Villa Ariston

Fabulous location Good restaurant and very nice breakfast

Parking was awkward No facility for making hot drinks in room

Lovely old villa overlooking the ocean. Rooms have all been recently updated and are beautifully decorated. Modern bathrooms. Our room was quite small but very comfortable and cosy and had a desk area as well. A stones throw from the sea with easy access for swims right in front of the hotel, and right on the beachfront path which stretches for many kilometers in either direction. The food was really delicious, both dinners and breakfast were fabulous. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Nothing

Wonderful Villa, a delight, gorgeous setting. Understated elegance. Yummie breakfast. It all makes the guest feel special, staff is lovely. Highly reccoment it.

I think the restaurant (lunch and dinner), is under new management or has a different chef. I understand it's not run by the Villa so separate. None of the photos of the photos of food here resemble the food on the menu. And unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations.

The location is on a cliff over looking the bay And lovely gardens. The diving platform to the sea is a lovely plus.

My only issue was the restaurant. Although it is intertwined with the hotel it’s not actually the same business. So you have a failure point which in my case tarnished the stay a little bit. The owner decided it was appropriate to be rude and surly with me one day for using his tap to fill my water bottle. His ego was exposed and let himself and the restaurant down and in the hotel. I did report the incident as disappointing and got the impression such had happened before. But the hotel won the day with guest experience and service. Bravo.
