Are You Looking For 5 Star Hotels in Santorini?

Greece is one of those countries which is entirely different during high season and low season. Especially the islands. Santorini is one of the most-visited islands in Greece and it is no different here.
During the summer months, the 5 star hotels in Santorini are choc-a-bloc with tourists, conferences, weddings, meetings, and thousands of people milling about on the streets.But come winter (Yes - there is no autumn or spring in the tropics) and the islands teeming hotels suddenly become calmer, more peaceful and more homely.

A lot of hotels even down their shutters or perform renovations / extensions / re-designing during the low season. So, if you plan to visit the 5 star hotels in Santorini during the low season, do check out whether they are open or not. Most of the big 5 star hotels in Santorini do not close down for winter. It is just the smaller villas or the family run units that you need to check about.

During low-season, Santorini is a totally different place! The pace of life on the island slows down, the community returns to its original style of living, uninhabited by the tourist population. If you are looking for a getaway kind of holiday at a more economical price, you might consider visiting Santorini during the low-season. You will find a lot of peace & quiet, serenity and tranquility and overall, a very agreeable environment.

If you book early for the low-season, you might be able to fit the price of 5 star hotels in Santorini into your budget vacation!

A few local cafés, restaurants, banks, local bookshops, a few mom & pop stores, car hires and pharmacies will be open the year round as they service the locals as well as the tourists. The prices of the handicrafts and local produce also will be lower during this season. As winter in the islands is not very severe, you can still have your outdoor siesta by the poolside! Quite a few 5 star hotels in Santorini have outdoor Jacuzzis which have a hot / cold option. It is a marvelous experience to lounge in a hot Jacuzzi and while hours away gazing at the ocean!

Stay in a Bed and Breakfast When You Holiday in Britain

By Tony Lucas

It may not seem the first choice if you are visiting Britain for more than a few days but a Bed and Breakfast can be good value for money. Self catering may be an option but then you have to worry about getting in food, cooking and cleaning and if you compare prices, it can be much more economic to stay in a B&B. Hotels are pretty expensive in the City Centres and although the facilities they offer may be superior, do you really want them all?

If the answer to that is not really then consider using a Bed and Breakfast instead. Apart from fitness facilities, indoor swimming pools and in house entertainment, many of the better Bed and Breakfast properties will provide many of the same facilities as a city centre hotel, and sometime to a higher standard. Most British Bed and Breakfast establishments offer good, clean accommodation, your own key so you can come and go as you please and a good breakfast to start your day. Many will also provide an evening meal if you arrange it in advance or give notice of when you would like to have one.

Bed and Breakfasts can be found in every town and most villages throughout the British Isles. They range in size from a single room for letting to a house that has several rooms for hire. Anything over 6 to 8 rooms is strictly speaking classed as a Guest House but the operational functionality of a Guest and a Bed and Breakfast is almost identical. They are family run establishment where the owner lives on the premises and in that sense, usually has more interest in the well being and comfort of their guests than a Hotel that is part of a larger corporation.

Use one or more of the better accommodation websites to find the property that you want. Most will show a wide range of properties in a common format so you can easily compare one with another. Some will have facilities for videos of the Bed and Breakfast and the ability to print out the details. If you are travelling at short notice, use one of the sites that specialise in last minute and late bookings. They operate on the same principal as the airline sites and you can get some very good prices if you are willing to take the chance.

Dont be put off if the bed and breakfast is not graded by the Tourist Board (Visit Britain) or the AA. It is no longer a necessary requirement of a quality property. The various tourist organisations have finally got their act together and agreed a common grading process. Previously Visit Britain and the AA had different meanings to the star ratings and other symbols such as Crowns and Diamonds were used, these have all been scrapped and only stars are valid now, so in theory, you should be able to tell the standard of any bed and breakfast by its star rating. The grades go from one star to five stars and the more stars the more luxurious the property will be. Having said that, these star ratings are very expensive and have to be paid for by the property owner every season. Whilst the grading system does make a lot of sense and is a good guide to the quality of a property, a lot of very fine bed and breakfasts are not bothering with them any more and are saving the expense. There is a growing awareness amongst property owners that with the internet, competent websites can show sufficient photos and videos for visitors to be able to assess the quality of an establishment and not worry about an expensive, and sometimes, arbitrary grading process. The cost of websites of good quality has become well within the reach of Bed and Breakfast owners and is cheaper in the long run than an annual grading visit and fees.

Windsor Still Attracts After 1000 Years

By Chris D Brown


We might imagine that tourism was a nineteenth century invention and that the first people with leisure time to visit the castle and enjoy royal Windsor's riverside and its many restaurants and quality hotels were the Victorians. Just 20 miles from London, the arrival of trains in the Victorian era did indeed lead to a massive boost in regular visitors, but the start of Windsor tourism can be traced back much further than that.

In fact as early as the Late Medieval period, visitors from London and the surrounding counties made their way to Windsor in alarmingly vast numbers. Many would have described themselves as pilgrims, eager to see the holy bones of John Schorn who has apparently 'conjoured the devil into a boot'. Others would have been seeking relief from headaches. It was common knowledge that the hat that had once belonged to King Henry VI would cure anyone who put it on of the worst pains. For a small fee the hat was placed on the heads of the suffering during the 1500s. Others still would come to trade, at the three great fairs held each year beneath the castle walls. The Spring, Summer and Horse (autumn) fairs were the high points of the year and the population of Windsor would swell by up to 10 times during the festivities.

Of course the accommodation back then was a little more spartan than it is today, but on the same spot where the Shakespeare's 'Hart Inn' once stood, a fine hotel (now called 'The Harte and Garter') still stands to this day. Hotels in Windsor have been offering hospitality to travellers since shortly after the castle was built by William the Conqueror following his invasion of Britain in 1066 and continue to provide rest and recuperation after a long day of sightseeing.

There are a great number of fine restaurants and hotels in Windsor these days, notably Sir Christopher Wren's house by the river Wren, the architect of St Paul's Cathedral in London built the house in Windsor as a family home and now several hundred years later the same building offers top accommodation and fine dining in the riverside restaurant. Windsor has come a long way since hats and bones tempted visitors, but throughout time the crowning glory has been the great Castle itself, home to British monarchy for almost a thousand years and one of England's greatest attractions.

Read local residents reviews of the hotels of Windsor and come and stay in this most welcoming of English towns.
