Halcyon Days Suites

This hotel is simply amazing. It’s a real hidden gem. Whilst its official star rating is 3, this is only because there is no spa or restaurant. This is every bit a 5star hotel. Every room is slightly different. We stayed in alcyone which is a cave room. The room itself is beautiful. Contemporary furnishings,all high quality. There is also a Marshall speaker which you can connect your phone to. The small kitchenette with a full size fridge was also a wonderful addition. This room has its own private pool, with jets to make part of it a spa and because it was heated it was the perfect temperature. It was very clean and serviced each day with fresh towels etc. Breakfast was served on your terrace (or inside if too windy). It was exceptional and beautifully presented with every day a surprise. Always eggs(cooked differently each day) with a savoury and sweet treat along with croissants. The staff are exceptional and will go above and beyond to make your stay special. The location is very quiet as it’s on the edge of the village so not many people passing by. Staff greet you in the square when you arrive and help with luggage. It’s a 5 minute walk (not accessible by car). Although it’s up hill it’s perfectly manageable, although not suitable if wheelchairs or severe mobility issues. I am late 40s and have heart failure. I managed the walk not only to the hotel but around the village with no problems, at least twice a day. Just take your time. Pyrgos itself is stunning. Very pretty and we loved walking to the restaurants for dinner each night. Our favourite was Cava Alta. I would definitely recommend the hotel. We had a perfect week, with perfect weather around 25 degrees. Not bad for first week of October.
