More than met our expectations .. highly recommend
More than exceeded our expectations. Very accommodating and helpful staff and a perfectly comfortable and nicely presented room. The upstairs jacuzzi and sun loungers that came with our suite were great and it is an oasis of tranquility just metres away from the Caldera view madness and cruise ship hordes.

The Marco Sanudo suite was lovely. Sweet ocean breeze, views of Aegean and church, close to main path but pretty quiet, kind host and cleaning services.

아주 만족합니다.
관광지와 접근성은 골목하나 차이라 조용하면서 바로 관광지이고....조식도 엄청 잘 챙겨주고. 청소도 깨끗합니다.
가성비 완벽한 숙소라고 생각합니다.
