The Pavilion

What is in a name? Having found an idyllic scenic location Gerassimos, intended to build a luxurious hotel that could be called a palace but the Greek law states that a boutique hotel of less than 12 rooms cannot be called a Palace and so the Pavilion was born. A Pavilion is traditionally a place for relaxation and enjoyment and here you can certainly relax in luxurious surroundings and enjoy the wonderful views, peace and serenity. The hotel was completed in 2007 and offers excellent service and traditional hospitality.

The Pavilion is an A class boutique hotel of 9 rooms and 2 suites with a swimming pool in an elevated position in the village of Manganos offering bed and breakfast in a peaeful location near Fiscardo.

Just 5 kms out of Fiscardo, the pretty village of Manganos retains all the charm of pre-earthquake yesteryear Kefalonia.

The hotel is situated ten minutes' walk away from the village which has a local grocery store, two tavernas and a cafe-bar. Manganos is en route to cosmopolitan Fiscardo which is about 15 minutes' drive away.

From Manganos there is a choice of two beaches. Each has its own taverna and is shaded in part by trees. The beaches of Alaties and Ai Yerusalem are ten minutes' drive from the hotel.

15 mins' drive from the hotel on the way into Fiscardo the beach of Emblissi offers another alternative local beach. The beaches in this area have crystal clear water and white pebbly beaches. Alaties and Emblissi also have flat slabs of stone for sunbathing.

The beaches nearest the hotel each have their own local taverna situated nearby but none of the beaches offer sunshades or beach-beds and you are advised to take water and beach-kit with you.
