From the moment we arrived in the early hours of the morning we were shown a warm welcome by all the friendly staff. My husband mentioned to Maria I was allergic gluten and tomato’s. The next morning the lovely Anna (breakfast chef extraudinair) had me covered. She showed/told me what I could eat, what I couldn’t and what she was unsure of I wasn’t allowed. Who would believe scrambled egg and cheese had gluten in them? she and the rest of the staff looked after my dietary needs for the whole 9 nights. I also took a Greek coeliac translation card. Our one bedroomed apartment Basic, very clean, ours had 5 beds but not enough wardrobe space for 5 people. Cleaned to a very high standard and Towels changed at least every 2 days. You pay extra for air con and safe. We didn’t need air con. There were steps up to the apartment and pool. Or a very steep road down to the apartments. Kitchen in the large room was adequate with 2 rings a small kettle and a fabulous sandwich maker/grill. It had everything we needed including a table and 4 chairs, fridge and the usual cutlery and crockery. Bathroom with a lovely walk in shower, toilet and large sink. AND plenty of loo roll. Bedroom ours had 2 single very comfortable beds, hair dryer, mirror with table, bedside table with draw and somewhere to open your suitcase with a big draw underneath. Nice size. Balcony with table and 4 chairs and drying rack with fabulous views down to the sea and Hersonissos. The pool was lovely - very cold in October but it didn’t stop me from swimming every day. As people have previously said. Not enough sun beds but you just have to ask and they will put more out. Cramped together some days but it didn’t matter. Resteraunt on site was flipping amazing for me coeliac/gluten free from Anna to George and another lady (I cannot remember her name). If you want something different from the menu just give then 24 hours notice. We had the buffet breakfast occasionally, lunch a few days. Where Anna cooked me real chips in separate oil. 2 evening meals - lamb chops ( the best I had on the island) and Pork shine ( pork leg) both of which George cooked. I cannot praise the staff enough. Maria’s attitude was “We cannot give you this time back so we have to make sure we do it right” or something like that. Lofos means hill and it is on a very steep hill as mentioned in previous reviews. So up or dawn from the apartments is very steep in places. I need knee surgery but managed, very slowly either up to Piscopiano and the 2 beautiful villages further on or even along to Old Hersonissos. We even ventured down into Hersonissos. There’s a nice cafe at the top of the hill in Piscopiano for a drink, a rest and watch everyone negotiate the T junction. Also Taxis are €8. We ate at the Restaurant just down the hill on the left Areston-Spankis, taverna Harakas in Old Hersonissos, Thira &Eliotas in Piscopiano, Alex and Christina’s tapas just further on (but they don’t do tapas anymore)
