Fab location halfway up the hill, so not too far from the beach and close to restaurants and cafes. Friendly staff with good food and drink options too.

The hotel had a very comfortable feel about it, although an older property in need of some updating (which we were told would be happening ready for next year) the general ambience of the hotel was simply lovely. You could have a mountain (morning sun) or sea (afternoon sun) view and the pool and bar was beautiful after a day on the beach! Thank you for a great 10 days at your hotel, we loved every minute of our stay. The hotel's facilities and ambience were just what we wanted and we could not have asked for more friendly and attentive hotel staff from the housekeepers to the hotel manager, and these coupled with the lovely village of Lourdata and it's beach made for a wonderful holiday...the best we have had in many years. We will definitely be back again

Lourdas is a lovely quiet little place and has a wonderful atmosphere. The hotel sits conveniently close to the beach,tavernas and mini markets. It's served by a local bus but very infrequently. I did a couple of the tours to see the island which were very good

Hotel was in a convenient location. Excellent beach in walking distance, with plenty of good facilities. All generations of the staff in this family run hotel were extremely helpful, courteous and friendly. The breakfast was plentiful, with good choices. Room were spotlessly clean, with regular linen changes and efficient air conditioning. The pool and poolside facilities were good.

What a gem in a fantastic location!
The surroundings of the hotel are beautiful and & everything from the cute pool,flowers,trees,eating area,comfy lobby to wonderful staff-all complete a perfect picture and make you feel welcome! Breakfast had a decent selection of typical items, absolutely satisfying and the best part was having it outside, by the poolside surrounded by lush vegetation. We also loved spending our late evenings outside,playing cards,having a few drinks,chatting with guests and staff, listening to music. Drinks from the hotel bar are not expensive & bar even has a “happy hour”! Everybody was describing dreadful steep walk down to the beach and back to the hotel. I was mentally preparing myself for an ironman-like challenge.. It was fine and not that dramatic as I read in reviews: quite pleasant way down and a bit more sweaty walk up! :) Our family of 3 got the quadruple occupancy suite with 2nd bedroom so we had plenty of room..and since we were on the 3rd floor–we got an amazing sea view! The room was very simple,with typical in Greece simple beds (and not so comfortable mattress/pillows combo :)) and nothing fancy but it was very spacious and clean, with lots of closet space and even kitchenette. The best location after comparing others. Definitely great value for your money! Undeniably caring staff! 100% fantastic stay and time! I would without any hesitation stay in Hotel Lara again and again! Thank you, Lara family!

Lara Hotel, Lourdata
This hotel was adequate but at the top of a steep hill so be prepared for a climb back from the beach (going down is easy). The facilities were very clean but the room very disappointing. The beds are so hard we struggled to get a comfortable nights sleep. The shower provides little room for movement and the fixtures are obstacles. The balcony is very limited for space and chairs needed to be removed to enable opening of the shutters. The room however was well maintained, the domestic and bar staff extremely friendly and helpful. We found that the owner didn't engage very much with guests, but the atmosphere overall was pleasant. We would recommend that you hire a car for this location. There are some excellent tavernas in the area, but it's good to explore the vibrant Katelios, Karminia is the sandy beach just before Skala , the small port of Poros and a drive over the mountains takes you to the very beautiful Assos and then over to Sami.

Response from Lara Hotel Manager on 12 Jul,2017
Dear Madam/Sir Thank you for your comments about our Hotel Lara. It is a pity you could not sleep because of our beds' mattresses. For your information, these matresses are 4 years old and when I ordered them I asked to be orthopedic. For the guests who find the matresses uncomfortable, we have available 5 cm thick soft matresses and use them if and when requested. It is a pity you did not mention this to anyone - especially in the reception, so that your problem would have been solved. As for me, I am always around and interacting with the guests as much as my professional obligations allow. I am sorry if I had not the chance to meet you. Kind regards, The Manager

What a lovely hotel. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent food from lovely breakfast to great lunches and fresh, tasty dinners.. A lovely walk down to the beach, but hard work on the way back up to the hotel, though totally worth it when you jump straight in the pool.. Rooms are cleaned every day with fresh towels if needed.

Clean, welcoming, close to beach & tavernas.
Just what we wanted. A relaxing place, no shops or holiday paraphenalia but genuinely beautiful setting, with top notch tavernas close by and peace and tranquility to relax in. Buses running up and down the quite steep hill were a little unreliable but this did not stop us. If you are looking for rest and relaxation in a typically Greek setting with friendly locals and great food and drink this is the place.

Nice hotel, very good value for money.
Very good hotel for the price. Very clean. Air-con is charged extra which we found a bit strange but we didn't really need it so it was fine, plus the price we were paying per night with breakfast included was good so it kind of felt right to pay a bit extra for the air con. Breakfast was nice, good variety. Recommend it!

Perfect family holiday
Lourdata is a Beautiful small Village with a lovely white shingle beach, boasting some excellent restaurants. Lorraine's and Olive Lounge stood out, each with delicious locally sourced food, great service and idyllic locations. Lourdata is a great base for exploring the island, with easy access to other beaches such as Katelios and Scala, towns and villages of Argostolli, Sami and Fiskardo. The caves of Melissani and Drogarati are also worth a visit. The hotel is comfortable with helpful staff able to support with booking boat trips - Zante was a highlight -there is a fabulous Pola with cafe bar. This was a perfect relaxing and fun family holiday. We all fell in love with the island.

Great hotel near the beach with friendly staff
If you're looking for all the creature comforts then this isn't the hotel for you. The rooms are typically basic for Greece, but spotlessly clean. A decent size with balcony where you could see and hear the sea. Again, breakfast is very typical for a Greek hotel. Greek yoghurt and honey; boiled eggs; bread and jam and cheese and ham. Lovely coffee as well. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. They make you feel at home straight away.

Relaxed and friendly hotel
The rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable (with a small shower room, little TV, fridge and air conditioning). It's a short stroll to the beach, but is on a reasonably steep hill, so it might not be ideal for elderly people (especially in the heat). There is a pool and outside bar and seating area where it's easy to mingle and chat to fellow guests. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, which made for a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

Great value for money
I can't understand where some of the bad reviews about the staff have come from. The owner and all of the staff were very welcoming and very friendly. The hotel is basic, but people should realise that by the price that they pay. However, basic does not mean poor - in fact it's excellent value for money. The room I had was a reasonable size and was cleaned every day except Sunday. Towels and linen are of good quality. Only downside is that the shower is very small, but it does work very well. Breakfast was good and we also attended the weekly BBQ, although it's not actually a BBQ but a buffet - the food was excellent all the same. Recommend the Taverna directly opposite the hotel. I would stay here again if visiting Lourdata.

Hotel confortevole arredi datati ma molto pulito.
L'hotel è carino ,immerso nel verde degli olivi e cipressi, molto pulito anche se arredi sono datati. Il personale è cortese . È vero in camera c'è la tv, ma bisognerebbe dirlo che non ha neanche un canale italiano. La colazione è discreta, ma per il prezzo che abbiamo pagato per il soggiorno va bene. Si arriva in spiaggia in 5 minuti di discesa a piedi, la salita è un pochino più lunga. È importante sapere che se si è sprovvisti di scooter o auto si è praticamente bloccati a Lourdata, dove ci sono solo ristorantini e un supermarket. Il paesaggio è bellissimo . Tante spiagge meravigliose da vedere, ma è necessario sapere che l'isola è montuosa, quindi sono tutte salite, discese e tornanti. Ma vale la pena visitarla.

This is a very basic hotel. The room we stayed in was dark, hot and we could hear the neighbours exceptionally well. The bed was equipped with springs, so quite uncomfortable. The location is good, close to the beach, the staff was friendly, and the place was clean. Some easy points of improvement: the extra charge of 3€ per day for aircondition was weird to say the least. Also the breakfast was under par.
