, these guys know how to run a hotel. Staying here is to feel like you get to be a part of something special. Our names were memorized the day we arrived, and from then on we were treated with a warm openness of family. The rooms are so well designed, with furniture being imported from South Africa, that you have the feeling that you're staying with a posh relative. It's luxurious yet comfortable, and the whole vibe will have you relaxed the instant you arrive. Beds are comfortable, the rooms are spotlessly clean, breakfast ample, and the location is simply the best -- you're in town, but the quiet side...perfect. An endless supply of coffee and bottled water was just an extra perk to this hotel. Brothers Angelos and Tasos have created the ideal hotel environment. Restaurant recommendations were spot on. Splurge a little, this place is worth it.
