Comfortable, very friendly hotel with 17 sizeable sea-view rooms perched amid the olive groves on the green hillside above Horefto. By road it’s almost 1.5km short of the beach, but via a footpath it’s only 200m from the sea. Special facilities are available for partially sighted guests. The Marea restaurant on the expansive terrace serves all meals in high season.
