The dorms are super nice, all the beds are in wood and super.comfortable. there.is in front of the sea a terrace.where.you can spend your time, watching the sea and sunset. Is just amazing. A tranquil.environment, few locals restaurants, where you can get food. The owner is super nice, friendly, welcoming and careful for every need you have. I felt super relaxed and quiet, and sometimes after you travel a lot, you just need to rest in a place like this. Absolutely recommend. One thing: is in a far away side of the.island, so to.rent a motorbike is needed!
