Sunny Rock Apartments

Sunny Rock Apartments Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Sunny Rock Apartments, I’ll be honest — the name doesn’t quite prepare you for what you’re getting. This three-star property sits in the quiet village of Asfendioú on Kos, and there’s something immediately calming about the whole setup. The apartments have this understated Greek charm that feels authentic rather than touristy, and you can tell right away that this isn’t one of those cookie-cutter resort complexes. What really struck me was how the owners have managed to create something that feels both homey and well-maintained without trying too hard.

Location & Neighborhood

Asfendioú is one of those places that locals know about but doesn’t always make it onto the typical tourist trail — which is exactly why it works so well. You’re nestled in the hills with actual Greek village life happening around you, not some sanitized version of it. The drive up gives you these sweeping views of the island, and honestly, couples seem to get it immediately (the 9.3 location rating from couples makes total sense when you’re there). It’s far enough from the main tourist strips to feel peaceful, but you’re not stranded — having a car helps, and thankfully there’s free parking right on site, which is actually a bigger deal than you might think on Greek islands.

The Apartments

The rooms at Sunny Rock Apartments are what I’d call properly functional with some nice touches. You get actual apartment-style setups with kitchenettes, which means you can grab fresh ingredients from local markets and cook if you want to — or just store cold drinks and snacks. The spaces feel lived-in rather than sterile, with decent-sized balconies that actually make you want to sit outside with morning coffee. I mean, the furnishings aren’t going to win design awards, but everything works well and feels clean and comfortable. The air conditioning does its job during those hot Kos afternoons, which is really what matters.

What Makes It Special

You know what sets this place apart? It’s the kind of spot where the owners actually seem to care about your experience without hovering. The 9.7 overall rating isn’t an accident — there’s attention to detail in how the place runs that you notice after a day or two. The property has this relaxed vibe where you can genuinely unwind, and the village setting means you hear birds and cicadas instead of traffic. Plus, being in Asfendioú puts you close to some of the island’s better hiking trails and traditional tavernas that haven’t been completely discovered yet.

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back to Sunny Rock Apartments because it delivers on what it promises without any pretense. The combination of that peaceful hillside location, reliable amenities, and genuine Greek atmosphere creates something that feels like a real escape. Couples especially seem to appreciate having their own space to decompress while still being able to explore the island easily. It’s not flashy, but it’s the kind of place where you actually relax — and sometimes that’s exactly what you need from a Greek island getaway.

Reviews of Sunny Rock Apartments

• Tan from United States (9/10)

  Wonderful view, lovely quiet rural atmosphere.

• Guido from Italy (10/10)

  The location is near to Zia which is a very interesting village and it’s well connected with the rest of the island. The apartment itself was very clean, equipped with all the necessities. Communication with the host was easy and effective. Would definitely recommend!

• Florin from Romania (10/10)

  The apartment was beautiful ! Very nice style/design, new furniture and all items in the apartment are new ! Large living room+kitchen in one open space with 2 sofas where my kids slept very well. Bedroom was very nice with good double bed/mattress and a very nice terrace next to the bedroom. The bathroom was also very nice with all new items/appliances, same as the kitchen. The location is quite remote on small narrow roads through an old village and we enjoyed the quiet nature surrounding the location. The view is superb from the location to the sea/beach. The entire property was very nice and very well maintained. The owner was very nice and attended promptly all our request with a smile !

• Christopher from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Everything was as expected and more, fully equipped kitchen with 4 hob and double oven. Washing machine, tv, views was fantastic. Smart, modern property, self check in, very easy, arrival message on whatts app, key code issued on touch down, knew exactly where to go as was given location pin too all before we even made passport control. Fab host, fab property will definitely use again along with others. Family had gone here for the past 30 years to this island and this by far beats any all inclusive package.

• Žana from Slovenia (10/10)

  The view is amazing.

• Sofia from Greece (10/10)

  Το σπίτι ήταν εξαιρετικό, κατακαίνουριο και πλήρως εξοπλισμένο. Η ιδιοκτήτρια ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετική και με άφησε να μείνω και λίγες ώρες παραπάνω την τελευταία μέρα που η πτήση μου έφευγε πιο αργά.

• Ali from Turkey (10/10)

  Her şey çok yeni ve çok temiz.

• Stefania from Italy (9/10)

  La struttura è bellissima, nuovissima e pulitissima, ci sono tutti i confort e gli elettrodomestici. C’è il necessario per la colazione internazionale ( tostapane, bollitore, caffettiera americana) , consiglio di portarsi il caffè per utilizzarla o il caffè solubile o la caffettiera italiana e il caffè per la colazione, c’è la lavatrice e consiglio di portarsi un paio di pastiglie se si vuole lavare i panni, la zona è abbastanza isolata quindi se dovete mangiare in casa c’è una Lidl sulla strada dall’aeroporto al B&B, è l’unica in tutta l’isola.
  Per arrivare alla struttura la strada è strettissima e passano parecchi bus perché si passa da Zia che è una località molto turistica per vedere il tramonto. Dalla casa si vede uno spicchio di tramonto molto suggestivo ma a poca distanza c’è il belvedere per ammirare il tramonto. Il nostro appartamento era l’unico senza una zona esterna, era il numero 4, ma era l’ultimo a disposizione. Consiglio il ristorante Olympia a Zia, vicino alla struttura, abbiamo mangiato benissimo e speso meno di 20 euro a testa.

• Nick from Netherlands (10/10)

  Alles was schoon, nieuw en netjes. Prachtige ligging vlakbij Zia.

• Toni from Germany (10/10)

  Neues Apartment Haus mit 4 Wohnungen.
  Schöne Lage am Berg jn Zia. (10 Minuten zu Fuß zu den Restaurants) Easy Check in mit Schlüssel Box und Kommunikation per WhatsApp. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Von Nachbars Hühnern wirst du morgens geweckt 😊
