Overview
Situated beneath the Venetian fortress on a narrow promontory, Cavos Inn offers a tranquil retreat in the charming village of Assos. Owned by Vasso, hailing from Crete, and her Kefalonian husband, Vassilis, this family-run pension is celebrated for its stunning views of the Lixouri peninsula and exceptional hospitality. The inn boasts thoughtfully designed rooms, twins or doubles, each tastefully furnished in various styles with light fabrics. All rooms feature en-suite facilities and private balconies or patios. Those facing south offer breath-taking views, seemingly perched over the waves, while west-facing rooms overlook old vine terraces, pine woods, and the historic Venetian castle's golden walls. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Assos at the Cavos Inn, where tranquility and picturesque vistas await.
The Cavos Inn perfectly encapsulates the essence of Assos-a tranquil, unspoiled fishing village protected by a historic castle, all nestled along a majestic and rugged coastline. On occasion, you might even spot dolphins or turtles in the surrounding sea, so it's advisable to have a pair of binoculars handy. The breakfast terrace offers spectacular panoramic views of this beautiful coastline, providing a serene and gentle start to your day.
