Asfendamos | House in Lepreo, West Greece

Positive: The houses are simply amazing, built in stone, with thick walls keeping the inside cool in during the warmer days. We did not have to use A/C at all (in September). All the facilities are clean. It was clean, quiet and tranquil. Great option to use the swimming pool. The houses are equipped with all that you need

Negative: I do not have any critical comments. But just a reminder that Booking.com does not handle the payment process so please read carefully all the messages sent by the hosts prior to your stay.

Positive: ​A Magical Stay at Asfendamos – Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​We had a wonderful vacation at Asfendamos and couldn't recommend it more! ​Warm Hospitality & Easy Communication: Communication with Pepi prior to our arrival was smooth and easy. Even though English isn't her native language, she made sure to welcome us in person with great warmth. Her husband, Dimitri, who runs the fantastic on-site restaurant (serving incredible quality meats!), speaks excellent English. He was always approachable, helpful, and greeted us with a smile every single day. ​The Apartment: The stone-built apartment is beautiful, set across two floors and three split levels. The main double mattress was super comfortable for sleeping. Since we visited in peak August heat and the air conditioning is located on the main floor, sleeping on the top floor wasn't ideal, but the pull-out sofa downstairs with an extra mattress provided a great and comfortable solution. The kitchen is well-equipped and very convenient. Also, after three days, delightful housekeepers arrived to refresh our towels and bed linens. ​Great Facilities: The grounds are beautifully maintained. We loved having access to the clean swimming pool, football pitch, free bicycles for guests, and secure parking behind an electric gate. ​Fantastic Location: The location is superb. The nearby village of Kakovatos is truly charming, packed with everything you need—a great bakery, local tavernas/restaurants, grocery stores, a pharmacy, and cozy cafes. ​Overall, it was a truly magical holiday experience. We would love to come back!

Negative: In the upper floor was hot. Best to put another air conditionar there

Positive: Tranquil, comfortable, pleasant & helpful staff, excellent restaurant (try the beef and veal steaks with bottle of nemea). The owner, Demetrius is a star. Will definately return.

Negative: Leaving

Positive: We had an amazing stay at this place in Greece! The house was perfectly clean and comfortable for our group of four. The owner is truly the kindest person you could ever meet — so friendly and welcoming. The area is absolutely beautiful, and the resort is wonderfully maintained with a unique, charming atmosphere. I’d recommend this place to everyone — it’s one of the most beautiful spots to relax and unwind.

Negative: -

Positive: We loved the terrace and the surroundings. A beautiful garden where we could relax and enjoy our breakfast and peaceful mornings. The hosts are maintaining the facilities and garden so nicely…. It is obvious how much love and Greek „Meraki“ is placed to establish and maintain this unique place. The lights in the house are placed with care to make it cosy. The high wooden ceiling is a relaxation plus for peaceful nights… The owner contacted us with clarity and intention making sure our stay is planned and fitting with comfort to our arrival time. Hosts are proactive and very thoughtful. The pool is very clean and the food served is excellent. From a fresh orange juice to a delicious burger made with crispy hand made potatoes all is excellent quality. We will visit again in blooming season to smell the orange and lemon blossoms!

Positive: Excellent accomodations. Spacious with all amenities. Top Starlink internet. Could watch Nova or Cosmote on tablet and smartphone. Restaurant exceptional with top notch fillet mignon or veal t-bone and other meats. Large servings very affordable prices. The wines are very good and the service overall is getting better and better. We have been going there several times in the last decade. Well done Dimitri !!!

Negative: The pool

Positive: We really enjoyed our stay at Asfendamos: Dimitris and Pepi are very friendly hosts. The houses and the garden are beautiful (stone houses, olive trees, beautiful pool). Everything is very well maintained and clean. The poolside restaurant serves excellent food and we loved tasting Dimitris' own olive oil. Asfendamos is a 10 or 15-minute walking distance from the closest beach. Kakovatos, the next village, has several restaurants and small two convenience stores. It's a perfect base to go to Olympia. Bassea (Temple of Apollo Epicurius) or further south to Pylos, but it's also a nice place to take it easy by the pool or the beach.

Positive: The accommodation and facilities there were good - swimming pool and bar as part of the complex. Quiet and peaceful whilst we were there in late September. It is surrounded by trees inside secure grounds.

Negative: Without transport it is out of the way and not very close to any amenities. With a car it is fine about 40 minutes from ancient Olympia, 10 minutes from a small town and 10 mins from a fabulously sandy beach - apparently 63 km long according to our host!
