Imerti Resort Hotel

Several of the guests were repeat visitors. Our visit got off to a bad start when we were asked for twice the tourist tax. As Stratos didnt have change (he rarely does have change :) ) he said we could pay later, when he explained he'd made a mistake over how long we were staying. Our room was a superior double as we wanted a little extra space. The cleaners do an excellent job and come in on Sundays, not always the case in Greek hotels. The shower is hand held but has a rail with a support so that you can use it as an overhead shower. It had a cubicle, not a curtain. Greek toilets so the usual bin for paper. The bed settee might be fine as a bed but the cushion is too far back for support so you'll end up sitting on one of the two chairs or out on the balcony looking over the pool. The pool is in full sun so although unheated it should warm up in summer. Two brave ladies swam in it even in April. Beds are firm - not as rock like as some Greek beds but probably should have asked if they could supply mattress toppers. Sink and fridge and 3 cups and saucers. Kettle could probably benefit from a better clean. Air conditioning was available for a fee, in April we could manage without it by opening the sliding door to the balcony as soon as we got in the room. We certainly didnt need the bedcover kindly left in our room on one of the cooler nights, most nights we pushed back the light duvets. Pool towels available for 5 euros a week. Safe was available for a fee, we didnt ask how much. Breakfast was very good. I was persuaded to try the yoghurt (I dont normally eat it) and that was excellent, thick and creamy. There were preserved fruits to add to it or some walnuts, almonds, dried fruit. There was a fruit basket that always had apples and oranges, some days a few bananas. Hot food varied but always some type of egg (fried, scrambled, omelette). Then *****s of ham or sausage or beans and mushrooms. Also cheese pies or cheese and spinach tray bake sliced up. Two toasters and preserves to add. Cold ham and cheese with tomato and cucumber. Boiled eggs available too. Nice bread but if you wanted gluten free you'd have to ask or take your own. Full fat or skimmed milk and I think soy milk available. Some days good mini croissants, sometimes apple traybake or biscuity things with chocolate sprinkles. Decent orange juice. Coffee machine had limited choices (espresso or filter coffee, hot water) and first day it wasnt hot enough water, second day was better. Still recommend taking a mug so you can get your coffee as you like it. Only saw a cat once and it stayed outside the restaurant after Stratos shooed it out. Ate a couple of lunches - filling, inexpensive gyros or sandwiches all that was available at the start of the season. Pool bar opens mid May, it suited us that there was no pool bar so it was quiet. There is a well stocked library in the breakfast area. Most books were in English, maybe 20 in either Dutch or German, one Greek. A Col

The best compliment you can give a hotel is to return and after a wonderful holiday last year we were back...but for longer. A fantastic welcome from our hosts Stratos and George and the team. They make you feel like friends not guests and you become quite fond of them too as nothing is took much trouble to make your holiday one to remember. quiet and chilled around the freshwater pool but with relaxing music and snacks and drinks from the pool bar. we used to go to the pool and have a couple of breaks back at the room where we had a coffee and salad sandwich as the rooms have a full size fridge and you can get great beef tomatoes and cheese and ham from the local shops for pennies. Then after a shower down to the town a 700 yard walk but flat as a pancake to choose between 8 or 9 good restaurants all excellent and cheap our favourite being Sampo right on the beach. Not much to do after you have eaten but for a relaxing chilled holiday unbeatable. Good little airport with a surprising good duty free and fresh food to buy to take on the plane. Back to the Imerti I cannot recommend the hotel or the owners highly enough , lovely people, great location and for us 10 out of 10. Out thanks for a great holiday. All the best Mister John.

This is the third time that we have stayed at the Imerti Resort Hotel. It is our 'happy place'. Excellent facilities with the friendliest and happiest staff you could wish for; nothing is too much trouble. The rooms and the whole place are cleaned daily. Any request is dealt with promptly. It is located only a few hundred meters from the village square, which is by the sea, with a very fine choice of restaurants and bars. Skala Kalloni is not a tourist trap, it is a functioning fishing and agricultural community. If you are a birdwatcher it is a must visit. But anyone wanting to get away from the pains of modern life will not go too far wrong choosing the Imerti.

A fabulous stay at The Imerti Hotel in Skala Kalloni. This really is a resort that beckons you back year after year. Small and bijou with the most friendly villagers and amazing restaurants that serve authentic Greek dishes with a smile. The resort itself is a short 1 hour (ish) transfer from the newly built airport in Mytilini via comfortable coach. We stayed at the Imerti Hotel, ran by Stratos, George and the welcoming Kefaladellis family who greet you with enthusiasm and open arms. It has to be said that this is what draws us back to Skala Kalloni, the hospitality at the Imerti caters for those who prefer to relax by the pool, for those who wish to explore the island and for those who take advantage of the scenery, wildlife and local area. Rooms are certainly comfortable and range from standard rooms to apartments that are maintained daily. The pool area is hosted by George, who delights in providing an array of beverages, poolside music and on the odd occasion (along with his brother Stratos) a cracking game of ‘Murder in Palermo’. All I can say is…. If you prefer authentic Greek hospitality in a beautiful setting that is relatively untouched by tourism …. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed

Thankyou for giving us an amazing holiday , even though I was unwell second week loved every moment , everything so relaxed , hotel beach restaurants the true Greek experience . Can’t wait to return ,many thanks

Just returned from a wonderful week at this lovely, friendly hotel. It is so well run by Stratos and George who make you feel so welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Our pool room was spacious and clean with a small kitchen area with a kettle and sink. Towels and bedding were changed regularly. Breakfast is buffet style and has a range of hot and cold choices. The bar is by the pool and they serve a good range of food for lunches and some great cocktails- thanks for all the effort you put into my frozen daiquiris! The hotel is in a peaceful setting but is just a short walk from Skala Kalloni which has a number of tavernas, bars etc. The warmth you feel while you are staying here is not only from the greek sunshine but from the people who are so special.

Stratos and George were the perfect hosts, they coyldnt do enough for you and were very keen to make sure we were enjoying our stay there. The hotel was by far the best hotel we have stayed in when visiting Greece. The location is less than a 10 minute walk to the town where there are a variety of restaurants for you to choose from. We will definitely return.

Just returned from a fantastic 10 days statos & gwigios are fantastic can't do enough for you really do go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable, rooms cleaned every day spotless maids work very hard ,would highly recommend this hotel you will not be disappointed we are already looking to book again next year
