Lovely owners, and a very clean apartment with a comfortable bed. Room had free water in the fridge, and Raki. The apartment complex is right on the beach, and I felt very safe walking back at night (I travelled alone). A great place to stay for a relaxing beach break!

From the second we arrived, the owners were so lovely and friendly. We were shown to our room where there was a carraffe of raki, a bottle of wine and a bottle of water waiting for us. Not only that but soap, shower gel and shampoo, perfect for if you've not packed any. To top it off there were also slippers! We went for a room with a sea view which was lovely. There were sun beds on the beach provided by the owners which was literally meters from the studios. We would certainly stay here again.

Fantastic property and the loveliest hosts! So nice to have wonderful local people look after you as they told us the best restaurants and cheapest buses etc. Also the property could not be more perfect, a pool right next door and the beach a literal stone throw away!! So so clean and everything you could want in it, would definitely recommend and we will definitely return!

Skønt hotel med de sødeste ejere. Vi skulle skifte værelse midt på ugen (fordi vi blev tilbudt en opgradering til havudsigt de første tre dage, hvilket vi sagde ja til) - det var lidt svært at få at vide præcis hvornår vi skulle skifte værelse, men det var fuldstændig problemfrit når det kom til stykket. Alt i alt et vildt hyggeligt lille hotel helt ned til stranden med søde ejere. Jeg vil roligt anbefale dette sted og kunne også selv finde på at besøge det igen.

Lite koselig overnattingssted med flott utsikt utover strand/havet. Vertskapet var meget hyggelige. Når vi ankom sto det både vin og raki som velkomstgave. 2 kvelden kom hotelleieren inn på rommet med nystekt lunsj til oss. Reiser gjerne tilbake, og anbefaler dette overnattingsstedet.

Lite men koselig hotell sentralt på stranden, eierne var meget service vennlige og hyggelige, rommet var forholdsmessig lite, men koselig og hadde det du trengte, meget godt renhold og service. Koselig resturant (Sonio) vegg i vegg med meget god mat til hyggelige priser og med super service. Kommer gjerne tilbake seinere på samme hotell.
