Lavender Cove

Lavender Cove was a real treat for us on our two week trip to Greece, mainland and islands. The hotel/resort has recently renovated apartment units and pool/grounds. Our unit had a was water view and was a two bedroom with an efficiency kitchenette. The grounds were pristine and offer a short walk to a small beach. Highlights were lovely pool, great view of the harbor and village of Korfos, drinks by the pool, easy walk into the village, free bikes to use, great drop off breakfast in the morning, and Zara and Faisal who run the place were very nice, kind, personable and efficient! Thank you. One night we has a simple meal of pizza and Greek salad served on the patio above the pool, and it was a delightful evening. The pool menu is limited but fine. We cooked in one night and took advantage of all the herbs growing on the property. Also, the first restaurant on the way into the village on the water (Celana Restaurant) was excellent and our most memorable meal in 2 weeks in Greece. It's a 10 minute walk, tops. My only complaints about the hotel is our shower was very narrow and parking was tight/difficult. In terms of location, Korfos is about an hour and a half drive from Athens and about an hour and fifteen minutes to the archaeological sites in and around Nafplio (the main center in the area). While the restaurants seemed fine in Korfos for traditional Greek fare, the two supermarkets are tiny and offer very little fresh meat and vegetables. They are better for snacks and beverages. We shopped at a supermarket near Nafplio on one of our outings. Lavender Cove seemed perfect for a week or so of 'chilling' with perhaps a few day trips. If you're agenda is to hit all the ruins and old towns, it is a little out of the way. After a few busy days in noisy Athens, we appreciated the solitude and nature of Lavender Cove. Also, one night most of the other guests left for a German wedding, so we had the place to ourselves. Our own private resort. I would certainly recommend the hotel to others. Again thanks again to Zara and Faisal for all that they do.

What a wonderful stay. The bay of Korfos is very nice. The village is quite small but there are a lot of very good and typical restaurants (Celana!). Not far from very nice locations (Palaia Epidavros, Epidavros antic theater, Naplio...). Lavender cove itself: gorgious view on the ocean, full calm (end of the road). We stayed in suite olive with private pool (30 degrees!). Service is just perfect (discrete and efficient, and the breakfast delivered every morning in the room is a pleasure. We recommend 100%, especially in May/june when temperature are not too high!

Home made breakfast is amazing. Staff Faisal and his wife are very kind and thoughtful.

An absolutely perfect spot for a relaxing break with family. We can’t fault the location, accommodation and staff. Brilliant extra touches such as a fresh and substantial breakfast, use of bikes and common areas with stunning views made it all the better. Located in a lovely, quiet bay with a small selection of local restaurants to choose from. Beautiful grounds and pool, we hope to come back one day!

What an amazing place! We want to go back every year! The kids pool was so amazing. The grounds are stunning and everything about the accommodations was so perfect. Our family had the best time. The staff was also wonderful and so helpful.

We went in the off season, and it was wonderful and quiet. The owner/manager was so helpful. He had brochures of local places to visit as well as helped us rent a boat (going out of his way to do so). The made to order breakfast was more like a breakfast bar that was brought to your room each morning. It had cereal, milk, fresh orange juice, cheese, selection of fruit and butter and jams, boiled eggs, as well as some other local bakery items. The suite was so beautiful and had a great view from our terrace overlooking the pool and the sea. The local town of Korfos is quaint and lovely. There are so many good places to eat. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. I would definitely go again.

We stayed here for 5 days and can highly recommend it. The apartments are spotless, very well designed and beautiful. The view we had (see view) was amazing and a joy to look at over breakfast each day which was delivered to our table in baskets. The pool was very clean and a good temperature. The owner and staff could not be more welcoming and efficient. Would definitely stay again. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lavender Cove is an exceptional place to stay, so peaceful, a real break for the whole family. Management were so attentive, the best we have ever experienced as a family. They made us feel so very welcome, looked after us and made the children feel comfortable and confident. We really appreciated how they looked after us and went the extra mile. Perfect place to unwind free use of tennis courts, with the best view, free use of bikes for the whole family, short cycle to town. I would definitely recommend this as a family holiday destination.

Excellent and quiet location. Modern and cosy place. Good price-quality ratio. Great staff. Beautiful swimming pool (could be larger for real swimmers). Free: private beach, tennis court and all-terrain bikes. Breakfast included. For your dream family vacations.
