Reviews
A little tight with space but you will be fine.
The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Shower was super! Immediate hot water and strong flow. Wifi is excellent. The breakfast was above and beyond. Home cooked, nice and fresh and so much variety. The owners, Viti and his lovely wife are born hosts, making us feel at home all the time.
And then, the surprise. Just because we didn't pay attention to it when we booked. There is an awesome golf course! You can rent all equipment and it is a nice challenge.
Time for me to stop writing and enjoy it one more day!
