10/10
Having spent an excellent week at the unpretentious Diamond Village I am so relaxed it has taken me over a week to engage my brain and write this! This peaceful complex is set on the hillside between Hersonissos and Piskopiano. Koutoulafari, a great place to hit for food and drinks in the evening, is only 5 minutes further walking from Piskopiano. Admittedly this location may not be for everyone but we thoroughly enjoyed our approx. 12 minute walk back from the beach and up the hill every day, and my wife is 7 months pregnant! Apartments are simple but very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well presented, and all balconies have great views. Yes, as others have pointed out, the air-con is extra. This may be a little strange but not a deal breaker - just deal with it and move on. With apartment prices this reasonable why let something this insignificant ruin your holiday? The heart of this operation, and what really makes Diamond Village a cut above others in the area, is the staff. The manager, Angela, is a brilliant, warm host who had our air-con fixed in no time when the coolant sprung a minor leak. Special mention also to Dimitri for local knowledge and Nicos for tracking down my missing sunglasses left in a taxi – both over and above the call of duty. My only minor criticism would be the length of time it took to reply to our initial emails; although, in fairness we should have sent these closer to our stay.
