Especially convenient and appreciated was the washing machine in the ground floor bathroom. The location is also a short walk from the town's main drag, which was convenient for going out to dinner or taking an evening walk on the dock.

Odyssey Boutique Hotel

Odyssey Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the hotel! Its location and views are absolutely to die for. I could have spent our whole trip in the pool just taking in the views and enjoying the serenity. The staff were amazing. We did make one mistake , when you check in they offer you half board at 20 euros a person for a 3 course dinner but you have to do it for your entire stay. We opted not to and ate at several other restaurants which did not have the views , the service , the ambience or the quality of the food at the odyssey. So don’t make the same mistake we did!!"
