A most amasing experience
When one arrives at Imaret he/she should not look for a grand entrance; in fact one really needs to pay attention to the "Reception" sign and notice the door bell that upon ringing grants you entrance to the inner world of Imaret.
Then you are shown to the first inner court where serenity governs the senses, the sound of swallows combined with the sound of running water and the view of the pool surrounded by citrus trees soothes your eye sight. And then there is the light and the warmth the envelops you telling you to let go of all the anxieties you brought with you through the entrance. All of a sudden you realise you are somewhere special.
The building has a long and turbulent history. So make sure you book the free tour; Our guide, Ismene, was simply excellent.
Then there is the room. The moment you enter you are greeted with classical music, candle lights and the smell of herbs. Everything is tasteful and observes the nature of the building as an old Islamic educational centre.
The building is full of hidden court yards, each one with its own character and yet all conspiring to please the eyes and the calm the soul. Take your time to discover but also to enjoy all areas.
It would be a terrible omission if I did not mention the hotel staff. Pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable, offering a world class service and making the guest feel at home; as a member of the Imaret family.
