Très bien

Parfaites localisation pour visiter Matala et les plages des environs . L’endroit est très calme , et l’hôtesse très sympathique. L’immeuble est proche de la plage , mais sa localisation par le gps de l’annonce mène au centre du village alors qu’il faut tourner à gauche après être entré dans le village ..ceci dit de nombreux panneaux guide jusqu’à Garifalia Studio’s
