The staff at Aphea Village were excellent. Nothing was to much for them to do for us. From reception to bar staff - they were amazing. I would definitely recommend as the view from the pool and the rooms were breath taking. The food from Bizous bar and variety of drinks available were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay with you. Thanks 😃

The appartment was quite OK, but the bathroom really needs renovation. The shower space very small and the curtain doesn't help - the water always goes on the floor. However, we had a nice balcony with a nice view to the sea and the swimming pool.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
While the staff were very friendly the hotel was very limited insofar as amenities. The room was not well prepared with bathroom plumbing requiring emergency repair to render it safe. Even with that repair it was a very ‘rustic’ room with little comfort. The most difficult aspect of the hotel was the 90 stairs that had to be climbed to access the room! This was not for the faint of heart and should be highlighted in the description.

Skønt hotel og pool område

Meget flot hotel, især det ydre, flot pool område med masser af plads. Enkelt indretning på værelserne, meget typisk græsk stil. Havde det du skulle bruge. Mange trappe som give god motion men hårdt efter 87 trin op. Det var værelse med havudsigt. Den flotteste udsigt. Det venligste personale👍👍👍. Morgenmad, frokost og aftensmad kunne bestilles. Gode priser. Stille og hyggelig hotel.

Hemos estado alojados durante una semana y la verdad es que ha sido una grata experiencia. Los apartamentos están localizados arquitectónicamente en vertical, como en bancales o estratos. Las vistas son preciosas y ves el amanecer desde la terraza. Eso sí, no estan adaptados para carritos o sillas de ruedas y hay algunas escaleras. El personal tanto de recepción como de limpieza es muy amable. Mención especial a Kostas (Κώστας), el dueño del bar-restaurant-piscina. Lástima no poder comunicarnos mejor por mi falta de inglés porque creo que hubiéramos mantenido conversaciones muy interesantes. El Hotel es familiar, sin grandes lujos pero con lo necesario para pasar un estancia muy agradable. Tiene una ubicación perfecta para visitar la mitad oeste de esa isla increíblente bonita. Muchas gracias por todo. Familia Mar-vel
