Zoe Hotel

This family-run hotel is at the small seaside resort of Gialova, 6 kms north of the historic town of Pylos and only a kilometre from the edge of a nature reserve known for its birdlife. It enjoys a quiet location just across a cul-de-sac from the long sandy beach here. Flowers, trees and shrubs add colour and meals can be taken in the shade. (The eagle eyed may be lucky enough to spot the rare African chameleon in its only known habitat in Greece).

The hotel has some 20 Superior room (c. 22 sq m) of a 4 star standard and served by a lift.

Rooms are twin or double bedded (king size with luxury bedding), and possess a spacious walk-in rainwater shower, and a sea facing balcony (note: sea views may be through the trees to the front of the hotel). Room facilities include AC, WiFi, hairdryer, mini-fridge a room safe, insect screened windows/balcony doors and tea-making equipment. There are also 2-room Family Suites for 4 (front double bedroom, smaller rear twin bedroom, both with AC) and top floor Loft Rooms, which do not have a balcony but two large angled skylight windows with fine views over Navarino Bay.

The ground floor houses an excellent restaurant which extends out into the shade of the mature shrubs and trees to the front.

In the extensive gardens behind, shared with the apartments, is a huge 250 sq m freshwater swimming pool (depth 1.85m, no shallow end) - pool towels are available from reception. Sun beds on the beach are free for guests.

The nature reserve, noted for its bird life, is very close by and easily accessed by foot or rented bicycle.

Although there are buses to Pylos, most guests are quite happy to stay put! Gialova has a very wide choice of tavernas as well as a handful of cafes and a mini-market and miles of sandy beach starts outside the hotel, culminating in famous Voidokilia some 4 kms to the north. Zoe Hotel has many loyal guests returning year on year so early booking is recommended. 

Please note: The swimming pool is planned to operate from mid-April to late October (exact opening/closing date dependent on weather conditions).
