Blue Oyster - a hidden gem
Judith is a great host and is ably assisted by Toumbe. Nothing was too much trouble for them, reservations for dinner, information on what to do and where to visit. The house is enormous - we stayed in the Mykonos room which has amazing views over the lagoon and the area is 100% safe. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again

Excellent spot for a holiday
The stay at Blue Oyster was amazing. The hostess, Judith, made contact immediately after I had made the booking. The check-in and check out was without hassles.

Great Property with Stunning Views
Very much enjoyed our stay at Blue Oyster. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The room was very clean and comfortable with a very spacious bathroom. And the view was magnificent! Also enjoyed the breakfast and informative conversation with the owner and staff. Highly recommended!
