Arpathea Villas

My stay at the holiday place was truly disappointing and far from enjoyable. The first issue that caught my attention was the state of the swimming pools. To my dismay, they were visibly dirty and not properly maintained. It was disheartening to see the lack of attention given to such a basic amenity. Furthermore, the staff's behavior, particularly the women on the phone, was consistently rude and unhelpful. Their attitude added to the overall frustration and made it challenging to address any concerns or seek assistance during my stay. Another significant drawback was the absence of breakfast options. It was surprising and inconvenient to discover that the place did not offer any breakfast service. This meant that guests had to find alternative options outside the premises, which proved to be inconvenient since there were no nearby establishments within walking distance. Moreover, the unreliable internet connection compounded the problems. The internet would frequently go down, causing frustration and inconveniences for guests who required a stable connection for work, communication, or leisure purposes. Adding to the frustration, attempts to contact the staff to report the issue were met with unanswered phone calls and unresponsive messages. Overall, my experience at the holiday place was marred by a series of disappointments. It is essential for accommodations to prioritize cleanliness, provide attentive and respectful customer service, and fulfill basic amenities such as breakfast. It's regrettable that these aspects fell short during your stay.

"I recently stayed at Arpathea Villas, and unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience. The location is quite remote, and at night, the air is filled with eerie sounds that feel like something out of a horror movie. The pool was also dirty, which was disappointing as I was looking forward to taking a refreshing swim. Additionally, the staff was not very welcoming or accommodating, and I found them to be quite rude. Overall, I would not recommend Arpathea Villas for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay."

We had a holiday to another destination cancelled at the last minute, we chose Karpathos and Arpathea villas after some quick research, and wow it couldn't have been any better. We had suite number 1 which is the most private, stunning interior, even more stunning pool with the most amazing views. Beautiful sunsets every evening. The suites are just as good as the villas as far as i can tell. One thing we thought was missing in the kitchen was an oven and microwave, but we survived without it. The service is simple but everything you need, always cleaned very nicely, and the friendly Val is always there to help you with anything you need, and on whatsapp too! If you need 5 star luxury, you are probably on the wrong island anyway! As I said, the pool and interior really are 5 star, you would pay 10 times more for something similar in Sanotrini! Location is lovely, 5 minute drive from the nearest town where you have some grocery stores and restaurants. Well located to explore the rest of the island too. I must definitely recommend hiring a car. I've travelled a lot and this is one of my favourite places ever, simplicity and paradise!

Beautiful villa with amazing view! Comfortable bed, 2 bathrooms, nice living area and small kitchen with everything you need. And then the big terrace, with nice swimming pool, several seating areas, sunbeds and a nice breeze. The location is perfect as you are really close to Kedros restaurant and Finiki. Supermarket in Arkasa is also just a few kilometers away. Everyday cleaning, and Valanto is the nicest host. She will help you with whatever question, tips to go to and always with a big smile.

very bad terrible

We came to Arpathea with great expectations, which unfortunately were not matched by reality. I will not elaborate on the number of problems created by bad construction ( the shower leaking all over the bathroom , the thin walls making the neighbors very much present in our “villa” etc) but I will try to describe the things very much advertised and unfortunately missing completely: there was no breakfast whatsoever , due to COVID regulations we were told, after arrival . The rest of the hotels were all serving breakfast, as usual , so clearly this was just their policy, of which we would have appreciated a heads up Before Arrival! The so-called “pillows of our dreams” were so heavy and uncomfortable , most probably trying to match the mattresses. Cleanliness was also a major issue, inside the villa , as well as the pool , which we never dared to use . I have to mention the warm-hearted welcome and help that the stuff of one gave to us and we thank her for that .
