We booked a villa at this hotel for 4 people for 5 nights. The villa featured two master bedrooms, an open-plan living room and kitchen, and a private pool. The total cost was €2,944, including the municipal tax. • The rooms were beautifully designed and well-maintained. • The outdoor pool area was lovely and offered a relaxing atmosphere. But….. • None of the windows had mosquito screens, which m...

Great hotel , with great view and amazing staff. We didn’t visit the pool , spa and the fitness center due to illness, but I know there are fantastic. Will come back again in summer.

The hotel is a little away from the center of Parga. A quiet location. Even though it was high season, it didn't feel crowded with guests, as there aren't that many rooms. Our room was worn and didn't live up to the pictures that neither the hotel nor the travel agency showed. Many things in the room and at the hotel in general are defective and needs maintenance. We requested two things be done d...

It's not a perfect hotel, but i give Them 5 stars because some things mean more for me than the others ➕️ good mattress in the room (I give it a huge plus) Smiling, professional and serviceminded personal ➖️ looks a little far from both beaches and too close to a rather busy road. But there was a nice view to the mountains and sea

Wonderful staff, great hotel, fabulous for a quiet family holiday. Just need more restaurant food options and a more frequent bus to & from Parga. Big thank you to Noni and her lovely team at reception. Special mention to Angelika, who is very hard working and such a delightful person. Location is not an issue if the great mini bus service ran more often, maybe every 2 hours. But it's not a ma...

Great hotel. All the staff were always smiling and happy which makes a great atmosphere in the hotel. Everyone provided excellent service. They are a credit to the owners. Names that we noted were Noni and Vicky who were really informative on our trips out and advised on some of the places to visit. This isn't to the detriment of other staff- we just didn't get their names. We must mention Sofia i...
