Anna Studios

What a great place to stay this is, wonderfully peaceful, clean and friendly. no queuing for sunbeds, waiting ages at the bar or for food. Yanis was a great host and very helpful. Kostas the afternoon barman is a bit of a character, loves his rock music. A special mention must go to Sanna, who runs the bar in the day and does wonders in the little kitchen producing the food. They are a credit to the hotel. Pythagorion is a 5 min cab ride away and only costs 6 euros. hardly worth walking. lol. We attended the BBQ at the hotel, had a great time and drunk quite a bit. (nothing new there). if you are considering any other hotel in Pythagorion then i urge you change your mind and stay at this gem, you won't be disappointed.

Peaceful quiet relaxing stay. We stayed in jasmine apartment by the pool. The lovely cleaning lady worked so hard, our room and the place was spotles. Host very welcoming and went out his way to make us have a perfect stay. Lovely guy (Kosta) in the evening at the bar and he does the cooking. 10 mins walk from local supermarket. 25 mins from local town and harbour. Beaches 10 min walk. Samos lovely place and friendly people. Two lovely pools although we stayed at the one outside our door. Such a relaxing stay even had the pool to ourselves, as everyone favoured the pool by the bar. I highly recommend Villa Anna and Jasmine apartments 10/10

We went to Samos for a wedding end of July, booked through Ebookers and they totally messed up our booking. Yannis wasn't given the correct informtion for our booking so it wasn't his fault, but he did everything to try and reslove someone elses problem. We had a great time while staying there, very friendly atmosphere. Accomadation is good has everything you need and great location 20 min walk from the water front or 3 min by car, yes it's near th airport but it's not busy so noise isn't a problem. We would definately stay again, value for money, if you want 5* accomadation, then go somewhere else and pay 5* prices. Thank you Yannis for making our stay fantastic, looking forward to seeing you again looking forward to more cold beer!!

Booked a holiday at Anna Studios & Jasmine Apartments through TUI who have given them a 3T rating (assuming that's their equivalent of a 3*) and have therefore priced accordingly. At the time of booking you can't specify which of the two you'd like to stay in so if you're lucky enough to be allocated on arrival a room in Anna then you'll definitely be in 3T accommodation. However if you're unlucky and get allocated the Jasmine Apartments you'll find they are extremely basic, dated and tatty looking so be warned, you could be paying 3* prices for 2 star accommodation. They can in no way be classed as 3T/3*; even the Greek Tourist Board only rate them as 1 - 2 star for Tourist Tax purposes.

Samos Airport is not particularly big, and we went through Security / Customs fairly quickly. The longest wait was on the transfer bus. The transfer time is less than 5 mins once the bus set off. Unusually 5 British couples got off at Anna Studios and there was quite a queue for the rooms. Fortunately, my wife was first off the bus, and we got the room that Yannis promised us; Room 6 on the ground floor. The queue did not last long and everyone had a room card within five minutes of arrival due to the efficiency and preparation of Yannis on reception. The reception has moved and was ably supported throughout the day by either Yannis or Aspa, both exceptional and happy hosts. When we had an issue with the TV remote, Yannis fixed it very quickly. The room was basic, but what do you need from a bedroom. The fridge was cold and fit for purpose and the shower and curtain was good and the beds comfy. Clean towels every other day and a room refresh by a very friendly cleaner. My only very minor, minor moan was lack of storage, but we used the spare bed which met our needs; we always take too many cloths and stuff! Air con and safe was €75 (cash) for 7 days. The pool was great, did tend to get some debris due to the abundant foliage, lemon, and lime tress. However a quick turn on the pumps and the pool cleared very quickly; this never caused a problem, and the pool was nearly in use and was a social place to talk to other couples. The pool was cleaned every other day whilst we were there. The pool itself was extremely refreshing due to the hot daytime temperatures. There was never a fight for sunbeds and the sunbeds were comfortable. The hotel has many nationalities staying including British, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Dutch. The hotel bar was well managed by Sanna in the day and Constantine at night. Sanna has an infectious bubbly personality, and both were very eager to please and nothing was too much trouble. The Mythos was especially welcomed at a cost of €5 a 500ml bottle, in a glass straight out of the freezer; the crisps was also a nice addition. The beach was a 10-minute walk if you used the short cut just after the bridge. The beach was small pebbles, and the sun beds was €10 for two. Almyra, is a nice little restaurant just off the beach forming part of the Fito Aqua Bleu Resort. Service was quick and the food good. Pythagorio, a fantastic hub of bars and restaurants is a €6 taxi cab or 15-minute walk. A massive thank you to Yannis, Aspa, Sanna and Constantine, we will definitely see you next year

Spent another week in the heat at Jasmin Studios. Warmly greeted by Yannis and Aspa on arrival and given a welcome drink. Studio was cleaned every day by the friendly cleaner. We had a problem with our toaster which was resolved immediately without fuss. We love the rustic charm of this place and will be back! The mix of different nationalities staying at the hotel also appealed to us - English, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Dutch to name but a few! Thanks again Yannis. See you next year! Bill and Carin
