"Amazing place, the pool in the middle of the property was beautiful and the trees and gardens' upkeep was impeccable. Very calm and relaxing place. We stayed in the stone bungalow which was lovely, peaceful and in the middle of the lovely fruit trees all around. Only problem is that it can feel a bit dark inside the room if you are looking for sunlight, but we mitigated that with our own front porch and sitting area. Only other thing I'd take note of, is they don't have room service. In case you need food or drinks, you'd have to go to the local market which is nearby."

"Our stay at Gkeea Hotel in Ierissos, Greece, was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for in every possible way. The hotel is beautifully designed and impeccably maintained, creating a relaxing and elegant atmosphere. Our room was spotless every day, with outstanding housekeeping and attention to detail that made our stay incredibly comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh, delicious options to suit every taste. It was the perfect way to start each day. As a family, we especially appreciated how family-friendly the hotel is. The warm hospitality, comfortable facilities, and welcoming environment made it an ideal place for both adults and children. A very special thank you goes to Athanasia and her husband for their unconditional support, kindness, and genuine hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt at home, and their dedication is what makes this hotel truly special. Their warmth and personal care transformed a wonderful vacation into an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Gkeea Hotel to anyone visiting Ierissos.
