Located in a corner of rare natural beauty with tiny coves, green hills and deserted beaches, the aptly named Retreat offers an idyllic haven from hectic modern life.

Around a ten minute walk from the bustling harbour of Sivota, The Retreat clings to the side of a tree-covered coastal hillside. Its various buildings are linked by numerous steps and paths leading down to the shores of the Ionian Sea. A collection of beaches forms the edge of our watersports area and a shallow sand bar makes it possible to wade across to the tiny uninhabited island of Mourtemeno.

Throughout the hotel grounds great attention has been paid to landscaping with an abundance of flowers and trees adding to the natural beauty of the setting.

We were in Sivota between 20th-27th October 2009.
When my husband booked this holiday we had no idea it was an activity break. We booked it 2 weeks before we went it was my birthday present.We go abroad 2-3 times a year and basically chase the sun around the beach. Wow this was fantastic. You dont have to take part in the activities and there is no presure at all so we decided to relax. After 2 days of watching from the beach we had a go at Kayaking. The next day we went on the kayak safari it was brilliant. The staff were fantastic to name a few Eric, Christine, Luke, Elliot, Debbie and the resturant staff were so helpful and friendly. I would not hesitate to return here. The food was Fab and I would recommend this holiday to all our friends but watch out for the hundreds of steps but they are worth it.

Sivota 21 June - 5 July
Great holiday and beautiful setting. A special thanks to the beach team Will, Andy, Ali, Emma, Heather, Simon et al. who were always helpful, provided some great tuition (particularly Andy who had us all up and windsurfing after the first lesson - albeit with less style than we hoped)and they always had a smile in the morning. We didn't see our 12 year old son for the second week after we persuaded him to join the kids club and he's already organising with his new friends to meet up at Sivota again. Waterskiing and wakeboarding were a big hit with our boys and the pontoon team were excellent as well as providing an 8.00 alarm call in the morning. Entertainment from Tommy deserves a mention, providing us with many enjoyable evenings over the 2 weeks - no song request was too challenging although the Michael Jackson tribute came close.
Living in hilly rural Scotland we didn't find the walk to the village very demanding - Hill of Death Hah!
Food was good, service in the restaurant and bar was top spec and we've all come back casting slightly larger shadows than we did when we arrived.
We'll be back.

First Neilson holiday - probably one of the best holidays you can take. Fantastic resort, though be prepared for steps. I was really impressed by the relentless enthusiasm of all the staff. We spent most of our time on the beach, where everyone was friendly and helpful. Special credit has to go to Simon, who led us through all our dinghy sessions, from beginners to winners. Excellent teacher, patient and amusing. Also Andy on the windsurfs, persistently up-beat, pulling us through our course. Thanks to everyone, will see you on the next holiday.
