After a long day at sea, we entered the lobby and like the hotel itself, the entrance was grand with a classical ambiance and finesse and a sense of serenity. Not like other hotels with long check-in lines, just a desk with a very welcoming and hospitable staff waiting to take us to our room. In fact, we received two calls from the concierge prior to our arrival asking when we would arrive so that he could meet us at the pier and help with the luggage. As we pulled in he was there. Attention to detail is my motto and this hotel surpassed my expectations.
I chose the VIP 2-bedroom Suite in the historic building. Our luxury suite featuring two bedrooms with king-size beds, each with an en-suite marble bathroom separated by a living and dining room. It was the perfect accommodation for 2 couples.
Enough privacy and yet a room in the center to get together in for cocktails. It came in handy before and after our nights out on the town. The room was simple with clean lines exuding exquisite luxury. We spent the late nights talking and taking in the views of the Argo Saronic Gulf and the picturesque port of Dapia from our sea-view balcony.
I had every intention of taking a swim in the pool but unfortunately never got around to it. We never got around to eating at Bostani either. It is the Poseidonion’s farm to table restaurant located a few miles from the hotel on their own farm. There is only so much you can pack into one day and we were enjoying every minute of it.
Instead, we decided on drinks at the Palm and the mixologist did such a good job we stayed for not just one but a few of their specialty cocktails. After all, we were on vacation!
The next day we would enjoy breakfast at the hotel at On the Verandah with views of the sea and Greek scrambled eggs with tomatoes or Kagianas. Each part of Greece has its own version, and this did not disappoint. There were many traditional Greek breakfast items and our waiter was more than happy to send out almost everything so that we could have a taste! I’ve eaten around the world and this was a treat!
