We booked this hotel based upon Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. If you are coming by car your arrival can be a bit fraught as there is nowhere to pull in. You will find yourself in a one-way street, and (usually) patient fellow drivers soon queue up behind you while you frantically try to unload your luggage! However, the hotel staff are used to this situation and rapidly step in to assist. Indeed, within minutes you and your vehicle are whisked off to a nearby car park where it can rest for the remainder of your stay, and you can let your blood pressure abate! The house is an immaculately restored C19 building with plenty of wood and ironwork all set against soft blue pastel shades, and furnished in period style. We were fortunate enough to have booked the One-Bedroom Suite with Sofa Bed which is a splendid room complete good bathroom, small lounge with sofa together with the added benefit of a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard. In good weather breakfast is taken in the sunlit courtyard, which is lovely, otherwise in the small comfortable lounge. Breakfast includes a range of unique Greek fare, including the ubiquitous filo pastry pies (which I love), but unfortunately (as with so many hotels) the undertray heaters are never sufficient to keep the food piping hot. Mind you, their hot chocolate is to die for! Spiros and his team make the place tick. They are efficient, courteous and very helpful with making excursion tips, restaurant reservations etc. All the practical aspects of a enjoyable stay are also present as well – car parking, lift, laundry, extra pillows, reliable reception staff – things that, if they are not present, you don’t half notice! Thoroughly recommended
