Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a wonderful stay! The pool is lovely, and the views are absolutely beautiful. Our room was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, and the shower was one of the best we had on the whole island. Breakfast was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were especially kind in helping us retrieve our luggage from our previous hotel. The only downside was the parking, which is typical for the area. We would absolutely love to stay here again!
Beautiful Pool!

Beautiful and quiet, luxurious having made to order breakfast brought to the room. A little hard to reach the front desk prior to check in and with limited hours/staffing. Imerovigli is lovely, but less of a hub for public transport so something to consider for those travelling without renting private transportation.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was quite kind and accommodating and the location was nice with good value for cost. Unfortunately the bathroom floor drain had an issue that caused puddles to form overnight/throughout the day from back flow. The balcony breakfast was quaint and relaxing though not overly appetizing.
