Absolutely loved our stay at the panorama Fanari suites the staff are superb and NOTHING is too much trouble the place is immaculate and the breakfast is lovely
Detemriou handles all the car hire from Ionian cars and he is family along with the 2 ladies that run the place
If you are travelling to Kefalonia you must consider staying here . We are fortunate enough to have travelled extensively and this rates as one of the best

Overall a very nice, convenient and clean property with ample space in the family suite! Nice family owned and run facility with all the comforts. Just a bit short on towels for beach, cleaning of the apartment for us were not up to par and food services.

The apartments seem recently refurbished, are in a great position with beautiful views of the sea. The kitchen area is small but well equipped. Daily maid service was a welcome bonus compared to other places we stayed. Absolutely spotless. Comfortable beds. Friendly owners who were very helpful.

Fantastic set of apartments run extremely well by a incredibly helpfull host. Great sea views from every room. Lovely pool and sun bathing area. Good bar area. Reasonable priced beakfast. Mile walk into Argostolli is manageable. Return is uphill is ok but you can get a taxi back for €7 if you want.
Would have given the place a great review anyway but the help we received from the host when our return flight was cancelled at the last minute was very kind and helpful. Despite already having checked out we were given another room so we could focus on sorting out travel arrangements. Brilliant service.

Fantastic view, the room was lovely and the breakfast was delicious every morning, you can help yourself to drinks and snacks at the bar at any time, they have a really great car rental service at a affordable price. The owner Dionissi was really welcoming, friendly and the weekly BBQ is not one to miss ,it builds up a really nice community feel throughout the hotel, and the food is brilliant. Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back again.

Great view, relaxing vacation
The hotel is located close to Argostoli, which is the capital city of the island. The location is especially convenient because it is only 10-15 minutes drive from the airport and close to Lassi and also to one of the most popular beaches (Makris Gialos).
I booked a room with a view to the sea and the view was just amazing (especially when waking up in the mornings).
The swimming pool is a great place to relax during the warm days.
The owners are very welcoming and helped a lot with providing information needed for travelling around the island..

Short stay in April
Spent 1 Week at Panorama Fanari during April. The room was great with everything you could need for a short stay. Bathroom was slightly small but good enough. Views were fantastic. Rooms were cleaned by staff every day. Apartments are about 20 mins drive from the Airport & a 20 minute walk into Argostoli. Good sized swimming pool although icy cold (not sure if it heats up during the summer months).
There is no office at the apartments so when I arrived wasn't sure what to do. Luckily I had called ahead so the owners knew when I was arriving and had about a 10 minute wait before they arrived to check me in. There is also a nice bar/snack bar next to the pool but as it was only April this wasn't fully functioning (only drinks available). Argostoli has a lot of nice restaurants so this wasn't too much of a problem. Overall, Yes I would recommend it.

Pleasant enough but could do so much more
This apartment has an amazing view. The hosts are generous and courteous when you meet them. There are two apartment blocks, so if you are in a group say you wish to stay together otherwise you could be apart. One block is beautiful the other not so, quite dark and dreary. We believed there to be a swim up bar and a deli and somewhere to eat - this was not the case - the swim up bar was a "get out and walk" bar. there was no deli which was a shame as it could be a long day as the apartment is a long way from town - a taxi ride (7 euros each way).

Nice views but rooms are very basic
The room was clean with a balcony overlooking the sea which was lovely. The bathroom was very small with a shower that didn't work very well. The breakfast wasn't great, only bread and cereal, nothing cooked which was very disappointing considering the cost. The apartments are very basic and on top of a steep hill so you'll need a car if you stay here.

Room description given on booking confirmation was completely different . Much smaller, poor decor, not the promised quality mattresses,. Location difficult to find as no map or directions given. In fairness the manager came to guide us there after we phoned him.. It was only suitable for one night and we would not recommend it for any longer. The only advantage for us is that it is near the airport and quiet. There is no reception area and apart from a pool, no amenities.

Fantastic owner and staff in family run business.
I had rung before I left to ask about rides from the airport as I would be arriving late. I was pleasantly surprised and most pleased to have been met by Dionississi,the owner of the apartments. He and his staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The apartments are clean and have lovely views. They feel safe and it was lovely to have a swimming pool and to be near Argostoli. The price was very reasonable and very good value. Only one thing do not expect cotton sheets but you would expect to pay a lot more for that privilege! I heartily recommend this family run business.

Winter sun in March
Excellent accomodation in peaceful location with views to die for.
Dionysos the owner was extremely helpful , changed bedding and towels everyday.
Just about able to walk into town at night if you are fit , around 20 mins.
The north is more picturesque than the south , Myrtos Bay, Assos and Fiskado all worth visiting.
