We have a big citrus garden, living room, kitchen, rooftop terrace with sea and mountain view.

The city center is only 12 minutes away where you can visit the big church. On Tuesday and Friday you can shop at the local markets, just 7 minute away from the Hostel.

This was a great hostel, that appeals to any age of traveller. A great location, although parking is a little walk away, its not an issue. Very Friendly team, clean, great aircon and a nice atmosphere.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hostel! Everything was incredibly clean, especially the rooms, and the common areas were really lovely and welcoming. The atmosphere with the staff was amazing. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and generous, and whenever you needed anything, they were always happy to help. They also organized fun events and evenings, which made the whole experience even better! It really felt like a home away from home. I had such a wonderful time and would definitely come bac
