Featuring a terrace, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and room service. Our stay was amazing. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, despite the fact that I made a mistake in booking - he was very helpful and flexible and arranged for us 1 day earlier check-in. Staff was friendly, smiling, and providing high quality of service. When I was stung by sea urchin immediate action was taken to help me, and the next day, I was cured. Breakfast was very tasty, with fresh fruits provided to each guest and restaurant offered amazing local food. The room was clean and well equipped, e.g., coffee machine, fridge, safe, etc. Highly recommended!

Max, the owner, is incredibly friendly and helpful, which really enhanced my experience. The rest of the staff were equally welcoming and made me feel right at home. I loved every moment of my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!
