Villa Golden Sun

The Stivachtis family own three properties in Ag, Ioannis, the beautiful resort on the Aegean Coast, in the Pelion area. Since their very nice looking Villa Golden Sun was closed down in the winter, they accommodated us very acceptably in their Akti Rooms right on the seafront. Because it was out of season the cost was fantastic: 35 Euros a night for two double rooms. The rooms were immaculately clean and spacious and nicer than those we had occupied at the Sofokles and at the Eden in the same resort. The views are wonderful, and the sea is just across a small road in front of the hotel. Breakfast on the terrace was delicious and reasonably priced at 5 Euros a head. The small balconies are wonderful. Mattresses were very firm, which I like but may not suit everyone. The TV reception is not great, and the Wi-Fi was a bit erratic, and in the main holiday months the road outside might be a bit noisy, but we really enjoyed our stay. Above all, Mr and Mrs Stivachtis will do everything to make your stay comfortable. We did not eat in their restaurant but have been told by friends that the food is excellent.
