Alavastros Villa

We stayed at these apartments for a month in the two bedroomed apartment which was lovely, with great air conditioning in the bedrooms. The apartments are run by a lovely family and nothing is too much trouble. They left us food in the fridge for our late arrival, baked cakes a couple of times which were delicious, were very helpful and so when we asked if they had a toaster, they went out and bought one for us! 😊 The apartment was cleaned/refreshed every day plus and they even did any clothes washing as it was requested. The stairs to the second floor are quite steep so you need to be mobile enough for that, but for most people they wont be a problem. Their dog Rocky was a regular visitor for a bit of ham, but nothing else as he is very fussy 😊 There are mosquito nets on all windows and the bedroom balcony doors, which was very welcome, although not too many mosquitos about in our experience. The location is very good – 10 mins from Argassi, 15 mins to Zante town and 2-15mins to beaches including Kaminia (buy a drink for beds), Kalamaki (15 euros for beds/umbrella), St Nicholas and Banana Beach – both 25-35 euros for beds/umbrella Nice secluded and private grounds with an electronic gate as you drive in. We had a car to get around, which I think is a must if you want to go further than a few local restaurants and get around the island or in to the local towns. Our Recommended restaurants include Agnadi, Mikri Dafni, Zinc and Yaria, as well as the restaurant at Mikro Nisi. Skyfall beach club in Argassi was great, with beds with thick matresses, only requiring a 10 euro spend per person (see separate review). Beaches worth a visit inc Mikro Nisi (try the restaurant here – amazing), Xigia (sulphur beach), Porto Limnionas, St Nicholas Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and hope to stay again in the future. 👏👏👏👏
