Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Aethrio was absolutely delightful! The suite was spacious, beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean. Marios, the host, truly made my experience memorable, always offering helpful suggestions with a warm smile. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring delicious homemade pies. Overall, it was great value for money, but I did wish for more dining options in the area since some places closed early.
This charming guesthouse in Dilofo is a true gem. The warm hospitality from Marios and the extremely cozy room made our stay unforgettable. The homemade breakfast was a delightful start to our days. However, the location can feel remote after dark, and some evening dining options are limited.
Aethrio is an extraordinary boutique hotel that offered us an unforgettable experience. The suites are spacious and impeccably clean, with beautiful décor that adds to the charm. Marios, the host, truly goes above and beyond, making our stay special with his warmth and excellent recommendations. The breakfast spread is simply delicious, especially the homemade pies. Our only wish is to have a bit more variety in dining options in the area, as some places closed early. We can't wait to return in the winter!
My stay at this charming hotel was truly unforgettable! The cozy ambiance, exceptional service, and delicious homemade breakfast made it an amazing experience. I loved the spacious room with a comfy bed, but the location was a bit remote, requiring some effort to find restaurants after dark.
Staying at Aethrio was an extraordinary experience! The boutique hotel truly exceeded my expectations with its exceptional service, beautifully decorated suite, and delightful breakfast. Marios, our host, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The only downside is that the area quiets down early in the evening, which might not suit everyone, but I absolutely can't wait to return!
