During my 3 week vacation in Greece, I had the occasion to spend a week in Ithaki, the greater part of which saw me accommodated in the Hotel Familia, Vathy’s historic Olive Press, most extraordinarily converted into a boutique hotel. What a beautiful experience! Not only has the conversion of this 19th Century building been done with care and consideration,... More

A boutique hotel in a beautifully restored building which used to house an olive press. Spacious tasteful rooms with attention to detail. Situated in a perfect quiet spot of VAthy just a minute away from the seafront bars & rests. Freshly prepared breakfast every day served in a beautiful quiet terrace. A nice touch: the free bicycles that guests can... More

This hotel is my idea of bliss - boutique, stylish, beautiful...but more than that, the team there are a delight. Christina and Makis makes sure their guests are happy and comfortable. It is incredible value - I would return in a blink. You feel safe yet you are given space to relax and the quiet is fantastic. Perfection. More

What sets is apart from other local hotels is the attention to detail which can be seen in everything from the room design and the organic... More

This hotel is a lovingly refurbished old building where the architect has created a light and airy environment which retains many of the historical features. Quality fittings and linen have been used throughout and the rooms are spotlessly cleaned daily. The full breakfasts prepared by the owner Mrs Christina Kostiri are different each day and include wonderful yoghurt and traditional... More

Tastefully refurbished Oil Press with an incredibly kind, helpful and professional staff. The decor of the hotel is a blend of modern with traditional elements very well conceived to marry the rugged aspect of the old oil press structure. The breakfast is terrific and the location of the hotel is very good providing access by foot to the port area... More

I stayed recently at Familia for the wedding of my step daughter. It is a very nice - converted oil-refinery - boutique hotel with excellent breakfast and fresh home made cakes and desserts. Very clean and comfortable rooms with organic cosmetics. It is conveniently located close to the port (a couple of minutes walk). The staff is very friendly and... More

A wonderful small family-run hotel, set in a refurbished olive press. Very comfortable rooms - ours, for example, had a private terrace. Delicious breakfast, with homemade bread and cakes. Perfect for a quiet getaway. More
