My family and I (two girls, 9 and 11) have just returned from an amazing two weeks in Lefkada, including two nights in Hotel Odeon. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to any type of traveller, and particularly to families. Spiros provided such a warm welcome after we arrived by local bus from Nydri. He saw that the girls were tired after a long ride (we were 'backpacking' with the kids) and gave them a glass of orange juice on the house straight away. We were immediately shown to our room on the top floor; a beautiful newly-converted and clean space. We stayed in Room 36, which sits the entire length of part of the building and so has north and south views from two separate balconies. The south view is from the main bedroom and looks out over the lovely new bar/café and gardens straight out to the sea and the amazing landscape. North is the view from the kitchen/lounge area where the girls were staying on a great big converted sofa. Each room has its own bathroom, which the girls loved. ||||The bar/café is a very modern, chilled place to sit day or night looking out to sea and watching the world go by with great music and lovely food. The breakfast is brilliant, and is clearly made and delivered with care. Everything you can hope for is included, with pastries, fresh fruit and yoghurt, cereals, continental breakfast and warm items as well. We have been to Greek islands in many hotels for the past four years and this is certainly the best breakfast we've tasted so far.||||The pool at the front of the hotel, while on the main road, is still perfect for kids and the sun loungers offer a welcome rest. You do not notice the traffic at all as Vassiliki is a relatively small town. We were all really impressed with the vibe of the place, being a combination of beautiful small marina town (c800m east - a 10 min walk), a shore full of cool bars and watersports clubs (right in front of the hotel on the clean and peaceful boardwalk) and traditional tavernas (c300m west in Ponti).||||We absolutely loved our stay at Odeon. Spiros kindly drove us back to the bus stop for our return to Nydri, which was a very generous gesture. We even popped back in when we were driving around the island again in the second week, as our eldest had left some items in the room. Spiros found them and returned them to us, and we spent the rest of the day in the wonderful town.||||A fantastic jewel in lovely Vassiliki and one we would return to in a flash. Thanks to all the team for...
Read moreAfter a 24-day tour of Croatia, Turkey and Greece, we ended our vacation by spending four additional days at Lefkada's Odeon Hotel. What a terrific ending to our trip! The hotel was perfect in every way -- a fantastic and sparkling clean accommodation (our room had a great balcony, very comfortable bed, two updated and gorgeous bathrooms, a kitchenette and living area), convenient location, access to shopping and restaurants. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful! My husband fell while hiking and while he was not seriously injured, his head bled profusely and his favorite summer shirt looked absolutely ruined. Zoi and her laundry staff pulled off a miracle and the shirt came back to us looking brand new! The cafe was beyond amazing -- awesome food and a remarkable number of fresh and delicious choices. And like with the hotel, the cafe staff were attentive, professional and terrific people. The view of the beach was to-die-for! The pool, the bikes, the beach, the boardwalk -- we definitely weren't ready to leave paradise and return to the US! We will definitely return to Hotel Odeon...
Read moreMy client has just returned from the Odeon Hotel and has asked me to leave her review on TA:||Marion and I have never stayed at such a warm and hospitable hotel, it was rather like staying with extended family. The first evening we asked if they could order us a taxi into Vassiliki and Spiros said not necessary as Papa would take us as he did every evening without charging us. We always got a taxi home rather than bothering Papa again, unbelievable. Every time we ordered tea, coffee or drinks they gave us complimentary cake of nuts. Our room was like an apartment, spacious and beds were comfortable. The showers were however a bit old fashioned but we managed We had an amazing sea view, it was wind surfing paradise and the sea was warm and very calm. We highly recommend...
