There’s an open-plan living room and a double bedroom (some rooms have beds in a loft alcove) with an ensuite walk-in shower. Rooms include a bottle of Santorini wine, flatscreen TV, CD/DVD player, minibar and free WiFi.

There’s a bathroom with a shower, too. Some of the suites are open-plan; all include a bottle of Santorini wine, flatscreen TV, CD/DVD player, minibar and free WiFi.
