The terraced setting is stunning, but does require some mobility. Guests with limited mobility should consider this carefully.

Classic Room Styles in Some Categories

Elegance Among Greenery

Arriving along the gently winding roads of the Kommeno Peninsula, your holiday anticipation builds. At journey’s end, Grecotel Eva Palace welcomes guests with a sense of space and peaceful seclusion. The architecture honours Greek island tradition, letting in natural light through open terraces and airy lounges that bring the sea into every public area. Cypress, bougainvillea and aged olive trees create a lush, calming environment – the greenery sets a tranquil tone for your whole stay.

Beach & Pool – The Many Blues of the Ionian

Eva Palace centres on its sheltered bay, with a sand and pebble beach and crystal-clear water. The sea here is typically calm, ideal for a swim or light water sports. Above the beach, the vast 1,700 m² pool offers panoramic bay views. Ample sun loungers, Balinese daybeds, a pool bar for snacks and drinks, and proximity to the shore promise summer fun. Guests appreciate the immaculate grounds, attentive pool team, easy towel service, and high cleanliness standards throughout.

Culinary Delights – Mediterranean, International & Surprising

With four restaurants, there’s something for every palate: Mediterraneo buffet features lavish breakfasts and themed dinners; Il Melograno serves light Mediterranean lunches by the pool; La Contessa offers à la carte Italian favourites on the terrace; and Sushi & Sticks brings standout Asian flavours with a bay view. In the evenings, sip something special at Serenissima Panorama Bar, relax at the Beach Bar at sunset, or enjoy coffee and desserts at the charming Bellini-Pasticceria. Expect high-quality ingredients, varied options, and thoughtful dishes for vegetarians and families alike.

Among 225 accommodation options, you’ll find elegant main building rooms, cosy garden bungalows, spacious suites, and grand villas with private pools. Many rooms are romantically detailed with four-poster beds and glass-walled bathrooms – classical elegance that fits the location perfectly. Standard amenities include AC, safe, minibar, coffee/tea maker and fast WiFi. For extra peace, opt for a higher-floor room for panoramic views – while families especially love garden bungalows close to the greenery.

Housekeeping & Upkeep

The housekeeping and garden teams do an outstanding job of keeping the property fresh. All public areas, rooms and beach are cleaned regularly. Some room types feature a classic, traditional design – for more modern décor, look to suite categories or higher-grade rooms. Overall, hygiene is excellent and frequently praised by guests.

The Dine Club half-board suits food lovers, whilst the Comfort All-In Pack adds lunch, selected drinks and snacks at specified times – ideal for relaxed days by the pool or beach. Considering the hotel’s setting, views and service, you get excellent value, especially outside the peak summer season!

Service & Staff

Greek Hospitality

The team radiates genuine, relaxed warmth and are always on hand – whether at the pool, the restaurant or on the beach. Special requests are accommodated where possible, and both couples and families enjoy the personal service.

Reception & Concierge (Multilingual)

The reception team is happy to assist with restaurant bookings, boat trips and transfers; you can also reach the WhatsApp concierge 24/7. English and Greek are always spoken, with additional languages depending on staff availability.

Sustainability & Responsibility

The hotel’s beach has Blue Flag status and Eva Palace is Travelife-certified. The focus is on resource conservation, local produce and reducing plastic waste. Please note: Greece charges a mandatory climate levy per room/night, paid on site.

My take as a travel expert: Eva Palace is where you find yourself drifting in the pool on a lazy afternoon with the whole peninsula on the horizon, before the sun sets on your plate at La Contessa in the evening. Yes, there are steps – but also genuine and restorative calm. For couples and pleasure-seekers, it's a real top pick.
