Emelisse Nature Resort

Excellent facilities. Really relaxing atmosphere. Felt very private with lovely room with sea view.

Some of the food at the restaurant was slightly disappointing. However, breakfast was fantastic.

The location was exceptional and worked across all the generations in our party. the hotel provide a shuttle bus (5 mins) to Fiskardo regularly (or a 10 min walk) there were golf buggies on hand to transport my 84yr old mother to the beach and all over the resort. Unlike many other hotels, they did not take advantage of guests when providing one-off evenings (eg pizza night, greek night) - everything was priced individually and cooked to order vs a huge overpriced buffet. The outdoor screening of movies was lovely. My itchy feet were kept occupied moving from the enormous pool with plenty of beds to the rocks in front of the hotel to swim and snorkel in the beautiful clear water to the beach for a sunset cocktail to Fiskardo for amazing dinners. I can honestly say this is one of the only hotels in the world I've been to that I would definitely return - most of the guests we met had been going for at least 5 years and kept going back. The hotel is totally family run and this shone through. I don't usually write reviews, but the Emmelise deserves one above and beyond. They also upgraded both my mum's room so that she had less stairs and then ours too so we could be close to her for NO extra charge - AMAZING.

I have ONE criticism which is that the boat was not available to book during our stay - this was apparently due to the weather as the route was to the far side of Ithaca where it was more windy - but we would have appreciated some flexibility here to change the route to accommodate the weather which was glorious and like a millpond on the side we were on.

Nice layout on the hill. Great facilities such as a gym, tennis courts, pool table, free yoga sessions.

Mattress was a bit soft. Windows wouldn't lock closed. The room wasn't blackout.

The staff are wonderful and make you feel at home from the second you arrive. It's a family-run resort and that's the feeling you get when you spend even just a few days here. The pool areas and restaurant are beautiful. The proximity to Fiskardo is perfect, allowing you to soak up everything the little fishing village has to offer, but also retreating back to the peace and quiet of the resort. The views of Lefkada from the main pool area are hard to beat!

Some of the fixtures and fittings are a little worn in the rooms, but it's a nature resort, not a glitzy chandelier-and-marble kind of place, so it's nothing that bothers us!

Property was beautiful and felt like a small village with its collection of buildings

Nothing

Everything, staff did everything to make us feel comfortable, breakfast was all home made and exceptional and views were amazing

Beautiful natural surroundings , close to beach.

The location, the wonderful breakfast (including its location) with freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade jam, cakes, bread and buns as well as an assortment of other delicious food. The staff are very attentive and the swimming pools and private beach are divine.

Loved everything.

Highly recommend the boat trip!
