Castri

The quiet, recently refurbished hotel was spotless and comfortable, just right for a restful stay in Delphi. I came for eight days to finish my book and asked for a desk and a good view. They gave me a beautiful room looking out over the mountains and sea, which I found inspiring. The staff and owner were so kind and attentive. After hearing I eat gluten-free, they even went out to buy breakfast items for me. Every exchange felt warm and came with a smile. I couldn't have asked for a better place to write.

The balcony view is stunning, and the location is very convenient with lots of parking. Our room was comfortable and spacious, with a cozy bed and toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was the problem. The boiled eggs had completely blue yolks, the coffee was instant, and the cold cuts were poor quality. Cherry tomatoes were the only vegetables, and most looked bad, with black mold spots, drying, or wrinkling. Out of five, there might be one decent one. There was some fruit, but we didn't try it, and the only bread was yellow.

The views here were absolutely stunning, and the light breakfast was excellent. We were also close to the archaeological sites and restaurants, which mattered to us. We spent two nights at this low-key gem during a research trip. The rooms were a bit small, though nothing unusual for Greece. Of the hotels we stayed in across the country, this was my favorite.

We had such a lovely stay, thanks to the kind people here. We were leaving early for the 6:30am bus to Kalambaka and would miss breakfast, but the receptionist offered to have someone prepare food for us to take on the bus. Our first night's room was just right, with a wonderful sunset view on a clear sunny evening. We originally booked one night and stayed for two. Breakfast was simple but filling: eggs, breads, butter, jams, chocolate spread, ham and cheese, cakes, biscuits, and fruit. It kept us going all afternoon while we explored.
