Emelisse Nature Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful family-run hotel. We stayed for six nights and found it very comfortable....it genuinely felt like home, thanks to the number of different spaces to sit and relax. It was never too crowded to find somewhere quiet to go. The food was lovely, with everything home-baked at breakfast, and the views and rooms were beautiful. Our only negative experience was that our bathroom wasn't very clean on arrival, and our room smelled of drains. We asked to move rooms, but staff weren't very helpful in assisting us, and we never heard back from them for the rest of our trip....despite paying for two rooms (a garden courtyard room and a double) to accommodate the five of us. I later checked online and saw there was a spare room available, which made the lack of response even more disappointing. Aside from that, everyone was very helpful."

A 5 minute walk or 10 minute stroll to the harbour and the tavernas. Located up a little bit of an incline but I managed it well enough even while carrying a weeks supply of water for 2 and I’m 68."
