Vardis Olive Garden

Non avevo grandi aspettative su questo hotel, ma quanto mi sbagliavo! L'ambiente è perfetto, immerso nelle montagne, in un uliveto fuori dai sentieri battuti. A pochi passi dal bellissimo Lago Kournas e dalla spiaggia di Giorgioupoli, era una posizione eccellente. Le camere sono spaziose, avevamo una vista sulle montagne, sulla piscina e sull'oliveto - camera 112 con balcone. Il posto è perfettamente pulito, i giardini sono ben curati con incantevoli alberi di aranci e rose nonché una splendida piscina, ma la cosa migliore di questo hotel è il personale. Sofia, Thanie, Maria alla reception sono gentili, amichevoli, premurosi e sono così allegri! Il personale del ristorante e del bar è attento e molto cordiale e da chiunque passi, ottieni uno "yasas". Abbiamo ricevuto ottimi consigli per i ristoranti e una bella sorpresa per la decorazione del letto di compleanno! Ci è stato anche fatto un bel regalo quando abbiamo lasciato dell'olio d'oliva, fatto dal boschetto. Ritornerò assolutamente. Sei stato fantastico!

Do not be put off by the low star rating at this hotel! The hotel is perfect if you're looking for a good value, quiet, comfortable and clean base to stay, which is exactly what we wanted and what we got. Even at the height of summer, you did not need to get up early to get a place by the pool, nor struggle to get a parking space (which we have found at other hotels). The hotel is clean throughout, in the most beautiful setting, and not too far from shops and tavernas (a 15 to 20 minute walk to the larger supermarket was fine for us). We were given a welcome drink on arrival and 2 small bottles of olive oil when checking out, which we found a lovely touch. The staff were friendly, welcomimg and helpful. The rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed every fourth day (my only observation is the towels could be a little softer but it was okay for us in all). The food was traditional, often with meat and fish options, salad, vegetables etc, and was fresh and delicious! Freshly cooked food was provided whenever things ran low, and desert (though limited) was always great. Breakfast was great too, plentiful and a little different every day. There aren't as many food options at the hotel as others we have stayed at, but we stuck to the buffet (we were half board) and did not try the à la carte menu that came at extra cost, so there is that option if needed. The grounds were well maintained and easy to get around. The air conditioning does come at extra cost (€7 per room per night) unless you book direct with the hotel (we learned after) and is capped at 23 degrees at its lowest, but this was again fine for us. There was also a fridge in each room which was handy and plenty of space to put your clothes and belongings away. A safe was provided at extra cost too. Don't forget the local tax also which is payable on check out which was €2 per room, per night. Overall, very worth the money paid and we would stay again. Thank you Vardis Olive Garden!

Such a lovely holiday. The staff were absolutely amazing and welcomed me and my family so very well, we had the best time and loved our time by the pool. Everything was clean and well thought out. Would 100% go again, not a bad word to say about this hotel. I recommend that you visit this beautiful place! Thank you Vardis Olive Garden!

This is an amazing hotel resort which is very unique on an olive farm. The rooms were very clean, spacious, and comfortable!! Overall all the facilities from the lobby, breakfast area, bar, seating and the pool was very clean and great! I loved how peaceful the resort was and the very friendly staff here to make your experience better. Thank you for the great holiday!!

What a beautiful location, a bit of a trek to the beach but the peace and tranquility is worth it!( Also easily sorted by hiring a car). Immaculately clean , beautiful pool ,and did I mention peaceful?? lol. Breakfast was lovely, we were down for evening meals but as there weren't many of us we had limited choice which was a shame especially on veal stew and puree potato night lol!!!. Only downer for us was that we were the only English couple in the hotel so only had ourselves to chat to if an evening , but I would not hesitate to go back,but this time with a hire car to see a bit more

We (my 10 year old daughter and I) stayed at this fabulous hotel 11 days. (july 18-28).Upon arrival we were offered a welcome drink, which we chose to have at the tables by the pool. Our room was on the top floor, overlooking the pool, we had a nice balcony. I asked for 2 single beds (for my daughter and I), but the staff upgraded our one-room studio (which we booked) to a 2 room apartement for free, which was a very pleasant surprise at our arrival. The rooms are well-equipped, there is a kitchenette (fridge, cutlery electric cooker etc), service is great, everything is clean and well taken care of. Breakfast was included in the price, buffet style, there are no queues at the coffee machine, or at the food. The restaurant has an open air terrace, we always sat there, overlooking the pool and the mountains (further in the background). Food was delicious, and there was always fruit too, mostly melon. There are two pools, a shallow one for small children and a bigger one, it is not overcrowded, and there are plenty of sunbeds too, so we enjoyed it very much. There is also a small supermarket on site, near the reception. The two ladies at the reception (Sophia and Maria) are very kind, guest oriented, they are very attentive and try to help with everything they can, but all other employees are also very friendly and helpful. The main street of Kavros is within a 10minutes' walk, and the beautiful sandy beach at about 15-20 minutes' walking distance from the Hotel. Actually, we liked it there so much, that we decided to extend our holiday at this Hotel with 6 more days. We are looking forward to returning there next year too.
