Ktima Petalea

One of the most beautiful properties and beaches we have ever visited! Super friendly staff and excellent service! Highly recommended, particularly for those who love nature! We'll definitely be returning very soon!

Schönes kleines Ferienhaus, sehr ruhige Lage direkt am Strand. Das Restaurant war Anfang Juni noch geschlossen.

Die Küchenausstattung ist nur für die Zubereitung des Frühstücks geeignet.

Fantastic location if you seek a private location out of town.

Internet had to be used outside for any kind of reception so that could be improved.

We were nicely welcomed by Melina who deals with the reservations and english/French speaking customers. The owner Elias, and his brother don't speak much english, but they are welcoming generous and charming with the customers. They serve breakfast at the beach bar. The lady who helps with the cooking and rooms is also friendly and helpful. We loved the hotel , the setting, the gardens directly in the most wild and quiet part of the long Mavrovouni beach. Plenty of protected turtle nests around, but we missed our chance to see them laying at night.

Nice wildlife, flora & fauna around the property. Proximity to Gytheio, Aeropolis, and Glyfada caves. 4 beds for four people, which is rare to find (usually 3 beds & 1 couch is what is available). Staff tried to be helpful in any way they could.

The restaurant had not yet opened for the season, and the place was overall quite empty, despite it being mid-June. The next available grocery store is 3km away, and the owner was not quite certain on it's opening hours.? The grass on the property is too spiny for kids to play barefoot on it. The front verandas are not equipped with sun umbrellas. The WiFi key is nowhere to be found in the room, and despite it being a random number series, it seemed more reasonable that it is dictated to us instead of just having it on display somewhere in the room. The tv is poorly positioned in the room, making it uncomfortable for anybody to watch. Also, only local channels were available. Overall, it was a rather bizarre stay.

This is the place you want to stay for privacy, peace, and relaxation. Our host was very responsive with any problems or questions and so nicely left us a bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary but otherwise left us in peace. The grounds were beautiful to wake up to. Absolute quiet in the morning was our favourite time, waking to birds and nothing else. We took our morning coffee and sat near the beach bar area before anyone arrived and enjoyed the beach view.we stayed 4 nights and would have loved a week stay. Close enough to drive to nearby towns to explore for the morning, then spend the afternoon lazing on the beachfront.I have read other reviews as this is how we decide on our bookings and yes the kitchenette could be bigger or updated but it does the job, and maybe some bottled water to make coffee and a little milk left in fridge would be a nice touch if you forgot to grab these necessities but there is a supermarket not 5 mins drive away, along with beachfront tavernas or ten mins further is the beautiful town of Gythio with Taverna's all along the waterfront. To us, what we are paying for is the privilege of accessing one of the most beautiful beaches we have used in Greece. I'm pretty sure if you stay here, you will have your own vehicle as it's not a place to catch a taxi to. Thank you for having us, and we totally recommend your beautiful place to stay.

That we couldn't stay longer.
