This hotel was exactly what I was looking for. Quiet, far from the nightlife with beautiful seaview. Lots of artworks on the walls, clean and cool bedrooms. Cleaning was more accurate than in a 4-5 stars hotel.

Unfortunately the swimming pool has closed at 19:00 (as I remember), but we could accept this. Some days my chlidren were in the pool from morning to evening.

The bar at the pool offers not too varied food, just "snacks" and ice creams. However it was enough for us. There is a small food store in one building where we could buy bread, milk, etc.

We have booked an apartment with 3 bedrooms, living room and two bathrooms: I estimated it to 80-100 square meters.

The staff was very sweet, we were talking with them a lot (everyone speaks English, including the cleanup ladies) We were also talking with the owner (manager?) Michalis, and I have to say I found out lots of interesting things about Greece and Chios from him. That is why I really like this kind of small family hotels.

Michalis has offered some good restaurants on the island, and their suggestions were always good. He did not know too much about the good beaches, so we have discovered the coast. Finally we decided that Lithi's beach was the best.

If you stay here I suggest to rent a car or travel with your own car. The ferry boat between Athens and Piraeus is one of the fastests on the Aegean sea, only 5-6 hours traveling (Nissos Chios ferry boat). Without car it is very difficult to discover the island's beauties.

The road to the hotel is picturesque and adventurous. For first sight a little bit dangerous, but after the third time it was OK.

Staff, location, accomodation: everything was better than I have expected. I recommend to families with small children, and do not forget to have a car.
