The hotel is an amazing location if you plan to visit Valley of the Temples as it is looks out over the Greek temples and is a short drive to the archeological park. They had lots of easy parking and the hotel is in a beautiful, peaceful location. We enjoyed eating at the hotel restaurant, where the food was delicious, and relaxing at the beautiful pool.

We stayed for only one night, wish we had a chance to stay for longer, with 4 friends. All found the Hotel to be wonderful, loved the focus on its eco impact and its use of products that it grows itself, a must try is the prickly pear cocktail. Rooms were great and the view is fantastic and great for visiting the ancient ruins .
