New style management at The Romanza Hotel

(1/5) > >>

Waspman:
Since last year The Romanza Hotel bar and restaurant management has changed.  As you all know Leo and Jenny have gone and now opened The Mythica Restaurant in town.

The new family that has taken over are by far the friendliest Greek family you would ever wish to meet.
Two sisters, Katie and Alex with family members Leo, Andreas, Nicoletta and Eleni do a superb job and will do anything they can to help.  Marina is still in the bar and reception (evenings).

The atmosphere in the hotel is fantastic, the food is to die for (try the moussaka & kleftico) and the BBQ night on Sundays consists a bouzouki and keyboard player with greek dancing (with audiance participation) by the entire family, Katie and Alex's Mum and Dad and the hotel owners join in too.

The Romanza Hotel is now far better than it has ever been in the past.

good to hear.We are going there next friday ;D

Jules:
Thanks for all the new info Waspman. I love Kleftico so may have to give it a try.

Katie also does amazing things with octopus (steady on!) and scorpion fish! The octopus was fresh from her husband Leo's frequent fishing expeditions.

If you've never tried marinated octopus on toast for breakfast, you've missed out on something good, I can tell you !!

Katie's curry is terrific too. Not like our average high street brown slop at all. Katie's is fresh, clean tasting and full of flavour. Her indoors and the eldest both reckon that the Moussaka is the best they've tried.

I have to agree with Waspman that the BBQ night entertainment is a must. No more 'traditional CD' repeats on that night ! Just real greek people singing real greek songs to real live music that generates an unbelievable atmosphere. Kostas and Leo joined in the singing too. Katie's mum definitely deserves a mention for her excellent greek dancing as does Andreas and the younger ladies.

It's easy to tell the difference between someone putting on a show for the paying audience and a family having a party. The Romanza family invited us to their party that night without question. It reminded me of when I was a small boy and all of my uncles, aunts, cousins, neighbours etc gathered at one of the old great-grandparents houses for an all night (and sometimes all weekend) singing/dancing party. 

Kostas, Nitsa ('scuse spelling) and son Spiros have kept the quality and spirit of the Romanza right up there. The return of Katie, Leo, Alex and the young 'uns have helped steer the feel of the place back towards one great big family for all.

Sorry if I seem to be going a bit mushy but there are very few places for me like this one. It's not just the views, the hotel layout or anything like that. It's the people. Truly great people.

must agree with you when we have been on holiday its the people we meet that we remember more than the place we stay in but we love the thomas bay as well
