Country Inn

I almost don’t want to say how good the Country Inn is and want to keep it secret to make sure there are rooms available for us to go back! It is only a small hotel in that it only has 18 rooms but the rooms are a good size and the grounds to the hotel are extensive and kept well. We arrived at 3pm and were shown to our room which was far better than others we have stayed in Greece. Air conditioning and safety deposit box both free, good size balcony with pool view and cleaned daily. We really enjoyed breakfast everyday and the choice suited us perfectly. The pool is large and the beds are plentiful and arranged around the grounds so you are not like sardines around the pool and you could get beds at anytime of day so no scrambling or people reserving which was great. There is a path from the hotel to the beach but it doesn’t belong to the hotel and it is not very safe. There is a road to the beach about 5 mins walk which was easier. The area - there is a large supermarket a few mins walk and if you go a bit further there is quite a large centre with lots of places to eat but it is quite commercial we also went into Afytos which was €6 in a taxi which the hotel rang for us, it was much more quaint there. Back to the hotel - it is so welcoming we stayed by the pool most days and met some lovely people so it was a really lovely atmosphere. The staff - fabulous, the lovely Eleni looked after everyone from breakfast right through to drinks in the night. She makes lovely lunches and we ate in one evening and again lovely food prepared by her. We also used to make our way back to the hotel and have a few drinks in the bar later on and Eleni doesn’t do small measures and always served everything with a smile. Nikos was fun around the bar and made fantastic golden margaritas and put the premier league football on for us when we asked. George the owner comes and checks on everything and always has time for a chat if you want to. Just hope we can return next year.

What a wonderful place. The hotel is exceptional with lovely, warm and friendly hosts, Eleni and Nikos. The rooms were perfect. We had a view of the pool but it looked like every room had either a beach or pool view. Eleni's cooking was as good as any of the restaurants we visited in Afytos. The walk into Afytos was about 30 mins, or a taxi ride (booked by the hotel) would be 6 euros. It is definitely worth a trip to the beach, either down the track behind the hotel, or walking the longer way round. Just be careful if using the track. The sea itself is like one big open air swimming pool and absolutely wonderful to swim in. Overall, an exceptional hotel and a great holiday. Thank you Eleni and Nikos!

We visited at the end of August and after a stressful journey, arrived to this beautiful little place. We were blown away by the panoramic views of the stunning turquoise and sapphire sea. The pool area is peaceful and relaxed and well equipped with a mix of padded and rafia beds, and there were plenty to go around. The bar area and restaurant has the most stunning view across the water and it was a beautiful place to sit for breakfast and a cocktail in the early evening. Our room was basic and a little tired but had everything we needed and a comfortable bed. There is a path to the beach which isn't managed by the hotel and is a little hairy to get down but you can also get to the beach by the road as a safer option. The beach was extremely busy while were there and beds are very cramped so we spent our time by the pool. Something to bear in mind if you visit at this time of year. Breakfast was basic but acceptable. It would've been nice to have the option of eggs to order but there was plenty of everything else - breads, fruit, ham, cheese - and the the coffee was good. The staff are absolutely wonderful - thanks to Eleni for service with a smile at breakfast, noon and evening! Nothing is too much trouble. We loved that the hotel hasn't been expanded too much and has retained its personal touch. If you're considering visiting, I'd definitely recommend.

The Country Inn is the perfect oasis where you can just relax and enjoy the beautiful view and the peace and quiet. The place is spotlessly clean and rooms are cleaned daily. Everyone who works there are so kind and friendly. The food is great, breakfast has a good choice and lunches are delicious especially the tuna salad and club sandwiches. The steps at the back of the hotel lead down to the beach but be careful and wear trainers as its very uneven. Kalithea is about 10 minutes away, it has lots of restaurants and bars but is quite " touristy" which isn't really our thing . There are some nice restaurants down by the beach especially Delfina at the end who served us the best sea bass and cheesecake.( cash only). Afytos is a 20 minute walk in the other direction. Some go by taxi but if you're realitively fit it's an easy walk. It's a lovely place full of restaurants and places to drink. Much more traditional Greek and more upmarket. Recommend the sunset cruise that you can book with the Jet2 rep at the hotel.

Hotel looks fantastic on arrival, rooms are very clean and looked after, they’re cleaned daily and fresh towels are put in the bathroom every day. It is a very relaxing environment so perfect for anyone wanting to just put their feet up and relax. The restaurant area is very spacious however the only downside is the food has very limited options and doesn’t seem to change much on a day to day basis which was the only thing that I was left disappointed with staying here. Location is great as Afitos is either 20/25 minutes walk or a 2/3 minute drive with a taxi firm that only charges €6.00, this is a must place to visit especially in the evening with the sun going down and all the beautiful restaurants.

Stayed at The Country Inn for ten nights end of June/beginning of July. Loved every second of it. Hotel is spotlessly clean, lovely spacious room (201) with a pool and partial sea view. Food in the hotel is excellent, breakfast more than adequate and lunch and dinner menu is really good if you want to stay around the hotel anytime. The moussaka was as good as we ate at any restaurant. Lovely relaxing pool area with amazing sea views through the trees. Never struggled to get a sunbed. Hotel is situated between Kallithea and Afitos. Not that keen on Kallithea to be honest but Afitos is beautiful and is six Euros in a taxi from the hotel. The staff are fantastic and really do go the extra mile. We can’t wait to rebook. Met some really lovely people whilst we were there. Jules and Guy and Julie and Steve. Thanks for a great holiday.

The Country Inn is a fantastic hotel with lovely grounds and wonderful sea views. Our room was very comfortable and was kept spotlessly clean as the cleaner came in each day. The pool area is beautiful with plenty of sunbeds and chairs. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated perfectly, with the beach and Kallithea only minutes away. We went into Afytos a few times and this was only €6 in a taxi which the staff at the hotel kindly booked for us each time. We had a lovely, relaxing holiday and we will definitely return and stay at the Country Inn.

Just returned yesterday - Absolutely loved these apartments and surroundings - most amazing view from restaurant - room was modern and spotless. cleaner came in every day x short walk into Kallithea and 6.00 euros into Afytos. So good booked for next year. Thank you for a lovely experience, so chilled and relaxing.

Amazing small hotel with stunning views. Gorgeous 20 minute walk to the next village which is stunning. Rooms spacious and cleaned daily perfect week away would definitely come again. Staff were amazing helpful and friendly food was fine not loads of choice but more than adequate.
