This was my second stay at Villa Zacharo, my first time was 5 years ago. The property, as always, is super clean with the best wi-fi connection in the Dodecanese group of islands in Greece. Add to that the fact that it is next to the biggest supermarket in Patmos and only 3 minutes away from the port and now you know why I came back. Do not let me forget the superb breakfast with great coffee and delicious black olives, plus, the great hosts, Jacob and his wife and now you can guess why I will be back next year, to stay longer!!

Everything was perfect, I am coming back!

Host was really welcoming and gave us lots of information about the island. Room was great for a short stay, good balcony and breakfast was lovely - plus water and hot drinks available at any time. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby and a bus stop very close as was the ferry port.

Nothing, it was all good.

We spent 5 days at Villa Zacharo and we had 2 rooms: a twin and a double. Rooms are very simple but functional. Location is convenient, next to a bus stop, a supermarket and walking distance to everything needed in Skala. Hot and cold water available in the reception area, as well as nescafé, tea bags. Breakfast was good. Very kind family running the hotel. We could benefit of a late check-out for one of the 2 rooms on departure day. Excellent value for money.

The twin room facing the road was quite noisy (had to keep the window closed at night). The double room facing the other side was not only much quieter, but also nicer.

Everything was ok. Location is perfect. Supermarket is less than 50 m away. Bus station 100 m. Ferry port also. Very easy is visit to the Cave and to the Monastery on foot, even there is the bus. Room was cleaned every day and towels and sheet are changed every two days. Breakfast was not exceptional but still quite ok. Of course, this is not four or five star hotel, but this is really excellent 2 star hotel.

Nothing.

The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the port, the owner is super friendly and accommodating. They accepted to take me in when the ferry arrives at 2 in the morning and even arrange everything for my payment and invoice on the spot as I needed to leave super early the other day before I come back to Patmos to get the midnight ferry. They even agreed to keep my luggage in the property until I waited for the ferry and said if they had known I would be coming back they would have gladly kept my room for me so I can rest. Very sweet.

Honestly, nothing to complain about.

Jacob was absolutely fabulous, friendly and knowledgeable. Every good comment you read about him and his hospitality is absolutely spot on. It is a quaint little place that soon wins you over and you wish you had stay longer. We had come from mainland, where we stayed at a 5-star hotel, with amazing facilities and the rest, but Villa Zacharo's simple breakfast and humble stance will stay with me forever, as will Patmos. Thanks Jacob. There is an aura of peace about this place.

Having to leave. The noise from the incessant two-wheeled traffic in the day soon becomes part of the experience. That is Patmos, and that is how it should be, I guess. The place is alive in every sense, and the whole experience humbled me enough to appreciate the quiet greatness that waits for you just up the hill from Villa Zacharo.

Very sweet villa near the heart of the village, on one main road but not noisy. Everythins is accessible by walk in a few minutes in Skala. The rooms are a bit old but comfortable and the balconies are pleasant too. Breakfast is a bit basic in our standards but is really sufficient to start the day with various options. The owners are great people welcoming you Irh a smile anytime. Very good value for money!

I bought the room not knowing or caring if the breakfast was included. In the morning THEY OFFERED me breakfast with no communication at all about cost.. the same thing happened the next day. As I was checking out I was told I owed 5 dollars a day for breakfast and instead of discussing anything he wanted to argue. If I had known he was charging for breakfast I could have made a more informed decision. Ok. Everything else was great! I just wanted to give you the heads up so you are not surprised like me. It is very deceptive.

Breakfast was continental style, cereal, bread, honey, marmalade, plenty of coffee or juice. The room was very clean. Hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful. Own rest room and shower. Very close to harbour, about 5 minutes. Directly opposite was a vehicle car /Scooter hire.

I was fully impressed with everything about the hotel and staff. There is nothing that I didn't like. Most definitely I would stay there again, without hesitation.

The owner and his wife were very kind and generous. He told us how to get around the island and gave good tips for restaurants etc. The property has lots of flowering trees and is surrounded by vegetable- and fruit-growing areas and chickens. You have a view up to the monastery and Chora, and it's very close to the port. We were able to use the hotel as a base waiting for the evening ferry.

Nothing!
