Anassa Mare Villas & Residences

The villa was right on the water, with beautiful views of the turquoise water. There was even a beach bar just below. The villa had loads of places to lounge and have fun a, comfortable, clean beds and an en-suite in each bedroom. Olga was a wonderful host and made us feel very comfortable and looked after. We were a group of 3 families staying in the 5 bed villa and it worked very well for us all! It’s only a short drive to Gaios and the other towns for dinner. There’s even a hot tub on the balcony! We would love to return.

Our trip was 3rd - 10th June. The villa was located just above a small pebbly beach, which had sunbeds (if you wanted them @ 10 euros each) and a snack bar. I would recommend to take water/beach shoes if you intend to go into the water, but not absolutely necessary. Our villa was the highest of the 3, but the walk down was very short either down some 'secret' steps or down the sloping road way. The point of having a villa was to spend most days around the pool and not needing to go anywhere if we didn't fancy it. The villa was a short taxi ride away from Gaios. You could walk it if you had appropriate footwear (for something to do one day), but I don't think you'd want to be walking for a night out. There were 7 of us, so we ordered a minibus taxi which cost 15 euros each way. The port is closer to the villa than Gaios itself, but again, you wouldn't want to walk with luggage etc. The villa was very clean and well equipped (if you want to self-cater at any point). Olga and her team looked after us exceptionally well and nothing was too much trouble. We had a problem with one of the showers and it was fixed almost immediately. We were recommended a boat trip (Sebastian - but the Greek version), which only takes 20 minutes. It is skippered by Yiannis and it was a fantastic day out. Excellent food and service and you're taken to a couple of spots which the larger boats don't go to. I'd recommend taking a taxi to Lakka, which is also beautiful. It's a very small town and the beach is a short walk along a rough path. There is a taverna behind the beach and again has sunbeds if you want them.

Nice apartment with great view! It was clean, spacious, bottle of view was waiting on us in the fridge. Apartment had also a jacuzzi which was great for relaxing in the evening. Public beach with the bar (not part of the Annasa Mare) was right accross the street, not even a minute walk to it. Host Olga was very polite and extremely helpful, she was proactively communicating with us about not only about the accomodation, but also everything else we needed to know on the island. She also organized the transport form and to the port, scooter and the boat during out stay which saved us time to search for the offers.

I stayed at this hotel with my family, and I can say it deserves at least a 10! Everything exceeded our expectations, from the view and room facilities to the staff, especially Olga, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She even offered us an upgrade so our kids could enjoy the pool. We will definitely return or at least warmly recommend this hotel!

Couldn’t fault it. View was 10/10, fully equipped with everything you need, comfy beds, plenty of space and clean. Made it hard to leave. The manager Olga went above and beyond to make us comfortable, giving us all the recommendations and helped us out get around the island. She made the trip even more fantastic! Thank you Olga!
