This is an absolutely stunning property. The best part about this place is the staff who made us feel comfortable and ensure we had a great stay. This is a perfect example of efficient and courteous service without being overbearing. The room was very comfortable and had great views. We ate multiple meals at the restaurant and we're very pleased with it. They are very accommodative of dietary preferences such as vegetarians, vegans, etc. The spa is great as well. We wish we had a longer stay. Must visit if you are in the area.

Very nice house, friendly and helpful staff. Being able to go to the spa with kids is great during winter. However, kitchenware was incomplete. Missing bowls abd chopping boards (just one plastic old one) and the pans were all scrated (scratched pans are toxic). Bikes are available for guests but they are old and rusty. They should be fixed and maintained.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
