I don’t even know where to begin with this review. I have put off writing it because it was so hard to describe how great this hotel is. First, Georgia and her front desk staff are by far the nicest, most helpful people. We stayed here for a week and by the end of the stay we felt like family. Every person on staff, from front desk, to Dimitrios at the bar, to the cleaning staff was so incredibly kind. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. For instance, the shower didn’t have a place to hold my toiletry bottles so I Moved the luggage rack in the shower. Not a great move but I needed something to also prop my leg for shaving. That afternoon someone had brought me a little plastic bench to hold my things. They noticed I had a need and filled it without my asking. They gave the best restaurant recommendations, made reservations and always got a car service for us. We felt so lucky to have them all. Secondly the hotel is beautiful. It’s so clean, and peaceful. Truly a gem. We highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!
