Great place to stay a few days or even longer.
This is a charming small hotel which is actually a traditional village complex of houses. It's in a great location, away from the crowds but close to the sea and to the mountains. There is a huge jacuzzi in the bathroom, which was lovely, but the taps are placed too far to reach without stepping into the tub, which was bizarre. There is a sauna and a steam room but the sauna was not hot enough to sweat.

Ian

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Promised much, delivered little.
Room: Poor internet speed / non-existent at bed end. Saggy mattress with midway ridge. Dangerous electrical boxes/junction plates in bathroom Black mold on tile grout Only 1 key to room so no maid service whilst we were away Overall in need of refreshing. Jacuzzi bath unusable as insufficient supply of hot water. Dining: No choice of food. Once advised of dishes, one hour later main course was unavailable. Substitute was dry & inedible. No provision for lunch. Communication: Poor / late response to emails General lack of information Excuse given was “it’s Christmas”! Facilities Spa closed. Massage only available & only 1 person at a time Overall, unsatisfactory & poor value. >€130/night is excessive for the limited services offered. This is NOT a 4* hotel as advertised.

Such a cozy hotel! Bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was very luxurious. Breakfasts were appreciated every morning, and custom coffee too! The birds nearby woke up early, so we did too. Pretty much everything was perfect!

Beautiful hotel, extremely clean and unique. Top location. Free parking above the structure. Nice spa with free sauna and relaxing pool area. Unfortunately Jacuzzi was out of order and it was not announced and not fixed during our stay. Breakfast could be improved so that there's fresh orange juice, more fruits, fresh croissant (not only toast).

This is not a 5 star hotel in a million years! We stayed for two days and spent most of it out as we thought our room was stuffy and just boring. At check in we ask whether we could have a room with a balcony so we could sit and watch the village activities and the front desk said that wasn’t possible as they were all booked up. I found that strange for we didn’t see many people in the time we were there. It was hard to find staff to ask questions anyway. Breakfast wasn’t as good as most of the reviews said. I guess I was disappointed since for the price you could stay just about anywhere near the beach. We visited late October.

For lone woman guests and anyone in need of somewhere to recover a little you won’t get better than this. Complete contrast to the big hotels with their vanilla styles. My room was a delightful mix of old and new, set off a cool courtyard, and with a huge marble bathroom. I had a great evening meal during which the lovely owner made me feel completely at home. Coffee in the Library. This is my new place I’ll be staying whenever I am in Cyprus in my own and I’m already looking forward to going back.

A cozy hotel in a beautiful village
Great, cozy little space with only a few rooms in the centre of a well maintained village. The village itself is beautiful and has easy access to the freeway a few kilometres away. It’s an enjoyable space with a central courtyard linking all the rooms. The rooms themselves are a reasonable size, not as luxuriously appointed as some chain hotels but have character and allow for a comfortable night sleep. This whole hotel and it’s sureounds have a charm that would be hard to replicate in a big hotel in the cities. Highly recommended for a restful stay.

sub-par hotel, 3 stars at most, not a 4 star place
Sub-par hotel, not as nice as pictures, descriptions, star rating and other reviews make it out to be. CONS: Run by non-locals - could also be seen as a positive, this depends... Tile floors in rooms look dirty Extra roll of toilet paper in bathroom in room is not wrapped but placed on a high shelf and when I took it down to replace the empty roll i noticed a dead bug and a lot of dirt/dust on the TP We were 2 ppl in a room and took a towel out one day to keep in the car in case we got wet (were visiting the coast). when we got back to the hotel after turnaround service, only 1 bath towel had been replaced..thus leaving us with 1 clean towel to share. i had to ask for another one at the front desk which yes, they promptly gave me, but come on, just give us 2 towels, you know there are 2 people in the room Hugely inefficient furniture setup in superior room we were in. huge arm chair right in front of closet which made accessing the closet and the safe nearly impossible. extremely annoying broken closet doors super difficult/hard to open and close doors!! why? why must you turn the door handle so strongly and so severely just to get it to shut? this is not an antiquity issue - this is just common sense - please replace door knobs with easier to use parts this is the kind of hotel that doesn't have a working front desk 24/7. or even 1/24... really, NO ONE was ever there at the desk. in our stay i saw 3 main girls working as hostesses (also waitresses, etc.)

Lovely 12 bedroom hotel in a small village. Excellent staff who are really helpful and welcoming. Super breakfast in the courtyard each day. A dining room is also available for the evening and there are taverna choices in the village. The swimming pool is more a plunge pool. Spa facilities are available. The only downside for us was the rather hard mattress on the bed.

Very pleasant hotel
Very pleasant hotel, in the centre of a charming and quiet village, but not during the Orthodox Holy Week – the local teenagers really like to throw petards at any time of the day and mostly at night during this period, the hotel is opposite the church, so the sleep is a problem during this period. Apart from this inconvenience, it was a good base for visiting Larnaca, Limassol and the surrounding area. Our Junior Suite was big, nicely decorated, clean (thanks Maria!) with a big and comfortable bed and very good bathroom. The jacuzzi bath was so big we were afraid to use it just in case the island will run dry. The service was friendly and very helpful – we will miss the smile of Lydia who seemed to work 7 days a week at the reception desk. We had half board and we were very happy with the quality of the food and the service. Thank you for all and we hope we will come back someday.
