Petrino Eco Village

If you seek authentic, Greek accommodation (as opposed to typical hotel boxes), in a chilled, beautiful environ, this is your place!! Small & intimate, with the most amazing, ever helpful staff (nothing is ever to much trouble)! Located within a short walk of Afitos (away from the tourist mayhem), yet close enough to enjoy it's gastronomy & bars. Their breakfasts can only be described as amazing (& rarely bettered even by 5* hotels)!! An amazing place & couldn't recommend highly enough (having spent a summer Greek Island hopping many years ago I was nervous returning to Greece), I shouldn't have been as this place was like stepping back in time & exceeded all expectations!

Beautiful place, excellent staff, lovely accommodation. Nice walk to the village and beach. Definitely visit the sister hotel White Suites, restaurant is excellent. Bar food was good if you didn’t want to walk into the village, gf options too. Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice, again gf options, staff were lovely and accommodating. We moved from the new building to the more authentic Greek accommodation, without any problems. Pool area was nice and clean, sunbeds were plenty. Will go back soon.

We had a lovely short stay here. The staff were lovely and friendly, the room was very spacious and the food was very good. The pool is a good size but the bottom has a pebbled effect surface which is very uncomfortable to walk or stand on. Was disappointed that we needed to book the shuttle to the beach the day before because what we wanted to do was dependent on the weather on the day. A comfortable walking distance from the village of Afitos.

We arrived after midnight as out flight was delayed and shown to our room by Maria. The room had extremely steep stairs and I had emailed previously to ask for a ground floor room as I'm not good at all with stairs. The next morning we asked to change room to one on the ground floor and Maria very kindly and attentively sorted this out for us. All of the staff in all parts of the hotel are very friendly and helpful, we couldn't fault them at all. Our new ground floor room was spacious and clean and the bathroom was a good size. There was also a very decent size veranda which was very relaxing. The hotel offers to clean your room and change your sheets and towels each day but some days we said that we didn't really need it. The air con worked well in 40+C. One of my personal bug bears in the med is the lack of recycling. I did enquire about this at reception and was told that we could take recycling to them and they would sort it but a few days later recycling bins arrived. The pool area is peaceful and you can just sit and read etc. The pool itself is just the right size for the hotel. There are not that many sunbeds and only a few that have sun all day, they are very comfortable though. We didn't use the pool bar as we got what we needed from the local supermarket. It seemed a bit expensive but the food that people did order looked very nice. We would recommend a taxi to the supermarket if you want to stock up on water, wine etc on the first day. The hotel will call them for you and there is a special rate of 5 euro. The breakfast was really very good and had an extensive choice, literally something for everyone. They bring your hot drinks to order, if you want tea make sure that you say black tea (which does come with milk) or you will get green tea. The village is a 10-15 minute walk (the road opposite the hotel) and all of the restaurants are really nice and authentic. Typical cost of around 50 euros for two including drinks. The staff outside the restaurants are friendly and not pushy. Though we never go back to the same place twice we would highly recommend this hotel and area for a relaxing holiday.

As a family we all absolutely loved the Petrino Suites Hotel. The grounds the suites are situated in are beautiful, relaxing and very tranquil. The staff, especially Maria, Maria and Froso were extremely helpful and couldn't do any more for us during our stay. We really did leave feeling like family and miss them all so much. We stayed in a family room which was perfect for us, our children had a separate room to sleep in off the side of the main room, there was a sofa for us to relax on, mini fridge to keep drinks cool, TV, Kettle, Hairdryer etc. Towels were changed daily and you could hire a pool towel for 5 euros for the duration of your trip. We ate at the pool bar and in the restaurant, the food was very fresh and tasted delicious. The buffet breakfast was diverse and gave us lots of variety over the 10 days we stayed. We loved going to breakfast every morning and sitting in the beautiful gardens listening to the crickets. My son keeps asking if we can bring the chef over to England! The ice cream at the pool bar was the best we have ever tasted! The bar shuts at 10pm, so its nice and quiet. We would have enjoyed the occasional evening entertainment, but there wasn't anything on during our stay. Myself and my son both had massages at the spa and came away feeling very relaxed. The fact my 9 year old could have a massage was a bonus as he loves them. The spa was very good value for money and I would highly recommend a visit to the spa during your stay. The local village took us about 12 mins to walk to, there was plenty of variety of restaurants, gift shops and a supermarket. Its a quaint little village which is very picturesque and looks out over the sea. If you carry on through the village and down the hill you can walk to the beach but the hill is quite steep and it can get very hot during the summer months. Snorkelling is a must, the water is as clear as anything and you can see so many fish. Our children enjoyed Kallitheas Beach the most as there were less rocks as you walked out to sea and a bit more room to play in the sand. We have definitely got the holiday blues now and hope to visit again some time soon.

This place is an absolute gem of a find!!! Real traditional Greek. Immaculate. Food 5 star. Welcoming and friendly hosts. Nothing too much trouble. The suite was beautiful, comfy bed. Very spacious!!

Just returned from 10 days at Petrino. Lovely accommodation and wonderful staff, from reception to pool bar and dinning. Set in lush green gardens, very peaceful. Nice pool area. Shuttle to White Sands Resort was easy, goes at 10.30-11.30am returns at 5pm, 5 mins away. We were the only people to use the White Sands beach resort so Petrino Reception sometimes paid a cab to take us. Afitos beach, accessed via the hilltop town is very challenging and not for the faint hearted, take the shuttle it's far easier. We took at cab into town at night, 5 euros each way. Beautiful town, cobbled streets , amazing restaurants, especially Stroubollis. The set menu at Petrino is 20 euros and a choice of fresh fish or meat. Very high class quality meal, beautifully presented. We were prepared for the mozzies and got no more than a tiny bite or 2 each.

Lovely authentic Greek hotel. We were upgraded on arrival to a new build apar**ent. We asked to move to the stone built two floor maisonette, which was accommodated the next day. Both rooms were excellent, but we wanted authenticity. Breakfast was excellent, everything you could want, gluten free friends and family were catered for. We didn’t eat evening meal in the restaurant but had we wanted to the staff said they could cater for our dietary needs. We stayed at the hotel a couple of nights, at the pool bar, the menu was varied enough, GF pizza, good pasta dishes, sandwiches and gyros. More expensive than in the village but not exorbitant. Cocktails were a couple of euros more than the village and the beach side hotels. A downside, it was €5 for a pool tower, non refundable, and rechargeable for another if you wanted a clean one. so we bought our own beach sheet in the village for €8. Pool area was lovely, surrounded by gardens, which was beautiful, however, we all got bites, so be prepared. We sprayed repellent but they still got us. Staff were outstanding, nothing was too much, Maria at reception was very helpful and Froza at the pool bar really friendly. It’s a 15-20 minute walk to the village where there are plenty of shops, bars, restaurants, a church and a nice beach. We utilised the free transfer to the sister hotel on the beach which had sunbeds with mattresses and parasols, free, a gorgeous bar area overlooking the beach and an amazing restaurant serving fresh fish. A lovely authentic hotel.
