Racconto Boutique Design Hotel (Adults Only)

Grazioso hotel moderno e minimalista con un arredamento meraviglioso. La piscina, il bar, la zona colazione erano molto carini e sempre puliti e ordinati. La colazione era semplice ma gustosa. L'aria condizionata in camera era eccellente. L'hotel ha un'atmosfera rilassante e tranquilla e tutto il personale è efficiente e disponibile. Vale la pena notare che la camminata dalla strada principale fino all'hotel è brutale, non lunga ma molto ripida. Alcuni ospiti hanno usato un taxi, ma noi ci siamo divertiti con la sfida quotidiana!

This hotel has a very nice poolarea open until 20.00. It is a small quiet hotel. Staff in the pool area are very nice. However, it is located very far from the beach and also quite far from Parga city center. It looks close on the map but as the hotel is located up on a hill it is very steep. I hae a good stamina but yet be prepared to be very tired and sweaty each time you go up to the hotel. Prices in the hotel bar open until 24.00 were approx 4-5 Euros for a beer and 10 Euros for cocktails (8 at happy hour 18.00-20.00). You should strongly consider whether you can take taxi everyday or rent a car or choose a hotel closer to the beach. Renting a car is possible but parking slot allowed maximum 6 cars in front of the hotel gate and taxidrivers were not superhappy to turn on the narrow road outside the hotel. Taxi costs 11 Euros to Lichnos beach and 6-7 Euros to Parga city and 11 Euros to the Old town castle. Parga is extremely crowded with a lot of cars from closests nearby country and these cars have very little manners in their search for free parking along all roads in Parga making it extremely crowded in end of July lots of cars blocking the walking areas and pedestrian street (not pleasant at all after 20.00 in Parga city). Food is not the best at the hotel but affordable 10-12 Euros per dish. There were some sallads and club sandwiches to choose from. Much better food in Parga city but again very crowded after 20.00 and need for taxi or a sweaty walk. Rooms: We were in the ground floor suite and unfortunately there were ants in the bathroom throughout the whole stay despite some actions were taken by hotel. Also the layout of the rooms were generous but not optimal as there were night bed lights missing (Sockets missing) and not super smart planned when charging several iphones and need of light. We travelled through a travel agency in which the ground floor was a bit more expensive due to a primised large private terrace garden of 40 square meters with private sunbeds beloning to each room. However there were no such sunbeds when we arrived and the terrace was much smaller (maximum 15-20 Square meters) than promised in the booking. Unfortunately our room was just next to the parking area making it quite noisy everytime the cars arrived. Going to the beach: The taxi was approximetaly 20-22 Euros back and forth to Lichnos/Hotel. Sunbeds were 10 Euros for 2 beds at Lichnos. A day at the beach with Taxi and food at Lichnos beach restaurant (Coral) plus sunbeds ended up approximately 85-120 Euros for the two of us each time we went to the beach. A would give the score 3.5

The hotel was beautiful. It was very chilled and all the staff were both friendly & helpful. A special thank you to Annie, Spiros, Ruby and Ernesto. The rooms were spacious & very clean. Breakfast over looking the pool was great. Will definitely be back.
