Hotel Emelisse
in
Fiskardo
,
Kefalonia
Sculpted into a hillside with dramatic views over to Ithaca, this cutting-edge retreat is a real style icon.
The Emelisse deserves a medal for its location. Carved into a hillside rising from the sea, it’s just a couple of kilometres from the harbourside tavernas of Fiskardo. There’s a pretty pebbly bay just around the corner, too. And because its buildings are stepped into the hillside, it’s immersed in views across the Ionian to Ithaca.
The main building and pool lie on the lowest terrace, so they’ve got the best outlook. The pool itself is split-level, with its upper part merging infinity-style into the sea. Around the water, you’ll find rows of wooden sunloungers, as well as bar terraces where you can sink into cushioned sofas. And in the evenings, the whole scene is given an extra magic by hundreds of glowing candles and lanterns set out on the terraces.
These designer touches are given free rein inside. In the lobby for instance, plump sofas and low bamboo tables take centre-stage. The rooms, meanwhile, are minimalist through and through. Cue teak canopy beds, sleek wood and neutral tones, accessorised with satellite TVs and balconies or terraces. What’s more, a few of the junior suites feature private pools shared by just a handful of guests, plus extra luxuries like CD and DVD players.
In the culinary department, you’ve got the main Votsalo restaurant serving Greek and Mediterranean dishes on the pool terrace. Last, but not least, there’s the Kinema terrace, overlooking an infinity pool. This evening number focuses on Greek grilled cuisine and freshly made pizzas, it is ringed with flickering candles at night. You can even watch outdoor movies here on summer evenings - the perfect complement to the cinematic views.

Your guide to Fiskardo, Kefalonia
“Candy-coloured, shuttered houses, glittering yachts and shimmering waters - bustling Fiskardo has to be the perfect Ionian village.”
At first glance it’d be easy to mistake Fiskardo for an Italian Riviera village. Dusky pink, green-shuttered houses lining a smart waterside, brimming with canopied tavernas and classy shops. Gleaming yachts moored at the harbour. Seafood spaghetti on every blackboard menu.
Yet come closer, and you’ll realise this is pure, concentrated Greece, of the sort they make in the Ionian. Shouts of ‘kalimera’ rebound across the little alleyways. Friendly bakeries display trays of freshly-made baklavi. And as afternoon melts into evening, the sweet scent of spit-roasted lamb fills the air.
Basically, if you’re looking to stay in chocolate-box Greek village, Fiskardo’s pretty hard to beat. Here, on top of everything else, you’ll find all the classical ingredients – a tree-lined bay, old bougainvillea-trailed houses and irresistible tavernas.
Beach-wise, take a short walk around the headland to Fiskardo’s small, olive-fringed beach. This cute little spot’s a curve of shingle, boasting the same clear waters that are a trademark of Kefalonia. In high season, things get busy, as sailing flotillas make Fiskardo their base and day-trippers arrive in town. Yet, it’s still possible to find a quiet corner – comb the coastline and you’ll find a few peaceful coves, like the one at Foki, some only reachable by boat. And when you want to uncover more of Kefalonia, visit the dazzling white beach of Myrtos or the spectacular underground lake of Melissani, thought to be 30,000 years old.
When night falls, it’s easy to let Fiskardo’s swathe of tavernas and bars carry you long into the late hours with their chatter, laughter and live music. Start the night with an ouzo aperitif and go with the flow – it’s what Greece is all about.
