Guest reviews for Avanti
"This was the perfect accomodation. The location was amazing and the facilities exceeded our expectations. The staff were amazing and super helpful with recommendations. We will definitely be staying here again."
"Aucun."
"This place was amazing! Family run and everyone was so accommodating. The view of the town was amazing from the pool! I liked staying somewhere with a view of Chora instead of right inside the town but still being a short 5 minute walk away to explore. Restaurants and 4wheeler rental were all very close. 10 to 10 would stay here again."

"Beautiful room #7 Great location, Great breakfast,. They came to the port and picked up, then returned us at the end of the stay."
"Weather was windy, First week of may 2023, Too early in the season"
"Very nicely decorated rooms and outdoor areas. Nice view from balcony over chora and the sea. Short walk into chora, with everything you need of shops, supermarket, cafés and restaurant, bars etc. Ios town is such a cute town, and you can also walk 20 min to Mylopotas beach which is a great sandy beach. In October I had the whole beach to myself, but guess it is more busy in high season. Margherita, the hostess was also very friendly and picked me up in the port at arrival and offered to drive me at departure. Would higly recommend to everyone. Would definitely stay again if I ever come back to Ios."

Rosemary Nana Apartments
"Quiet hotel, nice and helpful staff, tasty breakfast, close to the beach, perfect for families. If you have a car, the hotel has good position to start you trips to western Krete. There is a sandy beach which is used by turtles to lay eggs. During august you may be lucky to see the young ones to hatch from the eggs. We have seen one. :-)"
Peter Hotel Caretta Beach
"The hotel staff is incredibly kind and always ready to help. The facilities are fantastic — clean, well maintained, and very family-oriented. They even cooked fresh food for our baby every day and delivered it right on time with a smile! The food is excellent, and there’s a great variety of activities for both kids and adults. Having a supermarket inside the hotel is super convenient for last-minute needs like sunscreen or diapers. There’s also a car rental service and several tour operators on-site offering nice excursion packages. We loved the thoughtful touches, like the welcome basket with wine and fruits and the olive oil farewell gift. The bus to Chania stops right in front of the hotel, and the little train excursion to the lake is a perfect morning activity. The hotel app is also very useful — it has all the information you need for your stay."

"- private beach - views across to Mani are breathtaking - hotel food better than any restaurant in the area - staff genuinely excellent - particularly in afternoon/evenings"
"Very nice modern apartment with all the amenities including air conditioning and washing machine, which was very helpful. It is located in about 100 meters from the beach in a small town of Vonitsa. It is not far from Lefkada, about 20 minutes by car. The host is very nice and even left some snacks for our breakfast on the first day. The bakery is next door, which is also very helpful."
