Ansi Apartments

Well, where do I start? I think stunning is the word, we were welcomed by the owner on arrival, who showed us around the apartment, the view is amazing, we are in a 1 bed apartment (no 5) I lose hours simply watching the view, this is our 3rd visit to Almeriyda but the first without the children, we stayed the other end of the resort before, Anis has everything you could possibly need, beautifully clean, lovely white fluffy towels, including a flannel, really well equipped kitchenette with fridge and freezer compartment, air con, TV (not used) as why would you watch TV with that view!! The apartment block has beautiful grounds, clearly well loved and maintained, owners are delightful - I would not hesitate to book but equally want to keep it under the radar!!

We spent a week at the beginning of October in an amazing, cosy apartment with 2 bedrooms, The place is located close to the beach (3 minutes walk downstairs), to the supermarkets, bakeries, tavernas, car rental and travel agencies. The apartment is super clean, beds are very comfortable wtih big choice of different pillows. Kitchen is well equipped and all rooms are tastefully furnished. There is enough space for cloths in the bedrooms and aircondition is available as well (we did not use them during our stay). From the balcony you have a breathtaking view on the sea. Hosts are super kind and helpful, communication was easy in English. We would definately recommend Ansi Apartments to families, friends or couples. You cannot be diappointed because everything is perfect here. We felt like in a 4-stars hotel. A big thank you to Eleni and Joseph also here for their great hospitality and to make our holiday unforgettable!

Just back after 10 superb days. The location is excellent and the views are stunning - the sun sets straight in front of the apartment. The apartment itself is small, but perfectly formed, consisting of a main living/dining area and a bedroom with a super-king size bed, and en-suite shower (no bath). There is a balcony which is big enough for two chairs and a small table. There is a fridge, 2 ring electric cooker, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, and a wide range of utensils. In the air-conditioned bedroom, their is a hairdryer, but no iron, so you'll need to bring one (they may have one that you can borrow). The room is cleaned and the towels changed every other day. There is no bar or food available on site. It's a little difficult to find when you first arrive. There is parking available, but it may be a problem if you aren't a confident driver. It's a very steep drop with a sharp bend - OK going in, awkward getting out. There are 2 ways of getting to the town or the beach. It's a 15-20 minute walk back down the road, or 5 minutes via steps down to the beach. However, the steps are steep at the start and end and are rough concrete with sharp edges and there's no hand rail - be very careful (see photos) Almyrida itself is very quiet. You come here to relax, not party until dawn. It's one main street, parallel to the beach. You can stroll the whole length in about 15 minutes, and that's all there is. The street is lined with snack bars and restaurants catering for all tastes, some good, some better. Expect to pay 8-10 euros for a pair of sunbeds and parasol on the sandy beach. Some of the better restaurants get busy so you may need to pre-book. The next big town along the coast is Kalyves. There is a huge beach - worth a day out - but I wouldn't want to stay there. It looks a bit, well, run-down. Inland from Almyrida is Plaka - about a 15-20 minute walk, uphill, steep in parts. There are 3 big restaurants, the best and busiest of which is Takis. I would highly recommend giving it a try. On the road to Plaka is the Sunset Bar, my favourite. The dining area is a veranda built into the hillside looking out to sea, and the sun sets directly in front. You get stunning views right across the bay and you can sit and watch the setting sun whilst eating your food. Breathtaking. Whilst it was perfect for us, if you struggle with mobility, or you are uncomfortable driving, it probably isn't the best place to stay. However, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone, and if you are going, I'm jealous! We will definitely be back. A big thank you to Eleni for making us welcome.
