Sea View Village

Sea View Village, Vasilikos is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. It is set on a delightful hillside giving beautiful sea views from most rooms. Acommodation is in four independant well maintained buildings and a fabulous swimming pool and pool bar in the centre. We were upgraded to a maisonette type appartment with a huge bedroom and massive bed, dressing table, bedside tables with drawers, a good sized wardrobe and ample clothes storage. There is a kitchenette with fridge/ freezer, toaster and kettle and tgere are plenty of electrical sockets. The shower room has a large walk in jungle shower with hand help attachment, washbasin & toilet. Double doors lead to a large shaded balcony with table & chairs, further chairs in the corner and a rattan double bench seat. Lovely views. The balcony doors also have a sliding insect net screen. On arrival the manager Maria made us most welcome as did the receptionist Anastasia. Maria gave us a guided tour of our room and explained the hotels layout. The dining room is superbly located overlooking the sea surrounded by pine & fig trees. Breakfast is a combination of continental with some hot dishes such as fried & scrambled eggs, mini frankfurters, sometimes beans or mushrooms but absoloutely plenty to choose from. Evening meals change daily and prices are competetive with the local restaurants. The mealtine staff are lovely and Josephine stopped every morning for a chat. The swimming pool is brilliant', extremely cleaned & well maintained. Towels are placed on the sunbeds for people to use. We never had a problem getting a sunbed, the busiest time of day was around 4pm when guests came back from the beaches (hotel does a mini bus drop off at 11am, pick up 4pm.) The guys behind the bar were always smiling & attentive & we learned a lot chatting to them about Albania & Ukraine, always a welcome We cannot fault the hotel it is marvellous. Best tip is hire a car & explore the island too. Without a car there is not much to do or get to

Had a wonderfully relaxing week here, it really is a gem of a find for those wanting simplicity done really well. Clean room with a comfy bed and lovely little balcony overlooking the sea. The pool area had plenty of choice of sunbeds (could be the time of year though, we went in September). One of the real highlights is the quality of the food, a good choice of traditional Greek dishes every evening and the wait staff are genuinely warm and friendly. I was a little concerned about the hotel being on a fairly steep road from the beach but many people did walk - we took advantage of the hotel’s shuttle bus driven by lovely Anastasia. Happy hour between 3-5pm became a regular treat for me, enjoying a cocktail (or two!) by the pool became a daily highlight! Thank you Maria for such a warm welcome and for caring about our experience whilst staying with you. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay and enjoyed the friendliness of the whole staff and the well maintained hotel complex. Our room was very spacious with a big terrace with sea view. We would have preferred a studio on a higher floor with an even more spectacular sea view but maybe next time. The beds are excellent plus an insect screen door ensure a good sleep. The only unpleasant thing was the intense bad smell in the bathroom, probably a drainage problem? The walk down to the beach was pleasant and the way back a bit steep but if you’re in an average shape it’s no problem. There’s also a shuttle bus but we didn’t want to depend on the fixed schedules. We enjoyed the rich buffet for breakfast and the always lovingly prepared meals for dinner which is a la carte. So thanks to the lovely staff that made us feel so welcomed!

Arrived 29th Aug till 9th Sept. Lovely warm welcome by Maria and her hospitality was continuous throughout our stay. Room 302 was lovely overlooked the pool but also beautiful sea view. Peaceful resort always available sunbeds and sunbed towels replaced through the day. Ate in the restaurant a few times and enjoyed breakfast especially the home made products and the fig jam. Lots of fresh figs on nearby trees. Hired a care for 5 days and visited 5 different beaches plus Zante town. Thank you to the lovely Anastasia for taking us and picking us up from the local beach. Would love to come back one day. Really had a truly amazing holiday.

Thankfully we have one further day left to enjoy everything that the team at this hotel provides to make this a really wonderful holiday experience. It can’t be faulted. The warmness of the staff is exceptional as are the facilities. The rooms are large, comfortable and the pool and bar are superb. It’s a 10/10 from the Francis Family. Thank you Maria and everyone. This is JUST what we needed.
