This beautiful house is large and has plenty of space for a family or group of friends to enjoy without crowding each other. There are plenty of terraces, sun chairs, small tables with chairs, separate sitting rooms, and outdoor spaces in the garden. We loved picking fresh herbs from the garden for all of our meals and enjoying fresh oranges from the trees! We had big family meals around the outdoor dining table, which is just outside the kitchen.
Plenty of clean towels and extra bedding, all the kitchen supplies you could need. And the house is steps away from one of the best taverns around which has excellent food and wine, and is vegan/ vegetarian friendly (we are vegan so this was a very happy surprise).
We visited in October so keep in mind that the water in the swimming pool is cold that time of year. We like cold plunging between sunbathing so it was perfect for us, but if you don’t like the cold you’ll want to stay out of the pool outside of the summer months. The grotto pool water is not as cold as the outside pool, but it’s not warm. I’m guessing that both pools would be perfect in the heat of summer.
VanGos is an excellent host who was attentive to our needs and provided some great local tips for restaurants, taverns, beaches, and places to visit. We stayed for about a week and he made us feel completely at home and taken care of. He’s the most responsive and proactive Airbnb host I’ve ever experienced, and we’ve stayed in many! We really felt like valued guests and he even offered to let us check out late as our flight was late at night on our checkout day.
I highly recommend this home, and VanGos as a host!
