Archontiko Art Hotel
The grandiose air of Galaxidi, once an important and prosperous maritime town, can still be found at Archodiko Art Hotel, from the original decor with a rustic touch to the hearty breakfast.
Built by local traditional masons in harmony with the town's traditional architecture, this warm property reflects the homely, artistic touch of the owners Yannis and his wife Argyroula. An assortment of vintage equipment, antique pieces and paraphernalia will feed the spirit, so will the overall ambiance of the stone building and the carefully decorated rooms.
To begin with, the terrace where breakfast is served lies in a lovely garden complete with local plants and rose bushes, in a very quiet neighborhood of the town. Speaking of breakfast, you'll be treated to a delicious, rich menu of home-baked cakes, village eggs, homemade jams, country breads, and sumptuous savory pies, an amazing way to start your day.
Boasting a view to the sea, each room is decorated in a unique style and personality, yet all are somehow tied to the rich cultural and nautical history of Galaxidi. One room features a huge round bed while the other has a boat-shaped bed, both perfect for couples who want a more romantic experience. If you're travelling alone you might like the writer's room, complete with a century-old typewriter to add some ambiance. Despite the old-world charm, modern amenities such as wifi, crisp private bathrooms, satellite TV, air conditioning, heating and shower amenities are all part of the package.
It is also worth mentioning that the same family owns a charming traditional grocery shop right in the middle of the harbor run by their son, featuring a captivating assortment of local products. Argyroula will certainly ensure that you feel at home here, just minutes away from the town and from Kalafati Beach. This is certainly one of the top hotels in Galaxidi and maintains a warm family element that everyone will enjoy.
