Petrino Eco Village

Lovely 2 weeks at the Petrino Suites. Loved the stone apartments, set in garden surroundings. Stairs were very steep in room 115, but it was kept exceptionally clean by Vicky, who was a joy and was well maintained. No hook in the shower, so had to be held. Sold by TUI as self catering but had no cooking facilities, just sink, fridge, kettle and plates, cutlery etc. No bowls, but borrowed some from the staff in breakfast room. Lovely private terrace at the back. Air conditioning and safe were included in price. Pool area was very relaxed and we were very well looked after by lovely Efrosini, who worked exceptionally hard serving drinks and food in the afternoon/evenings, nothing was too much trouble. Bar prices were on the high side 9E for a short, 7E a pint, 5E for soft drink. Food was very tasty and well presented. Bottom of pool is stone and hurt your feet when using the steps, but was very clean and lovely to swim in. A few more sunbeds could have been provided, but most days we found an empty one and there was plenty of other seating areas in the shade. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. We loved watching the barn swallows nesting and fledging above the bar and in other areas around the complex, Afytos is 20 mins walk down the left hand fork opposite the hotel and is an amazing place. Full of tavernas and shops, but very busy 7.30 onwards and people were queuing for dinner tables. The beach is a further 20 mins walk down a steep hill. TUI advertised nearest beach as 20 mins, but it is nearer 40 and all uphill on the way back. Sandy with warm, shallow water it is very popular, but some areas of the sea was very rocky. Sun bed prices were extortionate 30-60E, but plenty of space for beach umbrellas.

Lovely beautiful hotel but not quite 4 star for me having had this holiday booked for over a year as upon arrival only to find out our booked accommodation wasn't going to be ready till the next day they said due to a technical reason so was provided with another room for the night. I found this inconvenient having to try to unpack then having to repack and move again as we were only staying for a well deserved weeks rest . The 2cd room was lovely but had a steep staircase so as two women trying to lug your suitcase up them quite dangerous and so again inconvenient as had to un pack downstairs and carry clothes up other than this had a lovely stay the massage lady was excellent well worth it and breakfast good selection and nice setting good customer service from most

Breakfast here deserves its own review! Freshly baked pies, thick creamy yogurt, honey from nearby hives, and a rotation of handmade pastries each morning—it was a feast. We ended up waking up earlier just to enjoy it slowly. The presentation was beautiful and everything tasted like it was made with care. One morning they even had homemade fig jam that I still dream about. Coffee was strong and flavorful too. It felt more like a homemade brunch at a Greek grandma’s than a hotel buffet.

We had an amazing stay at Petrino, filled with joy, calmness and beautiful nature, peaceful sounds, friendly staff. Special thanks to Georgia for perfect massage! One of the best massages I have ever had!

We spent 11 nights at Petrino in late May. The pool area & gardens are beautiful, although the pool was very noisy. It felt like it was more for familys than couples. The food we had by the pool was lovely & the staff were very friendly. The rooms are really quite dated though & not 4 star in my opinion. We had problems with hot water on a few days & very steep stairs up to the bedroom. We had booked through TUI & it was advertised as self catering. All we had in our apartment was a kettle, mini fridge, tea cups & water glasses. No cutlery plates/ bowls. The village of Afytos was lovely & very traditional, the beach was also beautiful & peaceful. In all we were a bit disappointed with the accommodation, it didn’t feel like it warranted the extra 10euros a night tax that you have to pay for a 4 star hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay at Petrino Eco Village. The stone-built cottages feel like part of the landscape, with a warm, rustic style that’s full of character. We enjoyed slow mornings with birdsong and fresh breakfast under the trees, then lounged by the serene pool or took the shuttle to their private beach. It was the perfect place to disconnect and breathe.
