点评:There are hotels with marble lobbies, matching bathrobes and a small army of people trained to smile at you.
And then there’s Ipanema Hotel in Tigaki.
Old school. Basic. Spotlessly clean. No bulls*#t
And absolutely brilliant.
The real reason you come here isn’t the building. It’s the people. Terrie and Dennie are the kind of hosts who somehow make you feel less like a customer and more like you’ve wandered into the home of friends you haven’t seen for a few years.
That’s increasingly rare.
There’s a proper family feel to this place. People talk to each other. People remember your name. One beer becomes another.
A cocktail appears. Then another. The sun goes down and suddenly you realise you’ve been sitting at the bar for hours and have absolutely no desire to be anywhere else.
The beers are cold. The cocktails are fantastic. The rooms are simple, clean and exactly what they need to be.
No pretence. No unnecessary luxury. No attempt to turn Greece into some sanitised five-star resort experience.
Just good people, good drinks, warm nights and genuine hospitality.
And really, what the hell else do you need?
Terrie and Dennie — you’re absolute stars.
Ipanema isn’t just somewhere you stay in Tigaki. It’s somewhere you become part of the family.
We’ll be back.
翻译:有些酒店拥有大理石装饰的大堂、配套的浴袍,还有一大群受过专业训练、随时对你面带微笑的服务员。
而位于蒂加基的伊帕内玛酒店则截然不同。
传统风格,设施简单,干净得一尘不染,没有任何花哨的噱头。
却极为出色。
你选择来这儿的真正原因并非酒店本身,而是那里的人。特里和丹尼就是那种能让你感觉自己并非只是个住客,而像是回到了多年未见的朋友的家中一般的主人。
这样的体验如今已越来越难得了。这里有着浓厚的家庭氛围。人们互相交谈,还会记住你的名字。一杯啤酒下肚后,紧接着又想喝下一杯。
鸡尾酒一杯接一杯地端上来。太阳渐渐西沉,这时你才猛然意识到:自己已经在吧台前坐了好几个小时,而且完全不想去别的地方。
啤酒冰爽可口,鸡尾酒也棒极了。房间布置简单而整洁,恰到好处,完全符合所需。
没有做作,也没有多余的奢华。绝不会试图把希腊打造成一个经过精心包装的五星级度假胜地。
只有善良的人们、美味的饮品、温暖的夜晚以及发自内心的热情好客。
说真的,你还需要别的什么呢?
Terrie和Dennie——你们简直太棒了!
Ipanema并不仅仅是你在Tigaki的下榻之处,它还是让你融入家庭般温暖的所在。
我们一定会再来的。
