Karlovassi holiday lettings

We loved it here! It was a lovely village house in a genuine, non-tourist village with all the noises, smells and cacophony that you get in everyday life - including the neighbour giving us fresh eggs from her hens. The house, Kipo, is just gorgeous for a holiday with a wonderful garden and plenty of outdoor spaces to eat, or just sit and relax, or read and have coffee. The beds are comfortable; the ensuite is adequate for two people and the main bathroom is spacious; the kitchen is well-equipped with some thoughtful snacks, plus tea and coffee to get you started; and the WiFi is excellent. It may be slightly impractical in colder months if you wanted to eat inside as the kitchen is downstairs (with two adjoining bedrooms) and the inside dining area upstairs. We didn't use this at all for meals while we were there, as it was mid-to-late September and we had our meals outdoors. Geraldine was great to deal with via email, and George her caretaker/manager was really helpful and friendly and ready to assist with anything if required. Our one tip: make sure you have a car or scooter. Hora is just a bit out of the way to be relying on public transport or walking everywhere. And, if it's a car, make sure it's a small one because the drive to the parking space for the house predates cars as the normal mode of transport!

The So Nice hotel is one of the better places I have stayed in Greece. Spotlessly clean, good location close to the beach and restaurants but far enough away that there is no road noise or noise from other guests passing. Good free wifi in the hotel, lovely breakfast with choices of bread rolls, toast, homemade jam and marmalade, ham, cheese etc We were impressed with welcome from Angela which was informative of places to eat, visit etc. my wife and I can recommend the So Nice hotel.

We chose Samos to celebrate my wife’s big birthday as it was the birthplace of her grandmother. The villa was perfect in meeting our needs as a family that included three grandchildren. Appolon greeted us on arrival and was so helpful in giving tips and assistance all through our 10 day stay. The villa itself is in a beautiful quiet spot on the edge of Balos beach. Strongly recommend booking dinner at Stella restaurant just next door, probably the best in the whole island The villa itself is well equipped, clean and in very comfortable. Has a lovely garden and patio with two seating areas In preparation for arrival, Appolon communicated regularly and gave us very accurate details of what to expect I would recommend this villa for a family or a group of friends very strongly. We are definitely going back Amr Zeineldine

Brilliant home in a fabulous location. Well equipped and spacious. Great communication right through the process. We had a truly wonderful time in Kokkari again.
