Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some nice features like a lovely location and beautiful surroundings. However, the room amenities were lacking, and the signage for hygiene tissue disposal needs improvement. The service was excellent, especially with helpful staff, and the dining had some nice options but could get a bit busy at times.
The hotel is located in a quiet area, perfect for those seeking peace, but it is a bit far from the village. The rooms were clean but average, lacking a shelf in the bathroom which was inconvenient for us with a toddler. The service was excellent, especially towards Giorgia. The dining options were nice, although a bit repetitive and possibly more geared towards German/Dutch cuisine. The location is ideal for a relaxing stay, being the last hotel on the street, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. The facilities were well-tended, including a car hire service, snack bar, and a children's play area.
The hotel rooms are spacious, cozy, tidy, and nicely decorated with a lovely balcony offering a pool view, providing a clean and comfortable stay in a great location near the relaxation pool. The service is friendly, attentive, and with a beautiful balcony view of the sea. The location is ideal for peace-seekers due to its quiet outskirts setting on the edge of Analipsi. The dining experience is nice, albeit possibly geared towards German/Dutch cuisine at times. The pool area is well-maintained and enjoyable, contributing to a pleasant stay.
