My partner and I are just back from the Castelli after a fantastic two weeks. We are both in our early twenties and had the holiday of our lives. Spiros and Anastacia are more than the perfect hosts, the hotel is the cleanest I have been to, and we did not encounter any form of prejudice and neither were we treated any differently because of our age. We too had our reservations before we got there, but only because of the numerous people on this page who have a pathological aversion to the truth.

The 'riot' act that Spiros sits you down for, well it is pretty bad - He gives everybody a drink, doesn't raise his voice once, tells jokes and has a smile throughout. So anyone who can't handle that probably isn't in a stable condition to fly in the first place.

I hope everybody has a holiday as good as we did, and that the reports on this page will start reflecting the truth.

What a shame that Donna cancelled her holiday to the nicest hotel on the island because of some of the idiots on this site. This hotel is brilliant and the owners are nothing short of fantastic. I have never been to another hotel where the owners make you feel so at home, and ensure your stay is nothing but first class.

My partner and I were there in May of this year and had a great holiday. We are both in our twenties and encountered no problems with either Spiros or Anastacia, in fact, quite the opposite. There is NO riot act, neither Spiros nor Anastasia will take a dislike to you purely for the time you come in at night/morning and never are they rude. Both of them put up with far more than any of us would tolerate (i.e. beds being broken and not paid for, arrogant holiday-makers etc).

If you are going and have concerns, just go. Like myself you will be pleasantly suprised when you arrive and have a great holiday. Don't be influenced by the mindless critics of the Castelli on this page.

Enjoy.

Laura,
You will not be disappointed. My partner and I are of a similar age to you and we had a great holiday. The main strip in Laganas is busy but the Castelli hotel is away from all the action and very quiet. There are an abundant amount of restaurants and bars on the beach front that are much quieter and a lot nicer!!!

There are so many excursions to do, which all come highly recommended, but shop around as prices will fluctuate drastically. Try the greek islands restaurant, or blue sea. Both are good and reasonable. A walk up to Aghios Sostis is also worth a trip. The restaurants on the front overlook turtle island, very pretty.

You will have a good holiday, don't mis-interpret the riot act, it isn't one. Enjoy yourself and have fun! Let me know how you get on!

Antony.

About 500 yards. Not too far to stagger.
