We had two wonderful weeks at Bougainvillea in July and have already booked to go again next year. I'm very surprised by the negative comments, particularly about Yiannis as we found him to be very friendly, he always worked very hard, especially on Greek night (every other Tuesday)and only seemed to want the best for his guests. In the first week we only ate there once at night and just had snacks during the day, but this didn't seem to change his attitude towards us at all. We were staying in the "damp" basement apartment and found it so refreshingly cool that we've requested it again next year. The whole complex was kept to a very high standard and the pool was always beautifully clean.
The food in the restaurant was excellent and very reasonably priced (we actually ate there 5 times) and I can honestly say we found it the best place to eat in the whole of Agios Sostis. They had a children's menu which my ten-year-old daughter enjoyed very much and none of us had a bad meal there - which can't be said of some of the other places we went to!
If you're thinking of going here please don't be put off by some of the negative reviews - we can't wait to go again!

Hi Louchie I stayed at Bougainvillea last July (you can see my review in the restaurants section) and I'm going again in just over 5 weeks, I was wondering if they still do their Greek nights? They were once a fortnight on a Tuesday, so you might have missed it if you were only there for a week. I'm glad you had a good time, we can't wait to go again and see Yiannis, Linda "little Yianni" and Athena again, though Elvis must be new! Thanks, Gwyneth

Just had another two wonderful weeks at Bougainvillea with Yiannis and Lynda.  The rooms have all been upgraded with air conditioning and there are more tables in the restaurant area.  The food was as great as last year and just as good value.  I still don't accept the negative comments from other reviewers, all guests are treated in a very friendly way, especially the children!!  Once again I urge anyone thinking of going here not to be put off - go and see for yourself!  Also I think it is very wrong to wish ill on someone else's livelihood, especially when so unjustified!  

Well Gerry, all I can say is that I'm very glad I was able to have a fantastic holiday two years running - relaxing in beautiful surroundings, eating delicious food (which was no more expensive than any other restaurant in the area, and I was on a budget too) and best of all enjoying great company and getting a taste of the real Greece and Greek hospitality.

We've just booked to go for our third time - can't wait.   Yiannis and Lynda are not with with Manos this summer but you can book directly with them through their website www.bougainvillea.gr

Hi Martin

You can email them on  info@bougainvillea.gr but all their contact details are on their website  www.bougainvillea.gr   They're also on the Gozakynthos website under hotels - there's a link on the Justzante homepage.  Hope that's some help. 

Yamas!  

We've just got back after our third visit and it was as wonderful as always.  It was great to see everyone again and the new building (see photo) I'd love to have seen Yianni cracking the whip over those builders - they should get him at the airport!   The food, the beautiful surroundings, the wonderful company was as excellent as ever and it was great to meet up with a few familiar faces again, Jane, Bob, the Durham crowd (hi Kate ) and to meet some new ones!

Been back a week now and can honestly say I have never seen the island looking more beautiful.  Everywhere was so green and fresh and the weather was wonderful.  Soft sunshine like an English spring day, I went for a walk every morning down the lane through the olive groves, covered in a green carpet.  The beach was deserted but so peaceful and most places were closed, but we were staying at our favourite place on the island so it was still lively, particularly at night, when they lit a gorgeous fire to keep us all warm

I would love to go back again next October, or May or June.....  You get the idea

Yamas  

We're off to Bougainvillea again in just under nine weeks, can't wait!  I've lost count how many times we've been now, but it gets better and better each time
