Archontiko Stafylopati

The rooms are nice and clean, but why won't you let guests set the heating to 0 degrees? We're people, not bears, and we get cold. This is ridiculous, Scrooge McDuck.

The studio was clean and warm, and had a fireplace. But the room was so tiny that there was only space for the bed, so you had to stay lying down once you lit the fire. It also looked nothing like the pictures of a larger room, apparently another one they rent. If the access and the room had been described clearly, I wouldn’t have rated it so low. The climb to the house was a real struggle. Nobody told us before booking that it would be so difficult. For someone middle-aged, overweight, or out of shape, getting up there over the stones could mean a heart attack or a twisted leg. Nobody checked whether we’d want to do that exhausting climb back after returning from the tavern. Coming back at night felt like a thriller. Someone with mobility difficulties has no chance of making the climb. The house is far from the village, and it felt deserted. I’ll leave the rest to the photos.

The room was great, with good heating and a warm duvet, and the mansion's courtyard and view are both lovely. The approach is the one downside: the path is difficult and parking is limited. If your car is low, leave it on the street. Apart from that, we had a very positive stay. Thank you!

The view is breathtaking, especially when you’re sitting next to the fireplace!
