St John Villas

We booked to stay at St. John villa after 2 years of not being able to holiday due to Covid, we were all very much looking forward to it as the villas pictured beautiful and luxury, however upon arrival this was not the case, first impressions of the villa were run down and tired, no sea view as described when we booked with jet2, gardens around the pool area overgrown and dangerous for children also we found dog poo in the garden, we were also under the impression the pool would be heated which isn’t made very clear when you book villa or suites, pool was very cold. the pictures are not a true reflection in the slightest this was a 3 star at best not a 5 star luxury, we went to the mini market to get some bits as the villa wasn’t even equipped with a bottle of water, the mini market barely had anything in, you’d expect more choice when you’ve paid for apparent 5 star luxury, there was a children's park a short walk from our villa however the children couldn’t go on it as it was overgrown and dangerous for the children to play! We had to pay 7 euros a night for a travel cot when these are normally provided free of charge when on holiday in either hotels or villas, maintenance man had to come to our villa 3-4 times to check the electric as ours had gone off several times, pool man had spent almost 2 hours at our villa one morning which was time wasted for our children wanting to play in the COLD pool, Tsvilli town is a short 10-15 minute walk but would need to taxi back to the villa as it’s a very steep hill. Upon checkout receptionist barely said two words didn’t ask how our stay was or for any feedback, We’re not usually people to moan however I think for guests thinking of booking in the future to know exactly what their booking. Very misleading and not a true reflection, we made the most of the week with our children to make memories, however would definitely not return to these villas, overrated, overpriced and run down!

Located at the top of a hill overlooking Tsilivi, the stunning St John Suites are modern, super clean and extremely peaceful and relaxing. A high level of privacy within your suite, private pool, terrace, daybed and sunbathing area are an extension of a spacious and beautifully decorated room with folding doors opening the space right up. The staff are so friendly and lovely to chat with, Marina, Dean (the Groom guy), Spiros and Marelena plus many others just want your stay to be the best possible. Every meal was tasty and beautifully presented, good size of menu to choose from, and the only fault was that the portion sizes were huge, if too much food is a bad thing. Whilst up the hillside it’s only a short walk down the hill, 15 minutes and you’re on the edge of Tsilivi resort centre. Recommend a taxi back up if it’s dark though as no lights and it’s a single track road. Waited over 2 years for a holiday, Tsilivi and St Johns Suites did not disappoint Xx
