Archontiko Maisonettes – Authentic stone-built retreats near the shore

🏠 Traditional architecture | 🌊 Close to Amoudi Beach | 🏊 Sparkling outdoor pool | 🍳 Self-catering maisonettes | 🌿 Quiet village setting

Overview

Archontiko Maisonettes is a charming 3-star property that offers you a genuine taste of Greek island life in the peaceful village of Amoudi. These traditional stone-built houses are set within lush green gardens, located just a short walk from the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. You will find this the ideal spot for a relaxing break where you can swap busy resort crowds for the gentle sound of the waves and authentic local hospitality.


Rooms

Each maisonette is designed to feel like your very own holiday home, featuring traditional wooden furniture and cool stone walls. Your stay includes specific amenities designed for comfort and independence:

  • Split-level layout with a separate bedroom area
  • Fully equipped kitchenette with fridge and cooking hobs
  • Air-conditioning to keep you cool during the Zakynthian heat
  • Private balcony or veranda with garden or sea views
  • Television and safety deposit box
  • Private bathroom with shower and hairdryer

Dining

At Archontiko Maisonettes, you have the total freedom of a self-catering holiday. You can prepare your own fresh Mediterranean salads and light bites in your kitchenette using local produce from nearby shops. For those evenings when you want to soak up the local atmosphere, a handful of traditional tavernas are located within walking distance. Here, you can dine just steps from the refreshing sea breeze and enjoy local specialities like fresh grilled fish or moussaka as the sun sets over the horizon.


Pools and Spa

The heart of the complex is a well-maintained outdoor swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing dip after a morning spent exploring. You can lounge on the terrace and enjoy the quiet surroundings of the village. Please note that the use of any Spa facilities or treatments at nearby partner properties may be subject to additional charges.


Beach

The beautiful Amoudi Beach is located approx. 100 metres from your front door, making it incredibly easy to wander down for a morning swim. This is a public sandy and shingle beach known for its clear, shallow waters. As it is a natural coastal area, any sun loungers or umbrellas provided by local vendors are typically available at an extra charge.


Sport and Entertainment

The focus here is on slow-paced relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of Zakynthos. You can spend your days wandering through the olive groves or taking a short stroll into the village centre. The atmosphere in the evenings is tranquil, providing a chic setting for tranquil relaxation on your private veranda with a glass of local wine.


Family Amenities

Families will appreciate the spacious layout of the maisonettes, which offers more room to move than a standard hotel room. The outdoor pool has a shallow section suitable for children, and the surrounding gardens provide a safe, enclosed space for little ones to play under the Mediterranean sun.


Attractive Location

Archontiko Maisonettes is perfectly positioned for those who want to explore the northern coast of the island while staying away from the main tourist hubs:

  • Approx. 100m from the nearest beach
  • Within walking distance of local tavernas and mini-markets
  • Approx. 2km from the lively resort of Alykanas

“Family room with swimming pool in a fair price ”

Nice and Kind hospitality, rooms are clean and you have all the equipment in a small kitchen. The room in the 1st floor was very small also the bath. The pool is amazing with nice view. The price per night is fair and lower compared to other locations. It has free parking, wifi and breakfast.

“A little bit of paradise”

If you were a fan of the Durrells then you will love this Greek hideaway. This is our 4th visit to Alykes and we love it but thought we would try different accommodation which we were not disappointed with. It's very quirky to say the least. Our accommodation was a 2 storey maisonettes with a spiral staircase so if you arn't sure with managing this there are single storey apartments. We had a lovely view over the bay of Alykes and apart from being on a main road the traffic didn't bother us. We watched the sunrise every morning which was spectacular so we were very happy. The accommodation was cleaned every day and sheets changed 2-3 times in our stay which was only 10 days, there is a little poolside bar and a lovely pool not huge but sufficient for us. Lots of cats and dogs which are friendly. Now the only downside is there is no restaurant up here apart from pool bar where you can get food and only a couple of basic supermarkets also it's abit of a walk to the beach 20-25mins downhill which isn't too bad but a lot harder coming back up and as my husband and I are in our 60's we decided to hire a scooter from the town which has solved that problem. I would recommend this holiday to anyone who loves a traditional Greek holiday away from the busy town but not too far to go out for the beach and evening meals there is a large selection of restaurants in town with variety of food from 3 courses to pizza and the food standards are very high. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Alykes and I'm sure we will be back for 5 th time. Happy Holidays yammas!!

“A fantastic location with wonderful hosts !”

We just came back from our second vacation and stay at Archontiko Maisonnettes. This truly is a hidden jewel ! The location in “Katastari” village is on the side of a hill with amazing view of the Ionian Sea and the best climate of the whole island. The maisonnettes are very authentic and beautifully restored keeping the charm and character of the 18th century – the whole resort is under monumental protection. If you are looking for a relaxed vacation in a rustic Greek family environment you will for sure enjoy your stay. Anybody who, even for vacation, needs a 5* hotel with lots of extravagant extras will not find this type of luxury here. The equipment of the maisonnettes is traditional and simple yet you will find everything you need to spend a calm and relaxed family vacation. The rooms are cleaned every day and towels/sheets every third day. The pool is well maintained and clean with enough sunbeds for any guest throughout the day. The bar is small but adequate with a nice relaxed atmosphere and fairly priced. The menu is limited with a nice choice of great salads and selected traditional Greek food. Special meals can be prepared home made on individual order. The village road passing outside the property is not very busy, especially at night; for sure, the chirping of cicadas is more noisy. In summary we were looking for a nice calm place to spend our vacation and we found not only a true hidden jewel but also adorable Greek hospitality making us feel being part of the family – our second home ! Thank you again Mary, Stefan & Dimitris for the fantastic stay and time with you at Archontiko. We are already looking into flight bookings for next year and cannot wait to seeing you all again ! We will come back !!

“Never want to come home!!!”

Yet another amazing holiday at the most beautiful Archontiko. We go on several holidays a year but none ever match up to this, and a holiday year is not complete without a visit. Nothing is to much trouble for Mary, Dimitris and family- and that is just how they treat there guests - just like family. The accommodation is Greek!! And that is what makes it so special. It is hard to find places like this anymore. A personal service in unspoilt surroundings. There is no microwave or dishwasher in the rooms but if you want that go somewhere else, the sort of place you need to put your towels on sunbeds at 6am to get a spot - and listen to loud music all day and eat plastic burgers and drink watered down alcohol. Not here!!!! The cleaning is done by Dina and we always have a lovely clean maisonette to come home to she works so hard. This is a place for sitting by the pool switching off , reading and relaxing. No mobiles, no sports TV. Pure peace. The snack bar is there to be used around the pool a small menu but cooked by Mary or Dimitris. If you want something they will do their best to get it for you. Dimitris milkshakes are practically pure ice- cream - the prices are reasonable for the quality given. There are no restrictions on using inflatables etc in the pool. However, I think they should put a notice up by the pool asking guest not to bring their own food and drink to this area. I have read another review and can’t believe that guest would do that when there are balconies and lovely sitting areas around the accommodation areas. The location and views are perfect - but it is a steep walk back at night. It’s too hot to do the walk up in the day. We can’t wait until next year
