Guest Reviews

• Doina (10/5): Exceptional experience - EXCEPTIONAL experience ! great infrastructure, location, very clean, we had the absolute best view in Fiskardo from our balcony, but most of all, what made our stay so so special at Faros Residence, were the people. Huge sincere thank you to Alexis and his wife, you guys warmed our hearts. Wishing you all the very best in everything and really hope to see you soon again. There was nothing we didn’t like.
• Philip (10/5): -
• Greg (10/5): Panoramic views - Beautifully appointed loft apartment. Great views.
• Branka (9/5): -
• Charlotte (10/5): - We had high hopes on the basis of previous reviews but it was even better than we expected. The terrace is fabulous with the most wonderful views across to Itheca. Having to leave it!
• Susan (10/5): Stunning property within a short walk to the harbour - Absolutely amazing accommodation with spectacular views No dishwasher
• Gary (10/5): -
• Claire (10/5): - We had the most amazing two-week stay at Faros Residence in Fiskardo and have already booked to return next year – that’s how much we loved it! The apartment was beautiful, but what truly blew us away was the incredible terrace and breathtaking views. We spent hours just relaxing and watching the boats come and go – it was so peaceful and calming. The swimming pool, though small, was perfect for cooling off, and I often had it all to myself. It felt like a private oasis! One of the biggest highlights was the daily servicing of the apartment – fresh bedding and towels throughout our stay made it feel like a luxury hotel, while still having the comfort and privacy of a self-contained space. A special thank you to Violtza, who came daily to clean. She was so kind, friendly, and clearly took pride in her work – it was such a treat having her around. All the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, from assisting with our luggage and shopping on arrival to helping us with next year’s booking dates. They truly went above and beyond to make our holiday special. The location is perfect – just a 5-minute walk to Fiskardo port, where you’ll find a fantastic selection of restaurants. We didn’t have a single bad meal – every place had wonderful food and lovely staff. There’s free parking at the apartments, and I’d definitely recommend hiring a car to explore the island at your own pace. Faros Residence is a gem – peaceful, luxurious, and perfectly located. Thoroughly recommend
• Anonymous (5/5): Overall not pleased - Once we found the facility and the reception desk the girl at the desk gave us the key didn't realize I was getting a full apartment on the top floor. Furniture very old. Apartment smelled, musty. Had to buy a room spray that still didn't help. Our linens were changed once in the 5 days we stayed there. For the amount of money we paid they should have been changed and with quality towels. Did not like the cats laying all over the side walks and by the entry door. No indication when I booked that our apartment was on the top floor, walk up. Being in our 70's that was bit difficult. Asked if we could be moved and was told no but never saw other cars parked outside or people there.
• Maxine (9/5): Superb - Location was great, pool lovely, staff very friendly and helpful!
• Luizabnn (10/5): Luxury by the Sea! - Elegant, with stunning sea view and huge terrace – a truly memorable experience! -
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptional - Property was spacious with an incredible view
• Patricia (9/5): Our 4th visit to Fiskardo but this was the best accommodation we have had. We will return. - Location excellent altho there are a lot of steps to enter it. Very spacious apartment with huge fully furnished balcony , sofa and chairs, dining table and chairs and 2 sun loungers. Towels provided for pool and beach. Housekeeping everyday . She was friendly and efficient. A/C fine. View to sea superb. Loved watching the yachts come and go. Short walk to harbour for restaurants and shops. 3 lovely quiet beaches within 10 min drive. Pool area clean and attractive. The number of steps outside and stairs to apartment might be a problem for some people. Worth it for the view.
• David (9/5): Magnificent, the location is out of this world and I would expect to be back asap. - The location was everything we expected and more All good except for one small rug in the living room which was a bit shabby
• Michael (9/5): Lovely, and Katerina (receptionist) couldn’t do enough. I can fault the place, And they kindly moved us to a place in th - The space. It was a huge apartment. If you want space, this is the place to come. The walk down to the town. It was fab, don’t get me wrong, but if you have any pain or trouble walking, it’s probably not the place to go.
• Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jessica (7/5): Good - Great location and the pool was lovely. The cleaner was epic and left the apartment spotless everyday. The local beaches, especially the smalll ones were beautiful and there was great snorkeling The decor is very tired and out of date leaving you to feel that you are paying too much for apartment. If this was upgraded it would be worth every penny.
• David (9/5): Wonderful stay in a wonderful place - Great place in a really good location close to the town, with wonderful views. Lovely swimming pool. all was great
• Darren (8/5): Great location and balcony, property could do with an update. - Location is great, this is one of the reasons for us returning. Great pool, although cold this year. Balcony is amazing if in rooms 8 and 9 as they are massive. Cleanliness is great and done daily. No hosts to welcome, have to go and find them at Faros Suites, which offer breakfast but no breakfast at Residence which is more expensive. Apartments are getting a bit tired and could go with updating, also remove some of the pictures and furniture as too much, open up the 2nd bedroom which is a waste of space this way guests can use both.
• Craig (9/5): Enjoyable stay in Kefalonia in this historic building - Lovely old building. Apartment was very spacious and well equipped. Huge patio and covered seating area with amazing views over the harbour. Just a few minutes walk into the bustling town with numerous restaurants and shops. A short drive to several beautiful beaches and coves. Appliances, kitchen and general condition of shutters and windows were a bit tired, but did not impact enjoyment of the property.
• Nathan (9/5): Money well spent on accomodation - Clean spacious and well kept Beautiful pool Nothing
• Nikolas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vanessa (8/5): Very good - the cleaner does an extraordinary job as the apartment was incredibly clean and she was very friendly! The apartment features everything you need. The balcony is huge and has a beautiful view over Fiscardo and the sea, the area is very private, we had the pool always to ourselves, there were lovely beaches close by in walking distance, super close to fiscardo town where you can find very good restaurants, bars, markets, shops, also you can find plenty of cruise or boat tour offers so you will never get bored Reception service needs to improve - Bad communication, the taxi that was offered to pick us up never arrived and we had to arrive by our own means, no 24h reception which led to confusion as to where our room is and we were searching for our room late at night, the lights of the hotel do not work so it was exhausting to search for the room with heavy luggage as we didn't know from which side to walk up, also reception did not check on us if we ever made it but eventually we did with the help of another guest by coincidence through a paper hanging on the door, not very professional
• Sarah (6/5): Hugely disappointed. - It was less than ten minutes walk to the harbour. Nice spacious lounge area. Large terrace with lovely view. We stayed at their sister property (Balhambra) last year, and loved it. This was very different. On arrival it felt like a sketch show…signs saying reception eventually led us down a slope around the building, down some steps and along to the reception. Not a welcoming start. The aircon unit drained into a small container on the terrace. Unless you empty it yourself, it overfills quickly making the patio area really slippy (we both slipped a couple of times). The kitchen has lots of mis-matched items. The bathroom towels need replacing, one actually had a hole in it! Tired looking bathrobes and cheap slippers. Rug in lounge area had huge hole at both ends, another tripping hazard…it really doesn’t feel luxury. Needs a ‘do not disturb’ sign for door. Housekeeping knocked and then tried to let herself in. When hubby said we didn’t need anything, she stretched her head in round the door…felt quite intrusive. Adults only…hmmm…we heard/saw a child in the apartment below, every day. Despite messaging to say it was a very special birthday, there wasn’t any welcome note - just felt like they didn’t really care. Hugely disappointed.
• Martyn (8/5): Very good -
• Kenneth (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mirjam (9/5): Great accommodation in Fiscardo - - Nice, comfortable apartment with beautiful little terrace - Great location - Good facilities and lovely pool - Strange smell in the apartment; we informed reception and it was slightly better afterwards
• Neil (8/5): Very good - Fabulous apartment living space and very comfortable with stunning huge balcony overlooking the bay. Excellent cleaner and bedding/towels regime. Lovely pool. Great location in beautiful town Tatty and frayed (tripping hazard) mat in living area of apartment, detracted from beautiful furnishings. Almost zero contact with Faros management after initial check-in - would have thought that occasional friendly chat during our 10 night stay would have happened
• Sarah (10/5): Most wonderful stay at an elegantly furnished apartment. Great outdoor space with amazing views - The accommodation was amazing and so spacious. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. However, the absolute pièce de résistance was the balcony, such a big space with comfortable sunbeds, and WOW what a view. Would love to return. Nothing.
• Steffan (9/5): Very enjoyable and relaxing stay - Great location, short walk into town, superb view over sea and islands, very spacious and comfortable, with separate bedroom, sitting room and well equipped kitchen, with washing-up liquid supplied. Excellent wi-fi, very nice swimming pool with towels supplied, very clean rooms, regular change of towels. Useful washing machine was handy for rinsing and drying clothes. A teapot would have been nice, and also a dish-mop - there was only a small sponge. The kitchen area was a little dark for cooking and washing-up, but this was not a big problem.
• Sarah (10/5): Relaxed and so luxurious - The apartment was beautiful, spacious and with amazing views. Such a quiet location but so near to the sea and harbour. Beautifully decorated and a gorgeous pool. Would recommend to any couple wanting a romantic relaxing holiday. Steep steps back up to the room, but you wouldn’t get the view without the hillside position.
• Colin (10/5): Wow - Fantastic, spacious accommodation with great views. All the facilities you could ever need and a great pool. Located close to the harbour but far enough away to be very relaxing. Nothing it was perfect.
• Kim (10/5): One week of fabulous relaxation - We stayed in room 8, the apartment was extremely comfortable & clean. The bed linen & towels changed three times in our one week stay. The terrace was an absolutely fabulous space & the apartment only a few minutes walk from the centre.
• Spiro_lisa (7/5): Good - Location Too many steps
• George (8/5): Very good -
• Tina (9/5): Superb -
• Iain (10/5): An absolutely stunning apartment and large apartment overlooking Fiskardo bay. Very special accommodation. - A stunning complex of apartments in the heart of Fiskardo. Each apartment is very large with private balcony, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Everything needed is provided for self catered living. A beautiful pool sits right next to the apartments. A perfect and very special place to stay in Fiskardo with views over the bay. Everything was perfect.
• Yildiz (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marion (9/5): Superb -
• Kendall (10/5): Perfect stay, perfect hosts - The view was iconic Everything was perfect Nothing
• Darren (8/5): Great relaxing break - Amazing property, terrace and great swimming pool. No BBQ
• Anna (9/5): Lovely, relaxing stay in this pretty town with great accommodation and lovely people. - Beautiful, convenient location, nicely and thoughtfully furnished apartment with parking. Lovely, peaceful spot with great views across the harbour with boats coming and going. Extremely helpful, friendly owners and staff. Frequently cleaned and linen changed by lovely cleaner. Just a few small details. The kitchen equipment could be a little better. ie the coffee maker leaked water, no matching wine glasses, cutlery serviceable but could be better quality, kitchen short of electric sockets - twp available, but one behind the cooker. (Difficult to fix, I know). Bath towels rather on the small side, could be a bit more luxurious. Nothing serious!
• Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
• Antonia (9/5): Peaceful stay with beautiful views - The room and balcony were great and cleaned daily. The location is fantastic to get into fiscardo. When we arrived late our keys were in the door of our apartment which was easy to find. The pool area was small but clean and nice. The view from the balcony was amazing! I wish we had more time to utilise the balcony. I wouldn’t necessarily say this in a negative light but we couldn’t find reception and the only staff member we came across was the cleaner so we never properly checked in. it was nice and peaceful in the hotel but slightly worrying with no one being about if someone went wrong.
• David (9/5): Superb - Very quiet, excellent location less than 10 minutes walk to the centre. Great apartment, fantastic view, all equipment including washing machine etc. The swimming pool was lovely, plenty of sun loungers and shades, very nice to be able to relax there at the end of a day and also after checking out on the final day. The property booked a taxi to meet us at the airport (quite late and the flight arrived late on top of that), told us the number of the apartment and left the key where we could find it easily. The taxi driver that they used knew exactly where the apartment was, no need to hunt around in the dark late at night. That was excellent, and it made our late arrival very easy. All the staff at the property were very kind and helpful.
• Chloe (10/5): Loved it! Would 100% recommend and would stay again. - Absolutely loved our stay here! Large spacious apartment with the most stunning views. Great hosts, easy to check in, cleaning service everyday, comfortable bed and THE VIEW! A great location to explore Fiskardo. Would recommend using the kayak company connected with the apartments to explore the bays. Host was really helpful with recommendations. Liked everything!
• Claire (10/5): Room with amazing view! - Wonderful view from no.10 Loft apartment. Room was cleaned, bed made etc daily. The pool area was lovely, great view, very clean, plenty of towels and sun beds provided. Nice shady spots to sit in the grounds of the property too. Short walk into centre of Fiskardo. Quiet but very convenient. Nothing …..but maybe some olive oil for cooking and washing powder for washing machine would be useful for guests (to save buying large bottles etc).
• Stephanie (9/5): Superb -
• Charles (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stuart (9/5): excellent - very clean,very convenient, quirky,quiet nothing, maybe just air con in bedroom
• Meg (10/5): Exceptional - The room Exceeded my Expectations it was lovely Property, staff and room
• Sam (8/5): Really great visit to a spacious and private property in a perfect location. - Perfect location, lovely property. Slight smell on day 1, but not every day.
• Chris (10/5): - This was a spectacular property in an idyllic location. The views from the balcony of the bay and harbor were fantastic. Everything had been catered for. The Reception staff (Katherina ) and management and owners were lovely and very helpful. We could ask for no more. All in all it was a perfect holiday in a perfect location with perfect facilities. One of our best holidays !
• TheHarris’s (10/5): Fabulous views. Bring binoculars instead of a book - We stayed in number 9 for a couple of weeks and never wanted to leave. This 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment has everything we needed for a home away from home but with the addition of the most spectacular views of the sun rising over Ithaca and boats entering and leaving the harbour. The light that dusk threw on the lighthouses and shore was beautiful too. It was not possible to tire of the views. The apartment was very comfortable - the bed particularly so - and was very well-equipped. We used the washing machine part way through our stay. The family who own and run Faros Residence are lovely and most helpful. The property is on quite a steep site and there are approx 50 steps from the Residence down to the road into town, but there is also a longer route that can be taken without steps if needs be. Thee is also the option of a taxi for 4Euros if you’re not able to make the walk back up from the harbour centre. We loved our stay entirely and highly recommend the Faros Residence for a touch of something very special.
• Beverly (10/5): Amazing apartment - Apartment was really spacious and the outside area huge with the most glorious views. The owners were really helpful and would do all they could to make the stay comfortable. Absolutely nothing to complain about and we will be returning.
• angela (10/5): Biggest balcony in fiscardo - Beautiful place, quiet, calming, if you have not been to fiscardo before like us, then book here, lovely South African influence apartment with spectacular views
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect location near beach and town. - It was the perfect spot for mum and I, it actually exceeded my expectations. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. The apartments were decorated beautifully, it felt like like our own home. The sea view was just out of this world, I didn't want to leave because of it. Cleaner came every day and did s fantastic job. Close proximity to the beaches, restaurants and shops which really made it that perfect holiday destination for us! I would definitely come back no doubt.
