“Amazing”
We absolutely loved our stay. The rooms were amazing and so clean and spacious. It was a family run business and the service was exceptional. The accomodation had everything we needed and more. We have visited Lesvos many times and wished we had found this accomodation sooner because we would have stayed here every time. We wished we could have stayed here the whole time we were in Petra but it was booked out. The owners even allowed me to come back and use their gym after we had left for the remaining days we had left in Petra. We will be booking here again along with our family.

“Everything was great”
Location of the hotel is great, very close to both Petra city center and Anaxos beaches. Also you can reach Molivos with a 15 min drive. Rooms are very clean, and the gifts (wine and uzo) are welcoming you when you enter the room. Pool is very good for children, clean and hygenic. Hotel owners, Madame Toula is a fantastic host. She is so nice and sweet, always smiling. Breakfast is simple, lean and very delicious, especially homemade jams, feta cheese and olives, as well as the cakes. I definitely recommend this family hotel and will stay here again when i come to Lesvos.

+The hotel is close to both Anaxos and Petra beaches +Although it is close to Petra it is in a quiet spot so you don’t have to deal with crowds and noise +We really enjoyed the pool and the hot tub +Breakfast was extra but worth the money +The rooms were kept clean +Complimentary fruits (I suppose the peaches are from the garden) and drinks they left for us in the room upon arrival was a nice touch +The staff was helpful

“The best hotel in Petra”
We stayed 5 nights and it was wonderful. The room was very clean. Our baby crawled comfortably around. The kitchen was well-equipped and delicious ouzo, rose wine and also fresh fruits were waiting for us when we had entered into the room. Toula is the best hotel owner we have ever met. She was so lovely and helpful, she upgraded our room with no charge. The hotel staff also friendly and helpful. Location was perfect, beautiful Anaxos and Avlaki beaches were also very close. 10 min walks away from Petra center. That was so lovely to see and hear the goats in the morning right in front of the our balcony. We always remember our stay in the Defkalion, hope to see you again.

“If you are into the details, this hotel is for you.”
First of all the hotel facilities were all new and very clean. The hotel was close to Petra city even if you could walk. Madam Toula was an exceptionally kind and customer-oriented person. We all felt like home. Her focus on details and approach to the guests was perfect.

“Superb family run hotel.”
I really enjoyed my few days staying in this excellent hotel. Toula and her family couldn’t have been kinder and offer many personal touches to enhance the stay. The bedroom is spacious, very clean with an incredibly comfortable large bed. I enjoyed my walks into Petra, especially in the early evening with the wonderful Greek light. I will definitely return and cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Thank you.

“friendly and welcoming staff, very clean and confortable hotel”
The staff at the hotel is very friendly, the hotel was very clean. We stayed in room a6. Although we stayed with our baby, we felt very comfortable. It is a great advantage to have a parking area for children and close to beautiful beaches.
