There are 10 suites and four apartments with sea views, but the highlight is breakfast, which is served amidst the orange trees and bougainvillea around the pool. The Greek recipes, made with local ingredients, are typically Samian and have been handed down through generations – think “halvas of grandma Evdokia”, paspala meat, rolls stuffed with cheese and honey, pumpkin cakes, walnut pies and chickpea dumplings.
