Piskopiano Village

We were disappointed overall but especially with our apartment here this year. We booked a premium apartment with jet2 but because of mobility and access, I emailed and asked for a room near the entrance. Beware if you do this that not all the apartments have been refurbished to premier as we were led to believe. In fairness website does say that your room might not be similar to that pictured. Hmm yes, no resemblance at all, very basic very warm poorly equipped apartment with hard uncomfortable single beds. See pictures. Air con is free but not that great, ditto Wi-Fi. Cleanliness and housekeeping you can’t fault although bedding is only a single sheet, no covers or cushions. This hotel has potential but needs improvement. Pool bar does not serve breakfast and not always any food at all, poor selection of drinks. Top bar never open, shame as the lounge is nice but under utilised. Very quiet if you like that, but dull atmosphere and staff indifferent. Obviously location is excellent. Do your homework and triple check what you’re paying for and if the refurb is complete before you book. 2025 may be much improved.

Where to start?? The location is fantastic. Your slap bang in the middle of Piskopiano and Koutoulafari…2 beautiful villages. In the evening you really know you’re somewhere special. If you’re after authentic Greece then this is the place for you. Hersonissos is just down the hill (a 10/15 minute walk) It’s a lively town that to be honest we didn’t spend too much time in. The beach is lovely and there’s lots to do…But it’s young and lively which is fine if that’s what you’re after. It wasn’t what we were after. The Piskopiano villas are basic. It’s proper self catering. The air con was free (no surcharge) and the whole grounds are really lovely. Very well designed. The staff are fantastic and will help you with every chance they get. It has 2 pools, both very deep! I don’t know who that that was a good idea but it wasn’t 🤣 To be honest the whole place needs a few quid spending on it. However it is what it is and when your in such lovely surroundings you can suck it up. There were plenty of families still having lots of fun in the pool so don’t let it put you off too much. There’s a few Spar shops a few minutes walk from the villas will cater for all your lunch needs (the villas don’t do much in the way of food which is daft!). The villas have a pool bar with Ben (a great guy) serving drinks until 18.00 when his shift finishes. The beds are comfy and the cleaners come in everyday and give everything a spruce up. It just needs a few quid spending on it! One of the pools was a bit cloudy, the bar doesn’t really do lunch or breakfast, the air con is good but not great, the table tennis table is fun but withered. It’s madness really because this place has fantastic location and could be a self catering gold mine! Overall if you get it for the right price then do it!! As I’ve said the villages are beautiful and the staff are great. The local restaurants do some wonderful Greek food and there’s a local cafe ‘Socrates’ that does some yummy Greek fast food at a really good price. You can’t knock it unless it cost you a fortune! 4/5 but could so easily be a five with a bit of TLC!

Location is fantastic. Housekeeping are excellent. Apartments are spacious & ours (35) had a stunning view from both balconies. Only negative for me was the ludicrously deep swimming pools, which have about 3 square metres you can stand in before plunging steeply to a depth of over 3m. Fine for strong swimmers but not for my special needs daughter who loves the water but required constant supervision. That was the only negative from me though, everything else was faultless Late checkout (6pm) available for 30 euros which made for a relaxing end to our holiday Lovely spot right in the centre of the village, would have been a 5* review if I'd been able to relax round the pool
