A spectacular stay! We’ve spent a week and it was one of the best holidays we’ve had in a very long time! Staff: an absolute delight to interact with and extremely thoughtful and kind; the team go out of their way to help providing one of the best services we’ve ever had. Food: breakfast, lunch, and dinner; simply wow. The chef is so talented and the flavours are so well balanced, we rediscovered the greek cuisine during our stay! Villa: we had a room with a private infinity pool and massage room; it was clean, well equipped with scenic views of the coast.

Generally a great place to stay
Staff and service were excellent, really child friendly. Terrace was big, pool was deep. Kids club was great, they never wanted to leave. My only negative comments would be our villa was dated and was certainly due new bathrooms as they were looking very tired.

The property is very secluded and beautifully set on the edge of the hill overlooking the sea. The perfect place to unwind. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lovely foliage. All staff were amazing and it was lovely to meet the owners in person.

The service was exceptional. The staff & in particular the manager couldn’t do enough for us. It a very quiet resort. The beach club is 10 minutes away but they do provide free shuttle service. The only criticism is a lack of atmosphere. Music would add to the ambience at the beach club but this is a minor issue compared to all the positives in particular the service.
