Familiär, gastfreundlich mit gutem Ärger

Wer keine großen Hotels mag, sondern lieber ewas Familiäres und Individuelles bevorzugt ist hier richtig. Manolis ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber. Trotz rudimentärer Fremdsprachenkenntnisse war er immer sehr offen und zuvorkommend und hatte immer einen Spaß für die Kinder auf Lager. Die ganze Organisation und Kommunikation lief ansonsten über Bärbel, welche immer gut erreichbar war. Die Ortschaft ist ländlich, jedoch mit guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und zum Teil erstklassigen Restaurants. Volle Empfehlung.
