Great value

Amazing value. We hiked a gorge during the day and ended up down south so looked for a room in the area and found this with good reviews. Driving to it I had second thoughts. It was a bit further away than I thought and there was not much nice once we got off the main north/south road. As we turned into the facility my mood brightened. Very nice property, beach front room, welcome gift of home grown olive oil all for very cheap. We liked it so much we stayed a second night. The room is a little tired. The shower doors didn't work well and left water pooled on the floor, but who cares? Good restaurants abound with local flair. This is off the beaten path and a great find

Die Unterkunft war schön und sauber ,aber die Küchenausstattung sehr mäßig. Ebenso für uns ,als Nichtautofahrer ein großes Manko, dass jeder sein Auto vor seinem Appartment parken konnte. Der Blick von unserer Terrasse, war der auf einen Parkplatz . Dabei hätte es im vorderen Teil der Anlage genug Platz für parkende Autos gegeben. Sehr schade !

Fantastic apartment, beach and taverna

Me and my boyfriend have stayed at this property for 4 nights, at the superior apartment on the ground floor. The standart of the place was very good and comfortable. The balcony, even though on the ground floor had a nice sea and olive garden view. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. I was to mention The Fata Morgana taverna with a fantastic view and FANTASTIC foood and a very friendly service. The beach is only 2 min away, and it's a pure wild beauty. We would definately come back to this area and to this property.

The Sound of Summer

Gute Unterkunft an Südküste. Gute Taverne direkt an der Anlage. Liegt mitten in einem ehemaligen Olivenhain. Das Geräusch von Millionen Zikaden wird hier liebevoll als "Sound of Summer" bezeichnet, der mit Sonnenuntergang langsam verstummt. Der Sandstrand unterhalb ist gut und zumindest im Juni nicht überlaufen.

Meget charmerende lejligheder med en fantastisk beliggenhed. Meget rolige omgivelser lige ved havet og kort afstand til flere strande. Forvent ikke en by med stort udvalgt af butikker og restauranter. Stadig er der dog små supermarkedet og flere (gode) restauranter.
