Hotel Livadaki Village

My husband and I recently stayed at Livadaki Village Hotel. It was the first time we had stayed there and we were delighted. The hotel overlooks the Ionian Sea and stands against a backdrop of mountains. It is so quiet and peaceful. Sophia is really lovely and friendly, as are David, Chrysanthi and all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was beautiful. Very nicely decorated and spacious, with a stunning view from the balcony. Breakfast was delicious with lots of fresh fruit, yoghurt, honey, cheeses and bread, coffee, tea and juice. The pool was lovely, very clean and overlooked the sea. A stunning view! There is also a smaller children’s pool and plenty of sun beds. There is a lovely walk down to the main beach at Skala, takes about 10 minutes. A further 5 minutes will take you into the main street where there are several tavernas serving delicious food. If you prefer to stay at the hotel they serve delicious food including Greek salads. We both felt relaxed and rejuvenated on returning from our holiday, and will definitely be visiting Livadaki again!

To put it in a nutshell - conditions compatible with the price. This is definitely an "economic" solution, so you can't expect too much. If you consider that, it's just okay. The standard corresponds to two stars rather. The main advantages are: - very nice location on a hill with a sea view (some people complain about the need to climb up when returning from the beach or from the center, but this was not a problem for us; there is always a lazy option with a taxi for a few euros); - only several hundred meters to a wide and uncrowded beach; - approx. one and a half kilometers to the center of the village, but the first taverns with decent food are already halfway; - it is a very calm hotel (houses/rooms spread over a larger area); no noise, no battle for sunbeds around the pool from the early morning, no noise from hundreds of children playing; - neat and relatively spacious rooms. Disadvantages: - terrible breakfasts; extremely modest and exactly the same everyday, and in addition cheap ingredients (one type of sausage and cheese, tomato, yogurt, sliced ​​egg, cornflakes, the lowest quality wheat bread, filtered coffee); some of the guests brought their own breakfast products (which in theory was included in the price); - no restaurant; at the pool bar you can only get some snacks served only until afternoons; no possibility to drink coffee in the very morning before eight o'clock; - room cleaning is everyday, but not too detailed; the lady mainly changes the towels (sheets twice a week); - aircondition extra paid - 45 EUR per week; - the staff is OK; they try to be helpful in all matters, but they definitely try to do not overdo.
