The hotel is very close to the old city but with better important advantages- it is on flat base with easy access and not on a steep road of the old city hill and since this flat base is on the promenade level and with no view interference you can enjoy the view of the lake. I walked up the hill and I was scared by the steep and narrow roads for those houses and locations higher than the lake level. The local inhabitants are used for it but it is not my preference. Our room had a wonderful view at the 2nd floor. But even though street wires were located at the lower part of view I recommend to take 3rd floor room for better view of lake. The room key is still an old style and less charging sockets. For the view, its short distance from old city ancient monasteries, being on the lake promenade and the reasonable price- I find it as a highly recommended hotel. The parking is in the nearby promenade street near the hotel. I asked for fresh vegetables for breakfast and tomatoes were set on my table. For dinner and lunch I can recommend on the Nostalgy restaurant about 400 hundred meters from the hotel located on the same lake promenade with lake view and very delicious food.||My general...
Read moreWe stayed at this hotel for 2 nights only since we were very limited in time frames. However we spend good time there. The rooms are not that big but you have everything you need: TV, small fridge, shower/toilet etc. TV showed only one channel but we didn;t watch it anyway. Who needs a TV here at all when you see such a beautiful landscapes???!!! ||||Breakfasts were very tasty! Thanks to the kitchen staff! I really liked Greek yogurt with peaches - absolutely delicious!!! ||||A very special THANKS TO TOULA Simaioforidou , the reception girl, very friendly and nice! She gave us a map of Kastoria, showed a really good taverna, answered all our questions about this region :) ||||The owner of the hotel have his own winery, so we had a chance to try his wine - red, white and grappa. Well, we bought it! A nice gift set of 2 bottles costs 12 EU as I remember. ||||They also have a very nice terrace at the lake so you can drink coffee watching pelicans and seagulls.||||We really enjoyed that hotel and place. And you know what? This is the first place in Greece I want to visit again - they have so many things to see, and I think 1 week will be OK for this beautiful...
Read moreAfter the agitation in Thessaloniki I loved being able to rest in Kastoria. The hotel at the end of the promenade, overlooking the perfectly quiet lake was very much welcome. The rooms are spacious with balconies and well-appointed bathrooms. Breakfast was good.There is a terrace to enjoy drinks on the lake throughout the day. There' is free parking outside the hotel.||The temperature outside was so cool !. One morning I was able to walk around the lake (8km) stopping by the Monastery Panagia Mavriotissas on the way. On other days I walked along the lake in the other direction and was able to make photos of cormorants and the rare Dalmatian pelicans. By the way, the place is also a nice starting point for a day outing to Lake Prespa at the border with Albania. ||What is missing ? The decoration is very old-fashioned. Also there is no good restaurant close by, so I had to drive to the other side of the island to find the best...
