    “We absolutely loved our stay here. The property is located in the heart of Symi, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the shops and port, making it the perfect location. The rooms are full of character and history, which makes staying here feel like a real treat. The rooftop bar is easily one of the best spots in Symi, with extraordinary views over the island and the most incredible sunsets — even better enjoyed with one of their delicious cocktails. We also had the pleasure of trying the fine dining restaurant, which was absolutely outstanding. The menu is beautifully thought out, with a real focus on local produce, and every dish we had was exceptional. A special mention to Yanis/Jon, the hotel manager, who was absolutely wonderful — incredibly friendly, welcoming and always happy to take the time for a chat. Daniel, the waiter and barman, was also fantastic. He had so many great and interesting stories about the island and really added to the experience. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% come back. We’ve already recommended this place to family and friends and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Symi.”
