The courtyard is amazing, and the views looking across Agia Effimia harbour are absolutely incredible. ​Stavros was an exceptional, genuinely helpful host who went above and beyond at all times to ensure we had the best holiday. Location-wise, it’s ideal—we easily drove to Assos and Fiskardo in around 40 minutes. The drive from the airport is straightforward, but a hire car is essential for exploring.

It was extremely quiet and clean, the AC unit worked really well, and was also very quiet, which is unusual and a big bonus. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help us where we needed advice. If we ever go back to the area (and I'm fairly certain we will), I would definitely stay there again."
