San Stefanos news and views / Re: Booked and Returning
« on: February 14, 2012, 12:55:25 AM »
Hi Gav, we've got one week this year, not the biggest budget, needed the safest, surest way of a much needed relaxing break, whatever way we looked at things the Romanza came out tops. Any first timers or those not sure re whether to travel to SS -  this is our sure bet and recommendation for a great holiday.
 Hope you enjoy Kefalonia Gav, will watch for your report on Trip advisor! Been to Trapezaki a while back, fab time there too.

Hi Janet, Thomas bay is pretty central for just about everything in SS, restaurants, bars,and the beach close by, not suprised many people return there. hope you have a good time. We were just along the road at the Barras last year, once we got used to the busyness of the t junction we were fine. This year, Aug 27th, we're back to the Romanza, cant wait , cardiac hill training programme in full swing!

Iris, similar  to Jules we flew last week with Thompsons from Newcastle who allow 20 k PP with a new advised max of 23k in any one case. 30k seems a lot in this day and age of health and safety etc. I could be mistaken but I recall most airport handlers  had a maximum weight of 28k a couple of years ago, bags around this weight had the red HEAVY stickers placed on them to alert the handlers. As always we were asked how many bags we were checking in,  suggesting many groups may travel with less than one bag each? Our bags  were quite heavy this year as we were self catering so we used our hand luggage maximum 5k. 2 of the 3 bags were x rayed twice and hand checked by security, no problems but I dont think I will carry as much in the cabin in future.

Hi Gav, all,
As Romanza hilltop regulars in recent years it was strange to be slap bang in the middle of the village! Noise was the  significant difference, scooters, cars, buses etc only a few metres from the pool. As always you adjust to suroundings, but we did miss the tranquility of the Romanza cliff top setting. As a counter balance however the walks to the beach and our favourite restaraunts, this time - Beachcomer, Mythica,and the value for money Little Prince and Yiannis, were so handy it added a more relaxed feel to the late night drinks and village wanderings....no cardiac hill to end the night! George and family are great hosts and as we got a late booking discounted price we were more than happy, which we hope is reflected in Debbies Aug 3rd tripadvisor report,which first timers may find helpful. Know your missing S S this year for the family wedding - are you planning to be one of the 75% return visitors next year??

Thanks all, and welcome to the forum Gill C .
As usual we will play safe with the hand luggage and weigh in under the limit. We've bought the correct size cabin bags and it doesent take much to approach the maximum weight, (juggling a wee bit  this time as self catering.) It just seems that so many people arrive in the cabin with holdall's or cases  which are so far over the size stipulation you wonder how on earth they stay could stay within the weight limit! Still, if everyone went overweight we may never get off the ground!!

Hi not long to go now.....
can anyone tell us whether the laundry is still open ?
The last twice we've been we've sent all our dirty washing to the laundry a couple of days before we came home - Very helpful when you're back at work the day you land !! But just checking its still up and running
Thanks

Many thanks Kernock, Lesley, will use this advice / links to pre book as only two weeks to go, san stef never looks overcrowded but I would imagine cars could be harder to find as we head towards peak season.  Cheers.

Hi all, thanks to all for the help and ideas some more illuminating than others!! Seems as though the Barras and our coolbox were made for one an other. Anyone know whether its possible to e mail the owners at all with a request for a pool view room, our son, 13, has energy to burn at the pool, the option of being able to keep an eye out from our balcony would be a bonus.
