10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is well situated close to the centre of Patras. On arrival there was a friendly welcome. The room was very large, with plenty of hanging space and surfaces to put things. There was a TV (only one channel for english speakers), safe, AC, coffee machine, fridge. The bed was comfortable. There was a balcony. The bathroom was spacious and shower was very good. We had some issues with the safe and AC and the staff did their best to help. The breakfast (14 euros extra pp) was excellent. Lots of choice and changed slightly each day. All staff were very kind and helpful. We would highly recommend this hotel."

Grecotel Casa Marron

10/10 Excellent
"We had an absolutely incredible stay at Grecotel Casa Marron and will definitely be returning, even though it’s a long journey for us all the way from Canada! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how stylish, beautifully designed, and well-kept the entire property is. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Our room was kept spotless with daily cleaning service, and while sheets and towels are standardly refreshed every three days, the housekeeping team is more than happy to change them whenever you ask. Having fresh beach towels provided and easily exchangeable throughout our stay made pool and beach days completely hassle-free. The dining experience was another major highlight. Every meal offered delicious food with incredible variety, ranging from fresh fish and quality meats to plenty of fantastic vegetarian dishes. Between the two main bars open until midnight and the specialized ice cream, snack, and pasta bars scattered around, there was always something great to grab throughout the day. Travelling with a toddler can sometimes be challenging, but this resort made it effortless. The pools are fantastic, and my two-year-old was utterly obsessed with the pool slides. In fact, we spent so much time enjoying the water that we didn't even make it to the playground located right behind our room! On top of that, we never had to stress about finding a place to relax because there were always plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas available around the grounds."

Cozy Apollon Villa, Sea View, Next To Galaxidi

10/10 Excellent
"Wow - What a place!The only negative is that after staying here, no future property will ever match the view. Beyond that, the villa is genuinely impressive, offering a bright, open lounge‑diner‑kitchen space and everything is to a high standard.The host Julia, greeted us in the early hours of the morning (after our flight was delayed) to welcome us with wine and fruit and from then on both she and George became our friendly neighbours who live just downstairs. Despite the language barrier we got on well and communicated by whatsapp to make things easier. The location is wonderfully peaceful: Eratini is only about five minutes away, Galaxidi around twenty, but there are no major towns or large supermarkets nearby. However, with such an amazing view you don't feel the need to go anywhere. The 5m pool is great to cool off there's a few local cats keen to keep you company and couple of friendly pet dogs that like you to say hi when passing. The BBQ was not available due to local fire risk laws but we found the Katina tavern took orders on Whatsapp for take away - great food and incredible value as were all the local restaurants we tried. Galaxidi was beautiful would also recommend the Trizona Island and hiring a boat there, that was a lot of fun.We would certainly consider returning, though now that we've been, next time we would likely stay for a week and then move on to a busier location for the second part of the trip."

"We’ve just returned from a wonderful family holiday at Villa Luna, and it was perfect for us. The villa had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean, and felt like a real home from home.The garden and pool were fantastic. The pool was a great size with an ideal depth, and we made the most of it every single day. Parking was easy, and the views from both the garden and the balconies were absolutely beautiful.We were warmly welcomed by Christos, who lives next door. He showed us everything we needed to know when we arrived and then gave us complete privacy for the rest of our stay. It was reassuring to know he was nearby whenever we had a question or needed anything.Nafpaktos is only a 15-minute drive away, and we found ourselves visiting most evenings. It's a lovely town with plenty of great restaurants, beautiful sea views, and charming little shops to explore.We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely love to return one day. We highly recommend Villa Luna to anyone looking for a relaxing family holiday."
