Irinna Hotel Reviews
Hotel Irinna, while not a 'luxury' resort, was an excellent place to stay for a relaxed beach break. It was a large hotel but extremely clean, with large airy rooms and friendly staff. While it was basic, you had everything you needed - free air conditioning on request, a large comfortable bed (we had to ask for an extra pillow, but this was not a problem for the staff), and a balcony with beautiful views of the coast.
<br>
The bathroom was a little shabby, with a small area separated by a flimsy curtain for a shower, but this is often the way in Greek hotels, and everything functioned, so it didn’t make much difference to our enjoyment of the holiday.
<br>
Food was on the whole lovely, and you could help yourself to as much as you wanted and eat out on the beautiful terrace to watch the sun set. However, expect predominantly Greek food for dinner - English food was available sometimes but not always as you would expect back home, with some odd combinations (Brussel sprouts and chips anyone?!), but I always enjoy eating local food on holiday and it was always fresh and flavoursome.
<br>
The gardens are beautiful and surrounded by trees, which constantly hummed with the sound of cicadas & crickets! The pool was fairly large and very clean but always quite busy.
<br>
One of the best things about the hotel was its location - there is not a great deal to do in Svoronata but if you're after quiet relaxation on the beach, it is perfect, with one lovely beach only a 5 minute walk away or another 2 about 15-25 minutes walk from the hotel.
<br>
There were also a few good tavernas and bars a short distance from the hotel and a couple of shops for snacks and essentials. We found it was so hot (we went in July), that walking far was not really an option anyway, and we spent our days on the beach, with a lazy stroll around the area, looking at the picturesque Kefalonian houses and gardens nearby after dinner when it was slightly cooler.
<br>
There is also a frequent daily bus service from just outside the hotel, which goes into the main town, Argostoli which we found very handy.
<br>
There is also a bar in the hotel, serving a wide range of drinks, with a friendly chatty barman, and a terrace. A small gift-shops sells Greek souvenirs and post-cards.
All in all, we had a fantastic holiday and couldn’t really have asked for better - the hotel was comfortable and offered everything required for a lazy, relaxing beach break! Perfect for families and couples. <br>
