Villa Constantsia  |  House in Kato Assos

My stay was wonderful because the couple running this place make you feel at home. Constantina was a real and kind lady:)

Arrived in old city at address on map. It was not the right hotel, and the owners son guided us up a mountain on his bike, but they failed to tell us that they own three hotels in the town. It was a horrible filthy place, until we got to the top of the hill, where we were led through a tunnel (frightening) to the hotel on the side of a hill, overlooking the harbour. It was breathtaking, but we werent forewarned, so we were initially upset and caused a bit of a fuss. If it had been explained, we would have been OK, so travellers need to be forewarned. We had to carry our bags 80 metres over a cobbled very rough walkway, which was also a negative for our expensive bags. The hotel was brilliant, which made up for it, but you need to be ready for the treck!

This hotel has beautiful views and the room is quite spacious. On street parking. There is a small grocery store right down the road and excellent restaurants not too far away. The archaelogical site of Corinth sits between this hotel and Corinth proper. It was a little tricky to find, but the owner and his wife are delightful and gracious.

We stayed here for a week while visiting the ancient sites of the northern Peleponese. It was a great base for touring and the room was comfortable with a view of the sea only metres away from our balcony. Breakfast was rather basic but served when we wanted it and we had plenty of hot water for our shower. Bathroom small but everything worked ok. Hosts very welcoming and friendly speaking excellent English.

My fiancee and I stayed at Villa Constantsia the first of seven nights we were in Greece, and it was the surprise of the trip. We wish we had stayed two or three nights. The accommodations were roomy and more than we could have hoped for, the owner and his wife spoke flawless English (and, incidentally, Afrikaans), and they were extremely helpful in planning the rest of our trip and in suggesting a great restaurant for that night (Elia, which was amazing). This was the best of four hotels we stayed at in Greece, one of which is a four star place in Athens. Highly recommended.

Villa Constantsia comprises furnished apartments rather than being a hotel per se. It is a little hard to find but the site is right next to the water so you can walk/jog by the Gulf, which is very pleasant. The location was handy for me (I was using it as a base for visiting the nearby Ancient Greek sites) but is some way out of Corinth itself. The staff who I assumed were the owners spoke excellent English and happily put on breakfast earlier for me. The room was very clean and comfortable. The only drawbacks would be you dont get some standard hotel features like wi-fi or shampoo but for €30 it was good value.

The staff of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Home cooked traditional greek breakfast. Beach 50 metres from hotel. Quiet location. Quite a distance from town and shops. Handy as a base for exploring the area.
