Hotel Arathena

As a smaller hotel, they were able to provide service at poolside which was lovely. Staff were welcoming and the breakfast was good.

O hotel é excelente, quarto silencioso, cama e travesseiros confortáveis, roupa de cama e toalhas de qualidade, café da manhã maravilhoso - com destaque para os bolos e biscoitos, equipe, atendimento e limpeza nota mil. O hotel é lindo e possui uma área de lazer belíssima. Sem contar no vilarejo que ele fica localizado que é uma graça. Possui estacionamento gratuito na rua e restaurantes próximos para se deslocar a pé. Nossa estadia foi perfeita! Grazie Arathena! Fomos muito felizes aí!

The staff was wonderful, the hotel was small, quiet, exceptionally clean and I would recommended it to friends and family in a heartbeat

Location and breakfast setting is lovely. Buildings are lovely and interior design is nice

Wunderschönes Hotel mit tollen Mitarbeitenden. Das Frühstück war sehr gut sowie der kleine Poolbereich hat gut gefallen. Alles sehr stimmig.

The hotel is located in a nice town and the service is really nice, but that's it.

Nagyon hangulatos szállás, csendes, gyönyörű környezetben, közel San Pantaleo főteréhez.
A kiszolgálás elsőrendű, a személyzet nagyon kedves.
Életünk legjobb reggelijét ettük: jó minőség és nagy választék.

Central location in the pretty very small town.

Schöne Lage und ein schönes kleines gemütliches Hotel. Saubere Zimmer und der Pool einfach schön

I’m on my last night of a weeks holiday at the hotel and writing this while it’s fresh in my mind. The hotel is lovely, very pretty and quiet especially at the end of season. There are quite a few steps to most rooms, I’m on the first floor and there’s one set of stairs which is fine for me but could be a problem for some with mobility issues if on a higher floor. The breakfast area, bar and reception are all close as this is a very small hotel.
I’m in a standard room with a shared balcony which overlooks the very quiet road and hills in the distance, perfect for me as I’ve sat out quite often and haven’t seen many people or cars passing. My room has plenty of space and the bathroom has a walk in shower. The only things missing really are English tv channels and a kettle, I love a cuppa and have borrowed the kettle from my Daughters superior room, standard rooms don’t have kettles. The rooms are kept clean every day and have lovely cool air conditioning. Stock from the mini bar is chargeable so we purchased water from the local shop and kept it in the mini bar.
There’s one local shop which is open until 1pm and then 5-8 pm.
There are several cafes and restaurants in the town which is just a 5 minute walk away on a flat road.
We did book most nights but also managed to get a table when we didn’t book.
We like a pizza and the only place we found that did them was Ichnos pizzeria, via Zara 54, we ate there most nights as found it very reasonable.
The market in the town on Thursday mornings until 1pm is good, lots of stalls with fabulous clothes.
The town has lots of boutiques, expensive but high quality.
If you like hiking there is a path that leads into the hills behind the hotel, we had a good long walk/climb up there and the views were worth it.
Reception staff were very helpful, breakfast is 8-10 and was sufficient, buffet style. The bar with a small selection of snacks is available from 3pm daily which we only used once for a drink as we found it a late time to start serving, this also put us off using the pool as we had no drinks. The pool itself is small but nice but no atmosphere due to no music and the close proximity to others although not many seemed to use it daily.
There are no beach towels so bring your own if you plan on visiting the beach.
The beach is a drive away, we hired a car for a few days, the bus service mentioned in other reviews wasn’t mentioned by the hotel but we didn’t ask.
We purchased the holiday through TUI and we didn’t see a rep at all so no trips or details about the area were given but the reception staff did help with anything we asked. Tip if going to the beach the sunbeds are €40-50 take towels and if reading this before travelling buy a pop up shade instead, many locals seemed to do this.
A thing we missed out on but I’d suggest is parking up at Porto cervo marina, pay your park and there’s a free boat across to the town and back from the marina, we missed out as the boat carries 12 and there were 11 waiting but would have been a good experience, the waitress in the restaurant there told us about it.
