The owner Duska - grandma Stephanie's granddaughter - who whole-heartedly created this fairytale princess mansion, will charm you with her vibrant nature and an intense passion for life.

I was impressed by the passion this hotel has and felt complete serenity at the same time ...

The endlessness of the view passing the pool towards the sea channel, the warmth of the surrounding nature, recently planted olive trees and grandma Stephanie's house which was a constant inspiration for the innovative entrepreneuress together create an almost surreal atmosphere, created for getting in touch with yourself.
