Summary of reviews
Wonderful traditional place with spacious apartment overlooking the sea, clean rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and big balcony.
4.0
Beautiful, typically Greek mansion house with fabulous view.
If you love old Greece, you'll love this! A wonderful spacious apartment on the top floor overlooking the sea. Go down the steps, across the road, and you are on the beach. Some rooms with TV and air conditioning. A bathroom/toilet with shower over bath and another with toilet and washbasin. The kitchen is quite well equipped. Very clean and tidy. Big balcony across the whole front of the building with shades.
This is not modern luxury but a wonderful, traditional place to stay, with a very warm welcome.
