“Lovely rooms and gardens”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 4 nights in September. We were met at the port by the friendly owner and driven to the hotel and also they provided transport back to the port.
We had a studio room on the ground floor, it was spacious and very clean. There was also a balcony, with the beautiful garden giving us privacy when we sat out.
It was a 5-10 minute walk into Skala, and around a 10-15 minute walk the other way to Meloi beach, although in the heat not a pleasant walk to the beach!! We hired a quad for a day, and at 15 euros this was a bargain, we saw nearly all of the island in a day and I would highly recomend hiring a moped or quad on order to visit the beaches, especially Lambi beach in the north.

“Great place to stay on a budget.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

The studio is clean, quiet and well equipped. It is located within walking distance of a small supermarket, moped hire (in my opinion essential for exploring Patmos) and Skala. As mentioned in other reviews there are no views from the terrace but i think that is why it is so much cheaper than it's nearest competitor. My only gripe was that we were told it would be €35 a night and in the end we were charged €40. It was worth it so I didn't question it, but I felt it was a little dishonest and left me with a slight bitter taste.

“Really liked this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011

We stayed in this pretty and relaxed hotel and loved the little balcony surrounded by colourful flowers.The hotel is clean, comfortable,
and well-run, and we appreciated the little extra touches like plenty of tea/coffee and a gift of wine and cake.

“A Wonderful 6 Days!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2011

Stayed at VK for six days as part of a two week trip to the Dodecanese. Even though the Blue Star boat from Kos arrived at 11:30 PM, Debbie picked me and a couple of other travellers up and drove us back to VK. Lovely room, great off-season rates, relaxing balcony where I enjoyed much feta, olives and wine! Patmos was great and I didn't want to leave - Villa Knossos was the perfect place to stay. Debbie was a great source of local info too - ask her about the best places to shop and buy local delicacies, if you're sticking around for a while. Highly recommended and many thanks Debbie!

“Great value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed for six nights on the beautiful island of Patmos and we were very happy at Villa Knossos. Well located on the edge of Skala near the harbor, we could walk everywhere although we did rent a car to get around the island. We stayed in one of the rooms in the main building (where the owner lives upstairs) that had a great efficiency set-up and a nice terrace surrounded by greenery. Debbie, the owner, was incredibly accomodating and picked us up at the Port and and took us back there late at night to catch our out-bound ferry. Yes, there is some industrial work around the Villa but it never bothered us.

Room Tip: Everything is good. Our room was great - no. 7.
