"We stayed only 2 nights and feel like home. Spacious rooms and the all house so clean having all you need for your holiday. Just few minutes walk from center but you feel like you are in a village"
George Katsikidis
"Overall, is very good. The apartment is as it described in the adv. It is fully equipped, clean, quite and spacious.The location is 15 mins walk from the city centre. Both owners are friendly, helpful and responsive. The door of the one room can't close as the bed is big and block it - however, not an issue. It is recommended for staying in Trikala."
