This Hotel is in a very quiet rural area of the Island near the small village of Spartia. Transportation (Car/Scooters) absolutely necessary, even the nearest beach (small) is 25 minutes or more, walk away. Having said that the peace and quiet is lovely. The Hotel is typical of the Greek Islands, a little dated. The rooms are clean and spacious. Not enough wardrobe space for two people in double room. The air conditioning is good and they have a safe. The showers in the bathrooms have little room, especially when fitted with a screen (they don't all have one). When the hotel started getting busier towards the end of our stay the 'hot' water was not always available, but warm enough I suppose. The balconies are very small and where you have a bigger Terrace, this is sometimes outside the front of your room and may not be private. Breakfast was basic, buffet style. The hot food sometimes had sat around too long, but sometimes when asked provided on a call basis. They do also proved a limited Lunch and Dinner menu, again fairly basic. The Pool area is lovely and there was a lot of chairs and sunbeds and was mainly empty whilst we were there. There is a gym in the basement and a sauna near the pool which didn't work. With transport, everywhere is easy to get to, Argostoli can be reached in a car in 20 minutes or so, as is the Airport. There are some restaurants nearby, but again all need transport. the one in Spartia 'Cavo Liakas' is very good and with a 20 minute walk can be reached on foot. The family and staff are friendly and will accommodate requests and sort out issues. I had a good stay

Leivatho Hotel met all our personal criteria: good location and prime view, fine sense of design and architecture, green areas, attentive and friendly personnel, large beds with sleep-friendly mattresses, good nearby infrastructure with good taverns, a non-crowded sandy beach (Avithos Beach) located nearly at the door and last but not least ... SUSTAINABILITY We like the hotel's ambitious environmental engagement (supposedly pretty rare in Greek tourism so far). Suggestions for further improvements: Why not become “plastic-free” (the beautyful island partly sinks into plastic waste, you can find plastic bottles seaming roads, covering fields, waiting in dry waterbeds just to be washed into the Ionian Sea by the next autumn rain). Why not strictly use paper straws, offer honey and butter from local acriculture in glass cups? Why not provide a charging station for electric cars (we saw more of them than expected)? CULINARY The rich breakfast offered some typical greek elements and is fine, if your definition of the perfect breakfast is not equivalent to fancy bread. Since we've had outstanding nearby taverns (like Avithos Preview) we didn‘t even try the hotel's cuisine. But we liked their tasty smoothies, welcome-juice and the free accessable flavored water. WIFI Even if full WIFI access is not granted all time in all studios (bugging Youtube-loving teenagers) the hotel complex always provides free accesses, e.g. in the lounge. WEBSITE COMMUNICATION and EXPECTATIONS Concerning the Hotel's communication and in this regard potentially raised expectations: please don't build on an expansive pool or cold, sterile, polished architectural magazine-like perfectionism. If you can live with a small (but neat) pool and overlook tiny ravages of time flaws you can have a great relaxing time in this resort. So, why a 5 star rating? Despite the above-mentioned minor things that could easily be fixed or improved, we love the hotel's overall package (attitude, design and staff). We would choose Leivatho Hotel again at any time.

We recently stayed at Astra Village & to be perfectly honest the holiday was fantastic, the room & hotel was spotlessly clean, pool area lively with the most comfortable sunbeds I have ever seen. Staff were friendly & very helpful. Nice quiet hotel & area for a relaxing break. My only disappointment was the fact on our last day we vacated our room at 11am, our all inclusive bands removed & that was it for us, no food or drink despite the fact we had an evening flight at 9.50pm & pick up wasn't till 7.45pm. We called Jet 2 who sent a rep out, she said it was hotel policy & they should have told us on arrival but they hadn't informed us of this. The hotel admitted that they were wrong in not telling us but wouldn't budge on allowing us to have any lunch or drink which was rather cruel in my eyes as we had paid a lot of money for this holiday & didn't expect to pay out for extra food & drink as we were all inclusive. Even if we were ok to have lunch that would have been fine but no nothing. Anyway I wouldn't say I won't ever go back but I will allow for the fact we have to take spare money to buy food & drink on last day if late flight home.

Good hotel with private pool and terrace. Enyojed it so much
