Gavdos Pyrgos beach Hotels

"A lovely house which has two separate apartments. It worked well for us. Walking to a beach and a taverna each day was perfect. The pool was deep - all the women were out of their depth! The shaded area was lovely and the area is very quiet. We loved this place!"

"I had a lovely stay here and would come again. I will say that while the property is clean and the staff take care of it, it does need a little lick of paint here and there but overall it is a beautiful location and a true place to relax and recoup. I was disappointed that there wasn't yoga classes as posted, but I was able to book a private class with a teacher, who was great. Booked with their masseuse a few times as she was WONDERFUL (Rose if I remember rightly) Handy swimming pool right outside my room (salt). And a little general store on site which after realizing that Plakias is a 15min drive away, was good to have on hand. Scuba diving in the cove was gorgeous and there was a little spot you could jump straight into the ocean near the main pool. The cove is not the beach however, the walk to the beach is about 20 minutes and up some very steep stairs. The view is amazing, but I'd recommend wearing solid walking shoes as there is loose gravel/rocks and the drop to the ocean is sheer. The entertainment was mediocre to be honest, and the location would benefit from a karaoke night in my opinion. All-inclusive does not include all drinks, beer and wine only. But the food was decent enough to not bother going into the town except for a treat. Great nudist beach nearby in Plakias, with regular beach down the road. Lovely little town. "

"Villa Spiros is one of three lovely villas around a 5 minute drive to Frangokastelo. The local beach is a beautiful, natural one with knarled trees under which you can shade from the sun. It’s a 5 minute stroll from the villa and a wonderful place to see the sunset. The swimming pool was clean and a perfect cooling off temperature. The villa is the closest to the mountains of the three and views of the mountains are fabulous. Sea views are also beautiful. The village of Frango Kastelo is spread out over a mile or so but well served with 3 supermarkets, bakeries, tavernas and beaches. The house was beautifully clean and we were left some wine and local treats. The air conditioning works well and we were kept cool at night which was lovely. We were 5 - so used the sofa bed in the lounge which is a wide single size sofa bed. Our stay was wonderful, and we would definitely recommend Spiros Villa, but there are a couple of things that would improve this lovely house - Unfortunately, the mattresses are a little dated now and sadly not the most comfortable. Perhaps some good mattress toppers would be enough to alleviate the problem for the time being? The only table outside is a small coffee table. The patio and garden is quite large and there’s plenty of space to eat outside so it’s a shame there isn’t a take and chairs to use outside for eating. It would be great if local agents could pass these comments on to the owners for the benefit of other visitors. 😃 Thank you"

"What a BEAUTIFUL place! We stayed in a suite room with the most incredible sea view, I want to wake up there every day! The staff were all incredibly friendly, Yiannis (1&2), Maria and Andreas in particular were amazing! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a welcome drink and helped with sorting parking and luggage. Our room was gorgeous, a small living area with sofa/single bed, fridge and dressing table, then a small bathroom and then beautiful bedroom with balcony over looking the harbous and small beach, we could have spent hours watching the boats going in and out. The food in the hotel is amazing and the coffee and cocktails fantastic (Andreas makes a mean coffee and even meaner cocktail!) In a three week trip this was our favourite spot and we are already planning a return! We took the small ferry from the harbour outside the hotel (not the main port) for the day to Loutros and sweet water which was incredible! Would recommend avoiding the weekends for this though as it was very busy! Really wish we had had longer here."
