Arathena

"Hotel Arathena is a lovely small boutique hotel with friendly obliging staff and a lovely pool area. The buffet breakfast is generous & varied. The air-conditioned bedroom was very welcome in the 35°c plus heat and the balcony was lovely to sit to watch the sunsets. Though we overlooked the road, it wasn't noisy at all. We would definitely stay here again."

"Fabulous hotel, a bit quirky, great staff and atmosphere. Situated a 5 minute walk outside the centre of San Panteleo, the hotel is built into the hillside - be aware there are steps involved to access pool/breakfast/reception areas - all added to the individuality of the place. our room was spacious, spotless, big bathroom with a jetted tub (didn't use it - so can;t really comment on that). The hotel overall was very quiet and peaceful, don't expect mid afternoon aerobics and pumping techno beats. It is situated a little inland, 15/20 minutes from the coast, handy for visiting Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo for a touch of glamour. We visited a few beaches, picked for lack of crowds, which were excellent. Staff are patient, knowledgable, kind and always warm and welcoming - special mentions here for Carla, Valentina, Bruno and Tito who all went out of their way to help us enjoy our 2 weeks in room 306!"

"From start to end of our stay this hotel was excellent and will be revisited and recommended. Easy check in, a few stairs later and we were in a spacious room with a valley view. Kettle , fridge , air con, excellent shower , comfortable bed. Breakfast selection was excellent to be taken in a lovely peaceful courtyard. Magnificent cool pool amongst a peaceful area, plenty beds for all. All staff were super smiley and engaging. Owners on site , very helpful and assisting. Close proximity to the village and the hills!"
