Bacchus

There was a lot to like about this pension, but I’m afraid the positives were overshadowed by the fact that the AC failed to cool the room to a pleasant temperature for sleeping. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I’m compelled to share here that I wish we had stayed somewhere else. To be fair, we stayed here in July. The high was around 91°F/33°C that day. We arrived around 7 pm and found the room (up one flight of stairs) unbelievably warm. It felt as hot or hotter than the air outside. We turned on the AC and quickly discovered that there was no way to leave the room together while the AC was cooling it off. The key card had to stay in the slot. No other card would work to keep it on. If we opened the door to sit on the balcony the AC turned off. We couldn’t sit by the pool. We were reluctant to go to dinner. We were hot and sticky after visiting ancient sites all day and had hoped to cool off at the hotel. Around 8:30 pm, we headed to dinner at the restaurant on property. We told the gentleman at the reception that the room was very warm and wasn’t cooling much and asked if it would be possible to have a second room key to continue cooling the room while we were at dinner. A polite no. Was it possible to get a fan for the room? Again, a polite no. My husband and I both slept quite poorly. Even by morning, the room wasn’t particularly cool. Our kids had a room across the hall; while theirs was a little cooler when we arrived due to the sun being on the mountain-side of the building, theirs wasn’t particularly cool by morning either. For reference, our thermostat at home is set to 75°F/24°C in summer. Most folks we know keep theirs even colder. We weren’t looking for an icebox, just a pleasant temperature for sleeping. The positives—this is a lovely spot with beautiful mountain views. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. Our dinner onsite was delicious. Breakfast was ample and tasty; fresh juices were a treat. We enjoyed being off the beaten path, away from crowds. The underperforming AC made it hard to rest well. I’d prefer to stay here a different time of year.

My wife and I spent a wonderful night at Bacchus. The staff was friendly, the room comfortable with a great view, and the food at the restaurant delicious. Would highly recommend.

This is a serviceable little inn with a decent restaurant and pool, tucked into the side of a hill in a tiny town near Ancient Olympia. It was fairly priced. We prefer a firmer bed, so the foam mattress was not very good for us. The included breakfast was sufficient, although the pre-cooked fried eggs were too rubbery to eat. The staff is friendly, and the view is excellent.

This will be a long review. Bacchus is a hidden gem if you are planning to visit Olympia. It is located in a small village called Ancient Pisa, approximately 5km from the archeological site. Quaint little hotel and restaurant combined. The rooms have balconies that overlook miles of hills and olive plantations and NOTHING else. If you are craving some peace and solitude, this will be the place. Very good food in the restaurant with breakfast included. Very welcoming manager and his staff. The rooms are clean and well appointed with even a jacuzzi in the one we stayed in. If you are visiting in the peak of summer, Bacchus has a beautiful pool overlooking the hills! Will return in a heartbeat.

Nice boutique hotel away from the busy area. Restaurant is great as well.

Great little hotel with a wonderful view. Our room was clean. The space was spacious for three people (2 adults, 1 child). We enjoyed food at the restaurant. Breakfast was delicious. Our only complaint (this is just a baby complaint) was the the internet was pretty slow. So having to work while on vacation was difficult. Hopefully you won't have to work while staying there.

Perfect to relax after visiting ancient Olympia!

Lovely hotel.

Modern, clean, friendly

It was wirh a beautiful view and really close to the archeological site
