Yanna Studios

Loved our stay at Yanna Studios. Yanna and her son Yannis were great hosts and always around to help. The studios are clean bright and spacious with wonderful views. The pool is gorgeous with sun beds available at any time of the bed. Short hill up to the studios but worth it for the views and the cooling breeze. Our first stay but definitely not our last.

Another wonderful stay with Yanna and Yanni this is our 4th year staying here always so welcoming the studios are just what you need good clean rooms with a good hot shower The pool is amazing most of the time it’s like your own private pool Very quiet area to stay in and just a short walk to hustle and bustle of Tsilivi and the beach

Most beautiful place, peaceful amazing experience, 100% recommend worth a visit . Spotless clean tidy place, hostess polite and kind and helpful. Value for money. Beautiful pool, clean cosy rooms with your normal basic essentials. Near to shops, tavernas, only 7 minutes to the beach, 2 minutes to the taxi. The nearest market is about 5 minutes away.

My partner and I booked a studio sea view apartment after viewing modern, stylish photos online (see the first image). We were excited to try new accommodation on our return to Tsilivi, but our experience at Yannas Studios was a disaster. We arrived around 11:30 AM after a morning flight and, as expected, knew we’d likely have to wait a few hours to check in. We were told by an older woman to wait by the apartment block. A man — presumably Yannis, though he never introduced himself — arrived, asked for our booking, then told us to "wait by the pool" and walked off. We awkwardly stood there with our luggage until he returned 10 minutes later, rudely shouting, "I SAID WAIT BY THE POOL." Not once did Yannis offer to store our bags or suggest a place to change. We embarrassingly had to open our suitcases in front of other guests, fumbling to change into something more appropriate for the warm weather, we sat awkwardly on the sunbeds with all our belongings still piled around us. We weren’t even offered a glass of water during the three hours we waited to check in. Finally, Yannis summoned us to the room and sped up a hill, leaving us to drag our bags behind. When we got to the apartment, he stood in the doorway and shouted, "If you want aircon on, shut doors. Towels are for ROOM ONLY, do NOT take them to the beach or pool. The pool is open 9 AM - 7 PM." Then he left abruptly. The room was nothing like the photos (see the second image). It was basic, dirty, and outdated. There was a small double bed with a hard mattress, a child’s bed, no dressing table, and barely any storage for our clothes. The floor was filthy, with hair all over it, and the kitchen was an absolute joke—drawers full of dirty cutlery, crusty plates, and an ancient, grime-covered portable hob. The safe in the wardrobe had no key, and when I opened a random door on the wall, it led to a cement wall, indicating the room was part of a poorly split family room. To top it off, the shower was hanging off the tap, and the curtain was covered in mould. We were stunned. Feeling like we had nothing to lose, we approached Yannis to raise our concerns. My partner politely raised the issues. His response? A cold "yes" to everything. He even admitted, "The past guests probably broke the shower, but I will not fix." Then, he snapped, "If you do not like it, then leave. Just go." We were shocked and hadn’t even considered leaving until he rudely suggested it. He said we had 20 MINUTES to decide.. Frantic, we found new accommodation returned to tell Yannis in a timely matter. He shouted, "COME WITH ME," storming back to the apartment. As we gathered our belongings, he repeatedly yelled, "GET YOUR STUFF AND GO." He slammed cupboards and doors during his "inspection," but eventually refunded our money, stating, "It’s the best solution for all parties." As we left, the older woman smirked and said in Greek, "They wonder why it’s so cheap." For the record, it wasn’t. This was a horrible, disappoi

Just spent 8 nights at Yanna Studios beautiful location with fab views great pool area very quiet and relaxing close to restaurants and pubs short walk to the beach ,the owners were lovely and very helpful good value for money hopefully we will visit again very soon . Pauline

I'm really torn with this place. The pool is, hands-down, very nice. As is the view from the balcony. The location may be a mixed bag depending on your preference. It's at the edge of Tsilivi rendering it a bit quieter while being up a steep hill. If that is no issue for you the location is basically perfect. There are a billion tavernas of different kinds within walking distance, as well as, slightly further away 2 supermarkets. The, also pretty nice, Tsilivi beach is around 10-15 mins away... now for the but though: I honestly don't understand all the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Maybe the people who wrote these are only used to cheap hostels. The rooms are not just very spartan and very basic (which is generally fine and almost expected) but really run-down. The beds are pretty worn. The kitchen equipment does basically not exist. Basic kitchenette stuff like a sponge or some liquid soap are AWOL. The few glasses, plates, and cutlery are of poor quality and somewhat dirty. Sheets and towels are all clean, the rest, however, not so much. The entire interior is in serious need of a makeover. I'm explicitely NOT saying that you should not book this place. But you should be aware of its limitations. Book it if you want a nice view and private pool, and don't plan on staying in the rooms or cook anything yourself. Despite the rating (which is probably upgraded by the pool) this is more like a 2-star place. Pros: - very nice and private pool - view from the room/balcony - location, edge of Tsilivi, more quiet Cons: - the rooms and almost everything about them
