Ippoliti Village in Hersonissos

This was a great hotel, visit and owner. The only reason I didn’t give it excellent was that the WiFi was weak and spotty. This was a benefit to me as I was there to unplug and relax but it may be an issue for others.
It was a great stay, just what I needed.
Again very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you

Me and my partner stayed at Ippoliti in September 25. Lena and her family were very welcoming and we felt right at home. We were worried about some of the previous reviews complaining about paying for air con, but soon noticed this is common across the majority of self-catering apartments in Koutouloufari. And yes, it was also basic, but it felt authentically Greek, if you want luxury, pay extra for a hotel. Only comments for recommendations I would add is that it would have been nice for clean towels every other day, there wasn’t a real rota for this, 3 days had passed at one point. It would also be nice to have a “do not disturb” sign for the door, I’d often get woken up by the cleaner against my will, even if it was to shout not to come in. And comments on loo roll - if you ask Lena, she will give you some toilet roll. It would be a nice touch for some soap but it’s no big deal, there is a shop that sells stuff like that pretty cheap just down the road. The pool and sun bed area was pristine, and there was never any battle for getting a space. Overall, for what you pay, and the style of the apartments, I think it’s great value for money and I would return!

Ippoliti village is a brilliant place to stay for families, couples of even groups of friends wanting to explore the charming village of Koutouloufari and surrounding areas. I’ll break this down into sections to give an overview of why this place was great for me & my girlfriend. 1. Location The apartments are located approx 5 minute walk from the heart of Koutouloufari. It’s a 30 minute walk downhill to the beach, which looks more of a classic Benidorm-esque vibe. Koutouloufari village is full of excellent bars and restaurants, and some good shops too. There are so many good places to try that we barely scratched the surface in a week’s stay, and there is also the village of Piskopiano just next to it. Loads of cute cats about but they don’t bother you unless you’re offering food (in case you’re weird & don’t like cats). The area is not far from Heraklion airport by car so transfers take only about 40 minutes and that’s with picking other travellers up too. Personally, I wouldn’t fancy driving around there as the roads are so narrow, some steep, and people drive a bit erratically over there. There’s parking right by apartments though if you need to. 2. Accommodation - Great. Classic Mediterranean style, not the modern soulless design that most modern hotels opt for now. Lots of steps, if you have mobility issues it may be worth requesting specific rooms with less stairs, some have only a few and others have a lot. We booked a ‘triple superior maisonette (sea view)’, which has the most steps in the complex but the trade off is an incredible panoramic view of the bay. We loved the balcony - it has a table and two chairs and a drying rack. It’s worth noting that the air-con costs extra, 9 euro per day. If you are planning on doing a lot of cooking, this place may not be for you as the rooms are quite basically equipped. We had a fridge, a plug-in two burner hob, a sink and a drip coffee maker (no microwave, oven, kettle). You will need to get your own sponge, washing up liquid, hand wash. The beds are very comfy, the aircon works effectively, the shower is excellent and the room was very clean. The cleaner comes every day and she’s flexible as to when she will come to clean. She’s very hard working and a credit to Ippoliti. 3. Pool area - This is the heart of the place and deserves special mention. Ippoliti village is a family run business and you can find them at the pool bar every day, working hard to make sure you have a nice time. Lena is the face of the business, she has a great personality - very warm and welcoming and happy to help with anything, she’s is fluent in Dutch & English so she does most of the talking. Her dad does a lot of the manual stuff. Her mother, Eva, cooks delicious food which you can order throughout the day. Giannis, Lena’s son, helps on the bar and with manual labour too. They’re a very friendly family and they make you feel at home. As for the pool, it is saltwater which always beats chlorine, it’s less harsh o

Very friendly staff at the hotel and is well kept. Great location to the old village for walks or down to the sea front. Room was clean and spacious. Would recommend and would come back again. :-)

Alena was a great host. We will come back (Nick & Katharina)

Great family run hotel
We had the best stay at ippoliti hotel. This is a small, family run hotel in a quiet part of town. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The pool was never crowded and definitely no fighting for sun beds!! The pool was lovely and clean. Sun beds were super cosy with lovely parasols. The owners went above and beyond and were so kind and helpful. Owner even gave us a room upgrade as she saw we had older children and would value the space. The food served was delicious. The apartment lovely and clean. I cannot rate this place highly enough. We would definitely recommend and return.

Very clean and beautiful place

Very happy with the property

Up the hill a bit so you get a great sea view, apartment clean and home cooked Greek food is amazing, Gyros pitta wrap is a must! Supermarket only 5 minutes walk away and Lena and her family are soo friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely go back 😊
