Overall Ratings & Reviews Viva Mare Hotel

This is the second year we have stayed at the lovely Viva Mare, we have already booked again for next year. This little gem of a hotel is amazing and you will not be disappointed. The welcome you get from Chrissa, Maria and the team is wonderful, they are always on hand and can help you with any questions you may have, booking trips and restaurants. The hotel is very clean and all the rooms are spacious, cleaned every day and well equipped with cooking facilities (microwave, hob and fridge freezer) if you wish to eat in. Breakfast is varied and top quality. The pool is a good size with a poolside bar for drinks and snacks. There are plenty of sunbeds and seating areas around the poolside. It is child friendly with various pool toys available and a shallow area. It is a ten minute downhill walk into town (the walk back up to the hotel is quite steep and not suitable if you any mobility issues). In the town you will find plenty of restaurants, boutique style shops, beach bars and you can hire sunbeds on the beach. You could either take a boat trip around the coast or hire your own small boat. If you choose to hire a car the villages nearby also have some lovely restaurants. Highly recommend.

Excellent accommodation in a beautifully clean complex. Rooms cleaned to an immaculate standard: clean bedding and towels every day. Breakfast is simple but fresh local produce. Swimming pool is perfect. A quiet time is observed between 14.30 - 17.30 though you can still swim. We found most families headed for the beach and returned early evening for a sunset swim. Perfect. The staff are amazing- the cleaners clean everything including shutters, windows, everything! Special mention to Alex as nothing is too much trouble and also to Chrissy who is so friendly and helpful. To summarise this place is perfect.

Viva Mare is a gem. Beautiful apartments, well appointed, with both a pool and easy access to the beach, shops dining. Alexandros, one of the owners went to exceptional efforts to help resolve a problem I had accessing some Greek services. Many thanks!

Great property. I would recommend for families

Great looking property, pool is excellent. Front counter staff speak excellent English and are very informative. Even made dinner reservations for us at a very good and popular restaurant. 5 min walk to beach and restaurants.

What a delightful hotel! Wonderful Greek experience, wish we’d discovered it earlier in our travels through Peloponnese. Definitely in our plans on return trip for a longer stay. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Lovely hotel, very clean with beautiful views of the village. Staff extremely friendly and helpful

Wonderful hotel - so bright, clean and beautiful! Amazing service - friendly and helpful. We can’t believe how lucky we were to find this gem. Easy 2 minute walk to beach and lovely village. We will be back!

Superb customer service - so friendly and helpful. The hotel is kept impeccably clean. Breakfast (delivered to room - order day before) is excellent, especially the homemade pies and cakes! Location is overlooking the town (<5 minute walk away) with wonderful views.

Beautiful hotel, lovely seaview from the room/balcony. Stunning pool, very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely rooms, very clean and great standards. Quiet location but only 5mins walk to the beach. We had the most relaxing and wonderful holiday!

Great place, great people, very friendly, unique rooms

Loved it. Can't wait to go back. Fantastic place - lovely and clean. Pool is fab.

Very warm welcome plus a bottle of fizz as it was our ruby wedding anniversary! Perfect spacious accomodation and friendly staff especially Eleanor

A very clean and picturesque hotel, with lovely swimming pool and accommodating staff.

Lovely apartment, great breakfast, nice pool. Everyone was really friendly. Short walk to the beach and shops and restaurants. We had a great time.

Everything was excellent at Viva Mare.

Very spacious studios, enormous comfortable bed, great views of the sea and town. We were at the top and the only ones with a balcony on both sides by luck. Vast choice at breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely pool, very rarely used by anyone. Definitely the best hotel in town!

In all of our travels we have rarely encountered an accommodation as nice as this one. While not a large property, it meets or rivals much larger Greek accommodations when it comes to management, decor, cleanliness, beauty and can-do, positive attitude of its staff. There is really not enough that is positive that we can say about the Viva Mare. They’ve been attentive to every detail when it come to decor – rivaling places in legendary places like Mykonos and Santorini. Their pool is beautiful and there’s an enchanting beach right below the hotel. The landscaping is impeccable and simply must be seen for its attentiveness to detail. Perhaps the only area where Viva Mare needs improvement is expanding its parking, though we had no problem in parking our car. The breakfast room is enchanting and pleasant and the choice of breakfast fare should satisfy any and all comers. We plan to return to the area for the simple reason that, this time, we wish to reserve an entire week to relax amidst the charms of this place. Would that all Hellenic hotelier emulated the owners and staff of this little oasis in the Southern Peloponnesos.

This place is a gem. We had been travelling for Europe for 2 months and this was without a doubt the best place we had stayed in. The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff were fantastic and the included breakfast was awesome. The pool was great. It was a short walk to the main shopping/dining area and the beach. We wanted an authentic Greek experience and we weren't disappointed. The streets come alive at night. What an awesome experience we had in this town. We wished we had stayed longer but at this moment we are planning a return visit. I would thoroughly recommend this place!
