Amazing boutique hotel in fabulous location

Fabulous location - short walk to all the sites and in centre of the old town restaurants and shops. The view of the Acropolis from the restaurant for breakfast or dinner was stunning and all the staff were excellent. Had the tasting menu one evening - amazing presentation and flavours. Breakfast was ordered from a wide selection of dishes all freshly prepared and served to the table rather than buffet style. Delicious.
