This beautiful small hotel has incredibly elevated itself from our previous visit - when it was already excellent. Stunning, peaceful and tranquil location with all of its 22 rooms - also bar and restaurant too - overlooking the ocean (and the island of Ithaca) which is just a few metres from its pedestrian entrance. Immaculately maintained and spotlessly clean throughout with all necessary facilities you would expect. Family owned, who and like all staff, are informal yet professional and eager to please to ensure your stay is enjoyed to the full. Delightful breakfast - choices of pastries, yogurt and fruit etc also cooked - which is served - not a buffet. Free on-site parking. Swimming in the sea is just a few metres away in a choice of pebbly coves and it has 2 swimming pools with a large uncrowded patio adorned with plenty of sun beds and umbrellas etc. 150 metres (mainly flat) walk to the delightful, small harbour town of Agia Effimia with a multitude of restaurants (its own is superb!), shops, coffee bars and a bus stop. Great location to explore the whole island and less than an hours drive from the main airport. In our view - this is a very special hotel (and area) and is not surprising to learn that many guests return here year after year!
