Family-Style
It's a contemporary treasure hiding behind the walls of a huge 19th-century house - a collection not just of rooms but of studios for couples, maisonettes for families or groups of six, and if you've got loads and loads of friends or a huge family you can hire a whole 3-level, 5-bedroom house, including a small jacuzzi in one bathroom.
It's run by three brothers, Christos, Nikos and Vassilis Orloff - a real pack of (not man-eating) lions. You'll lov'em.
What else you'll love
The cool, modern design - strict, simple geometrical shapes with splashes of bright colour, at the same time making use of stone walls and tiled roofs to blend in neatly with the surrounding Greek architecture.
The emphasis is on nature - bedside tables made from tree trunks, furniture handmade by local artisans. Water everywhere, from the central hydro-massage pool to the private jacuzzis in some of the bathrooms to the steam baths and massages on offer.
What you might moan about
You're kind of isolated here, which is nice if you want to be isolated, not so nice if you want to party - it's near the old harbour but about a 15-minute walk from town.
And there's no restaurant. Breakfast is included in the price, though, and if you hire a studio, maisonette or the house you can cook for yourself.
Rates from €120 ($175) to €210 ($310) for a standard double depending on season, rising to €220 ($315) to €415 ($610) for a 4-person studio or €650 ($955) to €1,100 ($1,620) for the 10-person house. All including breakfast and free transfer.
