Camvillia Resort Messinia

Camvillia is a slice of paradise in the wonderful Messinia region of the Peloponnese in Greece. The hotel’s location is quiet and the views from every part of the property are stunning. The atmosphere is as agreeable as the location; with the welcome and friendly service quite exceptional. The meals on the terrace overlooking the sea and the mountains of the Mani peninsula the other side are unforgettable. The rooms are quiet and all have lovely views. There is a great beach nearby and several quaint towns and amazing archaeological sites, so you can have both sun and sand and cultural discovery. I can’t really think of anything I would change.

From the moment we stepped into Camvillia Resort, we felt like we were in a dream. The setting is simply magical – calm, elegant, and surrounded by nature. We were greeted so warmly at reception, and the welcome drink by the pool made us feel immediately relaxed and at home. Our room was just beautiful – spacious, tastefully decorated, and with an incredible sea view that took our breath away every morning. We loved how peaceful it was, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. Everything was spotless, and the cleaning team kept it that way every day with a big smile! The restaurant staff were truly fantastic – so kind and attentive, always ready to recommend something delicious. We enjoyed every single meal, especially breakfast on the terrace with that unbeatable view. You could taste the quality and care in everything we tried. I also treated myself to a little me-time at the spa, and wow… what a treat. The atmosphere was so calming and the therapist was incredibly professional – it was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Most of all, what made our stay so special was the people. Every member of the team went out of their way to make sure we had the most relaxing, worry-free stay. There’s a real sense of pride in what they do – and it shows. Thank you, Camvillia team, for making us feel so welcome and cared for. This was exactly the break we needed, and we can’t wait to come back. You've truly created a place that stays in the heart. 💙 Warm wishes, A very happy guest 😊

This was the second time I have visited Camvillia which is testament to how amazing this little gem of perfection is. The infinity pool facing the Peloponnese is so beautiful, the staff so friendly and efficient and the rooms/suites so thoughtfully decorated. Nothing is too much trouble for the owner manager who just wants to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The walk to the beach is lovely along a quiet road but there is a minivan if you prefer. The beach and swimming is idyllic. The hotel provides towels and for a small fee you can have a sunbed and drinks delivered to you. There are restaurants around the beach Akri being a favourite but the half- board at Camvillia is such good value with beautifully fresh ingredients. The pork was delicious. Breakfast is the best I have had, so many traditional choices. The backdrop gorgeous view is the icing on the cake. Already planning our return next year. Cannot wait.

must warn you in advance this is going to be a long one, there are pros and cons I will start with the pros first, it will be the shortest! The pool and view stunning, most of the staff lovely and the shuttle to the beach is brilliant, in the area you have one little shop, which i christened Arkwrights because it literally was open all hours, and one little Taverna called Evli, basic but nice food, its like going back 50 years Now for the complaints It started with our executive sea view room, it felt like going into a basement, i did mention it straight away to Georgia, who told me in no uncertain terms, “You have a balcony” Georgia herself needs to go on a customer hospitality course, quickly, i found her unhelpful and quite rude at times I would class it a partial sea view because the trees where blocking it when sitting down, i have included photographs, room 203 The toilet bowl was stained, the shower underfoot was disgusting, see photos You are allocated one bottle of water in your room on arrival, and that is it, ALL 5 star hotels i have stayed in replace that bottle every day You have 2 sticks of coffee in your room, if you want more you have to go to reception everyday, this is not a 5 Star service, no replacement of toilet roll, i had to walk over the car park to reception one morning for a toilet roll, again not 5 star service! No milk pods in room, and the mini bar price list is there with wine on, but the wine was never put in the fridge, personally i think it is because they can make more money at the bar charging ridiculous prices! No pack in room with the usual local information you would expect, again not 5 star ! I did speak to the jet2 rep and she told me that the hotel was going to speak to me directly about the restaurant issues i had, Georgia had plenty of opportunity but she seemed to prefer to hide! The drinks are very very expensive, a glass of wine, small measure, was 9 Euro, a bottle at dinner 30 Euro, 2 ouzos, small measure 20 Euro, absolutely no atmosphere in the bar area at night because people with any sense where not prepared to pay the over inflated prices, which was a shame because it was a nice area with a wonderful view. Now the Restaurant! I did email the hotel prior to going and they assured me they catered! For the full 10 days the menu was the same, except with a couple of exceptions, that was after i spoke to Georgia on the third night to ask her to arrange the kitchen to do something different and frankly edible, like moussaka, which they did, even tho she said I wouldn’t be able to eat it as gluten free people cant eat potatoes ! I told her to google what gluten free meant , the kitchen did do a gluten free version The only other addition they did was add two gluten free appetisers, an octopus dish and a cheese pie, i asked the waiter to check with the kitchen, both NOT gluten free, they could have quite easily put someone in hospital! Georgia also lied to me telling me the menu was changed approximately

The hotel offers a perfect position view, all the resort was beautiful, the food really great, very polite and highly experienced personnel. The seaside and the sea is beautiful, very calm landscape and the access is more than easy with the hotel van transportation. Everything has constituted a real 5 star experience and both the hotel and the place are highly recommended.

This was a five star hotel,It Wasn't the hotel looked lovely,grounds nice infinity pool was lovely nice views hotel had a free car to the beach and pick up back it was ok.I was with my sister our room was for someone in a wheelchair the bathroom was a wet room,the shower was smaller than my sister and she's about 5 foot so you can imagine taking a shower washing your hair our back was sore the view was spoiled by trees not an Executive room with sea view,we did say we were not happy with the room but told hotel was full maybe tomorrow there would be another room tomorrow never came the person we spoke to was seemingly the manageress ,she was Rude didn't want too know,we said the bathroom was dirty taken to wipe the floor ,cloth had lots of dirt on it and that was after been cleaned for most of the week.I could go on and on which is such a shame as this could be a lovely hotel but needs new management.
