"The best part of the hotel is the private pool. It’s a small oasis, surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. You can truly feel the calmness and positive energy of the place. The design is extraordinary — everything inside the house is beautifully thought out and well designed. We even had an outdoor bathroom, which was a wonderful touch. Fay welcomed us warmly — she is incredibly kind and always ready to help with anything. She was always available whenever we needed tips or assistance. The cleaning lady, Ioanna, was also perfect — very kind and attentive, making sure everything was always in perfect order."

"The property was a basic hotel with a nice view. Unfortunately, power was lost during our stay. The parking lot is 5 parking spaces, and larger cars extend into the street making it unusable. In addition the bathrooms had a smell, even after being cleaned. Likely from the drain in the floor. Very small shower and small room. "

"We had a great stay. Hotel was sparkling clean. Lovely pool and simple but very good breakfast with freshest vegetables and feta every day. Coffee machine worked well and the options for coffee were fantastic. Plenty of parking near hotel, and a nice village and great beach in walking distance were of course what we came for. I wish we stayed even longer. "
