Al Mare Villas

We’ve been here twice now, and it is absolutely lovely. Would heartily recommend. The location is ideal - it is a 10-15 minute walk from about 10 restaurants either way along the coast that all serve excellent food. Despite that, it is unsurrounded by other resorts which mean you have peace and quiet all day and night. (The flip side: if you are looking for a party capital, this is not it.) The resort also has step access to a small beach, with private sun loungers - there was always one free since there are so few rooms at the resort. It is only a 5 minute walk to larger beaches with proper sand and crystal clear seas. We survived without a car, staying local, but other guests had rental cars and there was always ample parking. The rooms are perfectly clean and incredibly spacious. The first time we stayed we had the apartment, which was very spacious. It had air conditioning, a very serviceable kitchenette and a lovely terrace. It was cleaned to a very high standard daily. The bathroom was functional and spacious (which is not a given in Greece!) The second time we had the traditional villa: this had all the same features but the extra space, the fancy sun loungers and the pool were an absolute delight. The highlight is definitely the breakfast which is included. The breakfast buffet is delicious and well stocked with sweet and savoury continental items. There is also an a la carte menu with excellent choice. It was always fresh, well cooked, and had enough variety we ate there every day. The staff (from the management, to the service, to the housekeeping) are all incredibly friendly, professional and eager to help. They remember your breakfast order, sort out taxis, and add beautiful touches like rose petals in your room. If you are after a lovely, relaxing holiday, I cannot recommend Al Mare strongly enough.

This holiday has been perfect. Beautiful quiet villas each with their own small pool looking out on to the sea. George the manager was so helpful and accommodating. Breakfasts were excellent. All other staff helpful as well. Traditional tavernas within an easy 10 minute walk. The IL Porte in Old Kiotari a family run taverna were so friendly with excellent home cooked greek cuisine.

It's difficult to describe how spot on the Al Mare Villas are for a quiet peaceful break in the sun. The place is perfect with excellent food, perfectly clean and maintained rooms, a private pool serviced every morning and the loveliest private beach just one minutes stroll from the villa. The staff are lovely, friendly without being in any way intrusive and George is George, the kinda guy who's always there and yet never there at the same time. The only downside of Al Mare was having to go home and the way we felt sorry for other people who had to stay in the stuffy, noisy, all inclusive places 3 or 4 minutes away. The ideal idyll for someone who enjoys peace and quiet and never wants to do all the crowded holidaymaker stuff. We'll be back at the start of the season next year when everything's lovely, fresh, quiet and uncrowded again.

Very good place with great staff. I highly recommend it !!!!!
