View was fantastic! Slept well in a very comfortable bed. Room and bathroom were clean. Room was on the ground floor with courtyard. Was able to open back door and walk to fortress wall for spectator view. Next visit plan to try an upper floor room.
We had a hard time finding the location, but once we got there, we enjoyed our spot, especially the access to swimming and our private balcony with the beautiful view of the sea.
The place was very cozy and nicely decorated. The host responses to everything very quickly and was very helpful. It was a wonderful stay, my family loved the view and the space. It was easy to walk to the ocean from the back of the house. The downstairs AC and shower head were broken, but everything else was great! Highly recommend and would revisit!
Great view from the patio. The space is very large and perfect for our family of 4. It is very close to the entrance of the city so you don’t have too far to go with any luggage or bags. It could use a bit of an update but great for our one night stay.
Very traditional style home - furnished period correct and refurbished with great details. Location is extremely convenient and my specific room had spectacular views. Great experience!
The location was perfect. Great air conditioning. Clean room. Walking distance to everything. The only thing we didn't like was the bed. It was way too hard. Everything else was great.

Stunning views
The highlight by far was the view from your own private terrace. It was a stunning window onto this piece of paradise. Quiet and secluded and yet one street away from the shops and restaurants.
The room wasn’t much to talk about, a bit dark and dull, but the place is definitely worth booking for the terrace.
Amazing cottage within the castle village. Oozing with old charm character of the yesteryear. It’s close to the gate, so not much walking through the cobblestone laneways with suitcases. Very clean and excellent communication considering our late arrival. Thank you!
We enjoyed our 2 night in a room with a balcony. The room was small ( which was ok for us) had nice details to suit the old feeling. Shower was very small and water run all over but it had hot water. Easy check in. It is not far from the gate so very short walk with all our staff. Need better sign in English, we passed the place and had to come back. Over all nice and reusable priced. Next to all the restaurants in the town.
Check in time is between 2 and 3pm. As inconvenient as that is, the road to the castle is currently under repair so there is no parking past the causeway. So either a 20 minute walk uphill in the heat or a shuttle which runs every 30 minutes ( roughly). Except the shuttle doesn’t operate between 2 and 3 pm! So it is difficult to check in on time!
Why wouldn’t Goulas advise this?
The double room with sea view is very small with the bed taking up 80% of the room. The bed also has protruding decorations which can inflict quite painful encounters with knees or shins. You have to ask why get a bed like that in such a small room?
Nothing else in the room except the tv, air con and a few cupboards. The patio area has a great view of the sea with 2 metal chairs (no cushions) and a small table.
Newly tiled bathroom is very small with great water pressure from the hand held shower ( no bracket for this).
All in all, very poor value for money and relatively uncomfortable.

The beds were terrible…hard as sleeping on a slab of stone….no lighting in the kitchen, no table lamps….every light was an overhead light. Could not even make a cup of coffee after sunset. The upstairs bed in our room had sand on the sheets.
