Guest Reviews
- Rita (10/5): -
- REMI (8/5): - Magnifique paysage et proche bien à la mer et la piscine Aucun négatif
- Vera (9/5): Gut für Familienaufenthalt - Pool, geeignet auch für kleine Kinder,
Freundlichkeit des Personals und der Besitzer, sehr sauber, Klimaanlage,
ruhige Lage, 200m zum Strand.
- Nigel (8/5): -
- Joanna (10/5): - Apartament na uboczu co daje ciszę jeśli chcesz odpocząć, blisko do miasteczka wieczorem dużo się dzieje.
Do plaży krótki spacerek.
Basen czysty dużo leżaków i bar przy basenie.
Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna.
- Mukesh (10/5): - We got the villa by the pool. It was perfect for our holidays. It was spacious and has been recently renovated. Both the bathrooms were newly fitted and morden. The appliances were new. Four base induction hob,fridge,washing machine,microwave, toaster, toasty maker,kettle, and a few other things that we didn't use. 2 bedrooms have mosquito nets, which we didnt use them. 1 bedroom didnt have mozi nets. ( mozis are there, and unavoidable probably in the whole of Corfu, as it is very green and lush......bring a good repellent ) Airconditioning was powerful and cooled the rooms in a few minutes. The appt was cleaned every 2 days with sheets and towels replaced.
Pool was excellent. Good size. Plenty of beds and parsols. We got good weather (blue skies) except for a much needed downpour on one of the days. There is a well equiped bar, if u need a beer, spirit, softdrink, or icecream or coffee. U can get toasties if u want from there. They are open till 7pm.
The appt is located slightly off ( one road out) the main strip. It is literally a 2 min walk to the beach.
******* I would suggest bring a good torch for walking back at night ******
We used our phone torch on the first nt but that was not good enough.
The main sidari strip is about 10 min walk, where u can get all sorts of food and drink,for all budgets.
They have bars that have beachbeds for day use....free for anybody buying drinks at the bar. Most bars have special offers on cocktails...about 6euro.
Quite a few around. We liked the bedbar, calypso, irishbar, matts, greekvillage..... all very good. Most show the football....I preffered the babylon bar(part of greekvillage bar as they had good English commentry and the beers were only €3)
We walked to the canal de amor. Sunset was a good time as it was less busy and the walk was pleasant.... another 15 mins from the main strip. Lots of bars and restaurants around that area. Everything was good for us.
- Αθανάσιος (10/5): -
- Lorraine (10/5): A fantastic stay! We will be returning! - It was clean and had all the facilities that we needed for our stay. The property was in a great location and an easy walk into Sidari. The host was lovely and made us feel very welcomed. Nothing
- Alina (10/5): - Everything was perfect, Vaso and Fondas are wonderful hosts, making us feel very welcomed
- NATALIE (10/5): A little gem of a place just 5 mins from the beach/strip… perfect - What a little gem, a 5 min walk to megali beach and start of the strip, we had the 3 bedroom villa out the way in its own, it also had 3 bathrooms, very clean, everything you could possibly need, even left little bottles of shampoo/shower gel, was bottles of water, biscuits, and home made jam.
The owners were so lovely and very welcoming and would check daily if everything is ok and if we needed anything. Nothing it was lovely and peaceful
- Denisa Elena (10/5): The owner was very nice and careful, they were waiting us with water, bread, home made jam , wafers and orange juice. - All was amazing.
The room with new furniture and electronics, bathroom renovation very nice, the room has terrace in front.
Very big and green garden.
A big pool with clean water. 💕💕💕💕
- SG (9/5): - Traditional apartments etc. with a lovely large swimming pool. Never crowded and very quiet. A little off the beaten track so a quiet area too. Only a 10/15 minute walk to the main part of Sidari, and there's a natural beach nearby. Nice, spacious gardens with a few activities (table tennis, basketball nets, children's play equipment). We had a distant sea view from our upper balcony - excellent! The bathroom in our apartment had been updated - the shower was amazing. We really liked it here and would stay again. Oh, and the lovely owners left us water and treats on arrival, so thoughtful. Thank you!
- amina (9/5): - Super hôte très sympathique !
Logement à deux minutes de la mer.
Piscine et jardin agréables
- Cees (9/5): Prima accomodatie met zeer gastvrije host. - Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame gastvrouw. Locatie was iets op afstand, maar dat vonden wij wel prettig. Prettige accomodatie, van alle gemakken voorzien. Bedden waren wel wat hard. Verder soms wat gedateerd, maar alles werkte prima. Verder geen opmekringen.
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Alex (10/5): Perfect for families with a huge pool and spacious villa! - We loved our week at Helena Apartments! From the moment we arrived we were looked after so nicely. Our villa was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The pool is huge and the poolside bar was a nice surprise (especially the frozen pint glasses for the ice cold beers). It is a 5 minute walk to the beach and then another 5 minutes to the main strip with plenty of choice of bars and restaurants. We will definitely be back!! We are two families with 4 kids aged 5-11 Honestly nothing
- Bart (9/5): - De rustige ligging, strand op een steenworp afstand en de Hoofdstraat met een heerlijke wandeling van 10 minuten te bereiken. Vriendelijke eigenaren, welke direct voor je klaar staan. Schone accomodatie en omgeving.
Kamer schoonmaak, nieuwe handdoeken en beddengoed iedere 3 dagen, wat voor ons prima was. Kan hier en daar wat onderhoud en schilderwerk gebruiken.
- Tamburrini (8/5): - Posizione rispetto a Sidari, è abbastanza lontana da poter stare tranquillissimi, ma in macchina si arriva in 2 minuti al supermercato e in 4 al parcheggio in centro a Sidari, gratuito. Piscina grande, profonda e in generale stupenda, con lettini gratuiti disponibili e in ombra. Zero traffico. In 3 minuti a piedi si và in spiaggia dove ci sono ristoranti e bar. Appartamento carino, non grande ma attrezzato. Terrazzo esterno va bene per mangiare fuori. Gestione cordialissima disponibile e gentile. Ottimo giardino interno con ping pong e altalena e spazio per giocare in sicurezza con cagnolino. Le zanzare sul balcone, rende difficile cenare fuori. I letti sono corti e non vanno bene per me che sono 1,90. Materasso ok ma non top. Il tavolo interno della cucina è un po' troppo piccolo per poterci cenare in 4.
- Tímea (10/5): - Nagyon kedves, segítőkész személyzet. Hangulatos szállás, nagy kerttel és medencével, bárral. Bekészítessel vártak, kétnaponta tiszta ágynemű, törölköző és takarítás. Tengerpart is közel. Csak ajánlani tudom. Nem volt.
- Aoife (9/5): We had a great time here, plenty to do for 3 children, great pool and terrific hosts -
- Anfieldpat (10/5): Delightful place and highly recommended - Such a great place to stay! Our villa was superb and came with it's own lovely garden. Plenty of room and everything was very clean and very comfortable. We only stayed for a short time, but the owners were brilliant and made our stay even better... their homemade Kumquat jam was wonderful!Really nice pool and bar area, and the whole place just had a really nice vibe. It's set back from the beach down a little country road, so close enough to walk to everything Sidari has to offer, but just far back enough to be nice and peaceful. We will definitely be returning next year (for longer next time!), and would recommend that anyone else who likes the smaller family run places does the same... you won't be disappointed! 10 out of 10 for me The only thing I didn't like was having to leave!!
- Tracey (10/5): Excellent we just loved it thank you Fondas and vassa - The owners met us as soon as we got there made us feel so welcome.Nothing was too much for them . We will definitely be going back what a gem of a find . Nothing exceptional place and hosts
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
- Philip (10/5): Perfect location and accommodation for family holiday in Sidari. Best location, as very close to bars & restaurants - Great location. Lovely pool and recreational facilities. Villa 10 was perfect. Retained Greek charm, very spacious, clean with all necessary facilities. Lovely friendly hosts, really helpful. Nothing.
- Ruta (8/5): Good accomodation if you like peace and quite - Confortable apartment, really nice staff The location is a little bit old, even if the apartment looks recently renovated, the building, the yard look like they need a refresh. Being soo green a lot of mosquitos so some nets at the door will help.
15-20min walk to the main Sidari street with taverns and shops.
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional - The whole complex. We had 4 units between 16 of us family and friends and it felt like we had the complex and pool to ourselves Nothing. It was everything that we all needed
- Nicoleta (8/5): Very good - Very nice host, very clean, after 3 days the sheets were changed. Nice garden , a lot of space The apartment needs a little renovation, especially in the bathroom. The location is a little isolated, there is no shop or tavern close, you need to take a 15min walk.
- Graham (7/5): We had a great time in the area and at the accomodation - Great swimming pool and nice hostess Needs some TLC, they could cut the grass and maintain the gardens which can be a big appeal to future guests
- Katy (10/5): Most comfortable and well equipped - The proprietor is so lovely and accommodating. The apartment had everything you would need in a self catering place. Close to beach and supermarket. Air conditioner fan and iron are available for comfort . Lovely shower and water pressure. Spotless cleaning and large fridge freezer . Parking for your car and a huge lovely swimming pool. Mosquito repellent plugins and coils supplied. Fantastic stay !!!! Absolutely nothing it was perfect
- Kremena (7/5): Good - The staff,the pool Location,beds are super hard,no mosqito nets.There are ants in the rooms.Grounds are beautiful, but not mantained.The whole place needs manucuring and facelift.Bedroom furnitures are very very dated.Kitchen and bathroom are renovated.It is a budget accommodation,thus no expectations,but if I go again would stay a more central and would not compromise with the comfort.Check well the location:downtown at night you cannot go without a car.
- Yujing (9/5): Superb -
- Stephen (10/5): Great relaxing family resort experience close to Sidari - We had a wonderful 6 night stay at Helena Apartments which we found very relaxing in a nice garden setting.
The apartment was very clean and functional with a reasonably equipped kitchen and very good value. Had a lovely balcony overlooking the garden and pool.
A few mozzies around at dusk though to be expected and not really an issue if you take sensible precautions.
The pool area was great and very clean and lovely shade in the evening and lots of loungers and umbrellas for during the day.
Also ping pong table and playground.
The host was very proactive and friendly. Felt like a small family resort.
Only 5 min walk down quiet road to a beach and 15 mins walk to Sidari proper and Canal D’Amore.
Highly recommended Nothing
- Gergely (8/5): Very good -
- Karen (10/5): Spacious apartment with veranda - Location from the beach
- Katalin (9/5): Superb - We had a great time here, the house was very nice and our host was extremely helpful and kind. We especially enjoyed the pool that was never too crowded. Great for families with young children too (we were travelling with a 20-month-old).
- Artúr (10/5): Exceptional -
- Craig (9/5): Superb - Great staff. Lovely and clean. Peaceful.
- Gergő (10/5): Exceptional - Very well located nice apartment, with very kind host!
Our stay was perfect at Helena Apartments, i strongly recommend it!
- Ermelina (10/5): Exceptional - I am very happy with the accommodation, the host was very nice and careful with every detail. The location was 5 minutes walk from the beach and 10 minutes walk from shops. The property was very clean and spacey and it felt like home. Fully recommend it! ❤️❤️
- Blanka (9/5): Super nice hosts, great location. - The apartment is in a great location, about a 10-minute walk from the beach, and Canal d'Amour is also accessible with a 25-minute walk. The apartment was very clean (it was cleaned every two days). Adamantia was incredibly kind to us the entire time; she welcomed us warmly and gave us a tour, even when we arrived at 1 a.m. instead of the originally planned 10 p.m. due to our delayed flight. The pool and ping pong tables were also great, and the kitchen was fully equipped. Our apartment had three balconies, two of them with sea views. The only downside was that for the first two days, we had quite loud neighbors, and the louder noises could be heard through the walls.
- Erika (10/5): Exceptional - The Apartment was clean and near the beach, the owner is very kind and lovely. I recommend 100% to everyone.
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kaliroi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Corbridge (9/5): We had an amazing stay and would most definitely recommend it to friends and family. - The villa was a perfect size for our family of 5. The cleaner came every other day. The pool was lovely, however the children prefer the beach. The location could not have been better. We were within walking distance of everything - the beach, shops, tavernas & bars. We had a car for the length of our stay so we were able to travel to other places including Aqualand, Corfu Town, other beaches & tavernas that were too far to walk to. We could have managed without the car but it was an added bonus & meant we could visit more of the island. The hosts were helpful and available if we had any questions or problems. All in all a wonderful stay. Our only downside was that the kitchen wasn’t very well equipped. We only ate in 3 times in our 11 day stay and on those days we struggled a little with cooking and serving equipment. We managed with what we had but it wasn’t ideal. Also, the water pressure in the showers was pretty poor so it wasn’t easy to wash hair but again we managed and I’m sure this is an issue on most of the island and not something that can be blamed on the apartments in particular.
- Rok (8/5): Very good -
- Luisa (10/5): Fantastic, minutes to beach, quiet location - This is an absolute gem of a place. The owners were superb, couldn’t do enough for us, always smiling and friendly with some good advice on the local area.
The apartment was very clean, great air con in both bedrooms, a big balcony and useful little kitchen. The beach is a few minutes walk away, 10/15mins to centre of Sidari, 20/25mins to Canal d’amour with little supermarkets and restaurants 5mins.
The pool was surprisingly big, pretty well kept gardens, swing, slide and basketball court.
We would highly recommend! Everything was wonderful!
- Annelie (9/5): Superb -
- Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Villa, location - all perfect for what we needed
The staff were fantastic - couldn't do enough for us and genuinely lovely people
- Craig (7/5): Rustic, peaceful surroundings. - Lovely couple who ran the apartments were very helpful and friendly. Arranged taxis to the airport and gave us a free late checkout to freshen up on day of departure. Local taxis very poor, on days we wanted to avoid a long walk on the hottest days, taxi wait was in the hours not minutes.
- Karina (10/5): Very relaxing accomodation. - We had the best time at Helena apartments. They provide very relaxing atosphere. No crowds, no noise, big garden, sometimes we had pool for ourselves for hours. 10 minutes walk to the closest restaurants and shops. Very nice apartament, cozy and pretty, fully equipped kitchen. Perfect for people, who want to relax wothout crowds. It's a family business and the ownes are super friendly, kind and helpful people. Perfect place for families, there is a small playground, toys and table tennis availabe. Best experience in Corfu.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great Nothing
- Weronika (10/5): Warm and welcome atmosphere - Amazing place, beautiful and warm inside, everything was so clean, the owner is so amazing, very helpful
- Lorna (8/5): Very good - Huge pool & not busy could always get a subbed. Some days we had the pool to ourselves
Great shower! Fab balcony big with table & chairs
Hoist very welcoming. Doors were noisy opening & closing in the apartment.
- Kristina (9/5): Great apartments with a kitchen! ☀️☀️ - The owners were so nice! Apparently there were not so many bookings when we stayed so we were upgraded for free! The apartment was really clean and we had everything we needed. The balconies were really cute but beware of the mosquitos in the evening. Otherwise we were really satisfied with the apartment. The pool is also really clean and there are enough sunbeds for everyone. Just a small thing that might be subjective: the bed was a bit too hard for our liking, but it was fine 😅 Otherwise everything was great!
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lefter (9/5): Superb - Everything was nice. The appartment is close to the sea (aprox 300 m) and restaurants. The pool was amazing. The room was very clean. During the afternoon they cleaning team should take care more with chairs, vacum cleaner and all the other cleaning tools since some guest might rest.
- Karen (9/5): Wonderful place with wonderful staff. - Wonderful place, can't speak highly enough of it. Easily one of the best places we've stayed in on our group holidays.
We stayed in villa/apartment 9, which was perfect four our group of six. Two lovely, large terraces, one with a view over - and direct access to - the swimming pool and sunbeds. Functional, well-stocked kitchen and two decent-sized shower rooms/toilets. Beds were comfortable and the bedrooms had plenty of room. Everything was really clean and it was serviced to a very high standard twice during our week-long stay.
The pool and gardens are fantastic, particularly (but definitely not exclusively) for the children. There are a number of communal inflatables/pool noodles for extra safety and fun. There's even a lovely wee pool bar with a small patio of shaded chairs.
Helena excels in every respect, but the ultimate jewel in its crown is its staff. They are extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful and attentive (but never intrusive). We were warmly welcomed when we turned up early, we got cheerfully greeted every time we ran into them or went to the pool bar, and we had a lovely send-off when saying goodbye. Several times during the stay they kindly gave us free drinks! They were always on hand to offer advice about local amenities and other places worth visiting on the island. And though we had already booked and paid for our taxi back to the airport, when hearing it was coming earlier than necessary they very kindly offered to help move it. Great, great people.
In short, we loved the place and will definitely go back on any future trip to Sidari. Thanks for everything! This is NOT a criticism of the complex but something future travellers might just want to be aware of. It's around half a mile to the Sidari main strip/big beach, and if you're there at the peak of high season like we were, this can seem like a LONG journey in the blistering heat (assuming you're exclusively walking like we were; as well as hire cars, there are bikes, quad bikes and suchlike available to rent in town). However, a smaller beach plus some beach bars, restaurants and shops are just down the road - this can seem far in the heat too, but is much more manageable than the full route into town. Again, this is not a criticism of Helena at all - it's an amazing complex - just something to be aware of and potentially plan for if you're planning to stay there in summer.
- Sian (10/5): Amazing holiday - The property was clean and spacious and had everything you needed. The owners couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing
- Philip (3/5): Poor -
- Irena (10/5): Our family will visit this place again. We recommend - Excellent location, very clean in the apartments and on the territory, large swimming pool, there is a children's pool, a basketball court with swords, a hammock, a large and beautiful area. A quiet place for those who like to sleep. Friendly staff. There is parking for a car. 3-5 min walk to the sea.
- Donna (10/5): fabulous - Location fabulous, we were foot steps from the pool. 5mins from the beach, loved the 3 bed villa we stayed in - showers was great, comfortable beds! would definitely go again :-) nothing - was fabulous
- Gregor (8/5): Very good -
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional - Great Location just a short walk to Sidari centre and beach only a 100m away from accommodation. Owners were lovely and very helpful. Would highly recommend Helena apartments and villas
- Lucy (10/5): Exceptional - Just returned from a wonderful stay at Helena apartments. Fondas and Vaso were wonderful hosts. We were greeted by Fondas, the Manager on arrival and shown the apartment. Bottles of water in the fridge along with orange juice and homemade jam. Little toiletries in the bathroom. Set in beautiful gardens just 5 minutes walk from Megali beach where there are a selection of restaurants, snack bars and supermarkets. Spotlessly clean apartment, maid service every other day with clean sheets/towels. Plenty of sunbeds/umbrellas around the pool. A fantastic place all round and will definitely be back next year. Thank you Fondas and Vaso 😊
- Masala (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sean (10/5): Laid back and relaxing - Excellent property set in a really good location. Easy access to beach and Sidari main strip. Property was really clean and the owners very attentive We stayed the first week in June 2024 and the on site cafe hadn’t opened yet. Not a big deal.
- Steffi (10/5): It is a beautiful place and a super location to explore the north of Corfu. Thank you! - We stayed at Helena's for about a week in August. We were warmly welcomed and immediately received tips on where to find lovely beaches or even shopping. The fridge had homemade jam from Corfu, water, and juice. The apartment is very nicely furnished. The large balcony overlooks the garden with olive trees & palm trees, sports facilities, and a pool. Every two days, the cleaner came, and the towels were changed. We usually used the pool in the morning; in the afternoon, we explored the north of Corfu by car. With its beaches and many restaurants, Sidari is also within easy walking distance. It is a beautiful place and a super location to explore the north of Corfu. Thank you!
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional - The Villa is very nice
- Arts (8/5): Very good - Nice pool and close to the beach. Room was facing north so reasonably cool plus airco was free.
Very friendly, nice welcome with few bottles of water provided as well as some lovely jam and cakes! Just needs a bit of TLC. Shower screen needed replacing, bit old and one door missing. Bit of painting would make it look a lot better.
In the kitchen we missed scissors and a tin opener. Also could do with some bowls (small and large)
- Ingo (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly, people were great with kids! Pool with several water toys. Overall not too crowded for September, we really enjoyed our stay. Did daytrips to all attractions in the north of corfu.
- Enda (9/5): Superb - A nice quiet location, only a 5 minute walk from the beach, 10 minute walk from the main strip in Sidari, best of both worlds. The staff were nice and helpful, would stay again.
- Laura (10/5): Amazing host and accommodation, made our vacation 10 time better -
- Edward (8/5): Very good -
- Victor (9/5): Superb -
- Joanne (10/5): Fabulous stay ,had everything we needed, great hosts and location - Host met us to give us keys and show us around the villa
- Mandel (8/5): Very good - Location was superb. Beach is 200m, official beach little bit further. City center walking distance across the bridge. The host was very helpful. We rented a separate house. Kichen was fully equipped for cooking your meals. When we checked in, we were greeted with bottles of water, self made jam and white bread 2 of 3 bathrooms were a little bit old. Hinges of the doors were creaked. If you are going to cook, do not forget to buy some spices like salt and pepper ;)
- Joanne (10/5): Highly recommend , hosts regularly checked all was ok and were lovely, great location, would return - Absolutely everything we needed, travelled with family and friends and booked one 3 bed villa, one two bed apartment and a studio apartment that was upgraded by fabulous hosts to a one bed maisonette
- Richard (9/5): Fantastic Stay at Helena Apartments - Clean Apartment and complex with huge pool and great attentive staff. Nothing that we didn't like. It is about a 10-15min walk to the main strip which can feel a bit of a distance after 2 weeks of it.
- Aleksandar (10/5): Exceptional - Great hospitality from the hosts and warm welcome from the first moment. Always available and make sure for you to have a pleasant stay. We got an even better apartment than expected, so big thank you to Vaso and Fondas who are great hosts.
And not to forget Ioannis at the bar and the best Frape that we drink in Greece :) Mosquitos are a bit annoying, I sugest to close the doors and windows specially at twilight
- Tomasz (9/5): The stuff was extremally nice and helpful. They were there if you need anything. They care about you and everytime they - Out apartament was right to the swimming pool. Many attractions for kids: big playground, table tennis, basketball court, toys, many swimming toys, mattrasses etc. Everything was just perfect
- Ghhena (9/5): Superb -
- Giuseppe (6/5): They should make some more effort to increase the comfort - The place where it is located and the kindness of the employees. The cleaning of the room was not daily but once in a week as also change of towels. All the building needs a revamping.

- Grigorescu (8/5): A quiet location in a rural area on the edge of Sidari. - - the swimming pool
- silence
- friendly hosts
-a large yard - the nearest beach, 5 minutes away, is not very good
- quite far from the main beach 15-20 minutes walk,
- many insects of different kinds
- one of the two bathrooms is not renovated
- the rooms are small, some of them have no wardrobe at all
- Henrik (9/5): A great place to stay for the whole family. - We had a great stay for 10 nights at Helenas apartments and villas. On arrival we were greeted by our very warm and welcoming hosts who showed all the ins and outs of the complex: The pool with its large amount of sunbeds and the 2 bedroom apartment with AC.
The hotel is situated on a quiet street only a couple of hundred meters from the sea (we had a view of the sea from our balcony - wonderful) and an about 5 minute walk to restaurants and a supermarket and an additional 5 minute walk to the hustle and bustle of the main street of Sidari with loads of restaturants/beach clubs, shops, markets, car rentals and so on.
Side note: in all of Sidare sunbeds are free of charge, as long as you are a customer (which can mean buying anything from a glass of water to a three course meal).
Sidari in itself is a fun place, both chill/relaxed and vibrant at the same time. Nearly every restaurant facing the sea has its on sunbeds and facilities. A lot of the food here is skewed towards a british clientel, but there is PLENTY of greek traditional restaurants and dishes. Cocktails is a big thing here, every place makes them really well.
Helenas apts & villas didn't yet have a bar up and running but it was close to opeining up their own.
The atmosphere here was very calm and relaxed - a feeling of don't worry be happy.
Cleaning was excellent with very good bedding and nice towels and toiletries included. We felt really, really well taken care of the whole time and would definitely visit again.
The beds were a bit too hard for our liking (but it's like that in almost any place we visit around Europe).
If you don't have a problem with sleeping without a mattress pad directly on the spring-mattress then you will have absolutely no problem here (which is why we haven't labeled this as a negative, since this is different from individual to individual).
We slept well the entire time.
- Conor (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely and clean apartments with air conditioning,really friendly and helpful staff.In a great location only a two minute walk from the beach and very close to the Main Street.

- Joan (10/5): An excellent holiday with fabulous facilities - A beautiful location in the countryside. The 20 m pool and garden were fantastic.
