Racconto Boutique Design Hotel
Adults-only boutique (16+) Peaceful hillside setting surrounded by forest Elegant, intimate property with just 11 rooms Tailor-made for couples and relaxed escapes Bright, modern design from pool to guestrooms Free Wi-Fi throughout
Overview
Tucked into a green hillside above Parga Town, Racconto Boutique Design Hotel is a small, adults-only retreat where minimalist design, calm pool days and long, lazy breakfasts set the tone. With just 11 rooms, it feels more like a private villa than a hotel, yet you’re still within walking distance of Parga’s harbourfront tavernas and shingle beaches.

Map & location
Parga Town, Parga, Greece
Racconto Boutique Design Hotel sits on a tranquil hillside just outside Parga Town, wrapped in lush green forest. You’re far enough from the centre to feel removed from the buzz, yet close enough to wander down in the evening for sunset drinks and seafront dinners along the harbour.
The walk into town and to the beach is downhill and scenic – think colourful hillside houses and glimpses of the Ionian Sea. Taxis back up the hill are easy to arrange if you prefer not to walk in the heat.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s focal point is its outdoor freshwater pool, framed by cushioned sunbeds and parasols in calming whites and greys. It’s perfectly sized for a boutique property – big enough for a refreshing swim, but intimate enough to stay quiet and relaxed even in high season. Pool towels are available free of charge.
You’re just over a kilometre from the beach, where shingle shores meet clear Ionian waters. Many guests split their time between beach days down in Parga and lazy afternoons by the hotel pool with a book and a drink from the bar.

• Aerobics and aqua aerobics*

Back at the hotel, a 16-hour reception offers concierge-style support and luggage storage, with staff happy to arrange taxis, local recommendations or boat trips along the coast.

Food & drink
Days at Racconto Boutique Design Hotel tend to revolve around the pool, and so does the food. The stylish pool restaurant serves international cuisine for lunch, dinner and snacks, with some show-cooking in the evenings for a bit of theatre. Expect fresh salads, grilled meats and Mediterranean flavours alongside more global favourites.
The pool bar runs from midday until late (approx. 12:00–00:00), with a range of local, international and premium drinks available to buy – ideal for a glass of Greek wine at sunset or a slow coffee after breakfast. A smart dress code may apply in the restaurant, and opening times or supplements can vary by season and board basis, so always double‑check locally. What All Inclusive typically includes.
