“Helpful owner”
The hotel is very close to the beach, the owner who lives with her family is very kind and regularly offers coffee, she lent me a diving mask during my stay Despite this I had a big problem and the very kind owner was very accommodating and helped me a lot to find a solution, despite the loss of a loved one she knew how to remain professional and take care of her customers, I thank her very much

“I was along and I was absolutely happy with this room and hospitality.”
It was good place in very quote and good location. Just 3 minutes from the nearest beach by walk. I have been met by owner of this property. Invited to coffee and conversation. Room was small with aircon and TV. Cleaning has been done on daily basis. WiFi was good enough.

The location is amazing, close to the beach and in a very calm town. The two managers were exceptionally nice and helpful. Extremely good services for the price.

The place and especially the owners are amazing and really, really nice and kind. We have been there for a couple of nights, and we felt like home. The studio is big and has everything you need in order to cook and enjoy the meals with a sea view. We had dinner with the family, had really good chats and learned a lot about the island and its culture. We left with a feeling to have met somebody special!

“Not just an accomodation...”
Just everything! Maria and Tarsia are really special, we've spent so much great time together. They've given us probably the nicest room, I'm quite sure bigger than we've booked. We've had a balcony all around (so we could always find a table with a shadow), with a sea and sunset view, and with many little birds nests under the roof (they make some dirt, but it is promptly cleaned, so no problem, and it was really really nice to watch them feed their offsprings in the nest practically the whole day long...). Both sisters just try to make their guests as happy as possible, and to enjoy all the time. They are so warm and positive, and provide good vibes and good energy all the time. They simply treat their guests as their family, in short. This hotel may not be for someone who looks for a luxury, but if you'd like to feel as it is your home, and stay in a place with heart and soul, it is definitely that!

I enjoyed so much staying in this family pension. The location is great. From the second floor you have a partial sea view. Air condition works perfectly and is not noisy. You have an open gallery balcony on the entrance side. And your own private balcony by the bedroom. It's a real one bedroom. More than a studio It's very clean and quiet. You'll find a local supermarket. And of course many good restaurants and bars. The beds and cushions are brand new. But Especially Maria treated me as a family member. I enjoyed so much having a coffee and conversation with her. She is very helpful and Kind heart ❤️ I'm not surprised her guests come back again and again. As I will certainly. Merci beaucoup Maria
