Villa Iokasti

Just returned from a fantastic 12 nights at villa Iokasti. What can I say? Firstly and most importantly Katy amd Eleni the hosts are the most lovely, kind people. All the staff from the maids to bar and waiting staff are so friendly. The rooms are immaculate and very comfortable. The pool area is well maintained, with beautiful flowers and herbs and plenty of sun beds.. The food is amazing, slightly different from the norm and attention to detail is 1st class. My husband's mum died while we were visiting and everyone was so kind and considerate. We are already looking at dates to return.

We've been visiting the villages since 2007 but never stayed here as we've always booked a package . We have eaten in the restaurant and we consider it to be the best in Koutouloufari. This year we decided to book Villa Iokasti and we are so glad we did. The place is family owned and run, and every single member of staff goes out of their way to assist you and chat with you whenever they are able. Kate and Eleni are the most wonderful hosts- so warm and welcoming. Maria and Kostas in the restaurant and Cecilia in housekeeping are wonderful people with always a smile and time to chat. The rooms are quite frankly the best we have EVER had the pleasure of staying in, every detail has been carefully thought through- and the finish of the room and decor is second to none. The pool area is small and intimate with enough space for everyone to relax in their own way- it has a rustic charm. The garden area is full of herbs which are used in the restaurant and our terrace was right next to it with the most wonderful aromas every day- just perfect. We travelled with family who were staying just up the road and when they found it impossible to relax at their pool, Kate welcomed them to use ours which was so needed and so kind. Thank you Kate and the team at Iokasti, we will definitely be back. Halina , Brent and Aaron x

We really enjoyed our week long stay at Villa Iokasti. It has a great location near most shops and restaurants in Koutouloufari and the beach is a 15-20 minutes walk away. Our studio room was air-conditioned, clean, comfortable and came with equipment such as clothes drying racks and cutlery. The poolside and main dining/lounge area is lovely and beautifully decorated to match the summer Mediterranean vibes. The restaurant food was delicious, as was the wine from their own vineyards. The staff are helpful and courteous and the owners very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend!
