Finde Hotels in Phini

Went 30 December 2022 to spent the last couple of days of the year in what it supposed to be a cosy mountainous hotel set up. It was just that. A cosy refurbished old hotel in the middle of a forest, a short walking distance from Platres village. There is a huge history concerning the role the hotel played as the place for the rich and famous in the early 20th century until the end of the 80's. Royals, movie stars and wealthy individuals stayed at the hotel, photos of which are everywhere. The room was clean, the temperature was perfect and everything worked just fine. The a la cart menu offers few choices, but the food quality was above average to our satisfaction. Not expensive as well. The wine list was short and was focused to local wineries from which there was a handful of worth to try (if you are familiar with the local varieties or if you can get help from the head waiter). Excellent service at the restaurant, smiling faces everywhere and helpful staff in every corner. Taking under consideration the fact that is a facility deep in the forest, old and with a well established mountainous character, it is unfair to judge the simplicity of the design or the lack of 5 modern star building materials. You get what you pay and that is not a high end 21st century super luxury hotel. There is of course room for improvement starting from the unacceptable condition of the private road when you enter the gates heading upwards for the Hotel (about 4 hundred meters). It's totally destroyed and no maintenance have been taken place for decades. There is no lighting to help you avoid the holes so if you are not cautious your car might end up with some kind of damage. If this piece of road is part of the land that belongs to the hotel , then this is totally unacceptable. Generally though a good experience.

Dieser Ort hat eine lange Geschichte und existierte bereits in der 1950s. Da man nicht erwarten sollte, ein komplett renoviertes neues Hotel noch ein schöner kleiner Ort, nach Stundenreisen zu ruhen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und einige haben einen Balkon mit Blick auf den schönen Tal und das Olympus. Das Personal spricht Englisch und war sehr freundlich. Das Hotel ist sauber und das Alles, was Sie zum Frühstück für 6,50€ pro Person essen können, ist am besten auf der Terrasse draußen zu genießen. Die Zimmer haben keine Klimaanlage, aber ein kleiner Fan, so wird es im Sommer heiß. Wäre ganz dort wieder!

The Hotel is nestled in a beautiful valley with amazing views in all directions. Its unique style of being part of a traditional Cypriot village, with rooms in difference locations is incredible. The immediate feel of contentment, relaxation and happiness on arrival is almost without comparison. We arrived early for lunch and chose the Bryantino Cypriot restaurant; there are three other dining options. The food was superb with an excellent range of dishes. Portion sizes are good and the fresh produce was particularly welcome. Our waitress was delightful, sorry we did not get her name, and this was a great start to our stay. The Reception Team is very pleasant and all formalities are completed with no fuss with the emphasis on welcoming you to the village. We were escorted to our suite which was well appointed, warm, welcoming and very well maintained. A large balcony and small touches like a fruit plate and complimentary room bar added to the feeling of luxury. We experienced the Byzantine cafe that evening, again with excellent food and service. The village is wonderful to explore and its residents maintain the feeling that they take pleasure in welcoming you. A trip to Marathasa winery is a must with incredible views and, when we visited, three wonderful members of staff that really made the visit even more special. Do enjoy a wine flight overlooking the valley, and take some bottles away with you! The Hotel spa is very special with lots of facilities, again all very clean and well maintained. A relaxing two hours was spent here on both days and next time a treatment will be enjoyed. Dinner at Loutraki is an amazing experience, one of our best on the island. Makis is a warm and welcoming member of the Team as are the incredible chefs. The menu has elements of fusion which combined with fine local ingredients make this a world class dining experience. The theme of wonderful food is a constant at the hotel and the Executive chef and his team deserve enormous credit. The Breakfast service offers a great variety of dishes and again, wonderful friendly and attentive staff. in conclusion, what an amazing hotel with great facilities, superb dining options situated in beautiful village which makes you feel so welcome. We have already booked to return, a longer stay next time!
