Wonderful flat but quite disappointing experience

Yes, the flat and location are great. Very modern and clean. Recently renovated - I was here in 2020 and it really needed a refurbishment - the flat is in a wonderful location. I would have assigned 5 stars - no doubt - except that we booked for 7 nights but the host completely forgot about our booking and I have to call him up the day before to ask for indications such as where to find the keys. And he was even surprised to hear from me. The next day we reached Assos at 9.30 am and kept patiently waiting for when the flat was empty (around midday I hoped). However, at noon we realized the people in the flat were not going to leave anytime shortly. So I called the host in the UK and he apologized that the flat was occupied for ANOTHER DAY and we had to take another flat (called Pefkos) for one night. He also said he was going to pay back one night for the disguise and because the other flat was clearly less expensive. I patiently accepted this solution (did I have any other choice?) and moved to the other flat. The next day we have to wait the entire morning (again) to get Vicky’s View free and finally move there. This was a big waste of our holiday time and at the end the host Charlie Menegatos didn’t honored the promise to pay back the one night we lost. So the overall experience was quite disappointing and I am going to protest with VRBO about this misconduct of overbooking the flat. So if you plan booking it: good luck with the reliability!

Amazing location, fabulous apartment

The 3 bedroom apartment has had a complete make over and is absolutely stunning. It is now contemporary and modern with the highest quality furniture and fixtures. The lighting fixtures are show pieces in themselves! Everything was brand new and no expense has been spared. The master bedroom now has an en-suite which we weren’t expecting and there is also a washing machine. Apart from the amazing interior, the view from the balcony of the beach and Assos village is awesome. From watching the leisure boats in the bay to the views of the castle was a constant delight. The balcony is only small but we managed to seat all 4 of us with a little shuffle of chairs. The separate covered terrace is a nice place to sit when it became too hot in the sun. The location of this apartment is ideal - only an easy two minute walk to the tavernas and small shops. Nick - the owner lives below and was lovely and very welcoming and helpful. Thank you soo much for a wonderful holiday experience.

Great location, but terrible check in experience

The property was as described and in a great location in a great village. Charlie communicated the check-in information and confirmed the morning of check-in. However, after driving from the airport we were led on a wild goose chase to find Apolonia. I was certain we were in the correct location, but was told by a couple in the unit that we were downstairs. After trying every door downstairs, a woman from next door came over and explained that she had let another couple, who was checking out, hang out in our apartment until we got there. This includes taking showers and using the rooms. The couple were lovely people, but in COVID times, COVID precautions were not met. The couple called a cab and left and the next door neighbor said she didn’t have us down for a reservation. I contacted Charlie about the cleanliness/COVID issue and the check-in debacle with no response. I only received a “please check out at 11:00” email. The apartment itself has a very uncomfortable couch and relatively hard beds. The bathroom has a drain in the floor that floods the entire bathroom when you shower. The bathroom was not clean when we arrived, we cleaned it ourselves. If you want to stay in Assos, I’d recommend somewhere else.

Beautiful location overlooking picturesque bay

The location of Apollonia was perfect for early morning swims around the bay, proximity to (pebbly) beach (sunbeds a must) and beautiful walks up and around the castle and its environs, and up above the back of Assos. We barely noticed the influx of day visitors who arrive (seemingly by car or coach – the only real ways in or out) for short visits and leave by late afternoon; the three delicious local restaurants were never overly busy in the evenings. We frequently cooked at home, all necessary kitchen equipment being provided and the back terrace being perfect for at least six people to eat outside. Air con in the two bedrooms was much appreciated and needed. Any previous mattress issues in the main bedroom seem to have been resolved – we slept really well. Linen quality and frequency of change was perfect, and our housekeeper, Antonia, was super friendly and helpful. The owner responded very quickly to minor and major problems with the electricity supply, and moved us to one of her other (also lovely) properties for our last night. We would love to return to Assos and one of Vicky’s properties – a fabulous 11 night stay - wish it could have been longer.

Great terrace and views

We spotted Apollonia when we visited last year and were pleased to secure a booking for our return trip. We were a party of three ladies looking to have a chilled week of sunshine and good food and Apollonia was the ideal base for us. The apartment is a great size and we were all able to have our own space but one of the best things for us was the spacious terrace where we enjoyed breakfast and lunch daily and when the weather wasn’t so kind a sheltered place to enjoy a book. Special mention must be given to the housekeeper (sorry we didn’t catch your name) who was incredible, she gave us a great welcome and looked after us so well, she even brought some lilos down to the beach for us, so thank you so much, hope we can return again in future years.

Loved it

Overall the accommodation and Assos itself were wonderful. Sitting on the balcony listening to the sea lapping on to the small beach was so peaceful. Opening the shutters to the sunshine each morning was a joy. I would say that the bed in the main bedroom could be better (didn’t do wonders for my back) and the kitchen equipment could do with an overhaul/review but these aren’t major, Would (and will definitely go back

Perfect Location with wonderful views

Our second visit to Apollonia which is in an absolutely fabulous position with views over Assos, the Venetian Castle, harbour and beach. The garden area is a bonus and is secluded perfect for relaxing.The restaurants are good and the small Supermarket is useful. The apartment was very clean and well equipped and the lady who looks after the apartment was very friendly and helpful. We were surprised to receive an Easter gift from her on Easter Sunday which was lovely. We have fallen in love with Assosand plan to return in the future. Hopefully extending our visit to longer than 3 nights.

Fabulous views in a superb location. Very well appointed with everything we needed and more.

The apartment was spotless and very well equipped for our stay. Views were amazing and location perfect. The owner was most helpful and we would love to revisit in the future. It was also nice to arrive at our destination with water and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Thank you. Beds were extremely comfortable ensuring a perfect nights sleep. We would thoroughly recommend.
