The onsite facilities include a magnificent swimming pool with snack bar, ideal to take a cool dip in the warmer summer days.

Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We arrived late at night, on an easyJet flight from Bristol. EasyJet supplied a private car transfer, dropping us directly to the hotel entrance. We had expected to be dropped on the main road & to use the steps. The owner of the hotel had already messaged me to say he would kindly collect us from the main road & help with luggage, should this happen.
On arrival at the hotel, we found an envelope with details of our room (205) and breakfast details.
The hotel & room were immaculately clean.
The room although small, consisted of comfortable twin beds, with duvets, & an open plan bathroom with hand held & overhead rain shower, with sliding door shared as the toilet door.
Hairdryer, showergel, shampoo, handwash & disposable slippers were provided. Along with good quality towels, which were replenished as required.
Hanging storage with 6 hangers & shelves were provided but no drawers.
Storage shelves are high & slightly challenging for short people.
This area also housed the free safe, a kettle, glasses & mugs, tea & coffee, 1 bottle of water in the fridge below. ( no milk provided for late arrivals)
There were sockets, lights & charging points beside the beds.
Air con / heating were included in the cost of our holiday & worked efficiently. Also a large tv and remote control.
The sea view was amazing from the balcony, also providing good views over Stalos. There were 2 chairs & a table. No drying rack or pegs provided.
The grounds & gardens of the hotel were well kept, and everywhere was extremely clean. The pool, although we didn’t use, looked immaculate, plenty of sun-beds & umbrellas provided.
The breakfast room, which is located down steps into the garden, had plenty of tables & chairs, both inside & out. Breakfast was excellent, with eggs cooked to order & ready cooked items kept in a hot server . Offering lots of choice, including cold cuts, cheeses, breads, cakes, olives, yogurt, cereals, juices, teas & coffees. Everything was well labelled.
We had 2 days of heavy rain & staff dealt efficiently with all guests eating inside in difficult & wet conditions. Breakfast staff work extremely hard & efficiently.
There is parking outside the hotel, I would highly recommend car hire, as the hotel is located high on a hill, and the daily walk up & down the steps to the seafront is not for the faint hearted.
Our easyJet pick up transfer was confusing, we were requested to wait on the main road at the bottom of the steps, it was dark & raining, but we duly waited there as requested, only to have a phone call to say the driver was waiting at the hotel entrance. The hotel owner was very helpful & had kindly given us a lift with our luggage in his pickup truck, but easyJet do need to sort this confusion out for their customers. It was no fault of the hotel.
All in all, this was an extremely clean hotel with an excellent breakfast supplied. And good staff who are all happy to help at all times.
This hotel is by far one of the stand out hotels we have stayed in. A small boutique hotel with a very relaxed atmosphere - if you are looking for entertainment 24/7 this isn’t the one for you.
We have never returned to a hotel before but this is our second visit and very likely we will be back again.
I cannot praise all of the staff more, they all work so hard to make your holiday a fantastic experience.
The hotel is immaculately clean and the rooms are comfortable and well proportioned. The breakfast had a wide choice to cater for everyone. As per previous reviews the stairs up to the hotel are challenging so would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
Thank you again to everyone at the hotel for making our holiday a memorable one.

My wife and I stayed in the Renieris in early June. This is an amazing family owned hotel. Everything is first class. Everywhere is absolutely spotless. The staff and the family are great, can't do enough for you. Breakfast is superb. Caters for all requirements with eggs cooked to order. Food served in the poolside restaurant/bar is excellent with generous portions. Although you have to climb 97 steps to reach the hotel, it's absolutely worth it. Can't praise it too highly. We shall return!!
Return visit to this beautiful hotel & hopefully won’t be our last. Everything about this family run hotel is perfect……welcoming owners & staff, lovely rooms, excellent food & drink, a good book selection, and the whole place is spotlessly clean. Didn’t want to leave!!
