Bonne base pour explorer une région magnifique
Pros:

Très bon rapport qualité/prix pour ce studio.
Les environs sont magnifiques, sûrement notre partie préférée de la Crête !
Nous avions une jolie vue de notre chambre, et l’hôtel est dans un champ d’oliviers donc un cadre très agréable. Il y a une ou deux tavernes accessibles à pied, et plein d’autres en seulement quelques minutes de voiture. C’est une bonne base pour explorer la région !

Πολύ καλό αλλά..
Pros:

Ήταν η απόλυτη ησυχία για κάποιον που θέλει να ηρεμήσει από το θόρυβο της πόλης!!! Με ωραία θεα!!

Cons:

Είχε αρκετό δρόμο από το χωριό του αγκάθια μέχρι τα δωμάτια που ήταν τα λιοδεντρα κ πάει άνετα αγροτικό..! θα έπρεπε κατά τη γνώμη μου να τσιμεντωσουν έστω μόνο τη διαδρομή σαν μονοπάτι για τα αμάξια!
