It started well when met at the airport by a taxi arranged for us by the hotel. The next time we saw our luggage was in our room. Our welcome on arrival was excellent with a drink and lovely confectionary. We were then taken on a tour of the small but stunning hotel and ended at our room on the top floor. It is a lovely room with a splendid view over the sea and a large private balcony, again with wonderful views. The only downside is that the hotel lift stops one flight of narrow and steep stairs short of the room. That wasn't very much of a problem for us, particularly since we didn't need to struggle with our luggage, but anyone who has a problem with stairs should choose a different room. The room is equipped with TV and CD player with a small selection of discs. In addition, at the foot of the stairs was a massive selection of books, many of which are in English. Breakfast was on the ground floor terrace and is served until 13.00. This suited us fine and most days we enjoyed a brunch from around 10.30 or 11.00. There is a wide selection of dishes for breakfast including very fresh fruit, with or without yoghurt, and the best fresh orange juice ever. We were never in a hurry, which was just as well since service was definitely on the slow side, although I'm not sure if this was to do with the charming waiter or the kitchen. Overall the staff were excellent and were more than happy to recommend and book restaurants for us for dinner. The hotel is brilliantly placed overlooking the Aegean and just a very short stroll to the heart of the town. One day happened to be my birthday and they came all the way up to our room carrying two glasses of bubbly and two chocolate mousse, accompanied by a verse of Happy Birthday - I was touched. Apparently they had intended to present this at breakfast, but it was probably better in the room as we consumed the drinks and put the mousse in the fridge to enjoy later. Overall a lovely three night stay in an impressive historic building
