Unbelievable Dimitra House: Your Stavros, Greece Dream Vacation Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the sometimes-chaotic, always-charming world of Unbelievable Dimitra House in Stavros, Greece. And trust me, after this, you'll be dreaming of sun-drenched beaches and a well-deserved escape.
First things first: the elephant in the room - Accessibility. Look, I’m not a wheelchair user, so my perspective is limited, but Dimitra House claims to have facilities for Guests with Disabilities. This is great! However, I desperately wish hotels would go beyond the bare minimum and actually emphasize the degree of accessibility! I saw "Facilities for Disabled Guests" on the list, let's hope it is more than just "the bare minimum". I really need more information. If accessibility is a major deal for you, PLEASE contact them directly and quiz them relentlessly! They're probably lovely people, but you've got to verify.
Alright, let’s move on before I start rambling about how frustrating vague promises can be.
The Cleanliness Blitzkrieg: (and my near-obsessive reaction)
Okay. So, Cleanliness. I am a bit of a germophobe. Don't judge me! The fact that they are going HAM on cleaning is the first thing that had my ears perked up. “Anti-viral cleaning products,” “Daily disinfection,” “Rooms sanitized between stays” – it sounds like my mom is running the place (bless her heart). Hygiene certification? YES. Staff trained in safety protocol? Double YES. Honestly, after the last few years? Thank. God. This isn't just smart; it's reassuring. I am actually willing to go into this place after hearing of how they keep up with cleanliness.
And look at this! A Breakfast in room option for those who are a bit like me!
Now, about the food…
Food, Glorious Food (and a Stomach Grumbling with Anticipation)
Okay, let's talk about the fuel! Restaurants are listed, and there's a room service [24-hour]. Score! And it's not just one restaurant; there is a A la carte in restaurant. (And even a Vegetarian restaurant - good for the planet, good for the belly. I love that!) The Breakfast [buffet] is likely to be a real treat, too. There are Asian, International, and Western cuisines in the restaurant. And, of course, there's the necessity of a Bar, and Poolside bar.
Did I mention the availability of Coffee/tea in restaurant? I am sold!
The Things To Do (Or, How to Actually Relax):
This is where Dimitra House really seems to shine, especially if you're looking for a dose of "ahhh."
- Spa/sauna? Check.
- Massage? Double check.
- Hot springs? Probably, they don't list it, but since it is in Greece, just be sure to ask!
I could seriously see myself spending HOURS in the Sauna or steaming myself silly in the Steamroom. And the Pool with view? Come ON. That’s practically mandatory for a Greek escape.
Don't forget the Body scrub and, if you're feeling extra fancy, a Body wrap. This is the kind of place where you melt into vacation mode.
They also have a Fitness center, just in case you feel the need to atone for all the baklava you'll be devouring. Again, the devil is in the details - what is the *quality* of these facilities?
The Nitty-Gritty: Services and Conveniences:
Okay, let's get practical. WiFi? They boast Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Wi-Fi in public areas. That is great, I hate hotels that charge for Wi-Fi!
- Air conditioning in public area? Needed!
- Concierge? Always a bonus.
- Currency exchange? Helpful.
- Daily housekeeping? YAS QUEEN!
- Laundry service, Dry cleaning, and Ironing service? Thank heavens! Less time spent stressing, more time spent… well, relaxing!
- Safety deposit boxes? Smart.
- Airport transfer? Highly recommend, especially after a long flight.
- Car park [free of charge]? Essential.
For the Kids (or those who are still kids at heart)*
I don't have kids, but the fact that they have a Babysitting service and are Family/child friendly is a huge plus for families.
The Rooms: Your Personal Oasis
Okay, let's talk about the rooms. They seem well-equipped . There's Air conditioning (essential!), Air conditioning in public area, Alarm clock (to wake you up, or tell you it is time to get a massage), Bathrobes, Bathroom phone (seriously?), Blackout curtains. . . they are thinking of everything. I love that they have Complimentary tea. The Free bottled water is a nice touch. You’ve got a Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, and In-room safe box. They have a Seating area, for that much-needed time with a great book.
Getting Around:
They are offering Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, and Valet parking. Basically, you are covered with travel.

Escape to Paradise: Asia Novo Boutique Hotel, Kalibo - Your Philippine Dream Getaway
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're heading to Dimitra House in Stavros, Greece. Prepare for a trip that's less "polished brochure" and more "slightly sunburnt, perpetually coffee-stained journal." This is going to be a wild ride, and I'm probably going to lose my sunglasses somewhere along the way.
Dimitra House, Stavros – The Messy, Beautiful Truth (and Maybe Some Tears)
Day 1: Arrival and the Glorious Greaseball of Freedom
- Morning (like, REALLY morning): Flight hell. Seriously, airports should come with a complimentary shot of something strong. Delayed flight. Panicked texting. I'm pretty sure I accidentally judged a stranger's travel pillow a little too harshly. But hey, we made it! Landed in Thessaloniki. The air smells like… possibility? And maybe a hint of impending sunburn.
- Midday: Renting a car. Let the Greek driving adventure begin! (cue dramatic music). I'm not gonna lie, I'm a nervous driver. My inner monologue is currently screaming, "KEEP RIGHT! KEEP RIGHT!". But honestly, the coastal drive to Stavros is absolutely breathtaking. We are driving on the coast, and I think I can see the Aegean Sea.
- Late Afternoon: ARRIVAL! Dimitra House. It's… charmingly rustic. Think "grandma's seaside cottage meets a slightly wonky Greek postcard." The balcony! The view! Oh, the view! Suddenly, that awful flight feels like a distant memory. We're greeted by Dimitra (imagine a Greek goddess, but more… earthy and welcoming. She speaks in Greek, I stumble through my broken Greek, and somehow we understand each other perfectly, even though it took a while to find the right room.
- Evening: The Feast of the Gods (or at least, a very delicious taverna). We stumbled upon a place by the sea, and ordered everything we could. The grilled octopus was an absolute revelation. I'm still dreaming about it. Drank WAY too much retsina (it's the law, right?). Tried to order dessert, ended up with four plates of fruit. Ate it all. No regrets. Woke up in an alley. (kidding! … kind of).
Day 2: Beach Bliss and the Accidental Lobster
- Morning: The sun rises gloriously. Coffee on the balcony. This is what life is all about, right? The sea sparkles a million shades of blue. I think I just spent a good hour just staring. Pure bliss.
- Midday: Beach time! Lagonisi beach. The sand is warm, the water is crystal clear. We spend the day swimming, sunbathing, and generally doing nothing… in the best possible way. Also, accidentally dropped my hat into the sea. (Don't worry, I retrieved it… eventually). Tried to speak a few Greek words.
- Anecdote/Rant: Okay, so the beach setup works in a strange way. You're expected to order something at the beach bar to use the sun loungers. That's fine. But… the service? Let's just say it operates on "island time." Waited an hour for a beer. Almost gave up and started swimming to the bar myself. But hey, it's Greece. You learn to slow down. Or you spontaneously combust from the sun. Either way, it's an experience!
- Late Afternoon: Back to Dimitra House for a quick shower and a nap. (Needed it. The sun is STRONG here.) Woke up starving.
- Evening: The Lobster Debacle: After that delicious octopus, we decided to be ambitious. We found a restaurant with a lobster tank. Thought, "Lobster! How glamorous!" Ordered one. It was HUGE. I mean, the size of my arm, honestly. We spent twenty minutes wrestling with it (metaphorically, of course). The lobster won. We surrendered. Ate it anyway, but it was an utterly ridiculous experience. I'm pretty sure a sea creature just beat me.
Day 3: Exploring and the Unexpected Tragedy of the Souvlaki
- Morning: Drove up to a hill from which we could see Stavros. Amazing view. A moment of pure serenity. My internal critic, surprisingly, took a day off
- Midday: The local markets. Such a vibrant place with stalls overflowing with local produce, and the smell of fresh herbs and baking bread. I wish I had bought a bit more to take back.
- Afternoon: More beach time. This time, we tried a different beach. Different vibes. Equally beautiful. I took the "do nothing but feel sand, hear waves" approach.
- Evening: THE SOUVLAKI TRAGEDY! This is where the trip takes a turn for the dramatic. Found a promising-looking souvlaki place. I was ready for the best souvlaki of my life. The anticipation was delicious! But… disaster struck. The souvlaki arrived… dry. Overcooked. No, no, no. It was like someone in the kitchen had a personal vendetta against me. I left feeling utterly heartbroken. This event will be remembered. And a little less dramatic
- Emotional Reaction: I actually shed a single tear. Okay, maybe three. Souvlaki is sacred. I'm still not over it. The emotional scars run deep.
- Late Evening: Back at Dimitra house. We watched the sunset, and for a moment, all was right with the world again.
Day 4: Boat Trip and the Pursuit of the Perfect Sunset
- Morning: Boat trip! Hired a small boat. The thought of the Aegean Sea! The freedom! The thought of the next days!
- Midday: Sun, sea, and salty air. We spent the morning cruising along the coast, swimming in secluded coves (gorgeous!), and generally feeling like rich and famous people.
- Afternoon: Decided to explore the islands a bit. The water was so clear, we could see the sea floor.
- Evening: Sunset hunting. We're on a mission. Went to this gorgeous beach to watch the sunset. The sky exploded with color. Red, orange, purple… it was breathtaking. Had a moment where I actually felt a little bit of something in my soul connect to this gorgeous place. Took about fifty pictures. Probably didn't capture the magic. But hey, at least I have some memories.
- Quirky Observation: The seagulls here are aggressive. They have no fear, and they're always eyeing your food. I swear, one of them tried to steal my ice cream. Maybe that's why the souvlaki was so bad… birds.
Day 5: Departure (and a Strong Sense of Melancholy)
- Morning: Sigh. Packing. This is always the saddest part. A morning coffee on the balcony, soaking up the last drops of that amazing view. One final glance at the sea.
- Midday: Checking out. Dimitra said goodbye with a hug and a promise to "come back, you crazy people!" (okay, maybe not the "crazy people" part).
- Afternoon: Drive back to the airport. Reflecting on all the amazing moments. All the messy, glorious moments.
- Evening: Flight home. Already missing Greece. Missing the food. Missing the sun. Missing the chaos. I can't wait to return.
Unbelievable Dimitra House: Your Stavros, Greece Dream Vacation Awaits! (Maybe…) - Let's Tackle Your Questions!
So, Dimitra House… Is it *actually* unbelievable? Because, let's be honest, "unbelievable" gets thrown around a *lot*.
Alright, alright, let's get real. "Unbelievable" might be pushing it... *sometimes*. Look, it's not the Burj Khalifa. It's a charming, traditional Greek house, and honestly, it *mostly* lives up to the hype. I mean, the views? Unbelievable. Seriously. Sunsets over the Aegean Sea? Forget about it. Jaw-dropping. I actually *sobbed* the first night. No, seriously. I’m not a crier, but the sheer beauty of it just... got to me. My husband, bless his heart, just patted my head and said, "They’re paying us to be here." Okay, that's a lie, he didn't say that, he said "You alright?" But you get the idea! The charm? Definitely there. The perfectly Instagrammable bougainvillea cascading over the walls? Check. The slightly wonky plumbing in the master bathroom? ...We'll get to that.
Okay, practical stuff: What's the deal with the location? Is it easy to get around?
Stavros is pretty small, which is part of its appeal. Dimitra House is in a good spot, close enough to the tavernas and the beach to be convenient, but far enough to be quiet. Getting around? You'll probably want a car. Driving in Greece is… an experience. Road signs are suggestions, and scooters are *everywhere*. Embrace the chaos! We rented a tiny Fiat 500. Adorable, yes. Practical? Debatable. Trying to parallel park on those narrow, winding streets? Let's just say I made friends with the local dent repair guy. (He seemed to be making friends with everyone, actually.) Public transport? Well, there's a bus that *sometimes* runs. Best to stick to the car, and maybe take out extra insurance. Seriously.
The house itself... What's it like? What am I *really* getting?
Imagine a classic Greek island house. White-washed walls, blue shutters, a balcony overlooking the sea (seriously, those views). Dimitra House *mostly* delivers. The bedrooms are simple but comfortable. The kitchen… well, it's functional. Don't expect a gourmet chef's paradise. The appliances are a little… let's say, "characterful." We tried to make coffee one morning, and the machine almost caught fire. Literally. Luckily, my husband, armed with a fire extinguisher that looked older than me, saved the day. (He took a photo of me cowering in the corner. The brute!) The living room is cozy, with a fireplace – which is great... until you realize it's summer and you're sweating. The furniture is comfortable, but don't expect IKEA quality, it's more of an "antique-y" vibe. Charming, remember? And the WiFi? Spotty at best. Prepare to disconnect... or learn to yell at the router in Greek. (I did both.)
Let's talk about the downsides. Because there *have* to be some, right? Nobody’s perfect (except maybe those sunsets...).
Okay, buckle up. The downsides… the plumbing. Oh, the plumbing. It's… temperamental. One day, you'll have a scalding hot shower fit for a god. The next day? A dribble of lukewarm water. We learned to appreciate the cold showers, actually. Builds character! The mosquitoes are relentless. Pack serious bug spray. Forget the stuff that smells of lavender and rainbows. You need the hardcore stuff, the stuff that actually keeps them away. And the noise. The roosters. Oh, sweet heavens, the roosters. They start crowing at, like, 4 AM. Every. Single. Day. We tried earplugs. We considered moving to another island. We even briefly considered adopting a rooster-hunting dog. In the end, we just accepted it as part of the experience, and probably lost a few years of sleep. And the neighbors… they are *loud*. But they are lovely. And they’ll offer you grapes from their vine. See? It's all about balance.
What about the food? What can I expect to eat? Are there good restaurants nearby?
Oh, the food! Now, we're talking! Greek food is *divine*. Fresh seafood, grilled meats, salads bursting with flavor... Stavros has some fantastic tavernas. Expect traditional Greek dishes, like souvlaki, moussaka, and the freshest grilled octopus you've ever tasted. I literally dream about the fish. The local bakery makes the most incredible bread. Seriously, I gained like five pounds in a week, just from the bread and the feta. Warning: The portions are huge. Pace yourself! And the local wine? It's cheap, cheerful, and goes down incredibly easily. (Maybe *too* easily, if you're anything like me.) Don’t be shy about ordering anything, just embrace it all, the local culture is so warm. We ate at a taverna where they didn't even bother with a menu; the owner just brought us whatever was fresh that day. It was the best meal of the trip. I started crying again, just out of pure happiness.
Is it family-friendly? Or more suited for couples/groups? Be honest!
Dimitra House *could* be family-friendly, but… (and there's always a but, isn't there?)… it really depends on your family. If you have small children, be aware that there are a lot of stairs. Very charming, yes. But also potentially a nightmare with toddlers. The balcony railings are a bit… open. You know, “character”. There's not a ton of space, and the internet, as we discussed, can be troublesome. More suited for couples or groups of friends who want a relaxed, authentic experience. We shared it with another couple and had an absolute blast. Playing cards, drinking wine on the balcony until the sun comes up, sharing the cooking.... It definitely needs a certain type of personality. But if you’re wanting a relaxing, authentic experience, you’ll want to be around.
What's the best time of year to go?
Summer is hot, obviously. Really hot. Like, "I need to take a nap in a cave" hot. But the sea is warm, the beaches are buzzing, and the tavernas are open late. May/June or September/October are probably the sweet spots. Still warm, still sunny, fewer crowds. But, honestly? I'd go any time. Just pack accordingly. And be prepared for the occasional rain shower – even in July. We got caught in a torrential downpour one day and had to seek refuge under a tiny olive tree. (Romantic, right? It actually was.) Just remember that no matter when you go, pack your sunscreen, a hat, and a sense of adventure. And maybe some earplugs.
