3/5 - Okay
The little town of Velas itself was nothing remarkable, but the surrounding area was beautiful and full of wonderful sights and place to swim.

The rooms and property are really lovely and quiet and the staff was very generous and wanted to make our stay special.

Adorable local cottage in a very small town. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor. Neighbors gave us a walking tour and showed us their garden and taught us history of the area.
