We absolutely loved our stay at Filippos' place. Filippos was a great host - very friendly, super fast communication whenever we asked for recommendations (his suggestions were great for beaches, where to buy fish/meat!), very hospitable, and nothing was too much trouble. Oros Residence is a beautiful place to stay - exactly like in the pictures. We loved our early morning breakfasts at the front of the house, and our meals on the balcony in the evening, overlooking the stunning views at the back of the property. The outdoor space is fantastic, very thoughtfully landscaped and lit, and so many places to choose to sit and relax in the sun, or the shade. The indoor space is great too, a real open plan feel to it, very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped for self catering - which we did a lot of - I think probably the best equipped kitchen we have cooked in during our many years of airbnb travel. There was so much to see during our stay (12 days) and we could easily have stayed for another week exploring. We loved the wild beaches, snorkelling and walking Imbros Gorge in particular. A car is essential as nearest supermarket and bakery a drive away, but was easy to get fresh milk, bread, and basic essentials there. The fresh fruit and veg market in Rethymnon on Thursdays is fantastic - we bought much of what we needed there, as well as the fish and meat place very close by that Filippos recommended. Our 12 days few past so quickly and we were sad to leave. Would have no hesitation in recommending Filippos and his beautiful home to anyone wanting an away from it all holiday destination - we'd be back like a shot if we could!
