Irida Boutique Hotel

This is an extremely stylish, peaceful retreat set on a steep hillside overlooking the beautiful bay below. Although it is in a secluded, quite private location, Parga town centre is only a ten-fifteen minute walk away. The property is the brain-child of Themos Chrisovalantis, who developed it from scratch some years ago. All rooms are front-facing, arranged in a delightfully higgledy-piggledy arrangement, cascading down the slope. All the rooms have either terraces or balconies with copious use of flowers and shrubs so that everyone shares the view. We spent our wedding anniversary there and were upgraded upon arrival to the Honeymoon Suite, “Stars”. As you can image this is a fantastic room - large, modern but stylish - boasting not one but two balconies complete with an outdoor jacuzzi. Breakfast is the pre-ordered, delivered to the room arrangement, which means you can enjoy it on your balcony. However, the drawback is that if it is delayed, your hot drinks do suffer. The orange juice is fresh but mixed on occasion with rather too much orange squash. If coming by car, whilst there is limited parking, beware that the driveway up to the property is extremely steep so that your first gear will be tested – as will your own legs after you’ve gone up and down it a couple of times a day! Themos Chrisovalantis is a delightful host, a true hands-on owner/manager delivering many services personally, including a hotel tour upon arrival. In fact, he could do with a few more staff as it feels the place is managed ‘on a shoestring’ sometimes. Those there are, are always friendly and helpful. A polished, delightful enterprise.

As soon as we arrived Chris (the owner and hands on Manager) was there to greet us with a glass of bubbly.. We knew from then we were in for a treat We had the stars bedroom which was perfect Great view..jakuzzi on balcony etc Had breakfast served on our balcony by our wonderful waiter… In walking distance to the centre of town Would definitely go again I would definitely recommend this lovely hotel !!!

The Irida Boutique Hotel is a really lovely hotel in a great location and run by a very friendly and professional team. Everything is exceptionally clean and all the rooms are individually designed and decorated, which gives them character and makes a nice change from the ‘standard’ style hotel room. It’s location is ideal with a great view over Parga town beach and the sea, yet you are literally only 2-3 minutes from the centre of Parga with all its amenities, harbour and beach. Also, because it sits above the town, it makes walking to the old town and Valtos Beach area much easier. The food was all very good and the service from every member of the team was excellent, they really do care about giving you a great holiday. As mentioned by many others, Chris the owner takes great pride in his hotel and along with all his team, he works hard to ensure everything is perfect. In addition Chris will give you recommendations and guidance for anything you want, to help ensure you have the very best holiday possible. This is a great hotel and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Absolutely liked everything about this hotel. I highly recommend Irida Boutique Hotel for the delicious breakfast options to cozy rooms with stunning views and friendly staff. The suites were very clean and comfortable with elegant decor and private jacuzzi with stunning views of Parga and Ionian sea. The infinity pool offers amazing views while relaxing with a glass of wine or two! The hotel is located near to many amenities and within walking distance of Parga center and seaside. Irida is a truly gem of Parga and the manager Mr. Chrysovalantis is very helpful and always there to assist you in any way and make sure that you will have a wonderful stay! We had wonderful holidays in this amazing hotel and everything exceeded our expectations.

PARGA’S Gem We have travelled far and wide stayed in some pretty prestigious hotels, but this has to be handsdown one that will top them all. From the moment you arrive you are greeted with so much warmth and respect, your seated down and Chris offers you a chill glass of water and a traditional sweet, while you’re unwinding in the comfort of the Hotel foyer he begins to explain your surrounds, then to top it all off, he was generous enough to upgrade us to the superior-suite. Well believe me, this was extremely unexpected but hands down luxurious in every sense of the word. Opulent & Romantic such amazing news from the room situated on the fifth level accessible by state of the lift or stairs if your game . Breakfast is served at a time suitable to you up until 11 am on your own private balcony as all rooms have. So much variety to choose from and cook to perfection. The staff are available every second of the day, you don’t have to lift a finger, special shout out to Elia he was so warm friendly and respectful. The pool is front and centre and the daybeds alone are pure bliss. Your room is serviced every day and pool towels provided. Luxury bathroom amenities provided that smell so nice. You’re situated in the perfect location beach a few metres away also all the best cabins and shops. Stone are away Mykonos on the smallest scale. You have boutique Hotel will be on my list of places I must return to in future. We are in heaven both my sister and her husband also had the same experience and thankful and grateful to Chris boutique style hotel which is so much more personal attention to detail is spot on. Don’t look elsewhere it’s all here at this hotel. You’re not regret it.

We were a group of 8 ladies who visited in June GOOD POINTS Beautiful setting with amazing views. Friendly, very hard working waiters, couldn't fault them. Our room was lovely, maids did a great job keeping everywhere clean. Sunbeds had thick mattresses and are really comfortable. Bad points They confirmed by email they could cater for vegans. They didn't. Chef refused to add avocado to a salad as he thinks it doesn't belong there! No milk or yogurt substitute, the nearby supermarket sold both. When I pointed this out to the manager he said he would speak to the chef. However no one got back to me re this. My friend asked for a side dish of chips, chef said no as it didn't go with her main course. We also asked for 4 twin rooms which was confirmed by email, we got 4 doubles. We asked for the beds to be changed, they said yes but only gave us an extra sheet. Conclusion If you are a couple and eat dairy and eggs, you will have a great holiday If you want twin beds you won't get them. If vegan, sadly go elsewhere
