Kerveli Village Hotel, Samos

Advantages: Hot, not too commercialised but still plenty to see and do
Disadvantages: Rubbish airport!

...before either, which kind of added to the attraction. We booked a fortnight on the small island of Samos. You may not have heard of it so here's a bit of general info. Samos is an island in the Aegean sea. It's the nearest of the Greek Islands to Turkey - as litle as 1500metres away at it's nearest point. Like almost all of the Greek islands it's fairly steeped in history - in fact the mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras (you must remember him from Maths lessons, right?!?) was supposed to have lived there. The island has a number of villages and towns dotted around its coastline ranging from tiny fishing hamlets to well-developed, busy towns. Most of the beaches are shingle rather than sand. Away from the coastal areas, inland is almost another world - the terrain rises quite sharply and there's a number of fairly high peaks, I... Read review

Advantages: Friendly staff, Fantastic views, Great Atmosphere, Good Restaurant
Disadvantages: Top of a VERY steep hill (but taxis cheap)

The hotel is family run and has a very good atmosphere. Breakfast is the usual continental buffet, with seating... Read review

A quick search on the internet showed me that The De Vere Village Hotel and Leisure Centre was only five miles from the village of Walton and the crematorium. As we spent a leisure break at a De Vere Group hotel in May, and liked the standard of the accommodation offered, I made a reservation for Bed and Breakfast in a twin room at The Village Hotel. °º••º°"˜¨¨˜"°º••º°"˜¨¨˜"°º••º°"˜¨¨¨˜"°º••º°"˜¨¨¨˜"°º On arrival we parked our car in the hotel's large car park, gathered our baggage and headed towards the hotel lobby and reception where we were greeted by a rather nice smiling young lady who swiftly checked us in. She swiped my credit... Read review
