Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is located in a quiet corner of the square, just a couple of minutes' walk from the harbor where you can catch a ferry to the various beaches. The rooms are flooded with natural light through large windows, and mine even had a lovely little patio. The service was top-notch, with warm and friendly staff going above and beyond. Dining in the garden surrounded by homemade products and listening to classical music was an absolute treat. However, the only downside was the lack of facilities like a pool or fitness center.
The hotel is a peaceful haven on a beautiful island, with plenty of natural light flooding the rooms, a little patio to enjoy, and warm and friendly service. However, the dining experience falls short with a limited menu, and there are minor issues with the facilities not meeting all expectations.
