Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite dark and cheaply furnished, not properly made up during our stay. However, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location offered amazing views and a serene environment. The dining options were limited but enjoyable for a short stay.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, individually furnished in a converted farmhouse, were spacious and comfortable, but lacked proper maintenance and cleanliness. The service provided by the friendly staff was excellent, offering valuable touring advice and enjoyable dinners. The location on a hill overlooking olive groves and orange orchards was breathtaking, but some aspects of the dining experience were limited. The facilities, including a pool and lovely outdoor spaces, were well-kept.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay surrounded by beauty and tranquility, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location is simply lovely, set in an olive grove with amazing views. The dining experience features mostly homemade items but could be improved in some aspects.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious with a rustic touch and very comfortable, furnished in a traditional Greek style. The friendly staff made my experience even more delightful. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The location offered stunning views and was simply lovely, a real asset for the hotel.
