We stayed for 12 nights at Saraya with bed and breakfast. Our room tucked away in a nice quiet corner and the balcony was mostly facing the pool/pool bar/rest of the hotel & mountains, but we did have a nice view of the sea/castle on one side as well. The room itself was perfectly fine, it was a room that would have slept 3 (a single bed and a large double) but there was only 2 of us so we didn’t use the single. The room was cleaned every day. It had a small kitchenette with a hob/fridge/kettle & utensils. The bathroom was a little small but not a major issue, the shower actually had hot water and reasonable pressure which is a novelty in our experience of Greece! The breakfast was lovely, lots of variety with cooked options (different types of eggs) and continental options. There was usually fresh bread, pies & pastries, as well as fruit, yoghurt, cereals, cheeses etc. Myself and my partner are both vegetarians and we didn’t have any issue at all with the food. My personal favourite was the small dishes of rice pudding & cinnamon which I think was homemade - very nice and comforting! There was also some fresh sponge cakes (sometimes warm!) which we both enjoyed. The pool was lovely and quiet most of the time which was perfect for us - we only spent a couple of full days at the pool (we are mostly beach goers) and on those days it was very relaxing. The pool area (and the hotel in general) was very well maintained and clean, and the gardens/plants/flowers in the grounds were really beautiful. The staff at the pool bar were always really friendly and pleasant. The hotel hosted a barbecue and traditional live music night during our stay - we didn’t attend (barbecues are not usually suitable for vegetarians unfortunately) but we did see and hear some of the live music from our balcony later in the evening and it sounded fantastic along with some info from the musician about the local music traditions etc. The location of the hotel is very convenient - the beach and tavernas are only a 10 minute walk away. A bus stops a little further along the main road, perhaps a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel at most. Thank you for a lovely relaxing holiday!
