Xirokastello Holidays

Room was clean and cleaned daily. Staff were very helpful.

No front desk staff during early hours, we called many times to the front desk no one picked up. Staff entered our room without knocking... They don't provide any adaptors which is disappointing given this is a 5-star property.

Our hosts Dionisis and his wife Aggeliki were wonderful. They greated us warmly on arrival and upgraded our room with a sea view without any extra cost when we checked in which was a lovely surprise and also gave my partner a huge birthday cake on our second day when they heard it was her birthday. They also gave us some gifts on leaving to remember our stay with them. The perfect hosts. Dionisis has made his own map of the island which you can have a copy of, indicating various day trips and the best sites to visit on each day trip and even a discounted boat trip to visit the blue caves and shipwreck beach (if you say you are staying at the Belussi beach hotel) Our room was large and clean with a lovely sea view from the balcony. The staff were all so friendly throughout our stay and we had some lovely chats with them when they were on and off duty. Every one of the staff were friendly from the cleaners to the restaurant and bar staff. I highly recommend you hire a car for the duration of your stay. There are three local restaurants within 5 mins walk if you wish to walk to dine out away from the hotel and a supermarket is a ten minute walk through an olive tree lined road. But if you want to explore the island properly and explore what it has to offer you need some transport. You can use a taxi or a bus to explore but this would really limit what you can see. The hotel has everything you need to enjoy swimming in the sea and days around the pool. The breakfasts superb.

The Belvedere Gerakas Hotel was wonderful to stay in. It was our second stay at this hotel and our third to the island. We love the location of the hotel. It’s set in a quiet location surrounded by gardens and farmland but also within walking distance of the most beautiful beaches. My partner and I love the beaches so don’t spend much time at the pool. However, we did use the pool a lot this year, as the weather was very hot and the clean, heated pool was a wonderful relief from the heat. There was always a wide selection of food and drink available for breakfast and all to a very high standard. The hospitality was also at a very high standard. All the staff were very friendly and were there if we ever needed advice or help. We would not hesitate to return again.

Beautiful view from the large pool, plenty of sun loungers.. Everywhere was nice and clean and the staff were very helpful.
