Country Inn

Everything about this hotel is fantastic, we met fellow travellers who have been going to this hotel for more than ten years and we can see why. Eleni, Nikos and George are the perfect hosts nothing was a problem. The rooms were cleaned by one lady who left them spotless. The pool was perfect for a swim and to cool off, no problems with getting a sunbed. The views are to die for. Would we go back yes.

Great little hotel, kept very clean by all the team. Big shout out to Elina what an asset she is, always smiling will help you with anything you ask along with being a great cook. Nikos the bartender in the evenings another great guy, both so friendly. The four of us had a great relaxing 9 nights holiday here in this great little oasis of a hotel. Lovely pool and well kept grounds. We will return, was recommended to me and now I forward that to you all. Would like them to re-consider serving evening food/barbecue as they could rival any local restaurant. Yamas Yamas Yamas see you all soon. Michael, Gill, Jan & Bob.

One of the most relaxing holidays we have had. A small, quiet & friendly place to stay. Kalithea town is about a 5-10 minute walk & the pretty town/village of Afitos is a 25-30 minute walk or 5 minute car ride away. We enjoyed it so much we are booked to return in July this year.

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.

The hotel is a small hotel set on lovely landscaped grounds overlooking the sea. There is a small steep path leading down to the beach but its a difficult ascent. There is a road outside the hotel and you turn left towards kalithea town to access an easier route. The hotel has a lovely bar and breakfast area which is all glass doors looking out to the sea. The breakfast is continental style with some hot plates and it is perfectly adequate. There is no entertainment at the hotel, just a stereo system which was perfectly suitable for us. There are plenty sunbeds and no real issues with sun bed booking but invariably there are always those people who continue to book sunbeds with a towel and leave them unattended best part of the day. My room was a superior double with a balcony overlooking the sea. I felt that there was no real privacy on the balcony as there are low walls between them. In effect it means that if others use their balcony, it feels like you are sitting right next to your neighbour. The hotel should consider some screening between balconies and this would help them be much more useful and private. I personally feel this is not really a hotel suited to families with children as there is nothing there for them and very small children's pool. The pool is also very cold. The food served at the hotel was very good, especially the salads. My personal favourite was the country inn salad made with prosciutto ham. My partner loved the caprese salad with pesto. There are nice pizza , burgers etc also and the hotel has reasonable costs for food and drink. Helen and Nicholas were the staff members who we generally seen day to day. The service they provide at the hotel is outstanding. They were always smiling, friendly and helpful. Helen is an incredible worker. She was there from morning till night, through the day dealing with food, cleaning, serving at the bar. Accepting deliveries, booking people in etc etc. Despite all that, she always served food to a high standard, served drinks at the bar, never leaving you to wait any length of time. She is an absolute asset to the hotel and her friendly manner, and incredible service helped to make our holiday . I've been to places previously where there has been many more staff and they could not provide that level of service. Afytos is 6 euro by taxi each way and is a really lovely little place with lots of nice restaurants and shops. Our two places to mention there is Lithos cafe bar which has a nice vibe and a great people watching spot. Taverna Bogiata is an incredible Greek restaurant in afytos but you will either need to book or get there before 7pm. Afytos is walkable but around 25 mins from country inn hotel. If you want to walk, come to the end of the road from the hotel and turn right. Turn left for Kalithea Town which is a 15min walk. There is also a large supermarket heading to the left for Kalithea. Its a 5 min walk from the hotel. A reasonably priced restaurant that we found good wa

We have just returned from a weeks holiday. Ive never been to Greece and we both absolutely adored this small hotel. Days spent by the pool relaxing and trips out to the beach , afitos and kalithea . We loved the food and felt spoilt with the lovely breakfast every morning. We stayed at the hotel for dinner twice and it was perfect both times. Special thank you to Eleni who was always on hand and Nikos for the great cocktails. The rooms were amazing, i especially loved the large bed and the view from our room of the sea was fantastic. I wish the sea had been easier to reach but apart from that we had the best holiday and cant wait to go back.
