We had a lovely stay at Villa Andrea . The house is cosy and felt like a home away from home. Violeth, our host, was incredibly kind and patient. Even when we arrived later than expected, she stayed in touch and made sure everything went smoothly. Communication was clear and friendly throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a peaceful and well-hosted stay!

    We had a great stay at the Balcony House, they are really family friendly and made our 4 year old feel welcome and safe. Saidi on the front desk was very helpful and kind, we enjoyed his friendly chilled manner. The location was great with a bakery opposite and a short walk to all tourist attractions as well as a nice little water side cafe with affordable food. We felt very at home and want to stay back here at the end of our trip!
