Georgia Studios

Georgia Studios

10/10 Excellent
"A spacious studio overlooking a beautiful garden. The whole place - inside and outside - was kept spotlessly clean and tidy by a lovely lady called Tatiana. The location is perfect. The surroudings are quiet but it takes only a couple of minutes to walk to the cafes and shops and just slightly longer to walk to the port. The only slight negative is the rather unreliable wifi."

"The property location was literally on the beach and basically right in the main chora. It was steps to Kyma and Sorokos which were both amazing spots for food and drinks. The staff were so friendly. Thank you to Andreas for being so welcoming and accommodating. The only thing is there were some people smoking in their rooms or around the property so this can be a deal breaker for many."

"Fantastic hostess at the front desk. Extremely helpful , friendly and accomodating to her guests. The hotel is one block away from the metro, making it easy to access all the suburbs of Athens and the airport. The hotel is walking distance to the harbour and countless cafes, eateries and roof top bars. The hotel is very well situated in Pireaus.🙂❤️"

"We had a fantastic four night stay in one of the ground floor rooms around the pool. the rooms were very comfortable and clean and the outside area by the pool was perfect for us. The pool and surrounding area was lovely and it was never too busy. The employees at the hotel were all kind and helpful. We really appreciated the transfer to and from the port but it was easily walking distance if you don't have your suitcases with you and it was also a short walk to the supermarket and into the town. The location is great and the views are wonderful."

"Excellent location and value right on the beach. It is very family orientated with a pool, playground and treehouse for children. The room was simple but comfortable. I was there solo and found it convenient for surrounding hiking trails and was easy to walk to main promenade for restaurants, etc. The only negative was the noise from room, I could hear absolutely everything from neighbouring rooms like snoring, talking etc as if they were in the room with me. I had to sleep with noise cancelling headphones each night."

2 luxury villas complex with private pool, gym,spa & unrivalled view

10/10 Excellent
"Our week at the twin villas on Koufonisia was exceptional.Koufonisia is wonderfully laid-back and still somewhat undiscovered. This Greek island gem features lively restaurants, charming cafes, lovely shops, and some of the most stunning beaches we've ever seen. We also fell in love with nearby Kato Koufonisi. Perched on the main road with truly magnificent views, the villas are nothing short of spectacular. With four bedrooms in each villa plus three extra twin beds, our group of 19 adults slept comfortably with plenty of room. The common areas are extraordinary: multiple luxury indoor and outdoor lounging zones, elegant dining areas, a beautiful pool complex, a dedicated yoga studio, a soccer and volleyball court, a pétanque terrain, hammams (an absolute hit after long hike and beach days), jacuzzis, saunas, and a world-class sound system. Every detail has been considered.The owner sets the tone from the moment you arrive. His welcome and safety briefing is world-class (complete with Rakomelo, the famous Greek aperitif), and his seamless logistics operation, including full arrival and departure coordination from the ferry, a nine-seater van, and a four-seater car. The wonderful staff, Fofi and Achilles, made each day feel memorable.We were blessed to host our daughter's wedding ceremony at the beautiful church on Kato Koufonisi, followed by a reception at the villas.We recommend the twin villas and Koufonisia without reservation. You will not be disappointed."
