Karvouno Villas hosts beach weddings of up to 50 seated guests, receptions of up to 100 on the pool terrace and beach, and small conferences or team events, on a private cove in Sivota, Greece. Three beachfront villas sleep up to 20 guests for a wedding and ten bedrooms in all, so the same site can hold the ceremony, the reception and the stay.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents the villas as a venue for mini-conferences, parties, social events and small team-building days. It does not give a seating plan or a conference room, so a business program here is a small-group format. The living rooms of the villas, the garden and the beach are the working spaces, and the team helps plan the event on request. Wi-Fi is included in each villa, and a sound system is available.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main event offer. The beach venue seats up to 50 guests facing the Ionian Sea, with lanterns, candles and ribbons arranged to the couple's wishes. The pool area and the beach together hold up to 100 guests for the reception, from a private dinner to a beach party. The team plans the day from the first idea to the last detail, and the services listed include help with legal papers, ceremony and reception decoration, a choice of menus, a DJ, a photographer, flowers, a hairdresser and beauty services, children's entertainment, babysitting, live broadcast over the internet, car hire, bachelor party planning and boat trips for up to 20 people.
An Orthodox ceremony takes place in one of the churches and chapels of Sivota, not on the property. The site advises booking a church early and recommends St. George, a church on a hill with views.
Rooms and capacities
The venue has three villas on the beach. Villa Michail has 110 square meters, two bedrooms and sleeps up to 5, in a garden of 800 square meters. Villa Alexandra has 180 square meters over two floors, four bedrooms and sleeps up to 10. Villa Andriana has 180 square meters over two floors, four bedrooms and sleeps up to 9.

Each villa has its own pool, a steam room, a fully equipped kitchen, two living rooms with one set up as a home cinema, air conditioning in every space and gym equipment.
Accommodation
Ten bedrooms are spread over the three villas. For a wedding, the site states a maximum of 20 overnight guests across the three villas. Daily maid service runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and there is a reception service, a laundry space, parking and a floating dock for boats. A private chef, a waiter, massage and a personal trainer are available on request at an extra charge.
Catering
A beach bar and restaurant sits on the cove and is open from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Menus for weddings are tailored to the event and chosen from a range. A private chef can also cook in the villas on request.
