“Peacefull, lovley place”

Lovley welcome. Clean, fresh smelling studio. Garden view which was both quiet and lovley. My husband and I wanted a quiet, break away i chose wisely and got what we asked for.

Lovley welcome. Clean, fresh smelling studio. Garden view which was both quiet and lovley. My husband and I wanted a quiet, break away i chose wisely and got what we asked for. Nearby tavernas and a supermarket next door. The supermarket closed for the season on october 1st as did a couple of tavernas but there is another supermarket a ten minute walk away. We ate out every night, lovley food and reasonable prices. We explored the island and fell in love with the people and the places we visited. Overall Barbaras is perfect for a quiet, peacefull break. The food we ate there was lovley too. Only one bad thing the beds are very hard..personal preference but i did find it hard to sleep. Wouldnt stop me staying there again. Oh, busstop outside too.

“Quiet, peaceful studios. ”

Good size studios, private balcony with a view of the sea in the distance. Mosquito net covers the doors and windows. Good self catering facilties and a supermarket next door.

Good size studios, private balcony with a view of the sea in the distance. Mosquito net covers the doors and windows. Good self catering facilties and a supermarket next door. The supermarket closed on day 2 of my holiday (it was October) but there was another one 10 minutes walk away. Very friendly, hard working family run. It was very quiet this time of year and only a small choice of restaurants nearby. Only 10 minute transfer from the airport. If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday then pick the Barbara Studios.

“Barbara Studios”

Set in pretty well-kept gardens. The studios are certainly basic but they were clean and we had a decent balcony & appreciated the mosquito screens.

Set in pretty well-kept gardens. The studios are certainly basic but they were clean and we had a decent balcony & appreciated the mosquito screens. We thought that check-in was a bit overwhelming, as you get a list of rules read out to you, backed up with a framed version to read but maybe this was why it was so peaceful and calm around the pool which also has a large board of rules. There was no problem with getting a sun bed however several of the loungers were broken but hopefully this will be sorted by next season. We had paid for B&B, but I cannot recommend breakfasts here unfortunately. We were told to be seated and then a plate of food was just put in front of us. There was no choice whatsoever unless you wanted to pay for a full English. We were given eggs, two small slices of cheap bread, cheap highly processed meat & cheese. Coffee was served with condensed milk. Fresh fruit was only served every other day alternating with a cake. There is however a very convenient and well-stocked supermarket next door but one and a good grill restaurant and laid-back cocktail bar next door which opens from around 6pm. Turn left out of the studios and there are a couple more restaurants within 10 minutes walk (the very pretty bakery Bake Someone Happy which is so much more than a bakery, beautiful breakfasts, coffee, brunches, lunches, drinks & dinners) is also on this road. Turn right out of the studios and there is La Calma where there is always a very warm welcome, amazing cocktails and good food. Straight across the road from Barbara and down a lane towards the beach is the lovely, friendly Fois restaurant. There are others places to eat too but probably more like a 35-40 minute walk away. There is also a very convenient bus stop into Argostoli outside the studios.

Barbara studio is very typical Greek studio/apartment (used to be known as Pensions) very basic but we like this about Greece. Our room was ok, beds ok small balcony overlooking the garden. Exactly opposite Barbara's is the road leading down to the small Al Helis beach, you walk past another very good restaurant on the way. Next door is a supermarket and next door to that is a very good restaurant Porto Helis. Turn left out of the studios 10 mins walk are another 2 restaurants and Grekstones car rental very reasonably priced cars. Also a must visit is Sea Salt restaurant really good food. Turn right out of studios is another restaurant. The pool is nice, clean and plenty of sunbeds, but they are very worn. I would recommend the studios but would recommend hiring a car to see the rest of the island. We ate twice at Barbars small bar area, but food wasn't very good, however plenty of other places to eat. We did not have any problems with Barbara or her family we found them welcoming and we didn't have any problems with our room or fridge. I would stay here again.
