Hotel Arathena

The Hotel is located in quiet area just a minute walk from the local village (which is gorgeous). Rooms are quite rustic without being old fashioned, they were thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis with the towels and bedding changed regularly. Breakfast was of a very high standard, with a wide and varied choice of what to eat, the members of staff all acted and worked in a very professional and friendly manner. a big shout out to Pierre (apologies if incorrect spelling), who wore tirelessly in both the bar and at breakfast service. The pool was amazing, the only let down was that some of the loungers were in need of replacing ( I did notice that some where being assembled, in a workshop downstairs). This was a very relaxing holiday, after our recent trip to India which was loud and very tiring. There were a couple of minor issues which were dealt with in an efficient manner by the hotel staff, such as an influx of ants (sorted with no fuss). A vase for putting in some fresh flowers (provided on request). The pool area can seem a bit quiet, perhaps some quiet music piped in? I did not ask. Would I return, YES in a heartbeat. The Staff were Brilliant!!!!

The best thing about this hotel are the amazing staff, who were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has a very pretty and traditional feel in a quiet location. The village of San Pantaleo has a mini market, several restaurants and an ice cream shop. It is well worth hiring a car for day trips to nearby towns and beaches.

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday in a scenic place this is for you . We had the most amazing 2 weeks . The staff are so friendly& helpful . The hotel is peaceful & relaxing with a beautiful pool area . Bedrooms are beautifully rustic & are kept very clean
