Built on the hillside above Kapsali, with the most spectacular 180 degree views to the Venetian fortress in Hora and the distinctive rock of Hytra out at sea, the El Sol’s location is quite stunning: a crow’s nest position overlooking everything.
The pool area affords panoramic vistas (spectacular at night). From here steps lead to the 24 bungalow style rooms at different levels in the gardens. All are spacious, with fine views from their terrace to Hora's floodlit castle or over the hillside to the open sea.
All rooms possess double or twin beds, bath or shower, fridge, tea making facilities, TV, hairdryer, air conditioning and free Wifi. Standard rooms are for 2/3 persons. Junior suites for 2/4 persons are open plan and have a living room area containing two sofa beds - they have two balconies. the studio suites are similar but even more spacious and can accommodate up to 5 persons.
The pool measures 12m x 8m (depth 0.90m-1.90m, has steps in) with adjacent cafe/restaurant serving snacks and light meals. Breakfast includes local produce, home made jams and pastries.
Elsewhere there is a basketball area, children’s playground, table tennis and a fitness room.
The family and helpful staff are ever willing to share knowledge about their island.
El Sol is 900m from Kapsali (a 12 min. walk down but longer and all uphill on the way back). For Sunvil guests the hotel offers one daily complimentary transfer to either Kapsali or Hora. All you have to do is ask when you want to leave and then ring from wherever you are when you want to return. Even so, car hire is recommended for non-walkers.
Note: Sunvil's rooms have guaranteed sea views for stays before 30/6 and from 13/9 onwards. Outside these periods sea views are on request only.
