Porto Scoutari Romantic Hotel and Spa is an ideal place to stay when visiting the Greek island of Patmos. Charming, relaxing, and serene, the Portos Scoutari Hotel is a popular luxury hotel in Patmos for very good reasons. Read on to find out why.
Porto Scoutari Romantic Hotel and Spa
If you're traveling around the Dodecanese islands and are going to Patmos, consider a treat when it comes to choosing which hotel to stay at!
Positioned on a hill with sea views over Meloi bay, Porto Scoutari Romantic Hotel and Spa is about a 5 minute drive from the ferry port at Skala. It's a purpose built complex, and the attention to detail is second to none thanks to the owner Elena Scoutari.
This includes everything you might expect from a luxury hotel, including some things you might not think of such as a bespoke water filtering and storage system. The impressive pool is centre point though.
Private Bungalows
Accommodation is in a series of bungalows, and the main features of the hotel include a swimming pool, beautiful garden (with a parrot!), and spa centre.
My room was a huge one with an oversized bed, bathroom, and separate spa-shower. (Which I didn't use – I will have to use it next time!).
The entire hotel complex gave me a sense of peace and calm due to the layout, ambience, and choice of simple but effective colours.
The hotel has a good choice of Greek food and contemporary creations. Also consider visiting some of the amazing places to eat in Patmos!
What made Porto Scoutari Romantic Hotel and Spa stand out?
For me, Porto Scoutari had that perfect blend of great facilities, and more importantly, polite, helpful staff.
They would always check if things were ok, and had the discretion to know when to leave guests in peace, and when to be engaged in conversation. This is something you almost never get with a big chain hotel, and it helped make my stay there all the more refreshing.
Porto Scoutari Romantic Hotel and Spa in brief
I think the hotel appeal to couples (the clue is in the name!), and attracts those who want to enjoy the little extra touches that make a place stand out.
I had a couple of conversations with the owner. It seems that they have a very high rate of re-booking which is always a good sign. If you are the sort of person that likes your own space and peace and quiet, this is for you!
