We stayed at Amanzoe in April 2022 as a Family of 4...twice! I am not sure where to begin, it might be best to ask my children who were 4 and 6 at the time, who to this day still fondly talk of their time at 'Zoe' as they affectionately have named it. Located around 2.5hours drive from Athens, the drive down and onto the property is an experience in and of itself, surrounded by lush green trees, vineyards and olive groves. We were greeted by the team including the GM Ernst, who addressed the children and the adults; these actions gave you an idea of how special this trip was going to be from the moment we arrived. As we walked further in, after refreshments, you were met with an 'Acropolis like' design. Stunning. The most beautiful architecture, marble, white stone lapped by the bluest of pools. As we were shown around, we became even more enamoured. Whilst the size of Amanzoe is vast, the number of rooms/pavillions are few, which again speaks to privacy and luxury. Our pavillion, which when we came back the second time, we returned to, was beautifully designed and appointed again in the 'Acropolis like' style with a garden, terrace and private pool which we thoroughly enjoyed as a family. Incredibly clean and minimalist. The level of personalisation and luxury is second to none, from the complimentary minibar, to the complimentary movies, footwear, sunhats, beach bags, to each evening being met with turndown gifts for the family...one is utterly spoiled. Aside from the obviously beautiful property, I believe what made us return back to Amanzoe in such a short period of time, was that the service was and is incomparable. We didn't need to ask or say a thing, it seemed that everything was remembered, and the stay was personalised to us; from my husband's coffee, to the favourite drinks within the minibar, to the desserts at dinner for the children, the eggs at breakfast, to the bottled water down at the beach club. Service was second to none. Whilst it would be easy to never leave, there is plenty to do close by, and we enjoyed getting to know Martina and Manous, who own the farm we visited during the stay; visited Spetses, a beautiful Island a boat ride away from 'Zoe' and plenty more sights. We want to thank Ernst, Jordan and the team for the most wonderful stay, and returned stay, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon - not least because our departure bracelet gifts are a constant reminder that we must return. We would rate Amanzoe a 10/10.
