White Donkey Hotel

what an amazing find! The White Donkey Hotel was just beautiful. Boris, Irene and Georgia couldn't have been more helpful during our stay. Food was great, rooms really lovely and comfortable and the location looking out across the sea and mountains just stunning. We wanted to go somewhere tranquil and this was perfect. Lovely beach club nearby. The hotel also helped us rent a car to explore. would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

The white donkey is far more than a Boutique Hotel. In fact, the overused "Boutique Hotel" would attract the wrong kind of guest to this special place. The words that come to mind when I think of White Donkey are; tasteful, understated, considered, calm, peaceful, unique, and truly wonderful. Amongst all those words the design, build and operation of the hotel takes into consideration the environment. The breath taking view from the entrance and the pool are the hub of the hotel and make you feel you have arrived in another world. We had a sea view suite with an incredible terrace. The beds, pillows and bedding are all very comfortable and high quality. No need to bring any bath products as the ones provided are wonderful and refillable !! Want bathrobes - these can be provided in your room at request - another nod to the environment. The gardens and paths to the rooms are planted with herbs, citrus trees and local grasses, the smell is intoxicating. I've never seen rosemary hedges before. Water is provided by the means of an osmosis filter for drinking and the pool. How wonderful to fill glass bottles rather than plastic ones that get thrown out. The breakfast provided is outstanding, I am a breakfast person and if anything, I would say there is almost too much to choose from! Coffee!!!! at last a hotel that allows guests to make their own espressos, latte's etc by providing a commercial Nespresso machine and a huge selection of pods. I am so used to having to ask for coffee to be made and paid for in all hotels. This is something other hotels could learn especially those that insist on flasks of filter coffee. The a la carte lunch by the pool is great value and of exceptional quality. I'd highly recommend going for the half board option that includes dinner for only 20 Euros each! the price made me think it may not be good. It was excellent and I can't see how the quality, quantity and choice could be provided for such a price. The main course and dessert need to be chosen at breakfast to avoid waste. Excellent local wine list again at a very reasonable price. The team that works in the hotel have clearly been handpicked and make for a truly exceptional level of discreet service. We used the shuttle provided to take us to the beach where sun beds and parasols are provided for free, the same ones as are around the pool. This is not a hotel for loud, brash folk that want to parade around in their holiday attire. It’s quiet, discreet, and tasteful. I needed a break to recharge my batteries and its exactly what I got. Ten days was just enough, would have liked to stay longer. Worth letting the hotel arrange car hire as there are some wonderful places to visit. Thank you, White Donkey, you have made a very special place in the Peloponnese.
