Stephanou Inn

Loved this place. Our “maisonette” turned out to be a whole house! We had a table and 4 chairs in a shaded area, another set indoors and another one on a large upstairs verandah; 2 sofa beds in the living area; 2 shower rooms with toiletries and hairdryer; a double master bedroom with plenty of storage and a small balcony with airer; a single bedroom with fan and storage; the verandah with rattan chairs, a glass coffee table and wonderful views. The kitchen had a large fridge freezer as well as an under counter fridge; a proper oven and hot plates; plenty of cutlery, crockery, pans, mugs, glasses, tea towels; kettle, sandwich maker and toaster; thoughtful additions such as olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, a few tea bags, fruit juice, water, washing up liquid and sponge. I’ve never stayed anywhere with its own library! There must have been 30 books in there. I added a couple more. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, ‘lived in’ rather than pristine, the housekeeping was discreet and immaculate every 3 days. The pool area is lovely with plenty of comfy sunbeds as well as tables and chairs. There are flowers, fruit trees and veg growing around the edges. There’s a windowsill stocked with sun cream, sprays and all sorts of things for you to use if you’ve forgotten anything. We didn’t eat breakfast there so can’t comment on whether the €15 price was worth it. We were a little surprised to note that the pool area is supposed to be closed 2:30-5:30pm. It’s a very traditional Greek area so clearly we respected siesta time but found that other people also quietly used the pool during that time. The main pool doesn’t have a shallow end but there’s a shallow pool above ideal for paddling or sitting in to read. We hired a car so the parking was handy. The accommodation is on a narrow lane but access was fine. Note that you have to walk about 150 metres from the coach drop off point if travelling with Jet2. We appreciated the included air con. I would have liked to have had it slightly cooler at times but it seemed to be preset. The Inn is ideally located to wander down the lane to the tavernas, supermarkets, pharmacy, harbour. It’s 5 mins walk to the swimming platform and start of the coastal path to Stoupa. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Spent two nights here as part of a walking holiday in this beautiful area. Stephanou Inn is a pretty, traditionally designed, small complex of bungalow type apartments. They are spacious, clean, well equipped, and have good air conditioning! Within two minutes walk of the front of Agios Nikolaos, it gives easy access to the full range of cafes and restaurants. On site there is a lovely pool with sunbeds. Delicious breakfasts were served on our patio every morning, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic weeks stay at Stephanou Inn! Lovely spacious, clean apartment , super friendly and helpful host - very relaxing week. Great for families, tranquil setting with lovely views and close to nice tavernas, supermarkets and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back - 10/10.
