From the moment we arrived, we absolutely loved Stella's apartment, which is stylish, comfortable and full of character. We enjoyed our week there so much that we have already booked our next visit later this year! Stella is a truly delightful person, very warm and welcoming. We appreciated the fresh fruit, coffee, juice etc she provided, the delicious home baking from her mother, and all the helpful information she provided. The apartment has a bright, spacious bathroom, with a good shower. The modern kitchen opens onto one of the balconies, next to a lemon tree, where it was lovely to sit with an early-morning coffee, looking out over rooftops to the sparkling sea and the Venetian harbour in the distance. As it was hotter than expected in early June, we were grateful for the air-conditioning in one bedroom and the ceiling fan (which was very effective) in the other - and found that pulling down the shutters to keep the sun out during the day was a good idea. We liked the quietness and character of the immediate neighbourhood, with some lovely old buildings, and and the fact that within 5 minutes walk there is a friendly mini-market, a pharmacy, a very good take-out coffee shop/bakery, which was buzzing every morning, and a couple of eateries. It was easy to get into town by bus from a nearby bus stop, or by taxi for no more than 5 euros. About 10 minutes walk from the apartment takes you to a waterfront fish restaurant with stunning views and sunsets, or the characterful Chalepa taverna, which we loved. We also discovered two stylish places to have an evening drink. Last but not least was being able to walk in 5 minutes down to a beautiful rocky beach, to swim in crystal clear water, with no other tourists to spoil the peace! We felt we were experiencing real Greece, and said goodbye to Stella and her mum feeling like family friends.
