Pillini Beach Vacations

Good hotel just not the best location

My plan was to give this property 1 or 2 stars but it earned 3 stars because of the private adult only beach which made this vacation so much better. A few things as heads up: 1.) the check in time is 3pm, seems to me that they intentionally keep you wait till 3pm as we were offered an early check in for 1250 Euro (yep, you heard it right) but got into the room at 3pm. We went to the beach so didn’t mind too much. 2.) some of the sea front rooms are NOT sea front rooms. We were told that we got a sea front room but it was sea view. 3.) the area is not that nice outside of the resort. 4.) There are a lot of families, a lot. Coming back to the room we couldn’t use the private pool because we were surrounded by families and noise. Same for breakfast. Same for the pool and beach area. What saved our vacation from being a disaster was the private adult only beach. The adult only beach is in a great location and a much better view than the hotel. Overall, the hotel is completely over priced and over hyped and we would probably choose a different place when we are back in the area.

The view was amazing! We didn’t want to leave

Great location and food joints and best amenities

My stay at Anthology of Athens was fabulous, albeit too short. The hotel manager, front of house staff, restaurant employees, spa and housekeeping staff were all amazing and incredibly welcoming and helpful. I was travelling alone but did not feel lonely as there was always someone stopping and chatting. The Botany Restaurant was outstanding and my spa treatments were very relaxing. I would highly recommend this stunning boutique hotel.

The rooftop plunge pool (hot tub!) was great with a view of the Acropolis. The staff were super helpful. Great location too.

This property is well situated in the historic part of Athens, within walking distance to attractions, restaurants and shops. It is a small and quiet boutique hotel with amazing service. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff is extremely helpful. My only comment is that breakfasts are mediocre.
