A beautiful spot in a lovely village. We only wish we had stayed longer. Beds and rooms are spacious well lit and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful with delicious fresh food with coffee and fresh orange juice. It’s the same every day so if you like variety best be prepared to cook in your room or walk. Easy but somewhat hilly walk to the main square, full of vibrant tavernas with good food. Excellent friendly service from the staff.

Hôtel très agréable. Studio très bien équipé.
Belle petite piscine.
Nous avions une chambre en haut avec un escalier assez raide. Il y a d'autres studios sans cet inconvénient.
Bien situé sur les hauteurs de Archanes avec accès à pied au centre.
Ruelles étroites pour arriver en passant par le village, préférez un contournement pour arriver à l'hôtel

Quiet place in interesting city
Nice town, nice host. Heat worked well in winter. Be careful driving in however, since many of the streets are narrow. Fun city overall, and I recommend this place.

Perfect.
Fabulous! Excellent host. He upgraded us because we were traveling in the low season and nobody was staying in that apartment. Sparking clean and he gave an excellent dinner recommendation to Kritamon. Would stay again.

Vecchia struttura di case con corte ben ristrutturata, con piscina, in delizioso borgo di collina, con personale molto gentile. Ottime indicazioni per arrivarvi, dato che si trova in posizione appartata
