I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful views and the cleanliness of the rooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, especially Despina who made our breakfasts delightful. However, the dining experience fell short with limited breakfast options. Overall, the location right by the port was fantastic, making everything easily accessible.

I had a delightful stay at this boutique hotel, which is truly a hidden gem. The location is fantastic, right on the port, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are well designed and comfortable, though the lack of a full shower was a bit of a letdown. The service was generally friendly and helpful, but the dining experience left something to be desired, particularly the breakfast.
