The waters is world class. One of the most beautiful places we have ever been to. On a Long Beach with awesome views. The service was amazing. Rob and his family were very helpful and provided everything to complement the stay. Room was beautiful and comfortable. We hated to leave

All good

The breakfast was a lovely well prepared and appetizing combination of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, toast, and beverages. there’s an amazing view of the ocean from the room that is constantly changing with the weather and transitive the sun. The host were friendly, efficient and inconspicuous.

There was nothing we didn’t like

Due to a confusion over our booking we were moved to a substantial and beautifully equipped apartment with the most wonderful views towards the sea and over the olive grove. Owners went out of their way to overcome the booking problem. They have two delightful children.

Nothing.
