Covid-19

The evolving COVID-19 pandemic has brought health and wellbeing at the forefront of all our minds, more than ever before. Vasilikia Mountain Farm & Retreat has always been dedicated to providing exemplary service and ensuring comfort, always prioritizing safety to both our guests and employees and these values, are mandating our thoughts and actions now more than ever.

Thankfully, Greece has done a great job so far in containing the pandemic and has managed to be among the first countries in Europe in terms of “flattening” the curve. With most lockdown measures lifted, we are now adjusting to the new safety measures defining our everyday lives, while the Greek government announced the opening of the tourist season on June 15. Incoming travelers will not need to take a coronavirus test or remain in quarantine but random tests may be performed. Emphasis will be given to early identification and thorough tracking of cases, locally in testing centers set up even in small places throughout Greece .

We realize that amidst this unusual period, traveling will need to continue following new rules and safety parameters. We have been therefore working hard and have put a number of measures in place to enable guests and agents to book with confidence and to rest assured that all health and safety procedures are strictly implemented on the premises of Vasilikia vacation homes this summer.

Health and Sanitation Protocol

We are monitoring the information that becomes available about Covid-19 and are closely adhering to guidance from the major official sources. An official health protocol is being currently drafted, aiming to mandate the new standards in travel within the current Covid-19 crisis, following the regulations of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

From our end, we have already enhanced our standard cleaning processes, setting a rigorous sanitation protocol, which will be dynamically modified to include any additional measures suggested by the official guidelines and which we will be implementing for all of our villas this summer.

It is our priority to make sure that our guests are happy and safe in a meticulously professionally sanitized environment, and that our staff is educated and effectively protected in the context of their work.

At the Property

All of our villas are private, independent buildings with separate, personal entrances. There are no shared spaces, and no physical contact with other tenants is possible.

All of our villas will be equipped with hand-sanitizers and cleaning disinfectant throughout the premises.

Professional cleaning and certified, eco-friendly sanitization and disinfection will take place in-between all bookings.

A rigorous daily cleaning procedure will be in place, with certified cleaning products, as well as daily disinfection of higher risk areas, emphasizing common, frequently used surfaces, such as doorknobs, keys, remote controls, and mattresses.

The outdoor spaces, and all facilities on the property are private and exclusively available to our guests. Daily maintenance of the pool and disinfection will be carried out after use.

Throughout the years, it has always been one of our distinguishing priorities to always be available for our guests during their stay. This year, more than ever, we will be supporting our guests, ready to handle any special request or attend to any of our guests’ concerns, at any time.

Our Staff

The Vasilikia team is being educated concerning new health and safety measures, due to Covid-19.

Our staff live in the property with minimal interaction with third parties.  Strictly enforced rules about the personal hygiene of on-site staff, based on the protective measures against Covid-19 recommended by WHO, such as wearing masks, hand hygiene, physical distancing, and continuous health checks to ensure the good health of the staff employed on the premises will be applied.

Should guests feel more comfortable in a staff-free environment, preferring a socially distant, private sphere, we will work out a plan, based on a minimum – or completely staff-absent stay.

Any specific cleaning/disinfecting protocols that guests may prefer, will be carefully implemented at the property.

The Private Nature of Vasilikia Mountain Farm & Retreat

Our villas are by definition a small sanctuary of privacy and seclusion. They provide for a sequestered environment, offering privacy and safety from crowds and exclusive use of all amenities. They allow families and friends to get-together and sojourn in secured, greatly-maintained private spheres.

We are staying positive and are getting ready for what will surely be the most unique summer – probably different, but hopefully more inspiring, authentic, and fulfilling than the previous ones. We know what holidays mean to you and we’ll be here to make sure you relax, recharge and dream the way they want to.
