“I had a really relaxing break and I slept incredibly well”
The bed was the most comfortable bed. I’ve slept in for a long long time.

“Value for money with a parking”
We liked everything about the apartment We had even more: a good equipped kitchen corner, a lot of stuff for making coffee, tea, some meals etc. It was very nice even though we stayed only 1 night Nice clean room, good terrace, the mattress is a bit hard, but it’s a usual thing for Greece The apartment has its own parking that is very helpful, just ask on reception for it and don’t be in a hurry to pay for parking nearby Location is just 2 min from the beach Highly recommended

“An enjoyable stay”
Good location, aircon was included and it was much appreciated. Room was spotless with comfy beds and a nice modern clean bathroom. We didn't use any facilities as we only stayed for one night. We would definitely recommend.

“Not a good stay”
The experience was terrible. The door to the room wouldn’t close properly – it only locked with two turns, with just one it could be opened from outside. The fridge was broken, the bathroom smelled like sewage, and the complimentary shower gels were clearly reused. There was a “private parking,” but access depended on the owner’s mood: he would come and go whenever he wanted, so you could easily end up locked in or out. And of course, no hairdryer in the room – you had to go ask at reception. Overall, a truly awful stay.

The proximity to the beaches,shops,and restaurants is excellent. The owners are super friendly and helpful, they really helped me when I was sick and needed a hospital, there was no urgency for me to check out early on the day I left.
