Die Lage ist nicht zu überbieten. Ich mag den Charme dieser Ausstattung in Marmor und Holz.
Pros:

Lage am Strand, Ort fußläufig, parken entspannt, sauber. Sehr viel Platz. Personal freundlich.
Möbel und Ausstattung wie vor 20 Jahren, aber alles ok.

Cons:

Da als Hotel geführt, gibt es keine vollwertige Küche.

Old fashioned hotel just right at the beach
Pros:

The hotel is located almost on the beach, but at the same time within walking distance of the center with all the restaurants and other attractions. The rooms are amazing, I have never seen a hotel with such large rooms and huge king-size beds.

Cons:

It's quite an old fashioned hotel and might not be the best choice for everyone.

Beautiful spacious old style apartment
Pros:

Beautiful old style hotel with spacious apartments immaculately clean. The property is right on the beach & though we couldn’t see the beach from our first floor balcony (look at trees) it was a 1 minute walk across the sand. Great hospitality from the hosts - we would definitely stay again

Cons:

Nothing - it was perfect

Pros:

Buona posizione . Letti comodi . Personale cordiale e presente . Bel giardino

Cons:

Assenza di ascensore. L’interno dell’appartamento pulito ma non concordante con le foto messe sul web. Tutto molto vecchieggiante e malandato (pareti in linoleum staccate in più parti, porta del bagno rotta che non chiude bene e senza chiave).

Great Stay
Pros:

Location was great. Room was massive (in a good way). Huge Balcony with sea and mountain view. Great overall.
Τοποθεσια τελεια. Το δωμαριο τεραστιο και πολυ ωραιο. Πολυ μεγαλο μπαλκονι με θεα τη θάλασσα και το βουνο. Γενικα εξαιρετικο.

Cons:

One huge problem for fussy sleepers just like me. It did not have black out curtains and the outdoor shutters were not fully blackout.
Ενα τεράστιο πρόβλημα για τους ανθρωπους με δυσκολια στον ύπνο. Χρειαζομαι απολυτο σκοταδι για να κοιμηθώ. Δεν είχε κουρτίνες blackout και τα παντζούρια ειναι απο αυτα που αφηνουν το φως να μπει πρωι πρωι. Αρα δεν κοιμήθηκα καλα.

Superb
Pros:

Great location. We liked that it was on a shady part of the bustling beach. When we saw our room we were surprised that it was an entire apartment with a separate kitchen and living room.. the whole thing had a wrap around balcony.

Cons:

No elevator but often to be expected.

The perfect hotel
Pros:

So spacious, spotlessly clean, friendly helpful staff. It was an apartment, so had a kitchen living room and long balcony. Also the biggest bed we have ever slept in! It was in a great location, by the beach, just minutes from everything. There’s not many places we would return to, but we woukd come bqck here in a heartbeat.

Cons:

Nothing. The only suggestion would be to include a coffee maker / cafetiere in the kitchen.
