As others have said, this is a very well run family hotel. Ritsa and her staff are always on hand to cater to the needs of their guests but go about their business quietly and unobtrusively. The pool area has to be a highlight with a pool that is actually big enough to swim in and fresh towels provided daily. We never had any problems securing a sunbed.
It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach and the bus stop nearby offers regular buses to Fira where you can get a bus to other parts of the island. This is a cheap, air conditioned option for travelling around the island. We also took the little boat that travels between the end of Perissa beach to Kamari which is 7 euros pp each way. A lovely trip and Kamari is a great place to visit.
On our final day we vacated our room by 11am but (as we didn’t need to be at the airport until 6.30pm) were thrilled to discover that shower/toilet facilities were available to use for guests in our situation. This meant we could have a final carefree day in the sunshine knowing we could wash off all the suntan oil before we left! Fab!
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Villa Olympia to others travelling to this beautiful island.
