I had been dreaming of staying at Korakia Pensione for years, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was super tranquil, perfect for relaxation, though there were a few hiccups like some cleanliness issues and less-than-ideal service from certain staff. My room had this amazing stone tub which was a total treat. The food was delicious, especially breakfast, and the grounds were just gorgeous, especially during those romantic evenings. I'm definitely planning to return, but fingers crossed they'll smooth out a few kinks next time.
