Where to stay / First visit to SS and Romanza hotel ...
« on: July 12, 2010, 10:50:36 PM »

Just spent 2 weeks at the Romanza Hotel during first visit to SS
Good to meet Yannis and a few others off the forum, here are my views ..


ROMANZA


Superb views
Friendly staff
Good lunchtime/evening food
Clean towels and sheets most days

Now the bad points
Breakfast is AWFUL (though I think most other hotels are similar)
Toast which is either undertoasted OR overdone and rock hard with
the scrambled egg/boiled egg/cheese & ham rotated every 3 days

The bathroom is minute with the shower leaking water all over the floor
a few days we had no hot water and had to ask them to boost the heater
I heard quite a few people say they had the same problem

Bar prices varied in costs from one day to the next

Be WARNED the walk back to the hotel is laborious and tiring late at night

San Stefanos restaurants and bars ...

IMO Mythica is the best in SS with Ozzie Oils and Little Prince being good
By far the worst IMO was the Barras restaurant and 2 stars wasn't that good either

Bar 38 ok .. never that busy tbh, the Condor is the liveliest place having live music most nights
Usually quite a few in the Athens  Bar, but maybe that was down to the World Cup being on


Would I go back to SS?? ... probably
Would I RUSH back for my next holiday ... probably NOT as there are better places in Greece

It is a quiet resort and maybe thats what people like about it, I wouldn't say it is overly pretty either

Sorry you converts .. but that is how I saw it, though I did enjoy the holiday  8)

San Stefanos news and views / Holiday Insurance
« on: June 08, 2010, 05:52:34 PM »
Where do most people get their insurance from ?

Just looked on Compare the market, there are 2 week insurance cover deals
from as little as £12 with what 'looks to be' similar cover from say M&S or the PO

I guess the fact the latter two are 5 or 6 times that amount suggests you get what you pay for?

Anyone know of good companies - I don't want to pay Tui's prices but don't want a fly by night
travel policy that doesn't pay out IF called upon to  .. thanks

San Stefanos news and views / Best bits about San Stefano? ..
« on: March 20, 2010, 07:49:51 PM »
OK having done quite a bit of research now on SS, think I DEFF want to book it this summer

From what I can see the best points that keep people coming back year after year are ...

The beach
The sunsets  
Friendly locals
Great tavernas
Yannis enthusiasm about the place
  :)

What else can you regulars add to these  ;)

San Stefanos news and views / Newby .. few questions ...
« on: March 19, 2010, 09:50:04 PM »
Haven't been to Corfu in many tears, tend to go to the other islands and Parga just across the water
but looking at San Stefanos it looks like it could be my sort of place, and thinking of booking 2 weeks
the end of June / begin July ...

(1) Romanza ... is this as good as any of the hotels in the area?

(2) What are the mozzies like at that time of year ? (sept in Parga was awful)

(3) Are there any fishing trips that go out from the bay ?

Thanks in advance ... Mikee
