Great location in Fiscardo Harbor

Balhambra Suites is located in a great location near the harbor, Tavernas,stores and shopping, The hotel is older but well maintained, Most rooms are on the second floor with no elevator, There are no screens on the windows or balcony doors. However the cost of the room and location makes up for a few minor negatives.

Excellent holiday

Probably situated in the best position in Fiscardo - peaceful but very close to bars and restaurants. Owner and staff very pleasant and helpful. Would be very happy to stay there again. Only slight negative is no pool but beaches nearby. Owner told us that he now has permission to provide parking spaces for apartments

Wonderful Visit - Loved Fiskardo

Balhambra Suites is a wonderful little hotel. Quiet, calm, laid back and beautifully appointed with attention to detail. The room, hotel and grounds are impeccably clean. We would definitely return.

Balhambra Suites

Really lovely apartment/hotel. Very clean and well maintained. Kitchenette with everything you need to prepare a meal or breakfast.Comfortable bed and plenty of storage space for clothing. Really helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again. Only one small thing, the website says that toiletries and slippers are provided. There were no slippers and only a tiny bar of soap and a small bottle of shower gel. No shampoo, conditioner or shower cap. All of which I left out due to airline weight restrictions. However, there are plenty of places nearby to buy these when you arrive.

Fabulous property in Fiskardo

Fabulous property in the heart of Fiskardo. Positives: (1) location (close to all amenities, dining and shopping); (2) service (owner attentive across the board (even assisted with luggage to Ferry) and hassle free check in and check out); (3) vibe (laid back and relaxed, much like Fiskardo and the whole of Kefalonia; (4) comfort and cleanliness. All in all, a fabulous boutique hotel experience. Highly recommend.

The most civilized accommodation in Greece!

Stayed there before and will stay there again. Location is perfect, 100m to the harbour and tavernas but set in a quiet courtyard.

excellent location.

The port is a few steps away with plenty of shops,bars and restaurants. The restaurants were great and all our meals were excellent. Out room was clean and tidy with great partial views of the port. The grounds in the centre were very interesting with the huge olive tree root and a wonderful Koi carp pond. Included in it is a giant frog! There are also plenty of artefacts dotted around to add interest. Lovely location! Plenty of choice of food for breakfast assisted by the lovely Lilly!
Antonio the owner was very welcoming and always on hand to answer any queries and suggest trips or restaurants.
Fiskardo is a lovely place. You can go to one of the beaches or just sit in a bar or cafe on the front and people watch or admire the variety of sailing ships or super yachts moored there and out in the port.
If you have a hire car a trip to the large beach at Antisamos is worth a visit with free parking and free sun beds . There are also plenty of bars and restaurants there.
We would thoroughly recommend this location. We had a very relaxing holiday.

En route to Lefkas.

Overnight stay before catching Lefkas ferry (out and return) . Quite seclusion just what was needed after a day's travelling but with easy access to all of Fiskardo's waterside eating. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Will return next year

perfectly placed within Fiskardo

I booked fairly last minute but was rewarded with a wonderful room that had a small balcony with a partial view of the harbour. (room 103). air-conditioning and very clean. staff very laid back and nothing too much trouble. hint: park in the main car park set back from the harbour and wander down on foot to get bearings otherwise you may drive in circles. lovely quiet private apartments.

Great stay in the picturesque north.

It was great. The location is a little far north so get ready for the drive there but once you're there it's incredibly beautiful. I recommend you hire a car to get around but you must be a confident driver.

Excellent choice if staying in Fiskardo.

Our first visit to Kefalonia, and we could not have chosen a better base from which to explore the northern part of the island. Fiskardo itself is a true gem, a wonderful little community, serving both the sailing and non-sailing fraternity with equal respect and pleasure. Balhambra Suites was, in our humble opinion, the best location, offering top-quality facilities at very reasonable rates, with a wonderful 'private' atmosphere, yet still offering a family-friendly relaxed vibe. Everyone we encountered, from the owners to the individual staff members, seemed concerned only with our comfort and well-being. Would happily recommend to friends and strangers alike!

Excellent holiday

We received a warm welcome at the Balhambra suites in Fiscardo even though it was 10.30pm when we arrived. They are wonderfully positioned close to the harbour, tavernas and a really good music bar. In spite of being so close to all the action, it was very peaceful in the courtyard.

Fantastic hotel, brilliant staff

We only stayed in this hotel for a few days and we were sorry we did not stay longer.

The hotel itself is in the perfect location, in the center of Fiscardo harbor just set back from the shops and restaurants in its own small private complex. The complex itself is very well maintained and quiet (adults only). The rooms are large and very well decorated (in keeping with the style of the hotel and surrounding area) and are equipped with free wifi, tv, satalite and all kitchen utensils.

In addition to the above, the staff are extremely helpful and friendly, in particular Angelos made us feel at home and was available throughout our stay to answer any questions we had on the area, suggesting a number of fantastic places to visit that we would not of otherwise discovered.

We would highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely return in the near future.

Hotel is fantastic,private yet close to everything

A great concept, suites surrounding a charming plaza. It is private yet right next to the action if you want it. The waterfront of Fiscardo is just beautiful, an authentic waterfront fishing town. The owners have thought of every detail in the hotel and in the suites. A little supermarket has all you need, the charming suites have every comfort. The staff are kind and helpful and lovely people. An absolute must in Fiscardo.

Exceptional accommodation central to Fisgardo

My sister and I stayed at The Balhambra Suites for seven days and found the Hotel to be exceptional. Situated in a private square in the centre of Fiskardo with a beautiful courtyard, the central feature being a pond with fish and a giant sculpture of a frog. Our suite overlooked the courtyard which was a peaceful haven. Being centrally placed in Fiskardo we were within minutes of the harbour,shops,bars and restaurants, the local beach was only 15 minutes walk away. The staff at the hotel are all lovely and always willing to help, making you feel very welcome.

Perfect location

The location of the Balhambra Suites was perfect, right in the centre of the village - you just walked out into the buzz of the restaurants, bars and shops, but totally tranquil in our little square. The rooms were comfortable and breakfast was good. We were well looked after by Ludmilla, who also entertained with her anti cat antics! The whole area was beautifully kept, with the outside floors constantly swept and washed. A great holiday!

Hidden gem in the centre of Fiscardo.

Balharamba suites are sheer quality in the centre of Fiscardo but tucked away from the main strip of seafront restaurants. Our apartment was spacious, well equipped and beautifully clean. We didn't miss a pool as the sea is perfect for swimming and beaches are within walking distance. The owner Angelo is very helpful and knowledgable and the lady who serves breakfast and cleans the rooms is adorable.

Only two negative things:
1) We arrived at 2.30pm on a Saturday to find reception closed. There was no notice but we were informed by the next door spa that it would open around 5pm. Luckily we had a hire car to store our luggage and went to the local beach but it would have been nice to unpack after travelling from the UK. Angelo was away and had left his brother in charge who did later check us in.
2) On our last evening we went to tell reception we would be leaving early the next moring and would leave the key in the room and to thank them for a lovely stay. Angleo's brother was in charge again and said he had no record of us paying (we paid through Expedia). He phoned Angleo but would not let me speak to him and I tried unsuccesfully to access Expedia and our credit card online. This was not how we wanted to spend nearly an hour of our last evening and were made to feel quite uncomfortable when it turns out the problem was actually between Expedia and the hotel.

Very close to all that Fiscardo has to offer....

Great stay in a prime location. Would have liked to have been advised prior to our journey that the main road to Fiscardo was closed on account of the 2 earth quakes this year. Also to best beach on the island Myrtos was closed. Apart from this we had a good holiday in one of the best apartments/suites we have stayed in.

Hochwertige Appartements direkt im Zentrum

Sehr schöne Appartments im Zentrum von Fiskardo. Sauber, grosszügig und mit hochwertigem Interieur. Supermarkt, Restaurants, Bäckerei und Taxistand in unmittelbarer Nähe. In 5 Minuten ist ein kleiner Strand erreichbar. Perfekt für einen kurzen oder allenfalls auch längeren Aufenthalt am bzw. im Meer.

Magical stay in Fiskardo

We really enjoyed our stay at Balhambra Suites. The room is beautifully decorated and very clean. The position is ideal in the middleof Fiskardo but also very quiet, we did not get woken up once!
There is a supermarket in front of the yard, bakery and pharmacy nearby and all restaurants are on your doorstep. Parking was easy to find and free. Would stay there again.

Destaque positivo para o Angelo, que foi extremamente solicito e cordial.
Quarto amplo e bonito, que possui frigobar e até mesmo uma pequena cozinha.

Só o wi-fi que é bem lento, mas acreditamos que é assim em toda ilha dê Kefalonia.

High value for money

Me and my wife stayed at Balhambra Suites for 1 week and we really liked this hotel. It was a really nice, clean and a room that was well equipped. The owner Angelo, with staff, were really service minded and always really friendly. They carried our bags, from the parking, helped out when we wanted info about Fiskardo and came up with breakfast, to our room, when we were leaving the hotel very early the last morning. The breakfast was really good and fresh! We really recommend this hotel to stay when you visit Fiskardo. It is in the heart of the harbor and close to everything.

Nice view. Comfortable bed and big relaxing room. We enjoyed the company of the woman that makes the breakfast (full of joy, positive person with generous smile and makes wonderful cakes). The only disadvantages is the high price and the cleaning
of the room (small details that we noticed).

Un excellent séjour au cœur de Fiscardo

Très beau bâtiment avec des qualités de finition assez rares en Grèce. Chambre très spacieuse et confortable. Très bonne literie. Hôtel très calme pour des nuits et des siestes reposantes.
Service irréprochable et Lily qui s'occupe des petits déjeuners est très sympathique.
Notre chambre, comme indiqué, n'avait pas de vue sur le port mais sur une petite place très agréable. Situé au cœur de Fiskardo, parfait !
Nous avons eu des échanges intéressants avec le propriétaire des lieux qui parle parfaitement anglais.

Fiskardo gioiellino di Cefalonia

Ottima esperienza al Balhambra suites, l'appartamento grande e arredato con gusto.
Pulizia ottima.
Colazione buona, servita dalla gentilissima e canterina \"Maria Callas\"!! L'unica pecca le vespe sul terrazzo, ma sono una presenza costante su tutta l'isola.
Fiskardo e' la località più bella dell'isola, dal Balhambra si può accedere comodamente sia ai ristoranti sia ai negozi a piedi.
A pochi passi è raggiungibile anche la spiaggietta di Fiskardo.

Prisvärd pärla i Fiskardo

Fiskardo är underbart. Balhambra är fantastiskt. Vi fick ett mycket vänligt bemötande av den mycket trevlige ägaren. Rummet var mycket vackert inrett. Klart prisvärt. Lugnt område. Vacker, mycket påkostad gård. Balkong med vacker utsikt över del av hamnen. Centralt beläget. Rekommenderas!!

Fantastisk service

Jag och min man är jättenöjda med vår vistelse, hotellet har det bästa läge man kan tänka sig och personalen är hjälpsam och trevlig. Vi behövde bara uttala ett önskemål så gjorde Angelo i receptionen allt för att hjälpa oss både praktiskt och med tips. Vi kände oss verkligen välkomna från första stunden och vi skulle inte tveka att rekommendera hotellet till våra vänner.
