A gorgeous place, beautifully appointed - everything is 'just so', from the fabrics in the room to the lovely breakfast, colourful pool loungers, amazing fluffy towels and sweet-smelling toiletries, but what makes this place is the incredible welcome by a charming multi-lingual young couple. Pierre and Antigone are the utmost hosts, always ready to chat but also happy to let you be if you want a bit of solitude admiring the view. I was touched by the way Antigone, realising my husband had a bit of trouble with stairs, changed our room to one with fewer stairs, with no fuss and without being at all patronising, quite the opposite. Our room was on the small side but well appointed, with a gorgeous turquoise bathroom and a small balcony with a table and two chairs. The only issue I would mention is that the bath plug did not work but it had a good rain shower over the bath. Breakfast included freshly pressed orange juice, delicious local pastries and egg dishes (the scrambled eggs with tomato on our last day were excellent), fruit salad, creamy yoghurt and more, with everything beautifully presented. Last but not least our dog Bubble was made so welcome she didn't want to leave! She could play with the house dog Lola and brown Lab Bruno from next door came to our door every day to ask her if she wanted to play. I think he had a crush on her and will miss her. Alistos means 'unforgettable' and we will definitely remember this place.
