The earlier thread about where we are staying (Romanza) was starting to get a little off-track (!) so thought it might be better to start a fresh one with my queries.

1. How long does it take to get to the beach and the town? (we're fit and relatively young so not afraid of the hills!)
2. Where is the closest place to buy bottled water? (we're getting in really late so a bit worried as to whether anywhere will be open. Not sure how expensive it will be at the Romanza bar)
3. How long does it take to walk to the brewery? (I will be bringing my rucksack to bring a few bottles back)
4. What beers does the Romanza do and what are the beer and food prices like at the hotel?
5. How much does the aircon cost?

It's a last minute holiday so want to do a bit of homework so we can chill as quickly as possible once we get there  :)

--- End quote ---

Air con is 5 euros a day.

Beer on draught is Mythos and Ionian Gold (from Arillas brewery), this is better, I think than the Mythos as it is far less gassy.  The draught beer is 3 euros a pint.  The Arillas brewery is open for tours on Thursdays and Saturdays between 11.00 and 1.00pm with a barrel of free beer outside. Buying the bottled beer is cheap, 1.60 euros for a large bottle.

6 large bottles of water from San Stefanos supermarket (next to ice cream shop) is 1.6 euros and they will deliver to the Romanza.

Hope this helps

Hi there we stayed at the romanza for a week a couple of years ago. The hill back to the romanza from the beach or the village will generate some sweat and is interestingly challenging after an evening meal + your liquid poison of choice (I favour a few glasses of retsina, a couple of glasses of mythos and an ouzo to finish off) we purchased our water in 5 litre bottles in the supermarket and lugged them back but the romanza is in no way expensive. Very friendly and we had a couple of late night drinking sessions with a few of our fellow travellers. Dont think you'll be disappointed.

Kernowfox:
Just remembered -take a small torch to make your late night journey up the bendy hill a little easier

BAJ:
Think most of your questions have been answered now.
Rest assured you have made a great choice, the food at Romanza restaurant takes some beating and is competitively priced with the rest of the village.
You will be able to get water from the bar at the Romanza when you arrive.
We tend to then do a bulk buy of water, pop, beer etc for the room from the small supermarket that Waspman mentioned. Purely because they deliver and lugging it up the hill will guarantee a sweat on!
If we are going to the village we use the road and if going to the beach the steeper but shorter path which runs from the hotel directly onto the quiter end of the beach.
When do you arrive there?
