Our stay at the hotel was wonderful. The breakfast was tasty, but lack variety, if you stay longer time. Room was comfortable with big bed (in our case it was too hard), clean, nice interior, soft bedding and white towels every day. Guarded beautiful beach area with big sunbeds. A wonderful beach with small islands in the ocean that you can walk to at high tide.

An amazing place – intimate, full of charm and character. Perfect if you’re looking for something authentic rather than a big resort for mass tourism. The staff is very welcoming, warm and always ready to help you. We highly recommend.

Looking for a five-star hotel?
