Cons:

C'è stato uno spiacevole disguido all'arrivo, non risultava la nostra prenotazione. Per fortuna si è risolto tutto rapidamente.
Il letto della nostra camera era particolarmente rumoroso.

Beautiful location, great breakfast, poor management
Pros:

The location in the mountain is stunning. The air is fresh even in their summer, the view and the night sky are beautiful. The breakfast was the best we had in two weeks of traveling around the island. The coffee served is also very good.

Cons:

The staff‘s mood and care-taking definitely can do with improvement. We had arranged an early booming and I had booked a room with balcony. When we arrived the room was not ready. Then it had no balcony. We had to wait. Then had to ask for the type we had booked and got an „eye-roll“ „if it has to be“ comment. Obviously not ok. The room itself then lacked actual things like…sheets

Un bell’edificio storico, non sempre il massimo del comfort
Pros:

La posizione è molto bella, il bosco intorno è davvero lussureggiante. L’edificio storico è anche molto interessante, qualcosa di unico nel panorama dell’isola. I bagni appena ristrutturati sono ottimi. Perfetto se si vuole scappare dalla folla delle spiagge.

Cons:

Le stanze sono piccole e gli arredamenti delle stanze, che so essere storici, sono un po’ troppo spartani. La chiusura della reception alle 20h è piuttosto limitante. La colazione non è particolarmente ricca.

Une atypique et très belle ballade temporelle
Pros:

Son côté atypique ! À l’extérieur on se croirait en Autriche et à l’intérieur dans le décor du film Shinning. C’est extraordinaire, un voyage dans le temps. Le personnel est très sympathique, l’ambiance et le décor, tout est réunît pour passer un bon moment.

Cons:

Le fait qu’il n’y est pas de restauration le soir alors que tout s’y prête. Le personnel quitte les lieux entre 19h et 20h et vous êtes « seuls «  dans cet immense hôtel

Pros:

Polite staff despite the difficulties that the policy of the establishment gave.

Cons:

The fact that you are on the top of a mountain, in the middle of the forest and they close everything at 18;00
No bar, no restaurant, no service, no nothing after 18:00. Like if you get thirsty.mmtoo bad, sorry. It reminded me more of a hostel than a hotel. Too bad, pitty for the perfect location, pitty for the historical value.

Winter Getaway
Pros:

Staff was fantastic, Tsambika was exceptional helping us especially with local restaurants 😀 The room was big enough with comfortable bed and endless heat as we visited for the New Year. The whole New Year bash was well planned, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cons:

The area is so beautiful, with forests surrounding it. It would be nice to have some activities for guests but of course that could also be arranged by third parties 🥳

Κατώτερο των προσδοκιών
Pros:

Είναι ένα ιστορικό κτήριο σε υπέροχη τοποθεσία μέσα στο βουνό, με εκπληκτική θέα.
Ιδανικό για τους λάτρεις της φύσης και της ηρεμίας.

Cons:

Το πρωινό είναι φτωχό σε ποικιλία και ποιότητα (π.χ. προσφέρεται 1 είδος αλλαντικό, 1 είδος τυρί της φθηνότερης ποιότητας) τα οποία αναπληρώνονται με αργούς ρυθμούς.
Το μπαρ που είναι η μοναδική "δραστηριότητα" του καταλύματος κλείνει 20:30-21:00.
Άρα ή θα πας για ύπνο από τις 21:00 ή καλή τύχη ψάχνοντας να βρεις κάτι να κάνεις στην μέση του πουθενά.
Το λες και παραπλανητικό, όταν το σάιτ αναφέρει στις υπηρεσίες του ξενοδοχείου "καφέ, μπαρ, εστιατόριο".
Στο δωμάτιο προσφέρουν 2 (ολογράφως δύο) μπουκαλάκια νερό 0,5lt, άρα αν διψάσεις μετά τις 21:00 να εύχεσαι να βρέχει.
Κρίμα...

Όμορφη εμπειρία
Pros:

Ηταν όμορφο και ήταν φανταστικό το παλιό αλλά vintage στυλ που έχει κρατήσει. Το δωμάτιο ήταν όμορφο και καθαρό το μπαλκόνι μικρό αλλά όμορφο. Το μπάνιο επίσης ομορφο φαίνεται πιο σύγχρονο αλλά ταιριάζει στο στυλ προσωπικά μου άρεσε αρκετά. Ο κύριος που μας έκανε τσεκ ιν και ήταν και στο μπαρ ευγενικότατος. Γενικότερα ήταν όλα όπως ακριβώς τις φωτογραφίες.
