We had a large group of people and booked two rooms, only to find out when we got there that the owner had double booked...no worries though. She was very helpful by quickly finding a close replacement room for the other of us and drove us back and forth. The replacement wasn't as nice but we made do. The apartment was down a small alleyway, which was very hard to find at first but made for an interesting "adventure." The apartments were VERY nice. Clean and spacious, it's stocked with towels, sheets, and even food to cook if you want to pay for it (very reasonable prices). It was all located in a small grove of lemon trees that culminated in a FABULOUS view, which the pictures do not do justice. Also there is an awesome inlet off the bay that you can swim in and dive off of rocks, which is within walking distance. If I have the chance to go back I will DEFINITELY stay here again. WARNING THOUGH - be VERY, VERY careful when renting a moped. I had a little accident and spent my last three weeks in Europe in a cast. :-\

LOVED IT! I thought we got a lot for our money! The views around the area were gorgeous. Yes, the location down the alley is kind of crappy, but it was an adventure and the staff always offered to drive us into down, which was very nice! The staff were incredible!!! I couldn't believe how nice the place was for the money!

The photos looked so nice that we booked in at the Regina Giovanna for four nights. When we arrived we were really disappointed, as our apartment didn't look like in the pictures in the slightest. The apartment was clean, but furnished and equipped absolutely lovelessly and Spartanly: no table, no soap, no washing-up liquid, no oven, and no towels. It was very cold in the evenings (we had to run our hair dryer all evening to be warm). There was air-conditioning, but that is, of course, useless in April. It is mentioned nowhere that you have to walk 500 meters down a bumpy alley from the place where you can park your car (if you are lucky) to the apartments. But the worst of everything was the apartment itself. There was only one window, and that was made of frosted glass. The apartment reminded us of a cellar. And it was very, very clammy inside! We had a lot of difficulties drying our towels after we had a shower. And after two days, we were getting sore throats. We were really happy when we could finally leave. To put it in a nutshell, the apartment is absolutely NOT worth the money you have to pay for it!
