Beautiful place, lovely welcoming owner and staff. Great pool, bar, restaurant area. Wonderful food. Only downside was the trek up the hill to our room as we were at the very top. Beautiful room but not used much. But then you don’t go on holiday to sit in the room! We will hopefully be back ❤️

Beautiful new modern hotel. Suite room was 2 floors with private pool. Only downside was that specific room didn’t have a nice view. Staff was great. Overall amazing hotel steps away from the beach, Agia Pelagia. Nice small beach. Also walking distance to souvenir shops and tavernas. Hotel rooftop restaurant was amazing! Great food, wonderful friendly staff. 10/10
