Wer absolute ruhe und Privatsphäre sucht und ein paar tage am strand entspannen möchte ist hier genau richtig
Pros:

Kleine sehr ruhige anlage abseits jeden trubels. Wir sind zum 3. mal hier und genießen die zurückgezogenheit und den allerbesten privaten strand der ganzen umgebung.

Cons:

Das hotel hat mit den jahren insgesamt etwas nachgelassen, ist jedoch immer teurer geworden.

Összessègében nem rossz, de nem vàlasztanánk újra.
Pros:

Szép strand, tisztaság, nyugodt környezet.

Cons:

Luxusnak nem luxus, nem beszélnek angolul a személyzet tagjai. Az szálloda éttermében sokat kell várni és sokszor a rendelt ételek nagy része lemarad.

fantastica location nel cuore dello ionio ma ....attenzione alla gestione delle emergenze
Pros:

Ristorazione di alto livello sia per il colazione sia per la cena, con piatti di ottima qualità sia per materia prima che per preraprazione. Spiaggia ben curata e molto comoda con un mare fantastico soprattutto alle prime luci del giorno. Pulizia della location e della stanza di buon livello con camera confortevole e ben organizzata.

Cons:

A seguito di diversi black-out occorsi nella serata di domenica 2 agosto ho trovato assolutamente non sicuro la mancanza assoltua di luci di emergenza per illuminare (come per legge) le vie di esodo soprattutto molto grave la mancanza di illuminzione intorno alla piscina con il rischio che se qulacuno camminava in prossimità della stessa poteva caderci dentro riportando gravi conseguenze. nonostante la cortesia e professionalità del personale presente i sistemi domotici hanno impedito la ripartenza del condizionamento. Sicuramente quanto accaduto merita la dovuta attenzione da parte della proprietà e della gestione per un significativo miglioramento della struttura per la gestione delle emergenze soprtattutto visto che il cambiamento climatico potrà comportare sempre più nel futuro queste situazioni
