Ver clean, lovely host, wonderful views, closer to Kouremenos Bch than Palaicastro was, in the middle of everything we wanted to see and do. Breakfast was good; wifi was having issues while we were there, but a bit of tolerance for the roads and the wifi of eastern Crete is a must.

Freundlich, familiär, sehr angenehmes Ambiente. Zimmer sind sauber und funktional eingerichtet. Für eine 5 köpfige Familie fehlt etwas der Stauraum (nur 1 Schrank im Familienzimmer) und die Dusche ist sehr klein.
Als Paar würden wir sehr gerne wieder kommen. Die à la carte Speisen sind von sehr guter Qualität und schön zubereitet.

Es war eine sehr schöne Erfahrung! Besonders beeindruckt hat uns der Ausblick, das Schwimmbad und das Frühstück – alles war wirklich hervorragend. Auch das am Samstagabend gebuchte Barbecue war sehr gut, und bei dieser Aussicht einfach wunderbar! Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt rundum genossen.

Bonne situation géographique mais logement simple

Emplacement géographique très bon, magnifique vue sur la baie, village parfaitement entretenu avec de beaux extérieurs.
L’accès aux logements est difficile en voiture avec une pente très raide. Pour se rendre aux repas près de la réception tout en bas de la structure , le cheminement à pied est fatigant sous le soleil et impossible pour des personnes marchant difficilement ; nous nous y sommes rendus en voiture .
Bon petit déjeuner avec des préparations maison .
Chambre de bonne taille avec mini patio mais salle d’eau vétuste avec petit receveur et rideau. Un petit frigo et quelques couverts à disposition.
Les 3 étoiles ne paraissent pas justifiées.
Personnel très aimable.

Ça aurait pu être bien...

La direction est à l'écoute et agréable, en revanche je déconseille la location de la chambre que j'avais soit celle avec terrasse et vue mer pour 4 personnes. En effet, la cheminée de l'extracteur de la cuisine se trouve juste au dessus de la chambre et de sa terrasse, elle fait un bruit épouvantable, sieste à proscrire. Ils m'ont dit qu'elle aurait du être réparée mais...D'autre part, la chambre se trouve juste au dessus de celle du restaurant et de la piscine, vous êtes donc visibles de tous et toute la journée quand vous voulez en profiter, intimité très réduite d'autant plus que le garde-corps, certes très joli, est ajouré et vous arrive aux genoux. C'est bien dommage car la vue est en revanche splendide.
J'ai donc écourté mon séjour, aucun remboursement possible, une chambre proposée en remplacement mais pas du même standing et franchement déprimante.
Je n'y ai pas diné mais le petit déjeuner est très agréable même si il est compliqué de le prendre en terrasse car aucune table n'est pourvue d'un parasol.

L'appartamento è ampio e con una vista sulla valle e sul mare. Andrebbe migliorato l'arredo. Mancano stoviglie nella zona cucina e almeno un armadio e un tavolo nel soggiorno. Colazione dell'hotel scarsa e con prodotti non freschi e non greci.

SPLENDIDI PANORAMI

Buona posizione a metà strada tra Sitia e le spiaggia dell'est. Struttura abbastanza nuova con panorama spettacolare sia sulla baia che sulle colline di ulivi tutt'intorno. Zona piscina, solarium e ristorante molto bella e ben curata. Non si può dire lo stesso della stanza, piuttosto spartana nell'arredamento, nel nostro caso avevamo prenotato uno studios e ci hanno dato una camera, abbastanza grande, ma mal disposta, con letto difficilmente accessibile e mancava una tenda normale (c'era solo l'oscurante, quindi o stavi al buio, o ...in vetrina). Bagno con porta che non si apriva totalmente (bastava mettere il wc pochi cm. più in là) e doccia piccola con tenda. Il set cortesia indicato...erano due misere saponette.
Gentile il personale e buona la colazione, in modalità covid.
Nel complesso quindi, bellissima location che potrebbe essere migliorata in molti dettagli anche per raggiungere parità nel rapporto qualità/prezzo.
