Kerveli Village Hotel

The hotel is located on a beautiful bay, at the end of September - quiet. Several multi-story buildings nicely maintained, a small swimming pool with even smaller space for sun loungers. Advantages of the hotel: 1. Beautiful views from the room (of course from those with a sea view), a wonderful bay with calm water. 2. Peace and quiet. 3. Tasty dinner, although the selection was small. Every day there was fish, some meat and vegetables. Fruits - watermelons, melons and one cake. Tasty food at the pool bar with prices not so high. Disadvantages: 1. Bathroom with a microscopic shower tray and a terrible curtain. No ventilation, not renovated for a long time. 2. Breakfast is very modest, the same every day, lots of industrial cookies. 3. Very expensive wine with dinner. 4. The space for deckchairs (garden?) neglected, without shade. The surroundings are very neglected. 5. Private beach, you have to buy something at the bar to use the sun loungers. The sales ladies are nice, unlike the owner. 6. Rocky shore, very damaged bottom, contrary to descriptions, not good for snorkeling. Some fish. 7. There is nowhere to go for walks.

The hotel is charming in a very pretty and quiet bay. Not many boats and especially no jet skis, so you can swim there in complete safety. I don't quite understand, the beach seems to be at the beach bar but all the hotel guests took deckchairs there (an arrangement with the hotel or maybe it's enough to have a drink there ). But for those sensitive to pebbles, there is also a pontoon with 8 deckchairs and 3 parasols. The rooms are large and very impeccably kept. The bedding is very correct. The hotel operates half board. The best thing about this hotel is that the cuisine is Greek or Mediterranean. The cuisine is good and relatively varied. A very good seafood risotto, a very good eggplant caviar and the chef makes very good baklavas. At lunchtime, there is a snack bar near the swimming pool. They serve very good salads, especially the octopus one. It is also possible to eat at the beach bar (very good hummus) or by going a little further to the Kerveli taverna and there is yet another restaurant that I have not tried. In Kerveli there is also a small café which serves as a mini market. Another thing, the hotel has a shuttle running several times a day to go to Samos either to visit or to a restaurant for lunch. On the other hand, when we talk about serenity, it comes at a cost, you will necessarily have to rent a car (which the hotel offers) to visit the rest of the island. They have small city cars (very practical in certain narrow streets of the villages of the island) and a Suzuki essential for going on the mountain trails of the island (which I should have rented). So I repeat, the hotel is isolated but in a very beautiful and authentic area, far from the hotel complexes that can be found on other parts of the island. Just 2 little tips: 1- Take mosquito repellent because they can spoil your stay. 2- Also take a power *****, we only had 2 sockets available in the room and between cell phones, cameras, computers or others, that was a little tight. Last but not least, the staff, like the Greeks, are welcoming and friendly. I would end with a small downside, the hotel is praised for snorkeling. As I said you can swim in the bay safely but no big fish. You have to follow the coast on the left of the bay and go to the small island located in the next bay to see some beautiful rocks cut out by the sea and have a little fun.

We booked a stay for about ten days for a completely relaxing holiday and we discovered a little corner of paradise. Great availability at the reception, beautiful room with sea view, breakfast in a completely relaxing a**osphere. We appreciated the particularity of the structure which develops on a small stretch of coast with many stairs, but the beauty of the landscapes and the bay are absolutely worth a little effort. Highly professional diving center in a convivial a**osphere. All dives were organized with quality material and attention to the different experience levels of all participants. Tassos, Sara, Pilar and Rafel have always been available, attentive and always willing to share joyful moments of sport. The extreme attention to compliance and implementation of all health rules should be underlined. Experience to be repeated!

One of the most beautiful vacations we've had!!! A big congratulations to all the staff!!! He was always kind and smiling. Where do I start...All areas of the hotel are clean and tidy!!! We stayed in Poseidona villa which had all the amenities!! Breakfast rich and dinner excellent!!! The beach is perfect!!! The goddess is unique!!! The only negative is that we left we only stayed 10 days.. I highly recommend it!!!

The hotel is located in a picturesque bay. There are no other hotels around, no noise. This is definitely a place for people who want to experience peace and quiet while listening to the sound of cicadas :) The hotel offers car rental (as of July 2023, the cheapest option was €41/day). You can easily travel around the entire island in one day. There is a free bus from the hotel to the capital of the island (Samos) (timetable available at the reception). We went to the city for 3 hours and that was definitely enough - the capital is not geared towards tourists, you can see what everyday life of Greeks looks like, unspoilt by commercialism. I recommend shopping there! (definitely a wider selection than in the mini market next to the hotel). In the middle of the season (!) the bus was empty, we had a "private" ride. The hotel staff was helpful, everyone spoke English. Rooms of a good standard, air conditioning works well. Thoroughly cleaned every day, towels changed every 3-7 days. From the hotel, go down the stairs to the pier/beach of the hotel next door, which you can use after buying something in the local bar (affordable prices). Pool is fine, no fighting for sunbeds. Likewise on the pier. In the middle of the season, in July, it was sometimes completely empty (+ :)). Next to the hotel, in a bay, there is a tiny town called Kerveli (5-minute walk downhill), where there is a small shop (above) + 2 taverns. You can buy the most necessary things there. Breakfast buffet - you can sit inside or outside overlooking the sea. You can choose from bread, cheese, cold meats, eggs (fried, omelettes), sausages, fruit, cereals with milk, yogurt with jam/fruit, many baked goods (salty and sweet cookies). During breakfast, you can use a coffee machine, a juice machine or a water jug. As for dinners - also in buffet form. Every morning, the menu for a given day appeared in the canteen. During our stay, there were, for example, fries, souvlaki, fish, all kinds of meat, potatoes, pasta, lasagne - a lot to choose from, and there were always fresh vegetables + salads. The only downside is that you always have to pay for drinks with dinner - whether it's water or alcohol. I believe that a carafe of water should be on every table without having to pay for it. In such a situation, I recommend purchasing packs of water (and more ;)) from a nearby store :) Next to the swimming pool there is a bar with drinks and food (you can eat lunch there while waiting for dinner). There are many places within the hotel where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful views. I highly recommend going to the pier when it's already dark! You can see the stars beautifully :) A place worth recommending if someone wants to fully relax and experience peace and quiet.

A very nice hotel, in a charming place - but for people who value peace and nice surroundings. Delicious food, spacious rooms, clean and well-kept hotel and its surroundings. on-site car rental - fast, nice and at reasonable prices. The minus, and a big one, is the fee for the fridge - this is the first time we have encountered something like this. There were no other disadvantages
