.....and I forgot to mention Eleni's wine and olive oil from her own vines and olive trees - try it!
Just
returned from another wonderful two weeks with Eleni and her
family. In 20 or so years of visiting Greece, we've never met
anyone so friendly and helpful.. The 180 degree view over
farmland, Katastari and the mountains is incredible. Highly
recommended - can only assume some of the negative comments below refer
to Roula apartments in Tsilivi !
Our 5th stay at the Roulla, and as always a warm and freindly welcome from Eleni & family. All rooms are maintained and cleaned to a very high standard, a wonderful and relaxing place to stay, we just love it.
These are beautiful studios set in such a wonderful, peaceful setting. Eleni and her family welcome every guest to their studios with open arms. She is always there ready to help her guests in anyway she can, I have never known such a caring person. She cares for her studios which are kept to a very high standard. Quiet, peaceful, homely and very very welcoming.. a true greek treasure.
just got back after spending 2 weeks at the roulla apts alykes,lovely place to stay Eleni and family where very inviting and hospitable... rooms where clean bright well stocked kettle ect.....i would recommend here to anybody.... make sure you try their home made wine it was excellent 10 out of 10
just got back from there!you are sure of a warm and sincere welcome from ELENI.all her studios and apartments are of a high standard .they are cleaned daily and there is never a shortage of hot water!!we will be back next year!!
we have just got back from staying at the roulla studios we've had a fantastic!! holiday. the appartments were basic but keept very clean, the owner elini and her family are lovely and very helpfull if you need anything just ask.we will be going back soon. it was our first time to zante and we fell in love with the place we strongly recomend it.
Just got back, and wish we had stayed longer! The apartments are literaly 5 mins away from the resort centre and beach, all of which is lovely and clean. The lack of pool did worry us before we got to the apartments, but really we didn't need to. Immediately opposite to our balcony was The Clio hotel/apartments where the use of their pool is allowed, as well as three other pools in similarly close proximity. The friendliness of the greek people was a pleasant surprise, especially that of the staff at both the Roulla apartments, and The clio. In all an excellent holiday, just wish we could go back and do it all over again!
Thanx for your comments kym, you have put our minds at rest! Having recently booked the holiday & then reading this page, i thought i would be packing my 'mr muscle', 'dettol' & rubber gloves!
I think the last people were confused Roulla studio's does not have a pool or staff to hassle you it is very quiet clean accomadation with a very friendly owner who will do anything for you
Has there been any improvements at the Roulla studios since last september?
Enjoyed our stay at the roulla studios eleni and her family were so pleasant and always offering clean towels and clean bed linen.Apartments were clean but upstairs were a little small.Downstairs apartments were a lot better with lots of space.There were no worries with sleep as it was very quiet and with a pool a hop skip and a jump away it is ideal for a quiet restful relaxing break.
Nice woman that ran it, she let us stay on our last day past the 12 checking out time, 'til we left at 5pm. It cost us 5,000 dm though! Her kids and their friends tend to play right outside No 6 (which was ours) every day! There was one very annoying little boy who kept practicing his English, although all he seemed to say was "Zank you vary mutch!" Seriously, good location, cheap and use of pool 50 yards away.
The Roulla apartments are run by a nice family adn the Roulla apartments get the name from the eldest daughter of two. The room are basic but nice. They are set just of the salt lakes, and have two pools less than 50 meters away than can be used. THe resourt centre and beach are 5 mins walk away, with two supermarkets 4 mins away. There is little noise, to keep the early to bed awake, and is quiet in the mornings for the lie ins. If you want an apartment to be used as a base to explore the island these are ideal. However if you are used to the 5 star hotel lifestyle you'll hate it.
