Title: Anna Studios 2008
Post by: justphil on July 23, 2008, 07:25:59 PM
We just returned from 2 weeks at Anna Studios, and can say they are immaculate. Everything is kept spotlessly clean, even the walkways are washed down daily. The rooms are kept fresh and clean, linen changed twice weekly. Two bath and two hand towels twice weekly. There are 2 single beds which are comfortable.

The studios are quite spacious for two and have the benefit of cooking (2 ring + small oven) fridge, kettle, hot/cold water, ample cupboards and equipped with saucepans, cutlery, crockery and glasses. The shower-room has a hairdrier.

There is a lovely pool bar where you can get breakfast, snacks etc, and full range of drinks. The pool is surrounded by sunbeds, and suitable for all ages. It is kept beautifully clean, and is very inviting.

Most of all, the family is wonderful. Anna works tirelessly to meet all her guests needs and is warm and friendly. Tasos her son runs the bar most of the time and is a really helpful and likeable chap. Kostas (hubby) keeps things together, filling in wherever he is needed.

We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. ten out of ten!

so Jen and me and Sue and Ian were not wrong then saz. Anna Studios is a great place to stay in Arillas.

Anna offers a perfect pool and sunbed holiday, but it is easy to get to all the alternatives - the beach is not very far and San Stefanos is near too. That is of course if you can resist the temptations like a Mythos in the Coconut on the way to the beach in Arillas (we never can.....)

So glad you had as good a time as we did. Another Arillas Addict has been born...

Hi Sue and Ian

Hope you have a good flight home and enjoy your last few days. We did come up to see you Wednesday when the L'pool match was on in the bar, but must have missed you (after 10 pm) sorry not to meet up again.  We had a lovely time at the Mathraki studios and enjoyed your company.  Will have to have a long chat online soon as you get back.  Not nice being back here very cold and windy, only had 5 mossie bites but they are itching like hell!

Tara both Nan and Barry :)

Just spent two wonderful weeks at Anna’s

The studios for 4 are very spacious. The first floor has a cooking area, table with seating for 4, 2 beds and wardrobe with drawers & a bedside cabinet. The bathroom is above typical Greek standards as it also has a holder for the shower head. The second floor with two beds and a dressing table with hairdryer and more drawer space.

The pool with spa area (give a thumbs up to Tasos when your sat on the step and he’ll turn on the jets for you) and sun bed area are nice and clean and also the area around the pool doesn’t get too slippy. Just as well as I was forever telling the kids to stop running!

The bar area with a fantastic view of the ocean serves breakfast & snacks /meals during the day (I recommend the full breakfast & then special chips for lunch) Also beers spirits etc and served I can recommend a 7 star Metaxa to finish the night or a 12 star if you can find someone to buy you one (Cheers Sue & Ian)

The family is wonderful. Anna works really hard yet is always friendly, warm and will stop for a chat. Tasos Anna’s son runs the bar really helpful with a dry sense of humour. Kostas Anna’s husband is everywhere if he’s not in the pool bar he’s in the car rental place.

I’d recommend Anna’s to anyone 10/10

Thanks Anna

Mr England

Just had two fab weeks at Anna's (returned home Aug 23rd) Although we had stayed in Arillas several times before this was the first time at Anna's.
Well what can we say - it was a perfect holiday !
To Anna and family we would like to say a big thank you.
The appartments, the hospitality of all the family in such a chill out place as Arillas is very hard to beat.

Anna - if you need any cleaners for 2009 you have 5 volunteers here !
You can pay us in Mythos and Club sandiches

Lots of love, Mark, Mandy, Ellice, Travis & Alina
Now back in Southampton where the weather has been awful except yesterday when a big yelllow thing was seen in the sky and it reached a massive 25 degrees C !!

I have to echo the sentiments shown above, We only stayed at Annas from Monday til Friday as we extended our package but I wish we'd stayed there for the whole of our holiday.

The studio for four we were in was lovely, the layout was very practical and it was spacious and well equipped with fridge, hairdryer, cooking facilities etc. The shower was excellent too.

I really enjoyed chatting to Anna and Kostas and Tassos was very helpful too, they've been treated badly by a travel company in the past but they stay positive and make sure that they give the highest standard of care possible to all of thier guests, if the Australian fella ever sells the house just up the hill give me a shout!

Love to you all
Graham
