Lovely, with very pretty, simple villa rooms. Clean, pleasant, efficient. In this enchanting little town built by the Venetians, and still with an Italianate feel', this civilised little B&B villais an old house, ochrewalled and with blue shutters, in the old, traffic-free area of the port, at the foot of Citadel Hill. The cheaper villa rooms (on the second and third floors) are modestly furnished and lack air-conditioning, but have great views through tall windows over pantiled roofs to the gulf. Smarter villa rooms, with oriental rugs, wooden floors, antique furniture, a minibar and a vaulted, beamed ceiling, lack the view but are comfortable and elegant. All have an efficient bathroom. Some have a private patio. Some beds may be small. Drinks, and a `very good' Bali villa breakfast (home-made jam, lovely croissants, newly baked bread, fresh orange juice), are served on a pretty terrace amid geraniums and bougainvillaea. Management was found `taciturn' this year. No restaurant; plenty nearby.

The Spiliopoulos family's quite large, modern villa(Best Western), I composed of several large, white, balconied buildings, stands on a hill above ancient Olympia, overlooking the lovely valley. A delightful location. A visitor over many years calls it a haven of comfort, with charm and friendliness: tremendous value for a quality of accommodation that we have not seen bettered in our visits to mainland Greece'. It has marble everywhere', and `civilised villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) with effective air-conditioning some villa rooms have a split-level sitting area. Many look over the `first-rate swimming pool'. Service is unobtrusive but kind. Drinks prices reasonable. Excellent buffet Bali villa breakfast. The restaurant and outdoor taverna serve standard Greek food and international dishes. Some upmarket coach tours.
