Sun, sea, sand and scenery, Paleokastritsa has it all. At the heart of its natural beauty can be found several picturesque bays with turquoise waters, which are ideal for swimming, snorkeling and water sports. The resort is backed by sheer cliffs of olive groves and cypress trees, and as such the terrain is ideal for individuals with interests in painting, photography, walking and hiking. The resort hosts a wide range of amenities for the young and old alike and has a fine selection of swimming pools, restaurants and bars. Next to the main beach a road leads up to the world famous monastery, built on top of a cliff in a most idyllic setting. Visitors both foreign and local come to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the scenery each year. Paleokastritsa has its own small harbour, this picturesque spot has a relaxed atmosphere where it is possible to hire day boats to visit nearby secluded beaches inaccessible by land, board one of the glass bottom boats or just go fishing!

Elysium 5* getaway.

Nathan-James England
Review Submitted: October 5, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This really was a 5 star holiday right from the start. The airport pick up was invaluable and instantly took away the stress of finding your own way.
The luxury apartment was fully kitted out. We had everything we needed and more. The build quality, and the furnishings were second to none. This place has the perfect combination of an authentic Greek look and feel, with a British build quality and finish. Gemma and Dez have worked incredibly hard to expel the normal experiences I had come to expect from the average holiday ( I.e poor showers, faulty hardware, and overdue maintenance! ). The Bathroom was better than most back home, everything worked as it should, and I didn't see a single thing out of place the whole time I was there!
The view was incredibly impressive, and as nice as the pictures look on the website, they don't do it justice.
Gemma and Dez were always on hand and made it their mission to please, in a chilled and non-intrusive way. If only everyone put that kind of effort in to customer service!
I would recommend the Elysium to anyone and everyone. Seriously, stop your searching and just book it!

Toller Urlaub mit kleiner Familie

Kleinfamilie aus Süddeutschland Stuttgart
Review Submitted: October 29, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Unsere Familie (2 Erwachsene, 1 2-jähriges Kind) hat Anfang Oktober 2009 10 wunderschöne Tage im Elysium Appartment verbracht. Wir können diese Fewo uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und haben das auch schon getan. Die Vermieter,Gemma und Des, sind hervorragende, kinderliebe Gastgeber, die alles daür tun, dass Ihre Gäste einen gelungenen Urlaub zu verbringen.

Hier noch einige Details, die evtl. nützlich sein könnten.
Das Appartment: Die Fewo besteht aus Wohnzimmer, Schlafzimmer und Bad. Die Küchenzeile kann durch einen Vorhang abgetrennt werden. Alle notwendigen Utensilien sind vorhanden, die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll. Es gibt kein deutsches Fernsehen, aber mehrere DVDs. Wer unbedingt den Kontakt zur Heimat braucht, sollte sein Laptop mitbringen und das WLAN nutzen. Begeistert hat uns der Blick von der Frühstücksterrasse und dem kleinen Garten auf das Meer. Wir bewohnten das EG, im 1. Stock befinden sich noch drei weitere, kleinere Wohnungen.
Paleokastritsa: Ein größerer Supermarkt ist ca. 10 min Fußminuten entfernt. Busse fahren regelmäßig in die Hauptstadt. Den Strand und mehrere öffentliche Swimming pools erreicht man in ca. 5 Minuten. Der Ort selbst zieht sich geschätzte 4 Kilometer an der Küste entlang, bietet noch einen weiteren Strand, einen schönen Hafen und als Sehenswürdigkeit das Kloster. Wer es etwas ursprünglicher mag, findet wenige Kilometer im Hinterland in Doukades nette Tavernen.

HALF-TERM TONIC

ROSIE SMITH ASHFORD
Review Submitted: October 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We have just returned from a week at the Elysium Apartment, and would endorse everything that has been said in other reviews. Gemma and Des did all they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible, greeting us at the appartment, helping us settle in with the very well thought out welcome pack, and throughout our stay with advice and suggestions.
The appartment is splendidly kitted out, very spacious, immaculately clean and well-appointed. The views are exactly as on the website ,if not even better in the flesh,and a tonic to wake up to and come back to after a day out.
We were unlucky enough to suffer the heaviest rain EVER......13cm in 43 hours of virtually non-stop deluge, but even so Gemma and Des were on hand to make sure we were OK. All of this as they were in the process of moving appartments themselves made it all the more remarkable. They put their guests first.
The out of the way beaches were splendid and the sea crystal clear and beautiful to swim in even in late October. We were greeted at restaurants as valued customers and offered extras on the house in most, with a cheery smile and courtesy.

I can thoroughly recommend staying at Gemma and Des' beautiful appartment, but do make sure you get fit first as the driveway and 80 (yes,80 )steps to get up to the appartment will take its toll. After 3 days we were as fit as fiddles!! The view is WELL worth the climb.
Thank you Gemma and Des for everything.

The Perfect Holiday

Pete. Leicester,England.
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The apartment really is home from home everything you need for the most relaxing of holidays.We could not fault the property it simply had that five star feeling.The fitted kitchen was exceptional and although we did not spend alot of time cooking the facilities were first class.Our hosts kept the apartment spotless,it is well maintained and the garden area , especially the view ,have to be seen.
Des and Gemma,our hosts, felt like one of the family and their hard work and customer care deserves the highest praise.The local tavernas,all within walking distance, served super food,Spiros,Oasis ,and The Greek Way were our favorites .There are a few supermarkets nearby which are fairly well stocked and all the swimming pools are open to the public.The walk from one end of the village to the other is a must do, ending up at the small monastry,it does get a little crowded but the flowers and views are beautiful.We did not hire a car,everything is really so near by;we only wanted a lazy holiday;but maybe next time ,a car for perhaps a couple of days would enable us to see some of the neighbouring small villages which are mentioned in an information folder inside the apartment.My wife and I have visited several of the Greek islands and must rate this apartment,the food,our hosts,the weather and without a doubt the location as the best. We have already recommended this property to friends and hope to return It was, for my wife and I, The Perfect Holiday.

Luxury ground floor apartment

corfu4us Hazel Grove,Cheshire
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
"We stayed in the Elysium Luxury apartment.It was absolutely beautiful
with everything you needed to make your stay more enjoyable,it even had a quiet fridge! The apartment is on an elevated position with stunning views of the sea,a small beach and vast amounts of greenery.Des and Gemma, the owners,were fantastic hosts and are on hand everyday tending to the three apartments,the grounds and their guests.There isn't a poolat the property but that isn't a problem as you can use all the pools and sunbeds in the area free of charge.There is a wonderful Taverna near the apartments called "Spiros Taverna",which serves fantastic authentic Greek food.We became regulars here and got to know the very friendly staff.We had a most enjoyable time here and would recommend the luxury apartment to anyone wishing for a holiday in Paleokastritsa."
