Emelisse Hotel

Legendary Greek hospitality is matched by superior standards of comfort in this luxury hotel in Kefalonia. Secluded in cosseting calm, this is a swimmers’ paradise and a romantic retreat. Peace, privacy and serene tranquillity are emphasised at Emelisse, and protected by thoughtful attention to detail. The car park is outside the hotel grounds, with quieter buggies provided to bring guests into the enclave, and boats are not permitted to anchor in the bay, so swimmers share the water only with the fish.In its setting atop white rocks on the Eblisi peninsula, the hotel is backed by acres of cypress and cedar trees, gazes out over miles of blue sea to the cliffs of Ithaca and Lefkada, and is almost a village in itself. The main pool, poised on the cliff-top, is one of seven (including one for children), a variety of restaurants and bars match mood to menu with Mediterranean dishes, and sports facilities are complemented by a pampering spa. This chic hotel has a broad range of rooms and suites offering several levels of luxury and space, and is just a ten minute walk from Fiskardo’s quayside tavernas.
