Hanioti Village Hotel Halkidiki

Tucked away in lush gardens and ringed by pine trees, this hotel is certainly in a good-looking pocket. Factor in a golden sandy beach that's just a five-minute walk away - plus the shops and bars of Hanioti just a little further on - and this place scores high marks for setting.Sleek and simple describes the hotel itself. On the outside you've got wooden balustrades, whitewashed walls, and terracotta roof tiles. They've gone for the minimalist look, and statement headboards stand out against the cream backdrop. Slick touches include LCD TVs and minibars.It's worth mentioning that air-conditioning is available in each room. What really sets this place apart, though, are the staff. The personal touch is really rated here, and that comes across in the form of home-cooked meals. Breakfasts are a help-yourself affair, while dinner is à la carte –with a twist.
