Wonderful stay!
I stayed at Rita for 6 nights and I could have stayed longer. It was a beautiful view from my room and I loved sitting in the balcony and watching the ocean and the mountains. The host Mr Shapiro was really nice and welcoming. He was very friendly and we talked about many things. The neighbors in the apartment were also very nice. It was a calm and secluded area, perfect for a relaxing stay. There are shops and restaurants and bus stop close by at a walking distance.

Lousy owner
We stayed in Villa Rita for two nights. When we arrived, around 16:00, the room was still not ready; the owner mumbled something about a screwup in the reservation system. He hastily got sheets etc. into the room and tried to get _us_ to make the beds, which I refused. The room was generally clean but on the matresses there were big visible stains. The owner's attitude was... I can only describe it as annoying. As he greeted us, his instructions on our way to the room were military-style "you're forbidden to do this, that, this, that". One thing that struck me as next to ridiculous was that we were not allowed to change the airconditioning temperature; the remote was locked, and all we could do was turn it on and off. Another _very_ annoying thing is that in our 2-room apartment (one bedroom and one kitchen/living room with two folding beds) there was only one aircondition, inside the bedroom. So the children had to freeze during the night (we got them to sleep in the twin bed, the folding ones were not comfortable at all) while we were sweating. Regarding the area: Platanias is a nice place, very lively with lots of cafes, bars, restaurants etc. But don't expect to find _anything_, not even a bakery or a kiosk, within walking distance of the hotel. You definitely need a car. If there's a bus station nearby, I didn't see it. The pool and the exterior were nice, but not enough to reverse our bad experience. Overall, I cannot recommend it.

Bella struttura, no Wi-Fi
Positivo: La struttura è bella, il proprietario gentile e pronto a risolvere le problematiche. Negativo: Wi-Fi in casa inesistente, se vi serve internet dovete mettervi fuori. Il wc non scarica la carta igienica che bisogna buttare nel cestino

Utmärkt hotell vid Globen
Hotell med mycket nära läge intill Globen. Stort parkeringsgarage under Avici arena. Enligt utsago låst på natten. Bra storlek på rummet. Frukost är av bra standard. Finns rätt mycket sittplatser. Återkommer gärna.
