Hotel berhampiran Palazzo, Zacharo

This is a little jewel box of a country hotel. Laid out in a Hacienda style, the setting immediately puts you at ease and in a relaxed frame of mind. Add to it the tranquil bucolic surroundings and you’ll begin to slip into the proper attitude to take in an enjoy this deeply historic town. Olympia really cannot be understood, let alone enjoyed without some acclimation…primarily letting go of the urgency to do something or be somewhere. Checking in at the Hotel Olympion Asty is an excellent first step. Sitting by the pool at sunset, or just enjoying the view from the balcony in the room will do wonders for your psyche and your mental state. The Hotel Olympion Asty is also located on the top of small hill and overlooks the town of Olympia, suffice it to say that the location automatically makes wandering around town or shopping “not an option.” This enforced detox is exactly what your soul needs to begin to truly enjoy Olympia, to fall into that frame of mind, that pace that allows you to truly understand it and why this place was so special to the ancient Greeks. Ok, let’s talk nuts and bolts. The rooms are new and well-equipped. The air conditioning leaves much to be desired, but that’s just continental. The bathrooms are all steel and glass and the toilets are new, sturdy, and clean! There is plenty of space and I appreciate hotels setting out sufficient counter space next to the sink. The rooms are spotless and give you the feeling of being luxuriously clean and neat, tastefully appointed and thoughtfully functional. The room we had had a split level with a separate sitting area with a sofa bed, and a balcony overlooking the city and the plains….just gorgeous. The kitchen out a very solid buffet dinner on the day we arrived and the breakfast was just as good the next day. While you may not get a buffet, it is clear what the kitchen CAN do and you are in good hands at the Olympia Asty. The pool is great. It was clean, spacious enough to do laps comfortably and deep enough to be thoroughly enjoyable…likely deeper than most hotel pools at 2.9m at the deep end. There is a small pool bar as well.

Hotel Europa yang disayangi—kakitangan sangat mesra dan restoran menyajikan makanan yang sangat enak. Kemudahan ini bersih dan sangat menikmati sarapan pagi saya. Akan sangat mengesyorkannya kepada rakan-rakan.

Arrived at midnight after a long drive from Delphi. The owner came out to greet us and help with our luggage, he told us that he would be available for anything we needed until 3am, wonderful to know! The room / suite was the entire top floor of the hotel. The owner told us that he had to planned for it to be his home and that showed, everything you could need was there. In addition to the bedroom and bathroom, there was a sitting area and a small area for cooking (fridge, stove top, plates, cutlery, glasses). The rest of the space was a partially shaded deck with dining table, sun beds and a hammock. The view from the deck over the countryside was beautiful and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious with many choices - the yogurt and honey and also strawberry jam were so flavorful. Was ideally located for an easy walk to the archeological site. For the accommodation and breakfast provided, this was excellent value. Only stayed one night but would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the space on the top floor and would absolutely go back if retuning to Olympia.

Sosta di una notte dopo aver visitato il sito archeologico di Olimpia, hotel molto vintage, a gestione famigliare, il proprietario, che parlava bene anche l'italiano, è una persona molto gentile e disponibile, che ama il suo lavoro e la sua casa! La stanza era al primo piano, non c'è ascensore ma è stato così gentile da portarmi su e giù la valigia! Camera comoda, abbastanza spaziosa così come il bagno, senza finestra ma con ventola funzionante. Un bel balcone con tavolino e sedie. L'unico neo è che affacciava sulla strada di passaggio quindi molto rumorosa a qualsiasi ora. Tv, aria condizionata e frigo. Comodo parcheggio di fronte all'hotel. Colazione super con uova sode, pane, marmellata, miele, briosce e torta, jogurt greco e una buonissima spremuta d'arancia preparata al momento. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. L'hotel si trova a una trentina di chilometri dal porto di Killini da dove abbiamo preso il traghetto il mattino dopo.

Stayed here for 2 weeks at the beginning of September 2024. Greeted by one of the owners, Nikolas. Warm welcome and given a room on the second floor overlooking the pool and harbour. Room was spotless with daily maid service. Good breakfast with normal cereals toast ,pastries, sausage and eggs, and the normal continental style with ham, cheeses tomatoes etc. Orange juice, tea and coffee fruit and yogurt. We hired a car for the 2 weeks from Kiriakoulis rent a car. Excellent service. We didn't eat dinner in the Hotel but ate several times at Pementzo which was a minutes walk out of the Hotel on the right. Had some of the best fish dishes we'd ever had in Greece. We also ate at Karnagio and Ammos who are both about five minute walk away. These were both excellent and reasonably priced. Special mention to Lefteris and Aldo at the bar with their friendly service. Unless you just need to chill at the Hotel, a car is definitely a must. Visited Olympia, Ancient Messene , Peristeria and Neda waterfalls. Holiday Rep didn't recommend Neda falls as its a very tough trek. Would definitely return to this Hotel.
