“basic but clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed here after being told the original apartments (piskopiano village) were overbooked. We were intially very disappointed as I had spent hours looking for what i had thought would be the ideal apartments in the ideal location. Petra village apartments are just outside the village of Koutouloufari but it was only a 5 minute walk to the centre. We were put in a twin studio although we had paid for a 1 bed so we were not very happy! After Vasso (the owner) turned up she gave us the keys to 4 different types of apartments and let us choose one. We ended up with a lovely 1 bed apartment with views over the countryside and sea.I felt she couldn't do enough for us even inviting us to share her mother's home made stifado The rooms are very basic and do need a bit of updating but the cleaner came in every day so it was kept clean. Vasso also let us stay on in our room until 12 30am as we had an early morning flight at no extra charge. Vasso, Kostas and Sergio were all lovely friendly people and we feel we probably ended up having a better holiday than staying at the piskopiano village apartments with grumpy old Yiannis!

The maisonette we were staying was very clean with all equipment almost new. Very nice sea view from the small balcony. People were polite and helpful.

“Dirty Family Business - AVOID!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Do you want a comfortable, relaxing holiday ? If the answer is yes then AVOID the Dirty Petra Village. Ive had the misfortune of staying here before (penny pinching employer) and it is without doubt the worst accomodation ive ever experienced. (ex army)

It is tired, rundown and uncomfortable.

No improvements have been made since 2009.PHOTOS SUPPLIED.

Its very strange to see good reviews for this hotel.Iwonder who writes them. The complex is unkept, the rooms are ant infested and dirty, the 4 family staff owners are totally self absorbed,playing cards,smoking at bar and no doubt counting your hard earned etc. Thats right only 4 members of staff who run the complex - and a couple of cleaners

If Gordon Ramsay was a hotel Inspector this place would be closed.

My advice would be to look at the photos. Consider ALL the reviews especially the ones pushed to the bottom on last pages. Come to your own conclusion.

Hope you take my advice and book elsewhere. Otherwise good luck!!

“cheap and cheerful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009

We booked our holiday 2 days before we went and were not disappointed with the accommodation in general, or the facilities at the hotel. For a 2 star stay the apartment was good with private balcony and excellent maid service daily. The apartments stretch up the hillside, we stayed in 2 as we paid 20 euro extra to stay on due to late flight. the first in C block was not far to walk and had a good view, the second in E block was a short walk up the mountain but had the superior view, but also more mozzies. The pool was lovely and the bar area also nice to be around. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to help us and improve our stay, Linda especially. The only negative to the holiday was that the young bar-man (Vas) did try to rip us off 2 of the 3 nights we spent at the bar so please watch your change. Both times we gave 20 euro for 2 drinks and got change for a 10 (2 euro) when we questioned him he said nothing and immediately gave us another 10 euro change, hmmm? Out of the hotel turn left and wander up the road 10 minutes to around 30 different bars and restaurants, some of the best food you will eat, we made a good friend there, manos at the adriadni restaurant. Would definetly go again, recommended for couples it's all very romantic!!
