Just what we were looking for.
Felt so lucky to find Valley View Lodge! If you’re looking for a place away from the tourist areas with quaint small village charm, this is it. Not much happening in the village but a walk around gives a feel for the quiet life away from the coast. Eat at the Golden Cage for dinner, the only restaurant in the old part of town. Good food and eclectically decorated. The lodge was comfortable, with a lovey balcony for lounging. It is just as pictured. The stairs are a little tricky but easily managed. Julie and Manthos were so welcoming and helpful! Even met us so we could follow them through the village to a parking area. Loved our stay, wished we had booked it for longer.
