Bottom Line
This 10-room, mid-range hotel is a family-run establishment with a surprisingly modern aesthetic in a quiet location. Guests are a 20-minute walk from two different beaches, Foki and Emblisi, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. Comfortable rooms have air-conditioning, minibars, and flat-screen TVs, plus all have private furnished balconies, some with sea or harbor views. All rates include a substantial, good quality breakfast buffet, but no other meals are served. There are an outdoor pool with pleasant views and an indoor bar, but no gym or kid-centric facilities. Travelers, particularly families, may prefer the Astra Village Hotel & Suites, which has a full restaurant and wellness facilities.

Modern, intimate hotel with thoughtful owners
Small but impressive -- that's Fiscardo Bay Hotel in a nutshell. The 10-room property has a bright-orange exterior and clean architectural design, plus flowers and lush greenery. Inside, the earth-tone decor is at once modern and cozy. The reception has off-white stone floors that are topped with black-leather couches, a tree-stump-turned-table, and large ceramic pots with plants. The beige and bright-orange walls keep the room feeling bright, and understated wall decor adds a homey vibe. This isn't surprising, as the hotel is run by a family and guests rave about the thoughtful, present owners. The hotel's quiet location and polished style draw mostly couples.
Location
Quiet location in Fiscardo, a 20-minute walk to two beaches
The hotel's peaceful, scenic location is a big draw for those looking to have a relaxing getaway. Fiscardo Bay Hotel is quite far from Cephalonia Airport -- the ride is over an hour -- but reception can help facilitate airport transfers for guests. Views of nearby Fiscardo Bay can actually be seen from some balconies. From the hotel, guests can reach both Foki Beach (20-minute walk) and Emblisi Beach (23-minute walk) on foot, while other notable beaches, such as Dafnoudi (11-minute drive) and Jerusalem (19-minute drive) are best reached by car. There are plenty of restaurant and bar options within walking distance of the hotel, too.
Rooms
Small, but attractive and modern rooms
The hotel offers nine small but nicely appointed guest rooms and one suite. The design consists of beige stone tile, walls painted purple, pale-blue, or orange, wood furniture, and shadow boxes with sand and seashells. Given that most rooms are quite small, it's good that furniture is kept to just bedside tables, a wooden bench, well-sized armoire, and side chair. French doors open to furnished balconies or terraces -- some with sea or harbor views -- and allow natural light to fill the room. All guest rooms have modern amenities including flat-screen TVs, individually controlled air-conditioning, safes, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and well-stocked minibars. Neutral-tone bathrooms are unsurprisingly on the small side, too. They're outfitted with walk-in showers, hairdryers, and free bath products.
Features
Minimal features include a small pool, well-reviewed breakfast, and bar
Fiscardo Bay Hotel is lacking a bit in on-site features, especially those for children. The small hotel pool has lovely vistas, and plenty of loungers and umbrellas on the adjacent deck. Pool and beach towels are provided to guests free of charge. There's no full restaurant, but a substantial and well-reviewed breakfast buffet is included in all rates. The dining room also has a bar for cocktails, plus an outdoor terrace by the pool. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
