Am Besten gefallen haben uns die netten Gespräche mit den Betreibern Marilena und Jiannis. Die beiden sind super herzliche Menschen und standen immer und zu allem als Ansprechpartner zur Verfügung und auch gerne einfach so zum gemütlichen Zusammensitzen am Abend. Das Frühstück war jeden Tag top und wurde von Jiannis persönlich serviert, mit der Möglichkeit Wünsche zu äußern. Die Zimmer waren immer sehr sauber, wurden jeden Tag gereinigt, es gab jeden zweiten Tag frische Handtücher und jeden 4. Tag frische Bettwäsche.
