GROTTO VILLAS - Cat. B ' - In Firostefani with Caldera view
 This complex of 15 houses first
operated some 20 years ago, when some authentic cave houses (7 in total) were bought by their current owner, Mr.
Jiannis, a Swiss who fell in love with the island and the people. Since then another 8 houses have been built in
the traditional style, and now all of them overlook the splendid Caldera. He has lovingly named them after people
(e.g. Mary, George e.t.a.). There are 3 types of rooms: studios (2 people) or one bedroom apartments with separate
bedroom (2-4 people) and two bedroom apartments with two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one with bathtub and one with
shower) for 2-6 people. Each house has a private bathroom with bathtub/W.C., ample sitting room, fully equipped
kitchen cooking rings, utensils, refrigerator and oven (not in all), direct-dial phone, self-regulated A/C (warm
and cold), satellite TV, and a big private terrace or balcony with volcano and sea view. The furnishing is comfortable
but funny as it mingles different styles. Cleaning and change of towels are daily, change of sheets every second
day. General hotel facilities include: a reception that operates from 8:00AM till midnight, a small swimming pool
with umbrellas and sun beds, a pool bar, safe deposit boxes and a room where people arriving early or leaving late
can leave their luggage and get some rest or have a shower, before checking in/out. Fax facilities and e-mail service
are available. Breakfast is basic continental. The complex cannot be accessed by car, and several steps need to
be climbed, but it is not a difficult nor a long walk from the town’s centre. |
