"Pros: The only person who does everything around there - from carrying the luggage to serving breakfast, Mr.L was one bright spot to an otherwise disappointing arrangement.
The location of the hotel is great, overlooking the Caldera, and just below a convenience store, two restaurants and a very short walk to the sunset point, stores and the "main" vibe street.
The breakfast was pretty good.
The jacuzzi space though separated from the expensive suite and 8 steep steps up a public alley ( I took a video but am not able to upload it here) and not mentioned in the description- was nice once you compromise on the two different locations, unlike other rooms/hotels in the area with a similar set up.
Cons: Firstly, someone had pointed this out in a review and I thought he was talking about a cheaper room - I should've "listened".
I picked the Jasmine suite based on the description and the advertised pics.
I was so shocked and disappointed to find that the information this hotel had displayed and described for the suite I booked was mostly misleading. Given the pics and description, I selected this room. There were multiple choices of hotels in the vicinity, but no one had pretty pictures like this one. I was looking forward to this trip after a long battle with illness for a year and some, and I wish their misrepresentation did not cost me so much - not only in the dollar amount but also for my mental health. I have attached comparison pics as reference.
The described "few steps to the jacuzzi" to a private terrace above the suite as left out the fact that the steps are on the public alley and the way to the jacuzzi was outside of the suite. I assumed logically that the steps to the private terrace are private!! I wanted to relax and not step out if not needed but to access what I paid for ( approx $800 for 2 nights) I had to climb the 8 steep public steps up and down to the jacuzzi, wear appropriate cover up like a publicly accessed pool, and not have the luxury of a private room to private terrace as I had thought I paid for.
The pictures from the room overlooking the Caldera left out that there is a public alley in-between, it's on ground level with the public alley and you can only keep your windows open if you don't mind people passing by looking into the bedroom. So had to keep my windows closed instead of waking up to the beautiful sight they had in their pictures.
When I tried to explain to the manager the issue with the steps his response was - and I paraphrase - if you can do the steps you should not have come to Sarontini. What?!!!" ~Tilottama
"Pros: We learned of this place from some Greek friends in NC. What a wonderful experience! Like many people traveling to Greece, we wanted eat authentic Greek food, meet local, interesting people and have some Greek cultural experiences. The agritourism farm checked all the boxes.
The owners(husband and wife) had breakfast with us. They are open, kind and offered five star hospitality. They treated us like family! Since grapes were being harvested, we asked about a wine tasting. The owner called a friend who owns a nearby vineyard and arranged for us to get a private tour of the winery. We have been to a few vineyards but have never tried the freshly squeezed juice. Lots of fun! The chef and sous chef went out of their way to make us happy. We picked vegetables together on the farm, we assisted the chef to learn about Greek cooking and ate terrific meals. Best tzatziki I have ever had!
I highly recommend Milea Agrotourism for an authentic Greek cultural experience!
Cons: Nothing." ~John
