Our stay was exceptional! Our host Aggela was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and comfortable, with a huge terrace and a gorgeous view of the sea. We were also showered with extras, from welcome drinks, to free snacks in the room, to goodbye gifts! The breakfast buffet was also very rich and delicious, with lots of typical Greek foods. There also lots of friendly cats roaming around, always happy to receive a little snuggle.

    Nice place outside the village trouble, but in walking distance. ~5-10min to the village center / beach. Flexible check in! Very good communication. Small balcony with a table and two chairs to sit outside. Fridge and some dishes, but nothing to make your own breakfast/ meal. Room / bathroom were clean. Parking opportunities directly next to the house. Good place for 1-2 nights.
