Just perfect, beauty of the place, the welcome, the dishes, magnificent!

We picked this hotel to get away from the predictable hotels that travel agents tend to give near ports whilst island hopping. What a fantastic find. It is a commute from the port, roughly 25 minutes. We did intend to hire a car when we got here, but to be honest the beach and the pool and the food at the hotel convinced us not to. The rooms are spotlessly clean, with good facilities such as robes, slippers, if you need them. The towels are changed every other day, contributing to the hotels sustainability ethics. The rooms are cleaned daily. There is a large patio and veranda. The infinity pool is enormous for a hotel consisting of 14 rooms, again spotless with a very attentive bartender. The breakfasts you pick the night before and is served on your arrival getting away from all the waste and pickings over a buffet. The menu is more than plentiful with large servings. The waiters and particularly the 2 lovely waitresses, who served breakfast and lunch were lovely. The waitress who helped serve us over the past few days her voice almost sing with happiness and kindness. The food in the evening and lunch is off a high standard though we always reverted to the delicious watermelon salad and baked cheese for lunch. The beach opposite the hotel is just beautiful and on most occasions hosts to at most a handful of people, something you would never expect to find in a busy Greek island. There are multiple beaches around, all of equal beauty just use to point out some are nudist, but it isn’t a problem as most are very discreet. In summary this is a lovely place to stay and we will be sad to leave, but do so feeling chilled, filled with good food and happy. Would we stay here again, absolutely.

This wonderful little hotel is about 25 minutes by car from Chora. It’s quiet, charming, and comfortable, and the family who own and manage it are friendly and helpful. It is just across the street from a cedar preserve and the sea - there is a lovely trail through the preserve that runs along the coastline, and the beach is less than a 5 minute walk away. Staying here, you are 30 minutes away from lots of great things to do and see - though you will need a car to get to them. The restaurant is very good also! Highly recommended!
